Did it in about 2 hours, taking my time. I actually made a friend during the install (guy came up and started talking to me), so I kinda too my time with the install and talked to him more than actually working on the car. I honestly had little idea what I was supposed to do when I started in on the install, and at a few points I was ready to give up. The 12mm bolts on the bottom of each tensioner pulley are a B!TCH to get to from the top of the engine bay. Eventually I got it all together, and best of all, no squeal on startup, just a tad bit of squeal on a uturn I made, any ideas on this? I highly recommend this mod, I feel a slight increase in power, and lots better idle/takeoff and better throttle response. Great product, and great DIY project for someone who isn't afraid to break into their motor. I imagine the pulley would be much easier to install onto a honda. And, before the tech wizards jump me for this
, the VQ35DE is internally balanced and does not require a harmonic balancer in the pulley.
PS: Get some mechanix gloves for this. My hands look like they've met a weed eater...
