    Great info Qrush. Its good to hear that things are nearing an end!

    I also really like the idea of a bit quicker revving 3A92...

    I do think we really need some pics though!

    Thank you Qruch! That does not sound bad at all. I'm ready for mine. If you wouldn't mind, could you tell if the mpg went up any? And did you get the alternator pulley off with an impact as well? One more, when you took the crankshaft bolt off, how easy was the pulley to slide off? Thanks buddy!

    I wont know about the MPG until I get a better run on Friday. The alternator came off easy with an impact gun and holding the pulley with a rag and channel lock pliers. The crank bolt came right off and the pulley was removed very easily, without any fuss.

    Sounds good Qrush. Thanks again.
    I'm ready for the pulleys. I work as a Mechanic at a Toyota Dealership so those should be easy to put on. Lol.

    The install was surprisingly easy. It was really all about about getting access to the crank bolt. Once in position, the bolt comes right out and the pulley follows suit. I have notified NST of my "test" results. I assume they will be making a statement and sending out the pulleys to our paying members, very soon.

    The "test" pulleys were red. I ordered gold, which will be shipped to me later. Leaving me with an extra set, which I will sell at a discount later.

    Super exciting! I was looking at my bay earlier thinking about the best course of action for the crank pulley, I'm glad to hear it's as easy as removing the wheel and liner. Were the other pulleys just as easy to swap out?
