Dude, read the OP:

The NST Kit includes a 10% Underdrive Crank Pulley along with a 10% Overdrive (faster) Alternator Pulley. This means that the alternator will run at OEM speeds when the NST kit is used. Extra power, torque, and response... no need to worry about a weak battery, dimming lights, or poor a/c performance at idle.

-10% + 10% = 0% difference...

Everything else runs at normal speeds. I'm used to being sleep deprived.

And sh0velman asked about Power steering

You need more sleep, LOL

SS_Firehawk · 02-07-2013, 02:12 PM

I saw no difference. Voltages are same as stock as well.

Sh0velMan · 02-07-2013, 02:13 PM

Chris,

If the crank pulley is underdriven, everything on the belt is underdriven. They offer an alternator pulley to offset that difference for the alternator, but not for the PS pump. Hence my question.

Hmm, coulda swore "Everything else on the belt..." Included the PS pump..

I understand that point, but if you underdrive one pulley, and overdrive another pulley, it is my understanding all Other pulleys operate as if there were no difference. It's a system because they're all connected to the same belt.

If you only installed the Underdriven crank pulley, and not the overdriven alternator pulley, yes the entire system would be underdriven. This is the point behind overdriving the alternator pulley.

It doesn't work that way. If the net change is nothing there would be no reason to go under driven
They overdrive the alternator so that your voltages don't drop

Hmm, then my understanding of the belts/pulleys is all fuq'd up.

Sh0velMan · 02-07-2013, 02:39 PM

Under-driving the crank pulley (the one doing the work) decreases the belt speed. Each individual accessory would need its own undersized (over driven) pulley to compensate for that fact.

In that case, I've had my pulleys on for going on almost 35k mi now, and have had no problems with PS or voltage or coolant flow/temps.

I received my kit last week. My main concern would be looking forward to the rev increase. As i know this motor climbs under my expectations a whole lot. Any little increase would make me feel somewhat relieved. Least faster then the slow setting on my wipers blades. Lol
Works getting done @ RT this weds. I'll let u guys know how I make out.

CTD-Germany · 03-04-2013, 01:16 PM

@antfd3s .. when you have ordered your set? did you order directly from NST? i ask, because we have ordered a couple of sets in end of november and still no delivery. on the phone is everytime the answering machine... no response on emails. does this company still exist?

Been trying to contact NST as well with no response. I find this very unprofessional. How can I contact NST.
I see them active on facebook. I don't get it

SS_Firehawk · 03-05-2013, 05:47 PM

It took me 2 months to get mine. They sell them faster than they make them.

That doesn't surprise me. I picked my clutch and flywheel from NST. It's not a huge operation. I can't imagine more than a few people work there.
