NST (NonStopTuning) 370Z VQ37HR Pulley Kit Review w/ Dyno Charts

tcarretti · 09-03-2009, 12:24 PM

OK, how hard of an install is this guys? I've called around and gotten prices for installation from two places. One for $150 and one for $240... both of which I think are a little high considering that from what I've read that this is about a 1.5 hour job with the right tools.

I'm not a mechanic so I don't know that I'd be able to do it on my own, but I don't want to feel like I'm getting gouged on it either.

Any feedback or information would be great.

Thanks,

Tony

I had Cobb in Plano Tx install one for me this morning. It was 1.5 hours @ $85.00 per hour or $127.50. Probably took an hour to do.

I paid the mechanics 1.5 hours worth although they took a little longer. Must remove the starter and the alternator.

Moemeister thanks for all the great info for the correct belt and install tips.

tcarretti · 09-04-2009, 03:13 PM

Denny,

Thanks for the info. Did you do just the underdrive pulley or both? I have heard that if you do the alternator pulley, it's best if they remove the alternator to do it.

Thanks,

Tony

Damn that makes me glad I install all my own stuff, by the time i have my headers, testpipes, and intake on I will have saved enough money to buy like three sets of these.

Edit: oh and RCZ you could always run the underdrive crank pulley and go for the next level up boost pulley for a supercharger, thats what i ran on my beretta and they were sized so i was actually making a pound more boost than before

Don't hate me....... Because I'm pretty and also that I had the the Stillen pulley installed using the stock alternator pulley. Frankly I have real issues with Stillen over the exhaust system that took me a month to finally make work so it didn't bang or rattle with zero Stillen support. However, ate crow and bought theirs anyway. Wanted the 20% under drive vs 10%. Does 20% vs 10% really make a differenc.....hell, I don't know.

After the header install fiasco, I was glad as hell to pay someone to install the pulley as I don't have the right pulley puller and it's a hell of a lot easier on a hoist vs flat on your back. Turns out Cobb didn't have the right pully puller either but got lucky and used two screw drivers to pry it off.

I have been to your site but could not find my country on your shipping list.
