Originally posted by JayFReaZy my car idles anywhere between 150-300. hmm, hopefully this loss in alternator power isnt that much. I dont have a crazy system, just 1 sub 2 amps, no leds, or extra lighting. I havnt recieved yet mine either.
yes, of course i am, well 150 sometimes, not always, its usually at 300-500 MAX, def not at 1000. Its like at 1500 when i first start it up, after warming up, its at like 300-500rpm
Yeah, that's the normal range. As far as the pulley, you guys somehow expect parts to magically give you hp without affecting anything else. Anything that gives a noticable gain will affect the car in some way. Do you think a turbo car will last as long as stock? There are always tradeoffs you make when modding.
If you can't accept this, there is no reason to mod your car in the first place.
i'm not gunna go and get everyone's hopes up saying i felt a giant gain..but i do feel a noticeable gain starting from 3k rpms....nothing's for sure though...that's why i'll be going to the track next week! this is looking to be a good investment...but we (or i at least) i have to wait one more week to get some ACTUAL results... imp:
OH and i called up the shop today...the guy i talked to was the same jerk i talked to yesterday...he told me he didn't know the sizes of the belts..and he'd send an email to the tech who did my install....then he hung up on me...but yeah i'll be calling them back again on monday like he told me to...sorry guys
i'll try to get under the car later tonight or tomorrow...car is REALLY wet from the rain and hail...but i'll see if i can jack it up and get any pictures...and i'll check for any marks on the belts...i'll give you guys the product number later...its serpentine or something (the company that makes the belts)...but i don't have the receipt right now....i'll try to get it on later...
Originally posted by SLeePeRCIVICHopeful sadly it cost $180 which includes the labor and new belts....i still feel like i got jipped (sp?)...but its on now and that's all that matters to me...
Why was the install so pricy??I was quoted 60 bucks buy one shop and 40 bucks by another....Was that the original quote they gave you for the install?
...so the pictures won't be the greatest....
