pulley help!

[tabizzy]

hey guys, not sure if this goes in advanced or not...so dont get mad if it does :D i jus recieved my asp crank/alternator pulley set...but it came with no bolts...no diagram...and i dunno if i need a new belt or not...please help!!

[tabizzy]

..lol anybody? anybody at all?

You use the bolts that are already on the car and yes you will need a new belt. Call ASP and they will give you the size. What year is your car and are you installing both pulleys?

thanks stagen, 95' 3.4L, i got the new belt the other day. i purchased the crank and alternator set. i know where the alternator pulley is...but i got the crank narrowed down to two...will i see a difference after i get these puppies on?

hey tabizzy, my asp pullies (crank & alternator) are on their way too. I ordered them yesterday so they should be here next week or so. Tell me if the install is easy or not and what exactly I need to do since we have the same year, and engine.

theorwtically its easy, you remove 5 bolts form the crank pulley(the one in the center all the way on the bottom). Sounds easy, but mine were on real tight, hell with my car in gear and me trying to undo the 4 ones around the center i was cranking the engine and moving my car. I got them off then put the crank pulley in the same spot.

the alternator pulley is jsut one nut to remove. I got my original one off with out too much trouble, did bend a fin on the little fan blade. But I had to replace my alternator, and came with a new pulley which for the love of god I cannot get off. So I am only running the crank pulley at the moement, which sucks cuz I got my personal best without it, wonder what I would have gotten with it on?

I heard that someone did not use a belt and it worked fine, but I bought my crank/alt pulley set used and it came with a belt. I needed a new drivebelt anyways.

alritey...im gonna attempt to put these bad boys on tomorrow sometime...and hopefully that crank comes off!! does anyone know how good my battery will be charging after this install? lots of people have been giving me warnings...im not liking them...lol [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]

i have underdriven pullies, seems to be making it much harder to charge at night, especially now that i put foglights in my car. no problem when i'm driving , but when i stop, volts go down very far, especially if i have my system on.

\yep, you will notice a bit of charge loss but it's not too bad. I put a higher amp \alt on and a Gel Cell Deep Cycle battery on mine. When I had the subs in I also ran a 1.0 F cap that helped a lot.
