what have been some of the results you have seen after all of you have installed the new crank pulley??

 

You will see much better throttle response (rev quicker) and increased gas mileage.

ROAD/RACE

 

this may be my next mod, so for someone with basic mechanical knowledge and your basic $50 tool set, will the install go smoothly you think?

 

btw i can go buy some extra tools like the breaker bar

 

The breaker bar and 6 point impact socket will be your friend. I haved not done it on the lancer I have done it on other vehicles. If the bolt is threaded in standard and the pulley rotates clockwise you should be able to brace the breaker bar against the ground, turn the car over once or twice and that should get it loose with no issues.
I would recomend pinching the fuel line or pulling the plugs so the engine does not start or you will have a whole mess of problems.
Impact wrench will get the job done too if you have one available, and you can get to the bolt.

 

yeah i gots no idea of what an impact wrench is.


maybe i should go with something simple like a front strut bar, lol

 

It is a type of air tool. Some are electric.

 

You pretty much need an impact wrench if you have an automatic tranny. There is no way to keep the crank from turning when you just use a breaker bar.

 

i have a manual tranny.


my neighbor is a tranny too.

 

HAHA!

 

Any one else notice any difference in the way there car drive once they installed RRM light weight crank pulley..?

 

You will notice a differance. Not a huge one but its very noticable. I love mine.

 

best bang for the buck.

ROAD/RACE

 

I agree^. The car revs quicker and it pulls bit harder in lower rpms. BUY IT!!!!

 

dont really, do you?
i was able to hold the belt to stop the pulley from spinning while it was tightened with a torque wrench to the appropriate tension...
