i installed my udp about a week ago. and i noticeded today that theres kind of a squeeky sound coming from the engine, i think its coming from the belt area. also does anyone who has the udp notice that the engine shakes a bit more. the lower idling rps are normal im guessing.

 

Squeaky sounds?

 

almost like somthing is tapping somthing.

 

How loud?

 

There will be more belt noise with the use of this pulley. Although I am unsure of the squeak you are talking about...you have a mouse stuck under there?!? j/k

 

I'm not doubting your mechanical skills but double check your torque numbers on the pulley. Make sure everything is nice and even.

 

....check the belt for rubbing as well. If the belt is rubbing you will smell burnt rubber often. If it's just the belt squeaking, throw on some belt dressing. I added some when I installed my UDP. I haven't heard any type of noises.

 

what the torque supposed to have?

I installed mine and didnt measured the torque just do iut by hand

sory my english is bad and im a little drunk!, hehe

 

19 +- 2 ft/lbs. Being drunk is no excuse for bad typing.

 

i donno. my dad helped.. well he did most of it. it might just be the belt nois ur talking about

 

im confused on this tourqu nuimber stuff, i dont have a A in mechanics. everyone i asked said that its just a bolt on. its either on or off. ?? wat am i missing

 

You have to properly (as in use a torque wrench set to 19 lbs) apply pressure to all the bolts to make sure they are:
1) ON
2) Not stripping the threads on the bolts
3) Making absolutely sure there isn't ANY chance of vibration coming from that specific part.
4) Peace of mind that you did your part in maintaining your car
5) Keeps people from making long obnoxious lists that list things you probably allready know (or should before attempting to work on your motor)

 

I too had a squeeky belt from RRM. They would do nothing for me. I ended up buying a new belt with the same spec's.... squeek gone.

 

More reasons why torquing bolts is needed. If you over-tighten a bolt, you risk stretching the bolt, stripping the threads out of the hole, and an all around bad time. Over-tightened bolts also risk breaking down the road and warping whatever they're bolted into, in this case, the UDP. Under-torquing bolts risks the bolts coming loose or backing out, obviously that's bad, too.

Pretty much every bolt on your car has a torque level assigned to it. Some aren't so important to get right, such as the torque to hold the plastic cover on the engine, others are so important that it's the different between a running and not-running engine, such as the head bolt torque.

 

How long did you have the belt?
