Not really an uneven balance although I would not condone running the car with 3/4 bolts holding it down. Be very careful tapping the crank as it steel and will not be happy if you do not know what your doing.

 

yes 3/4 bolts are holding it down.there ia a little meat holding the 4th in place though. I almost died when I felt it twisting. honestly....TORQUE SPECS ARE VERY IMPORTANT JUST FOR THIS REASON. let this be a lesson to all. lets get some damn numbers for how much torque those bolts should have LOL. frik.... I still cant figure out how to post a bigger pic. I see everyone do it all the time but I am new at the pic thing LOL. Thx for everyones input and help.

 

Crankshaft pulley bolt 25 ± 4 N·m (19 ± 2 ft-lb)

 

That would be a great sticky, all or most of the torque specs for parts on the ralliart. At least the ones that'll come up from mods or maintenance. Do you have them all Myszkewicz?

 

very excellent and thank you. I needed those! LOL. Yes...everyone has an issue with something on their car im sure....this just happens to be mine LOL. I can't beleive that bolt broke. dammit LOL. cheap crap.

 

Invest in a torque wrench, even a cheap-o will work well enough for most of us unless you really want to spend a few hundred on a Snap-off brand one...

 

when i was a tech i used matco tools, i think they are far superior to snap-on, except for the impacts and i used ingersol rand then!

 

All of the stock bolts have a taper on the end. I am unsure why, although I think in that case Mitsu knows best. I have done the dremel tool to back bolts out and it works well. Best of luck.

 

thx guys... I havent fixed her yet....my damn computer crashed last week so I had to spend some loot and time on that LOL. I have been driving it daily on 3 bolts ( aigh yaigh yaigh ) I havent encountered an issue with her yet. I will fix her very soon here. Everything seems to be breaking LOL. Bad luck LOL. CEL came on 2 days ago.....goes off after a while though.....hmm....its not pulley related. I thought it may have been a gascap issue. the weather here keeps going from 0 to -18. I am paying extremely close attention to the issue, I still have some warranty left on the powertrain so worst case scenario If she blows up ( LOL I know it wont ) Its fixed for free. ( uninstall pulley of course LOL )

 

i got my pulley on and it does have better throttle response and rev, nothing spectacular, sounds like mine is working fine!

 

Just installed mine today and I am very happy with it.

FYI I looked up the torque specs... 18+-3 ft/lbs or 216+-36 in/lbs.

 

Just installed mine today and I notice the rev response, but not so sure about the throttle response. Im not sure..seems like a lag? Everything is in place though...

I don't know but I feel as though with the stock pulley I was pulling harder, now with the rrm pulley not as hard. But I'll give the ECU a reset as I think its just the ECU learning the new mods even though the Pulley won't have much to do with the ecu..

I installed the CAI 2 days ago, then the pulley 2 days after..

Could this be it?

 

I can look up almost any torque spec for the RA. If I get ambitious, I could put together a list of torque specs.
