How much HP do you gain with an underdrive pulley on a stock engine?
3-5 HP?
Are they easy to install?
Got an AEM one yesterday for a good deal.

Mine was easy to install after I got the damn bolt off. :blink:
The engine reved faster, more response but I dont think it added any top end power.

I don't know about "real" numbers, but my 50% crank UDP definitely added a lot more responsiveness to the SPI, cleaned up the midrange doldrums and got me back on the high side of 40 MPG on the highway.

If your ever going to s/c your engine this is a waste, just an fyi.... I had a udp, and now I have an overdrive pulley :P
10-07-2006, 03:41 AM
Yeah it comes with it's own belt, so I'm set in that regard.
Gas savings is a great way to justify a purchase to the wife!!

No supercharging for me. Only so much I can do in my apartment's poorly lit outdoor parking lot.

I know what you mean I tell my GF that this part will give me better gas mileage, and she is happy i'm buying it.
Wonder if I can get away with saying that the turbo kit I want will double fuel economy. :P

Do you get the belt as well? coz the stock belt won't do.
the biggest adv of having a UPD is you won't get performance hit when A/C is on, and maybe rev a bit faster. That's about it.
yes it is easy to install, IF you can get the bolt off.

You sure that your AEM unit is a CRANK pulley? Most of them are only alternator pulleys, which are a PITA to install, and don't do squat.

Its funny how all you guys had big problems taking off your crank pulley. I never did to tell you the truth lol. Maybe because my car had an UDP slapped on it before it even hit its first oil change :lol:

12-30-2006, 06:03 AM
