_Shane_ Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 normally you would get a set for in around the same price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 These are not a good idea. The standard pulley dampens harmonics generated along the length of the crank, the solid alloy ones don't and cause issues supposedly mate. I guess this is why titan and the like maintain the rubber inner ring for damping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Ive heard the stock harmonic dampening pulley is suppose to be the best one of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 There was a good and very informative thread about this very subject not long ago. Basically stop being tight and get a new damper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 For the OP and anyone else reading this, stay the hell away from undampened crank pulley's, I did the stupid thing once and got one without doing the research and it threw the crank shaft out of balance and bent it.

ashbuster Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 yeah thanks bud, had to be a reason for the price difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 For the OP and anyone else reading this, stay the hell away from undampened crank pulley's, I did the stupid thing once and got one without doing the research and it threw the crank shaft out of balance and bent it. There was a thread on here a while back where someone was asking for first hand experience of actual crankshaft damage due to fitting undamped pulleys, but as far as I can recall no one posted up anything concrete. Can you elaborate on what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 thanks for the info I read somewhere them best aftermarket crank pulley is from titan http://www.titanmotorsports.com/timoda2jcrpu.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate on what happened? Sure, my crank pulley went so I ordered a lightened pulley set complete with crankshaft pulley, had it all replaced and then around 500-1000 miles later I was driving it hard on twisty's so it was constantly high in the rev's(it was an N/A btw) for the first time since the pulley was changed, took it about 15-20 minuites before the engine started clanging and banging and the car started shuddering violently. Car got towed to the garage engine was taken out, stripped down and the bent crank was discovered, the garage examined the engine closely and the only thing they could put there finger on being the cause was the crank pulley, it was an otherwise healthy 68k mile engine.
