I did this install about a year ago, my boy made a DIY out of it, it's decent, should help you out a little. http://www.desertshark.2ya.com/ Scroll down and click on Mike's Tiburon, then click on DIY Guide, then 97-01 Tiburon Pulley Install. This should make it a little easier, hopefully.

 

Looks perty good Guffy.

I'm wonderin, what's the brand name of the pulleys? Did it all come in one box? How many pulleys for how much? And it CAME with the belts?

 

I tried to buy mine... but my card doesnt want to.............lol

OBX??... is it a good page?.... make sure you post the better things when you got install your pulley..... I want to buy that one too....

 

Most aftermarket crank pullys weigh around 0.5lbs. so weight will not be a factor..as far as diameter, that's a different story but I honestly don't know if there is any sizable difference between OBX and other brands

 

Thanks, that write up is missing a few minor things im sure, one of these days i'll fix it up and do it Redz style mayn, haha. The pulleys are GIM racing and I ordered them from, believe it or not, sharkracing, haha. Surprisingly the 2 times i've ordered from there I haven't had any problems, I wont hold my breath though. Three seperate boxes for the pulleys, I have the boxes in my garage...I think, i'm not sure I just moved like 20 minutes down the road. It was $240 altogether, or you can just buy the water and power pulley for $140 if you already have the crank pulley. And yes it came with the belts, you only get the belts if you order the crank pulley though. The power steering belt is the same as stock but the other two change because of the smaller pulleys. Pretty easy install overall, just time consuming.

 

this is the best thing I have saw so far guff mad props bro..... i plan on getting a set of pulleys and dynoing all... Chris

 

Ok, so today i finally have the time to do this and all the materials. i took the wheel and tire shroud off and have been trying to take the crank bolt off with no luck. it just wont go, weve been using a real heavy duty ratchet and both me and my father have been giving it all we got with no luck. We have a air wrench but it doesnt seem to even come close at 120psi (thats the most my compressor will give me) ive been spraying it with WD-40 but with no luck. my dad said we could try heating it but i was hoping somebody may have some additional advise... do we just need more torque? my car is on jack stands so quick responses will be greatly appreciated laugh.gif

 

I know alot of people are against doing what I'm about to suggest, but try using a breaker bar, wedge it so it can't move and blip the motor. It's a tad risky (I used it and it got it off with no problem) but it might just work for you. BTW, I had the same problem you did.

 

ok so i just tried it and it seemed like it would work if my battery wasnt almost dead lol, i had the radio playing for a long time while i washed it and while i was doing this stuff so eventually it died hehe, woops. so i am charging it and we'll give it another shot when shes got some cranking amps to get her off. ill keep u updated... thanks for the help btw...

 

You gonna put the braker bar on the bolt while you are starting the car??? OMG! Please don't kill yourself!
