MRZ pulley review
well i got the pulley on, here's some info you will need
tools:
belt removal tool(for tensioner)
belt(4050390<<gatorback part #)
jack
jack stands
impact(my electric impact, rated 200lbs, worked fine)
how to will come when i have more time, here's some pics for not of the UDP pulley on the car



Here's a shot of the OEM lightweight 1/2 installed, only missing the bolt

i haven't gone out for a drive yet so idk how it feels, dyno will come tommorow
UPDATE: dyno'd today...here's the #'s


as you can see the UDP did add more, but in all reality, i dont see anything out of the ordinary in the dyno number, the first one was doen with 10 min break from making the drive to the dyno, the OEM lightweight got a 10-15min break after 2 consecutive pulls, which might be why the OEM got such low numbers, well the UDP got 30 min break time, as the belt was once more a bitch to put back on...i posted the best of each pulleys #, compared them to each other, like i said, i dont see anything out of the ordinary, no enought power was added, but i can say my car rev's like a bat out of hell, i let it rip on the dyno in the first gear
had a big smile the whole way, car pulled like it never has before

Just got my lightweight pulley installed today and took it for a long test drive.
I cannot believe how heavy the stock harmonic balancer is now that I hold it in my hand. Damn what a difference in weight even compared to the lightweight version MRZ pulley.
It revs up very quickly almost instantly up to about 5700 rpm's like nothing
I did not notice any extra vibrations or strange noises after installation. No C.E.L. either
Don't expect any huge Hp gains from this one mod or you'll be dissapointed. I would say I felt just a little more power maybe 2-3 Hp more but the real test will be in the Dyno results.
Go Jn2!

yeah i haven't taken it past 3k rpms yet, i really don't like to floor it, but i can tell you taking off a stop the gas is more responsive, also when i first started the car it idled around 1200, rev'd it, stayed at 1200, let it sit for a good 15 mins, it slowly dropped to 1k, than down to 800ish, where it stays at now... no vibrations that i can feel(but than again i do have solid mounts), pulley looks steady when spinning, really this thing is a beauty, i almost didn't wanna put it on :p

1st Gear feels like a different car entirely and yeah there's no way I'm taking it off now. Driveability does not seem to be affected at all. I had my friend rev the car while I was looking at it and it looks very well balanced. We should post some videos tomorrow to show everyone exactly how it helps with the revs
im testing both versions on the dyno
one is the OEM size pulley the other is the UDP...i took the pic for refrence
10????? i dont drive a lawn mower
i say about 130ish maybe, around 140ish trq...hopefully lol

oh lol...right, nah i dont see 10 being a possibility, hell i am betting on 2-3whp...this is from the UDP, the OEM i see doing not one thing...but ill ask the dyno guy if i can record the tach as he does the run to show the diffrence between the two
