Product Details: Install a GFB light-weight under-drive pulley kit and
get better throttle response and more power!
How do they do this?
1. Less weight - GFB's pulleys are manufactured on the latest Multi-Axis CNC
machines from the highest grade 6061-T6 aluminium billet, making them immensely
lighter than their factory steel counterparts. This lower weight yields a large
reuction in the rotating inertia of the belt train, allowing the engine to
accelerate faster. The effect is similar to fitting a lightened flywheel and is
particularly noticeable in the lower RPM range before the turbo spools up. This
is because the power required to accelerate a heavy pulley accounts for a much
greater proportion of the available power at low RPM.
2. Under-driving - Additional power increases also come from making the crank
pulley smaller, thereby slowing down the accessories and reducing the driven
load (particularly at high RPM), without affecting their operation.
Fits:
Subaru WRX MY94-96
-2001 and 2003 kits include the required shorter belts. 2009
is the same diameter as factory and therefore uses the original belts.
MY97-98 WRX and Version 3-4 STi
-2001 and 2003 kits include the required shorter belts. 2009
is the same diameter as factory and therefore uses the original belts.
MY99-00 WRX and Version 5-6 STi
-2001 and 2003 kits include the required shorter belts. 2009
is the same diameter as factory and therefore uses the original belts.
MY01-02 (MY02-03 in the U.S.) WRX and STi ("bugeye")
-Note that the power steering pulley is not removable in this
model, hence only the 2001 two-pulley (crank and alternator) kit fits. 2001 kit
includes the required shorter belts. 2009 is the same diameter as factory and
therefore uses the original belts.
MY03-current (MY04-current in the U.S.) WRX and STi
-2001 and 2003 kits include the required shorter belts. 2009
is the same diameter as factory and therefore uses the original belts.
Subaru Forester GT (MY98 - 00)
-2001 and 2201 kits include the required shorter belts. 2009
is the same diameter as factory and therefore uses the original belts.

-2001 and 2201 kits include the required shorter belts. 2009
is the same diameter as factory and therefore uses the original belts.
