Lets talk pulley
 

Recent conversation on rust on lower engine parts, I wanted to pull my crank pulley off and address the bit of rust.

Since I am going that far, I am considering replacing crank pulley with ATI Super Damper ATI918584. and Gates K070795RPM belt.

2017 Nismo, Summer DD and spirited driving.

If cost not an issue, is this thing going to do any harm? Are the dampening/protection advertisements valid?

or am I wasting money?

zz:tiphat:

Bunch of us have been using the ATI pulley for years.

:iagree:

I am very happy with my ATI pulley and Gates Racing belt.

When are you going to install them? :tup:

Last summer :)

You got yours installed before I did. Mines still in the box :icon14:

Thanks guys. So, even for a DD it's not a bad upgrade.

It is a great upgrade. Get the standard factory size.

Yes. I believe i left correct Part number is in OP.

I will recall this thread for tips and tricks on install when time to install comes.

You guys use any torque adapters to get the 90 degrees after the initial 33 ft.lbs?

You might be lucky to get past 60 degrees. I had a piece of pipe on the end of a breaker bar.

Ya, I recall that from my Xterra timing chain job.:rofl2: Same specs. :shakes head:

I too left it at 60. Felt "tight enough". :icon14::roflpuke2:

Except I had more room on the Xterra to do it from the top.

Gearbox is enough to hold the crank fro turning?

Gearbox in 1st, with e-brake on. I went through both the bottom and top.

Thanks, i figured.

Unnecessary for you in my opinion to get the ATI, youre not really gaining that much for $350, i would just buy a decently used OEM one from like Z1, n get a short throw shifter with the rest, much better money dumped IMHO. But i am a ROSS performance harmonic balance user, the engine is smooth as fvck.

So whats involved with replacing the pulley?

What needs to come out for best access?

thanks.
