Here is the link to the RPW Pulley... http://www.rpw.com.au/shop/index.php...emart&Itemid=1

 

my point exactly, i heard lots of bad thing and good things about the pulley. Is it really that bad? People who said they throw your car off balance, have you tried it and experienced it yourself or are you just saying it cause you hate rrm. No offense, i thank all of you guys who are helping me and others choose their mods. But i just wanted to hear from people who bought the rrm pulley. To the person who said why waste money, well, cause its a hobby.

 

False. The difference between the 09 and the 10 is the FED/PZEV engines. 09 gets the 168hp while the 10 gets 161hp.

 

that is soooooooooooooooo annoying to know. SAD FACE

 

When you say "it will get more noise & vibration after installing it, however, since it's not harmonically dampened like the OEM pulley," can you explain a little more? Does the pulley cause the vehicle to sound abnormal, clicky, or some other unusual noise? I wish I could witness what your talking about. I don't know anyone in my area that owns a Lancer with the Pulley from RRM. How can vibration be a good thing? I appreciate your feedback.

 

Ive only read of 1 person who had problems with the rrm pulley. The rpw does look good too though.

Be careful with your daily driver...especially if you still owe on it.

Also, one of the best ways to make your car faster is light wheels and good tires. You could easily drop 5 lbs a corner, which will help acceleration, braking, ride quality, fuel mileage...pretty much everything about how your car drives. It's the fastest way to transform the character of your car.

Be careful with lowering springs...often times you will not have much suspension travel left for bumps, which can damage the shocks and wreak havoc on your handling. Also, the higher spring rates tend to accelerate wear on your shocks.

Last, big power + CVT = new transmission (sooner or later).

 

UPDATE:

I have calmed myself down and no i wont be getting the turbo.
but this is what i got so far:

Greddy se
Works p1 flash
RRM pulley
Injen Sri


Future:

Rims (enkei EKM3, not sure what color. What do you guys think will look better on a apex silver, gun metal or satin silver?)
Seibon Oem evo hood.
Angel Eyes
Lowering the car with sportsline this week end.
Also talked to the folks at works and currently on the beta wait list to test out the cams for 4b12.

After installing these P Mods, the gts seriously feels awesome. In sports mode i have a lot a lot of fun around curvy mountain roads. My friends SI has a very hard time keeping up with my "NEW" lancer.

Once again, thanks yall for all the help.

ps. the rrm pulley is fine, i talked to rrm and they told me there wont be any problem at all. the reason errbody is skerred is because of one or two cases of oil leak that happened 3 years ago. Anyways, i find it fine even though im not a big rrm fan, but this pulley looked great and works like charm.

Happy pre Valentines day, dont spend too much time on the car, spend some time with yah wives or try to get laid. Peace

 

Those are nice looking wheels! My vote is for silver (gunmetal on the top, silver on the bottom).

pulley is not going to help a bit i installed it on my lancer and nothing , ill say get a cai , or buy a plastic hose and run it from the foglight hole to the sri to get colder air , coilover are a beauty , very nice (got them ) worth the money believe, as for the turbo rrm is nice but expensive , look around and read as much as u can before wasting money believe me i have the car since 07 and theres some stuff that i regret buying also (my recomendation) is get straigh with ur self and see what u want to do , performance mods (lotz of fun) or looks , is really hard to go both ways , in my case i started with looks and now i turned to performance and i feel so much happy this way , but if u go both ways( unless u had the green) it wil be a long road .... btw welcome brothe enjoy ur lancer

 

that was what i was thinking a year ago, now my car is totally different from what i thought it could be a year ago. coil is a beauty but just gonna wait till my shocks blow on my sportline springs. rrm turbo is a joke on cvt at least, not reliable i know. not a fan of cai, very rainy here and i dont wana spend more to get a hydro shield. sri is good enough for dd. handling is my next goal. read the post above you, i updated my list ;D

 

I don't know if anyones said this but you can't turbocharge the CVT transmission. you can turbo the manuel but rrm tried to make a turbo for the cvt and the transmission just can't handle it. I emailed one of the guys from RRM just this week wondering if they had a turbo CVT. this was his response.

"As for turbo, we have done a CVT one but the transmission will not take the power on CVt. Only way it has worked is running very low boost so if you want a running kit for show or a low power boost it will work but I would stick to all of our N/A stuff if you really want to drive hard. IT all works great too. Thanks RRM"

 

Should have gone with the RPW pulley, much better product than RRM.
