ASP pulley torque specs? help!

[0range_240]

Hey all, I just installed my under drive pulley, and im wondering what the correct torque should be on the pulley bolt? on ASP they say its 85 ft.lbs but Ive read higher on 240sx.org

Any help?

It's 105-112 ft/lbs according to the FSM.

crud... well I guess I'll have to tighten it a bit more

thanks for the quick reply =)

ASP could be right about the 85 ft/lbs since the pulley is a bit lighter.

unorthodox says the same as teh fsm, hmmm, wierd, seeing as how both UR and ASP are lightened

how's the pulley? big difference?

Heh, I dont know quite yet, seeing as I havent driven the car yet. However I did start the car up and it does rev quicker, no doubt about it. the throttle response is also far and away much better than it was before. The difference in weight when you have a pulley in each hand is remarkable.. the stock pulley feels like its made of iron in comparison.

Im going to take my car out for a little drive, when I get back I'll keep you guys posted on what kind of difference it made.

the stock one 8 pounds and 9 oz or so, the UR is 1 lb 9 oz, ASP about the same, and i read 1 lb off the rotational massis good for about 2.7 hp (UR website), so 6*2.7 = 15hp, but they only quote about 8 hp increase at the wheels

I havent driven the car yet, but im hoping I will atleast feel a noticeable difference.. *crosses fingers*

Hi all, well I took the car for a drive into town. First impressions: hard to say, majority of the roads here are covered in ice, im hoping for more dry pavement in the near future. I did find a stretch of highway though and opened'er up in 2nd and 3rd... like I said before, I can feel a difference.. not sure if its in my head though, seeing as the car was in the shop for the last week or so, so its hard to compare on memory. However, I unforunately have come across a strange problem, the blower for my heater works on and off, and often times I can hear it slow down and speed up quite noticeably... it does this on all the blower settings, from 1-4. And if the car is running at less than 1800 rpm it just seems to stop working altogether. Has anyone had a similar problem before? I am thinking maybe I didnt tighten the water/alt pump enough,and the belt isnt spinning all the time??

Its -28 C right now, and heating is a MUST... anyone have any idea how to rectify this problem??

btw, my stereo and dash lights all seem to be working perfectly normal
