It is fairly straight forward:
Disconnect the Positive terminal on the battery.
Remove the Stock airbox.
Slightly loosen the bolts on the main drive pulley and water pump pulley.
Loosen the belts by loosening the bolt above the alternator. This is next to the strut brace.
Easiest way to get the nut off of the alternator pulley is to use an impact wrench and a quick trigger pull as it comes off really easy.
Swap out the pulleys making sure the shaft position sensor ring (ring with teeth on it) gets put back on before the main drive pulley.
Tighten down the bolts as best as you can before adding the belts. Do not use a vise grip on the edge of the pulleys to hold them in place it will mar them up...
A quick tap on the impact wrench without holding the alternator pulley will tighten it up easily. Be careful not to apply too much pressure as the pulley could crack if it is applied brutally.
Add the belts and add tension by pulling up on the alternator and tightening the nut that was loosened earlier above the alternator.
The belt tension can be checked by twisting the belt. It should not be able to twist 90 degrees.
Once all the bolts are tightened, check them all again
Reinstall the airbox and reconnect the positive cable on the battery.
Turn the car to the run position and tap the brakes 20 times very quickly or until the oil pressure does the sweep.
Go through the standard recallibration for the DCS steering wheel to the left and then the right.
Turn the key off.
Turn back on and start the car.
There shouldn't be any warning lights on after starting the car.
Turn the car off and check all bolts and belts again.
The recommendation from Unorthodox Racing is to take it easy driving for a week this will give the car time to learn the new changes and will get the most benefit out of them. (shifting by 3000 RPMs)
