mattysupra Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Are you better off with a light weight crank pulley? Are the pulley and crank not balanced together? If i fit one of these light weight things am i asking for trouble or are they really worth doing? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I just got a titan one for mine, lots of people run them with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka-P Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Apparently any weight loss off the crank is gain as it removes a little strain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Its not called a harmonic balancer for nothing, it has nothing to do with being balanced with the crank, its all about being able to cope with the fluctuating loading caused but the ancillary belts;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattysupra Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 O, i thought it was to do with pulses coming down the crankshaft caused by the firing of the pistons etc? Jamie does your new pulley have a dampener or is it a solid cast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) O, i thought it was to do with pulses coming down the crankshaft caused by the firing of the pistons etc? Its all part of the same effect as it works both ways. And the titan pully is damped.

mattysupra Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 That makes sence! So how about these pulleys without a dampener? No good i guess as you may end up damaging the crank? or am i way of base here and there the best thing since sliced bread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'd personally only ever use a stock OEM harmonic damper, they are cheaper and do the job they are designed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Not put well admittedly, but what i meant was if you didn't have ancillary belts, would you actually need one, as all the driven accessory's, alternator, PS pump, water pump etc all induce a certain amount of vibration loadings as well.
