Default UR Crank Pulley

Just installed the Unorthodox Racing crank pulley and I gotta say it was well worth the money.(Found it on ebay this past week for $100, how could I not buy it?) Easy to install as well. Acceleration improved a lot and im loving it. Next step is exhaust system. Since Nismo stopped making parts for 05 altimas, I will most likely go with the cat-back exhuast system from Magnflow.

Wow, let me know if you come acrossed a deal like that again. I've been wanting to get one but can't justify spending the $200 for it without being able to see a dyno sheet

would getting the lightweight pulley affect the cvt transmissions?? I've been looking to get one also, but have read lots of mixed reviews. Some say it works, while others say it just allows you to reach the higher rpms quicker, but it does not give you close to 10+ hp since the size is the same...it's just about 3lbs lighter than the standard pulley.

I got mufflers and a resonator for it, getting the 2.5" piping custom made because the catback is only 2.25". magnaflow sounds good imo

I agree that it doesn't give you the power, but more or less frees up the horsepower. Think of it like heavy wheels...The less mass you have to rotate, the more power you can use towards projecting the car.

i think its better for the cvt then the 5/4 speed a/t it will rev up faster and lighter means more hp all the way

wondering if anyone here with a cvt has installed one and seen the benefits or feel of the UR pulley...

also when you get the pulley, does that mean you also have to upgrade the belts?? like these:

If you go with an underdrive pulley you will need to buy a shorter belt. The website for the pulley should tell you what size you need. A lightweight pulley would use the standard size. That belt you have linked has a reference to a specific pulley kit. If that pulley kit is for the pulley you are interested in then yes, that's what you need.
