Agency Power Pulleys?
Found these on mazdaparts.com and was wondering if anyone had experience with them?
http://www.mazdaparts.com/ProductDet...000-1151625320 160 bucks is pretty cheap for a claimed 9hp. The only current modification that I have to my 8 is a catback Racing Beat exhaust. Also, if anyone has experience what potential shortfalls do these have on the car? -Uni |
A/C won't be as strong. I have one used I'll sell to you though, a lot cheaper than that. I suggest you buy a used pulley, they don't break over time...
|
is there a huge difference with the ac? I tend not to fair well in the hot weather.
|
not very much, I counter attacked the lack of A/C by buying Racing Beat's ECU modification. It keeps both fans on, so your A/C will always run a couple of degree's cooler. In all reality, the only time you'll notice a weak A/C is when you are idling.

I've had my AP pulley for a couple years now and never had problems with the A/C.
I live in the North-East area of the country so maybe that plays a factor. I'm sure there is a difference while running when its 100+ degrees outside, but where I live it gets in the 90s (but not for long) and I still feel comfortably cool. |
thx for the info.

ha, howd you do that?

You can get the AP pulley for cheaper elsewhere, got mine for $126 brand new
It's not "Pulleys" tho, it's Pulley, since it's only one pulley. The AP pulley is a lot lighter than the stock crank pulley, and it's one piece. I haven't had any problems with mine yet, I did get a CEL (Misfire) the first time I whomped on the car with pulley on and it felt pretty good, but now I'm used to it. I also live in Phoenix, and I have had the pulley on during the summer when its been over 120 outside, and the A/C is still cold. My A/C has always sucked tho, so I just check the system pressure every now and then and charge the system nearly the point of overcharging it and it blows ice cold, even with the pulley. I also haven't had any issues with less voltage recharging my battery. For under $130, it's a great deal. |
misfire? how did you manage that?
|
i have an ap pulley and i have no problems with my ac. Matter of fact i can't say that it adds any horsepower at all, but it sure does weigh alot less than the stock pulley thats for sure

I actually just bought the unidentified blue pulleys when you search on ebay
Stock alt. and water pump pulley weight is a combined 1.3-1.4 pounds, the blue after market thing is .7 pounds just the pulleys... Waiting on the combined weight though with the bolts... |
