I'm in!
Hey Nima
I hope you are using a different machine shop after the trouble you had in the last GB?
This may sound like a dumb question but can these pullies be used on a 3L Escape engine?

Aaron
Since you use the 2.5's power steering pump and the same alt off of your car..... yes I got a set from Nima, and have BARELY put them to use on my 3L.

Ah thanks for letting me know, I might have to pick up a set of these.

Aaron
What type of engines do the pullies work on?

Is that in US or CDN funds?
excuse my reatardation but what do these do in terms of effect on perfomrance?
ME IN (mond12345 from Neco and here)
I'm in. What is the difference between this and what SHO Shop sells? Or are you getting this from SHO Shop? Where is the info on this stuff?
These are better j/k

I am not exactly familiar with the ones that SHO shop sells but these are not them... Also I don't think SHO shop has alternator pulleys

Anyhow, its in US dollars and yes they will be anodized again Mark

Here is info on the pullies from the original GB

come on there has to be one more person out there?
since my y-pipe deal went through, i'm rather considering this..

what are the advantages of these and how much would the necessary belt be?
the advantages were listed before in the other group buy threads

you will extend the life of the power steering pump and alternator if you spend alot of time at high rpm, there could be a horse power gain, and you get to have them in a few different colors

would have to guess the belt is abot the same in cost as a normal belt, it is just a different size
Brian pretty much summed up the advantages...

I'll get the details worked out with the machine shop and start the GB...

yea sounds good, count me in for blue.
i'm in for red too
Originally posted by WHAT a WE.IN.ER:

same here, one set in red.
Alright everybody...
Its all been set expected delivery 4-5 weeks maybe even earlier... I just wanna be on the safe side with the time period...


I am gonna start collecting payments as everything is good to go...

You can paypal me at tribo99@hotmail.com BUT if your using a credit card to fund the paypal payment please add 2.9% and send it to benzedrine@sympatico.ca
Otherwise please use the first address

If you want to send a money order PM me and I will give you my addy to mail it to

Please include you complete shipping address along with the color you would like

As soon as I receive all the payments I will start it

Nima
so what is the final price here?
is it the $165 you originally posted?
i don't recall reading anything else about it.
Still the same price $165 shipped
Ready to pay but just want to make sure on the colors... I want red which i saw was in the old GB but for the rest of the people wanted different ones, whats the options???
Nima,
My price will be more as i need the belt also and shipping will be more to the UK.

Oh yeah is it ok to have blue ones ?
just let us know when you want payment and I will get that right to you

again I am looking to get the clear or polished finish
Color options are Black, Red, Blue, Gold (pimp), Purple, and Silver

Sooner would be better for the payments, as soon as they are in I will start it as I have to pay the shop 50% upfront

can we also get the belt with it?
Yes you can but it would be better if you get it through a local parts store since it'll just increase shipping costs... The belt number K060730 which is readly available in any parts store

The only reason Mark is getting it from me is that he couldn't find the belt in UK

roger. no belt for me

What belt is "K060730" like the company b/c i would want a gator back one like i have now so i need the sizes.
Its a Gates part number

I don't think there is a gatorback in that size

73 inch 6 rib belt
Payments Received:

Abwamo, RED



I'll add everyone as the payments come in
Make sure that I got the colors right for each person


as soon as i get my refund from the superchip, the money will be yours. (should be like 2-3 days)
I used a 72'5" belt on mine. Is the 73" a better fit?
72.5 will do the trick too... But its easier to install the 73 inch
Payments Received:

Abwamo, RED
brapple, SILVER

Waiting for the rest of the payments
One more question. I did re-read this thread for my answer with no luck!

Are the bolts included? Since im pretty sure the old ones are TTY...
No bolts included, I don't think they are TTY
I don't think they are tty either, doesn't make much sense in this case, had the water pump pully off in both my mystique and our windstar and reused the bolts without issue



come on people lets pay up so we can get our product
Payments Received:

Abwamo, RED

I paid
So how many people paid?? Did you get the order to the shop?? No rush here, just trying to get an update for all.
The order is in... I'll get an updated list of the people who paid by this evening...
if someone falls through on a silver set, I'd be willing to take their slot [money in hand]
so what's our status (just reviving it so noone forgets...)

who's paid besides me?
soooo, how's everyone doing around here? *AH-HEM*

(By now I beleive they should be all done or either waiting to be anodized but don't take my word as 100%)

Nima
very good, I need a heads up to let my parents know that they should be receiving a package for me at home ...

can't wait , but for now it has to go with the parts that are gathering for the spring
Update:
Just got a call back... I should have the pullies in my hands next week tuesday or wednesday
Now I need more people to buy the extra sets
Im sure theres some people on here and NECO that would buy some. Thanks for the update!
If you get stuck for buyers i will see if there is any interest over here if you like

Let me know what color you like
what colors are available...i'm thinking red or gold...golds kinda pimp..
Red, Silver, Blue, Black...

If you really want the gold I can probably get it done before being too late
soooooooooooooooooooo........
..any update
Called them today left message no call back...

I didn't get the chance to go in,(sorry) I left a message no reply again... I will be there tommorow just because they haven't replyed and that they should be done by now

Nima
Why cant people return phone calls WTF!
Update:

The P/S pullies are all done waiting to be anodized, they had problems with the material of the alternator pullies there are some made but not all done...
I was told the new material comes in on wednesday and then after the rest are done they all are anodized...

Sorry about this but I wish it was in my hands

Nima
Am I correct in saying that the Goodyear belt number 4060735 fits for both alt and P/S pullies as it says in the old GB? This is the gates part number right?
Thats correct unless you have a cougar with the updated front cover that uses a 83 inch belt
any new word?
Just got off the phone they are anodizing as we speak I will pick them up tommorow
And try to ship them all on wednesday

Wish i could afford this right now

Canadapost/USPS tracking and insurance provided
Update:

I picked up the pullies earlier this morning they look grea... I'll try to ship them all by later on this evening and let you all know the tracking numbers
Hey Nima
If you want you can combine shipping my pullies with the oil filter kit. Just a thought
Let me know if you want to do this and if you need any more $$$.
Mark, your filter kit isn't here yet but if you want me to ship them both together send me a PM


For the rest I couldn't get around packing and shipping them today (sorry) but I will pack them all tonight and ship them in the morning...
In the meantime I am gonna get my brother to take some nice pics of them

Originally posted by GI8U2racing:

yeah the tracking system isn't that great. from when I ordered things before it takes about 8 to 10 days to get to me in CT so depending on where you are it will be longer or shorter. Just hold on, if Nima said they are on the way then they are
Originally posted by GI8U2racing:

You need to use the Canada one than i guess when in its the US than you can use USPS.com.... Just my guess. As for mine the tracking says it was accepted on 2006/02/09 and thats it.
The tracking system is not all that great, but they can tell you the status on the package when you call 1-888-550-6333 (this is the number for Canadapost)
Hey Nima did mine get out today?
-tropictour
Yup!! Dropped it off at the post office this evening
I'll PM you the tracking number in the morning (left the paperwork in the car)

BTW if anyone is looking for a set of the pullies I got plenty of extras

you know,i've kinda been curious how these will work with the underdive pulley? combined with the other pulleys is it going to underdrive the alt and p/s too much,and not charge properly?

as said before the tracking system isn't good. You will get your item, this is the third time I have ordered parts from Nima and they always came. It seems that the tracking number doesn't like converting over to the USPS side of things. As Nima suggested call about the package to get an answer.
I'm not worried about getting them, I was just saying that it was still there. I'm sure it'll get here when it gets here.

I wish, was to cold to be outside working on cars this weekend. that is the alternator I took out of my car because the case split open, at this point it is useless because it froze up completely

Originally posted by mond12345:

because it is. think of highschool physics class, or maybe middle school. if you are spinning on a chair with weights in your hands when you strech your arms out you spin slowly and when you pull the weight close to your body you will speed up.

so it is the same here, you make the pulley larger, based on a point on the edge, or where the belt sits, it takes longer for it to make one full turn over the stock pulley. this will in effect slow the accessory down, or underdrive it when compaired to stock
Originally posted by tour96se:

...thats why i'm wondering how these will work with a unorthodox racing underdrive pulley...i dont understand how they wont off set eachother?




I think that the effect will be addative if you think about it. you put on an underdriven crank pulley you are in effect speeding up the belt roation, you have pulled the weight closer to you. this in effect makes it seem like the accessory pullies have gotten large then stock and the crank pulley has remained the same, just as these pullies will be doing.

So if you put them together I think that the effect will be increased.

hope that helps
yay, got mine in today. Only a little bit of scratches from bumping around but otherwise very nice pieces. I can't believe how light they are. Money well spent it seems.

Thanks Nima
Glad that you received it!

How badly is it scratched? I thought the paper I used to seperate them would of been good enough?
not enough that I care about it. It's just from getting rattled around. I was just blabbing really and leftover frustration from dealing with Bank of America today.
No worries.
is it normal for my tracking number not to be found?
If you're using it on USPS's system, yes. The numbers don't cross reference from what I understand.
The tracking system is pretty slow and not accurate give it a bit... If you want to find out where it is exactly you can call the number i posted in this thread
I have not recieved mine yet. And when I try calling the 1-888 number it tells me that they cannot process this call because of the area Im calling from?

I know belt sizes have been discussed ad-nausium. but I havent found any mention for the pullies without the AC pully. Anyone know what belt size I would need?

Nope, but I know how you can figure it out...

-Belt w/out underdrive but with A/C
-Belt with underdrive with A/C
-Find the difference in size

Just take that difference from what you have now and hopefully it will be the right size...
Much easier and 100% fool proof ... use a piece of string

yes I was fully aware of the methods of doing this. I was just hoping some one knew off hand so I could have the belt in hand before I installed the pullies.

Oh well, I guess I can only think of a complicated solution. Time to switch career paths and become an engineer - for Ford.
Anyone have an average of how long it took to get their pullies? Still havent got mine and Im getting ansy.

same day for me
You guys will have them soon...
I have the belt size for alt and p/s...friday I will be able to post the size...
Paid
I got mine installed last weekend. I did a lot that weekend so I can't say what the pullies individually did. They aren't very easy to install, because we took out the alternator to do it, i saw no other way. P/S is easy though, took 15 mins to do that one. Alternator had to come out anyway for MSDS headers supposedly anyway though, so it seemed like minimal trouble. As for the belt, I used a Dayco 5060735 and it barely reached, I wouldn't go any smaller. Check out my CougarDB site for pictures.
i got mine today!!! sooooooo pretty....do you really have to take the altenator out???
There's stuff in the way as far as I could tell, so my answer is yes, the alt's gotta come out. Once we figured it out, it wasn't tough to get out and reinstalled.
well the alternator pulley is pressed on so you would need to get a puller in there, I think if you get the tie rod out of the way there might be enough space ...
My alt pulley just came off once I took off the nut on it?!
It helps to have the alt out but from my experience it wasn't necessary, just need an impact to loosen the nut on the alt unless I have a speacial edition alternator with the pulley not pressed on?
So did anyone figure out the corect belt size?

Sweet thanks man. I thought that was the belt size but wasnt sure. I think I'll cross it for a Goodyear Gatorback since we sell GY at work.

You can even go with a K060735
