Perrin Pulley Feedback & Surprise side effect - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

altezza280t · 07-15-2013, 01:58 AM

So i decided to install my perrin light weight pulley today. and everything thing went well simple install great product and my better response from the engine.

car shifts and drives smother revs much happier too. very satisfied.

On a side note. my crickets went away....

I've had my car almost 2 months now with just under 6000 KMs I didnt get the cricket noise will after my first track day with the car a few weeks ago. I was gonna bring it back to Toyota before reading up its not a real fix even if they swap fuel pumps so i just let it be.

funny thing is after i installed the pulley the crickets are gone now. Did a full night of diving and hasnt come back yet. Weird dont know if its just a fluke or maye they will come back later.

Any one else have similar experience?

pros: lightweight, sounds really aggressive and nice...

cons: single exit tip

also, they will come back. I still have them after 28,231 miles.

Single exit tip?

He does not mean the Buddy Club catback exhaust system, hes talking about the Buddy Club Pulley Kit, i personally cant comment on this kit have yet to hear anyone use it but I know Buddy Club has been around for a while and there products are quality.

I've had a Perrin pulley for months now and I assure you it has nothing to do with the crickets. They will be back if you fill up at a station that contains ethanol. The only thing the pulley did was increase the throttle response and RPM drop from being lighter.

Just installed mine today along with my mishimoto catch can. It's funny that one of the threads out there were showing a video of their pulley wobbling.

Ethanol free gas seems to work....i don't have them and neither does my friend.

Worth a try...could just be coincidence
