whenever i get on it, the engine vibrates a lot. could this be because of the udp? its not a harmonic balancer anymore so that might be why, its not all quite balanced. i dont have any solid motor mounts either. its just a funky rattling, feels like the engine is moving to much. i can feel it in the floor boards, any idea? i was thinjking motor mount or somethin with the the belts for the p/s. my p/s bracket is being a PITA, forgot one of the bolts and havent put it back on yet (lazy) thats probly why my belt pops off sometimes under hard accelerating. might just be the bracket jigglin around though im not sure

anyone notice antyhing like this with their udp?

I think it's that ricer you wasted this AM playing with his turbo8u voodoo doll.... not sure man. Could be a pulley. Is it throttle related independent of ground speed? Does it change with the compressor for the AC running? How about when you turn the wheels? Maybe just some more info I guess...

the actual p/s bracket is loose, i forgot the bolt behind the pump that screws to the motor mount and it pulls away from the engine a little. the belt is tight but i can wiggle around the pump with my hand if i jerk on it, i used to not be able to. i was just wondering if maybe the extra vibration was from the UDP, i'll throw that bolt back in but its a pita takin the p/s off...movin it out of the way, gettin that bolt in, gettin the p/s back in and belt tight, i gotta do it im just lazy i dont go wot very often anyway

lol @ turbo8u voodoo doll maybe THATS why my luck is so shotty

edit: yes, it happens at about 70% throttle in first, WOT in 2nd and not much in 3rd 4th or 5th but i can feel some vibration when im flyin on the freeway, a little in the pedal anyway. i think it might be combination of the belt tension and the wiggly pump and bracket, i guess i'll have to see

Since our cranks are balanced the AF-X pulley shouldn't be causing any vibration unless it's not on all the way.

I'm willing to bet it's one of your mounts. Or your wobbly PS pump .
