Idler question

Nervouswreck · Nov 26, 2019

I’m going to replace my idlers with UPR dual ball bearing ones . I have a 2.76 upper , getting an either 2 or 4 lb lower , and a snub idler . What size idlers would you guys suggest ?
I’ve been hearing 2/ 100’s and 1/ 90 mm .

Thank you sir ! So if i already have a 100mm snub idler , I’d need (2) 100mm , and (1) 90mm then ?

Check eBay and see if any companies have any Black Friday sales for the pulleys. Also put a WTB add in the marketplace here and see what you can get.

Lethal performance is having great sales. Check to see if they have deals on Metco Pulleys. They are the best of the best.

The 90mm idler usually goes on the snub so if you already have a 100mm snub and want to keep it, all you need is 3 100mm idlers.

I recommend going with the same manufacturer for all 4 idlers to maintain the same look/style, and take advantage of double-bearings if you choose Metco. Hopefully you can find a deal on a 4-piece Metco set. And then sell your current 100mm idler.

I’ve had the UPR idler setup for a couple years now and I’m happy with my purchase. The UPR’s don’t seem to get much love but I went with them over the Metco’s simply because I like the looks of the them better. I have 1-90 and 3-100.

That looks very nice.

Is that 10% discount for any purchase?

Where does the 90 mm go ? Next to crank pulley ?

I thought it was for everything but when I tried to but some carbon fiber pieces, they told me that not all vendors are participating in the 10% off deal.

You can swap them around as needed. Originally I had both 100mm on top and the 90mm down by the alternator. But the Whipple aux idler would hit the 100mm. So I put the 90 there and the 100 by the alternator.

No. I have mine on top closest to the blower pulley.

I'm just one step ahead of you in the game. Others have helped me and I pass on what I can. It's a cycle.
