Bob Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'm not sure i understand why anyone would want to remove the dampener from the crank pulley? Or underdrive the water pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg I had similar thoughts on the pulley set - then I realised that the company is located just up the road a little from me so I might pop in and see what I can get seperately as I only really want to bling up the PS pump pulley As to the carbon trim - leave it!! There are much better sets (can't remember the seller) which look mint - genuine carbon weave (I know - I tried to cut it) with a thick (2mm) layer of plastic over the top. Looks the mutts IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Martin is that all the other pulleys and drives except the crank, or ignore the whole set mate? What about the dash kits - any good? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thanks Bob, wish I had a clue what that meant but helpful skeptiscm none-the-less! lol, sorry mate was more a 'thinking aloud' kinda thing, but typed! As i understand it the crank pulley is harmonically balanced, hence why uprated ones such as the BoostLogic one are so expensive - getting rid of the balancing can do very nasty things to your engine. Also my (limited!) understanding of underdrive pulleys is that they basically save a miniscule bit of power by making the component run a little bit less; surely not something that is particularly desirable on either the water pump for cooling, the alternator for ICE installs or the power steering for, um, steering (OK, I'm clutching at straws on the last one!) As I say, that's my limited understanding anyway, would be nice if one of the site brainiacs could elaborate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Good enough for me Bob you portal of knowledge you. Cheers mate. Can see exactly where you're coming from. A poor alternator with a Boost Controller, Fully integrated SatNav, Fuel/Air Gauge and Road Angel that underperforms is most definately another flat battery incident!

ChrisSZ Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 So is it basically just engine bling, or does it improve engine and car sustainability? For me just bling! I don't know if it would make any genuine performance improvements and, having read somewhere on here of the problems another member had removing his crank pulley, I don't really fancy the hassle that much:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Good point guys. Think i'll leave it! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
