I'm interested. Does it come with the oil and/or installation instructions?

No you would have to purchase the oil but its easy to source amazon or some other means. Since this was installed at some point no extra oil. I have used the ac delco oil in my exige before looks like the kit came with 2 bottles.

MWR Pulley kit is a thread i found that has some steps called out. It is pretty straight forward though to remove the old, install the new just some bolts, rtv, belt, fluid.

I can check if i have any formal instructions but don't believe so.

Thanks

Does it come with / need a tighter belt or use the stock one?

Can use the stock belt with the smaller change. I think stock size pulley is 69mm. Should still be plenty of tension.

Price drop, still available

I've read up on this a bit. Is it the case that there's no tune available for this? I "think" i read that it's not small enough to warrant a new tune but I can't believe that's true.

From what I've read, that's what they claim. Getting it tuned afterwards would obviously be safest. Could be that the increase in boost is within the factory programming tolerances to be able to compensate.

That is my understanding. If your car runs as rich as mine then I would believe it also!

The prior owner ran it with a meth kit just for cooling but didn't have a specific tune on the car.

I'm interested but also rear it runs lean at 4000-5000 which doesn't seem like a good plan on a track.

Yeah No Pressure. I didn't do a lot of research on it just that it came with the car and I didn't have a desire to run it. It makes sense that without tuning the car would be leaner in spots but without seeing the AFR hard to say if its good or bad for the track. If stock pully in that 4-5k range is pushing 11-11.5 and with the pulley its like 11.8-12.1 I personally would be ok with that but any leaner yeah pushing it. (Just throwing out hypothetical numbers)

If you are on the fence, and track your car and don't want to go down the path of monitoring AFR/getting tune/addressing cooling I would just think it better to skip it. Might not be worth it for a small gain. If you were going to buy it and put an even smaller pulley on for a bigger power bump then maybe.

Bump, drop in price.
