QUOTE (Teutonic Speedracer @ Dec 16 2004, 01:58 PM) QUOTE (ERVRCG @ Dec 16 2004, 01:27 PM) The reason for the pulley was that ASA cars were breaking the plastic pulley. For most people it doesn't matter. For the "real" racers it certainly is helpful. I can leave the whole powersteering system in tact when working on the engine. It's nice to have access to the bolts with out having to remove the stock pulley. It also saves me the time to go find the puller in the toolbox and the time to remove/install the pulley. The plastic is also such a nice looking piece. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) We have also warped our plastic pulley, can you get a replacement pulley for $40, a pulley of know history...not junk? ERV I knew it was for the ASA guys, but they run at 6000+ rpm all the time, not our 3000-6500rpm. I guess having access to bolts is a good idea. I don't care about the looks and I haven't warped mine yet (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) it in ~20 track days. You make some good points though!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) It took about 2500 race miles and two pumps before the warp. We run the ASA motor and try to keep the rpms above 4200rpm. Like you said, I wouldn't expect anyone to have these problems. ERV |

Can anyone confirm if these are ESP legal? I need a new pump due to bearing failure, and I only got 40K on the car. Seems to me if I can find one that will last longer and run cooler that would be a total bonus to durability, but not much gain in performance.

The last time I checked, they are not ESP legal. (That's why Pimpmaro is in SM/SM2).

Yup, they are not ESP legal. I love my Turn One pump however. And you can also get it in standard fittings or -6 AN fittings if need be.

Damn, that means I'll have to go thru all that work of replacing my pump just to put on another POS stock pump. Oh well, thanks guys.

Just take the TO sticker off and use the stock pully and it will look like the factory piece. No-one will ever know and there is no real performance advantage.(~2hp) |

Another thing to consider:
$295 for an OEM replacement from local dealer $225 from Turn 1. I wonder what I should do. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

Well, I just installed a Turn One, and left the sticker on as a weanie detector. Since underdrive pulleys are legal, and will probably free up just as much power, only an idiot would protest
It was worth it to get the preinstalled pulley just to be able to use the "pimpmaro" method of pulley removal. There isn't much room to work in front of the pump, so using a flat steel wonderbar to shatter the stock pulley saved a LOT of time. It only took about two seconds (mostly to just position the bar) and one tug. I was surprised by how brittle the pulley turned out to be. The bolt access (should I ever need it) is just a bonus. By the way, there's a great write up on pimpmaro's page. However, he has the AN version, so one crucial detail is missing. You will need a 16mm flare nut wrench. I only had 15 and 17 and didn't have time to run out to buy a wrench. I had to cut open one of my good closed-end wrenches because I didn't think far enough ahead (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) This post has been edited by sgarnett: Oct 31 2005, 01:27 AM |

That's what my grandfather used to call a precision carburator adjustment tool.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Well, ok, so you also supplied the training in the arts of the kung fu hammer. I'm really sorry about the missing detail regarding the flare wrench. I kinda threw that together on the quick and I've been screwing around with the new site for awhile now... I've just been too swamped between work and school to get anywhere on it. Maybe over Christmas break? |

No apology needed. I blasted ahead, secure in the knowledge that I had a set of metric flare nut wrenches. Yep, had both 15 and 17, just no 16. I should have checked BEFORE I made the run to the store for other stuff.
I was actually unable to find a way to use the hammer. My big crowbar wouldn't fit past the tank, so I switched to my flat nail pulling bar ("wonder" or "gorilla" I think") and the light test pull was enough to shatter the pulley. |

Trackbird's large craftsman pry bar worked perfectly. I used the small "casting nub" just above the shaft right between the pump and the pulley. A good tug and the pulley blew apart.

The "Six Million Dollar Man" started out with "We can rebuild him (it?)".....
Well, I can smash it or otherwise destroy it..... Yin/Yang, all is right with the natural forces of the world. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
