Ah, well accessory power should just be engine speed dependent (well, I guess it depends on how much electrical power you're using too), so underdrive pulleys should be getting gains in all gears.

I won't jump the gun but please keep up the work!
I'm more paranoid about keeping the full warranty in case of anything goes odd with the entirely new platform ~
I'd expect this to be good for both First AND Second gears ~

I just remembered my friend's GM8 (coupe Impreza w swapped JDM wrx engine) & when he installed both lightweight pulley & flywheel, it gave him misfire, so that's why I asked.

I bet he used an early ECU (02-04) where the misfire detection parameters are way too sensitive. If this does become a problem, ECU tuning will take care of the sensitivity and gone will be those concerns.

Warranty on a new car is important. Always keep in mind that the dealer HAS to prove the aftermarket part caused the problem. Also keep in mind that a crank pulley can't void your whole cars warranty. Same goes for exhaust systems, and all those kinds of parts. Worst case scenario they can only void the warranty of the parts they effect. This is why catbacks and most exhaust components do not effect warranty at all.

Damn! You're dead on! I'm not sure what he do to solve the problem, but he doesn't have any problem anymore.

Anyways on-topic Please keep us updated on awesome parts you guys are making!

Who sells perrin parts in the province of quebec? Ups charges an arm and a leg in duties when shipping over the border unless the shipper tags it as a gift

This is partially why it this part is so popular on the WRX/STI engines. Its noticeable, inexpensive, and a piece of cake to install (on a manual).

I had it on my WRX and it was noticeable. That's why I want it on my BRZ. However, I need to know if I should get another belt or if the original one can be removed in tact.

Original belt is used. Remember how easy it was on your WRX? Cut that in half, that is how much easier it is on this car. The new belt tensioner is sooooo easy to deal with!

[milenko11]

my '11 did not have the tensioner. I didn't notice the BRZ did! Good news. I'll be ordering a pulley shortly!

[Silverdub]

I just called perry auto and ordered the part!

[xcelir8brz]

Perrin - I ordered one as well and it's on it's way. I have a 6AT. Mind posting the instructions here?

Hi Perrin,

I live in Toronto and saw "Nextmod" as the local dealer. Do you know how reputable this place is and if they can do a good job installing the pulley?

Would this work on my automatic?

Any other dealers I could order from?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
