Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Those with the AEM Alt. pulley...

I was just wondering how well they are working, as far as having problems. I want to get it, but I'm just afraid because of some of the stories I've heard, even though most of the problems I've heard of the owner put in the pulley themselves. I would have a shop do it.

i love my pulley had it profesionally done and works great...does rob you of power though from your alternator...so dont excpest to run a high end sound system or anything with out anout battery

i love it...doesn't harm anything...
what i want to do is take a stock GTS and drive it...hit lift...then observe the differences from mine to it.

Lol, I'd just like to hit lift What other mods do you have with the pulley?

I also have leds in my bumper lenses and in the headlights, these don't put any more strain on the alt. do they?

And the AEM Pulleys do not harm your car, its the UR pulleys that have a bad rep. They give you more gains, but at the expense of your engines life.

Cool, thanks Lost Angel! I'm putting the pulley back on my mod to do list!

I was thinking of getting a pulley.. but I am also going to be getting a very large system from my sponsor so I'm having doubts too I am gunna need at the power I can get.

Cannot one buy a better alternator to avoid losing energy needed for some thumpin?

I have them, and love them. Good mod i think.
