I will get right on that tomorrow. Normally there is a PDF download for that on our site, but we will have to fix that.

Any other dealers I could order from?

Thanks in advance,

We have lots of dealers around. They most likely ordered them this week, then takes a week to get it,then a few days to deal with it. So it could be a couple weeks away before they get them. If Nextmod has a 22mm socket, breaker bar, pry bar and arms, they can install this. Its that easy.

Manual tranny cars have no problems. Put it in 6th gear, take the bolt off and in about 10minutes its installed. For auto customers, its a little trickier. You will need to lock down the flex plate. This is very easy using a pry bar in the port on the engine located on the top behind the intake manifold. This may take two people, but its makes it very simple on the FA and FB engines.

What's the recommended torque for that bolt? Loc-tite required?

Also, Kronos mentioned that the FR-S stock pulley is 1 lb heavier than the BRZ. Is that true?

[PERRIN_Jeff]

The TQ spec is ft-lbs and then an angle. So you tighten it to 14.8ft-lbs, then 90 degrees more beyond that. It ends up about 90ft-lbs.

Regarding the FR-S pulley being heavier. We have both cars sitting next to each other and looking over both of them, they look exactly the same. The OD, the ID, the thickness and pretty much everything I could measure appears to be the same. I didn't remove the FR-S part, but I would be surprised if it was different.

What size is the bolt?

Its just like an EJ engine bolt. I think M16, but about 4" long. I can get the exact info if necessary. If is regarding TQ spec, I hate to say, but we always TQ them to "Tight" or 100ft-lbs and never have problems.

Anyone install one of these on their car yet? I want to know if you could tell a difference. I don't have my BRZ yet, but I may go ahead and buy a pulley while they're on sale! I'd like to think that this would help offset drivetrain loss via the increase in rotational mass by putting on 18x8" wheels and tires that may be a little heavier than stock.

In process (literally) of doing my BRZ 6AT. I'll advise accordingly with Pix. Use the Company23 Subaru tool. Should make the job a snap for anyone!

Cool, can't wait for your pics of the install! Please also get a pic of the special tool! Is the tool expensive like other factory special tools??

EDIT: Is the tool even necessary for the pulley install on a 6MT?

I just left my dealership asking a few questions.. Apparently anything besides cosmetics, will void my warranty with Subaru. When I said I thought they have to prove with out a doubt any aftermarket part was the cause they said all Subaru has to do it prove you had that part on. :/ oh well, my Perrin pulley and HKS exhaust are still going on -.-

[xcelir8brz]

Installed. Company23 tool helped greatly. $50 shipped directly from web site. Took a little more than 30 minutes on the 6AT because I took pictures. Was 'VERY' easy in my opinion.

Top notch quality Perrin!

Here's the pix:

Nice thanks for the pics. Looks good in there.

[xcelir8brz]

Now for the test drive...

Regarding 'law', the dealer needs to 'prove' that the part caused issues with whatever malfunction to void the warranty. I've owned enough cars to know which dealers are good and what not and depending on the circumstance, having the tools to reverse the install is well worth it.
