etec-II underdrive pulley development

[bdc87]

Oh ok thanks for all the info guys. much appreciated. So will it give u like a half a gallon to a gallon more per mile? on the economic side of the pulley

In theory it should because of the reduce pull, however in real-world experience you might see it drop by 1-2mpg as you might tend to feed the pedal more and you'll want to. To counteract this you'll have press less on the accelerator to keep the rpm change the same as before but, what would be the point of the pulley?

I've never seen anyone quantify any fuel economy gain from a pulley change. People do this for the acceleration/power, not generally to save gas. My guess is it probably wouldn't pay for itself over any reasonable amount of time (if that's your goal).

Na i can pay gas that isnt a problem... i just want to get alittle more power outa my automatic tranny

im in 10000000000% of any cheap parts you guys can make, ill buy anything

[reddemonx92]

So wut is gonna be the price of this when you guys finish developing it?

[thehunterooo]

should not be too much, maybe 150 or so, i will buy it anyways

[serega12]

I think they said the price will depend on how many people will be getting it. More people = lower price.

how many people do we have so far? Should have a list on the front page maybe

[serega12]

Or maybe add a poll at the beginning of the thread (this one or a new one) with options like "yes", "no", and "considering" or something... just an idea.

Looks like 5 are interested. 3 more are semi-interested.

Updating the first page is a good idea.

If anyone else is interested and doesn't find their name below please let me know. This is by no means a commitment, its just so I get an idea of how many people are interested. The current list is:
