Perhaps he is inquiring about putting the Perrin drop-in filter and wants to know if there is an issue installing it with the secondary filter?

ok so does removing it get more mpg's or anything? It can't just be a useless part.

It would probably improve airflow a bit and improve MPGs by a miniscule amount though.

I just got the grimmspeed pulley removal tool today, it doesn't quite fit on the stock pulley. You can get two bolts into the pulley but not the rest. It should however be enough to remove it. Hopefully I'll be able to put in the perrin on Monday on my day off

I am interested in this part but could you please give us the weight of the new vs the old part so that we can have something to compare to. (helps to use the same scale) If its drastically different this part might be worth the effort.

I will def be comparing the stock vs the perrin pulley. I won't know exactly until I get a day off to get the stock pulley out. It doesn't actually seem like its a lot of effort, and for $120, you cant really go wrong

What about any potential issues with warranty? Otherwise I would be all over this, given that it fits and is compatible.

It all depends on what the engine failure is.

Yeah that makes sense but knowing how dealers are they're probably try and void and deny your warranty anyways with or without the Magnusson-Moss act.

I pulled the screen out today. Its layers of plastic fabric mesh with a charcoal/carbon media impeded between them. My best guess is that its there to remove some of the airborne pollutants thus helping it lower the emissions out of the tail pipe. I will report back with any codes if there are any.

From your description, the material seems like that of an air purifier filter. So it probably serves the same purpose too.

That was my best guess as to what it was as well. So far 75 miles or so no codes and no noticeable changes in how the car drives, sounds, and its too early to see and MPG change.

I just installed the perrin crank pulley last night. It definitely makes the throttle feel a little more responsive. I really like the feel of it. Such a pain to install tho! The bolt was on super tight and I needed to put pipe over both of the 24 inch breaker bars for more leverage! The grimmspeed tool does work, not perfectly, but it works. I could only get two bolts through the stock pulley which made keeping it against the pulley whilst breaking the threads on the bolt a nightmare! You also need to remove the two rad fans in order to remove the bolt from the crank but that's no biggie. The perrin pulley teeters between 1.2 - 1.25 lbs on the scale! It is light. I won't be able to get a weight on the stock pulley till tomorrow when I get back to work, however I can tell you it weighs a ton! Best part, no CEL

I have been waiting for someone to review this. Thank you for trying, it sounds great so far. Do you have any pictures of the install yet?

LOL, Im sure the stock torque on the crank bolt is somewhere around 200-300 lbs. Old trick is if you dont have the man power. remove the spark plug wires and Turn her over 1 or 2 times with the rachet attached and anchored the nut should be loose after that. Good to hear you got it on. Hope you tried to torque the hell out of it.

I thought about that but was too scared to crush a brake line. I did it to 33 lbs and then again to 98 to make sure that the bolt turned more than 45 degrees. I gave it another quick go after that but heard the threads start to crack so I left it at that. I'll check again after a hundred miles or so

The o-ring seemed a little too big but I managed to make it fit. Is it worth replacing it?

Question

If there are no oil leaks, then you will be fine. Don't need to replace the o ring. How did you hold the crank pulley in place when you were loosening crank bolt?

I used the grimmspeed crank pulley removal tool. You can get either two of the large bolts through the pulley or three of the small ones

Overall how hard would you say the install was and how long did it take you? I seriously doubt my own abilities in installing this myself.
