Steeda UDP's 2001-2004 | Thread profile

I've been looking around at other bolt on parts that i can install myself and i was looking at the Steeda udp kit on american muscle. Its only 189 minus discount, and seems like its pretty easy to install. I was just wondering a few things about the part before i went ahead and bought it in the future. 1.) they say its balanced ...

rwhp... maybe 5-8, but the car feels like it revs alot smother through the rpm range, there worth it IMO...

Look at the SLP UDP's at slpshop.com. They look exactly the same as the Steeda's but they are on sale now for 120.00. The Steeda's have an SFI approved dampner. The cheaper one's are a piggyback style. I have heard they are worth 7-8 rwhp. BTW the Sonata's have 240HP. I drove one and they are no slouch. The Saab I have no idea. It could be turbocharged.

would you guys do the install in the driveway or just pay the shop like 50 bucks to do it?

Just be carefull with the pulley puller. Just keep everything nice and square. If you get crooked, back it off and start over. You don't want to strip anything or break a bolt in the crank.

This is NOT SIMPLE AT ALL if you have an automatic transmission. You need a heavy duty impact wrench and need to remove the radiator/fan. Otherwise, when you turn with a breaker bar you just turn the whole pulley.

I don't know how it can't be that easy? I have done several of these on both auto and 5 speed cars. I used and small 3/8 impact for the water pump pulley, and for the alternator, I used a regular impact gun. Make sure you are careful putting the alternator pulley back on (some kits come with spacers). Don't over tighten it. As SVT32VDOHC said, make sure the pulley ...
