I was surfing and found this and it looks EXACTLY like the one someone used for the Tech section and it was branded as ZPI where I looked on Agency Power's site and it has the same design. What's the deal???

ZPI has 2 versions of the pulley. the 2nd version is different, but the first one i believe was either the same pulley or the same design as the Angecy Power pulley

Hmm, I think I will order it from that site, it's pretty cheap!! And it must work the same. Is this the 2nd version?

get NST man

20tCDude05

Where's the NST stuff, I haven't seen any of them. I know there's like 3 pulleys, but they are underdrives, which I would have to get a belt right? What's the HP and torque gains?

Yo Dave, ZPI only has one pulley. They USE to have the first pulley mentioned, but the quality control was not the best, so they designed their own version.

Which happens to be lighter than the NST by the way (dyno proven to producing 11whp and 18ftlbs of tq)....



No it's not.

better then the first....

id still go NST

Well, I'm on a budget and I hear that if you get NST, you'll have to get a smaller belt AND it messes up the balance as it's smaller.

If you are on a budget then you should definitely go NST, get their crank pulley for $99 and pick up a belt from AutoZone for about $10. You STILL come out cheaper than the alternatives. You also get a perfectly built pulley, it comes annodized at no extra charge, and gives you better bang per buck than the competition. What more could you ask for?

One other thing, the size has nothing to do with the balance or harmonics. The ongoing debate of internet scientists is that the removal of a small rubber piece called a "harmonic dampner" will eventually result in catastrophic engine failure after some hundred thousand miles of use. If their claims are true then either the ZPI, NST, Unorthodox or any of the other similar pulleys will do the same thing to our motors.

Do a quick search on these forums and you will find many many people who have been running NST pulleys for a long time with no problems. And you will find ZERO people who have had problems thus far!

As I said, it messes up the balance if you run a smaller crank... Or so I've heard many times.
