Pulley install on Automatic Trans car

Linh and I did a pulley install on an automatic car and it wasn't too much harder. To keep the motor from spinning there's a rubber plug under bell housing that you pull off, slip something thick in there to keep it from rotating and we were able to torque the pulley to 200 ft-lbs torque. If anyone needs a pulley install done in So Cal, he'll do it for $50.

Here's a pic of the hole. This is between the engine and tranmission so you'll have to remove the plastic belly pan behind the one for the engine to expose this.

If you don't like that design then ask Lee about sending in your factory pulley and he'll add a ring for you like Renntech. For the steel hub transplant he removes the alluminum hub, presses in a steel hub in it's place and then screws a half dozen flush mount screws to further secure it, looked solid to me or I woudn't have put it on. Screws can't back out because the washers are in the way.

Evosport sells a pulley kit for the C240/C320 motors. People have done dynos where it pulls in an extra 12HP in the midrange, where you need it most on the C240. Last time I checked it was just under $500 for the set. They can install them for you in their Huntington Beach garage called Sho Shop, ask for Vadim, nice knowledgable guy. Their number is 714-894-8415.
