Getting the Stillen Crankshaft Pulley Installed Today!

[crayzitalian3]

at one i'm dropping off my car to get the stillen crankshaft pulley installed, i can't wait, i will let you guys know how the car feels afterwards. even if there isn't much of a difference i will post up and let you guys know exactly how i feel about it and whether or not it is a product i recommend you guys to get.

i will do a before and after Dynolicious run as well to let you guys see any differences for yourself.

[dldjros69]

Its 1150 here on the east coast. I see you are in new york.

I will sit here an impatiently wait for an update.

im excited to see how this turns out.

If that iphone app picks up on a difference i will be surprised.

[crayzitalian3]

lol so would i, i dropped it off at 1:30 and they started working on it a little while ago, its 2:47 now so im assuming at 2:10 actually, just remembered now that they had it on the lift when i picked up my bro at 2:14. so hopefully everything is going well. they already dirtied my carpet? i noticed when i had to go back to my car because i left my phone in the car

freaking bastardo's

[crayzitalian3]

i just picked it up, but its raining so the roads are too wet to really see a true difference on the Dynolicious App, but I do feel it jump a little more off the start, when I would wait at a light, I would give it a little bit of gas, but the car jumped as if I was giving it a good amount of it. i just need the streets to dry up and ill do a couple runs and see how it goes.

when i checked out the old crankshaft pulley, it felt like it was a 20 pond dumbell lol. that thing was heavy

but yeah so far from what i can tell, its more jumpier off the line.

[Marisha]

Cool. Definitely report back on when you've had a good while getting used to it and seeing if there are any other differences.

[mzinsmeister]

Where did you take it to get it installed?

[crayzitalian3]

i went to a local mechanic shop to get it installed

[dldjros69]

CI3 - is it dry there yet?

Run that bad boy and give us an update...

[crayzitalian3]

lol im going out right now

im not a Criminal Investigator... lol

[dldjros69]

lol im going out right now

im not a Criminal Investigator... lol

Were you watching first 48 last night

wtf lol

[crayzitalian3]

lol naa, whats that?

[crayzitalian3]

could of had better runs if i had different tires and we didn't have so much restrictions on the WOT and rev limiter,

***Just so you guys know, these are runs where i didn't even hit 6,000 rpm, highest was 5800 out of all the runs, all the runs took forever to get that needle up to 5,800 and thats not even red line, WTF Mate, talk about whack limitations, these cars would have so much more potential if the limiters were removed and our engines were built to withstand the power these cars really have***

here is before the crankshaft pulley was installed

AFTER CRANKSHAFT PULLEY INSTALLED

going down a very slightly sloped road, was not flat

on a nice flat straightaway ***you can notice on this run that i had great start, but the engine just couldn't hold it because of the limiters, so it slowed the car down instead of giving it more power...

once my rims and yokohama S.Drives are on, i will post up more runs, they should be on tuesday, so once tuesday comes guys, more runs for all of you

[dldjros69]

Are these only the b4 the pulley?

Where are the after?

[crayzitalian3]

the two bottom ones are after

sorry

[dldjros69]

so it looks like i see some imporvement.

Slight but some.

Do you have a cvt or mt?

[crayzitalian3]

CVT, unfortunately, i gaurantee a better feel in performance on your MT

[dldjros69]

Were the first and third test on the same strip?

I will def have to get this mod, and spend the 12.99 for the dyno app...

It looks like as time goes on the gains got larger.

Yeah i have a manny with the sts, ill bang the heck out of those gears lol

the first one was in a parking lot 2 in the morning lol

the second was on a service road that had a slight decline

the third was on a nice flat straight

damn you got the STS, lol don't slam it too hard

thats awesome man and yeah 12.99 for that app is sooo worth it, they are comparison tests with the G-tech and this one was more on the dot.

deff try it out and let us know your results!!! i will be doing more soon just give me a little bit of time, i will prob do some tonight

Not that i want you to get in trouble but if at all possible can you try to recreate the first test in the parking lot.

[crayzitalian3]

ofcourse, i was going to do that tonight, i gotta heat those tires up and that lot is the best place to do it, the place is Ginormous lol, and their is one security guard and if your on the opposite side of the place, there is no way he will find you...

ill heat them up, do about 3-4 runs and i should get a great time out of it

[crayzitalian3]

here are my best runs, could of done better if the dang car hit 6,000 RPM's lol, but these were my best from the parking lot

First run I did..after this first run, my car decided to go slower as if the engine shut down some of its power , is that even possible

My second run...after this run it got worse lol

[legend_217]

Did you have intake and exhaust installed ? My best 0-60 is exactly 7 seconds with stock wheels, intake + exhaust (no pulley yet). It should be lil bit faster now with my new tires. oh...nvm, you have 2.5.

[crayzitalian3]

if i get exhaust i should be hitting 7 or under just hit another good time today i think the more i drive it the better its getting

what do you have 2.5?

[crayzitalian3]

this is one is on the the street too, not even in a parking lot, very proud of this time!

[JDRosenberg07]

Im toying with the idea of getting this now but id like to see it done on an MT for more accurate results.

[crayzitalian3]

yo JDR you will probably see more of an increase in performance than my car would because the MT is quicker and doesn't have as less restrictions as the CVT does. So i'm assuming it would benefit you more than it would benefit me.

[digitalbow]

Acceleration tests will not reveal much information to you, as the lightened pulley's benefits are best observed on cranking and throttling from idle. A dyno might show a 5whp net. It's hard to capture the effects by either method.

Do you have the OE diameter or the underdriven pulley?

[mcheddadi]

this is one is on the the street too, not even in a parking lot, very proud of this time!

that app looks awesome! I want it. is it avaible on the iphone only? or the itouch too?

[crayzitalian3]

its for both the ipod and iphone

and i have the OE, i have a 2.5 if you couldn't tell already by lookin at the times lol

there is a difference and those times prove it right there

[bhs07c]

Yeah..I have the crankshaft pulley installed in my MT..there's not much of a "seat of the pants" gain past 1st and 2nd gear..HOWEVER..the acceleration is noticeably smoother and i can definitely hear the engine revving up faster and revving down slower. I have mixed feelings about this part..because on one hand, I think the price is too steep for such a minute difference in power but..at the same time, it compliments other after market products, if you get what I'm saying. I like the difference it's just not as good as I expected. But..hey, you win some you lose some, all that matters is that my car is better off than it was without it.
