Pully Set

[cruzin33]

Iv been searching pully kits and from what ppl say it gives you more throttle response due to weighing half the weight of stock pullys and also looks better. Does any one use them, what are the cost of a good set and are they a defect?

Cheers

if it looks better its bound to do something!!!

anyways....

lightened harmonic balancer and flywheel worth it tho.

if it includes water pump pulley etc...they dont weigh enough to make a difference anyways....

even if it looked better you wouldnt see it due to cam gear covers

[chops]

Just lighter, or are they underdriven as well?

That would be cam gears under the cam gear cover.

Pulleys are indeed visible, although the fan and shroud obscures much of them, unless you run a thermo of course.

But as Ryan basically said, don't bother, if you're serious get a lightened flywheel.

Light rims will make a difference too.

lightened flywheels arnt all that they are hyped up to be either...

U know your getting old when u mod your car and once u hit a certain pont it feels more like it belongs on a race track than a daily driver...

On/off clutches, cars that dont idle, or sit in stop start traffic aint fun to use as a regular transport some days...

i personly dont think an underdrive pully is worth destroying your bottom end bearings, if you want to do this mod id pay a little extra and get a lightwieght harmonic balancer, maybe also underdiven?

[Ryanrb25]

underdriven pulley? do explain

[DriftR_33]

it gears down your enging acc. some people really get into that type of mod, personly i think there is much more worth while power to be made elsewere.

GFB don't make a pulley for the RB series because they believe it'll be detrimental to the life of the main bearings.

Pulleys are a waste of time anyway. The biggest 'inertia' mod is the flywheel. You are saving up to 10kg on a mass which is *much* wider in diameter. Thus the inertial penalty is huge compared to a shitty pulley. Don't waste your time on them.
