Hello all,

We are currently working with a company to start distributing a Billet Aluminum Crank Pulley/Harmonic balancer. This will be stock size, but about 60% lighter. You will not need a new belt and this will work with all aftermarket pulleys. The price will be 549.00 per pulley, and a possible group buy may be opened up.

Is there an interest for this product?

Benefits include: reduced drivetrain stress, more RWHP (expect 6-12%), bling, and when paired with Underdrive Pulleys this will make for a very noticeable mod.

 

Sh*t dude your rocking pretty good. Good work.

 

I'm assuming the crank pulley will be made with the na Crossfire in mind? If so, you can definitely count me in ~ I just lost a drag race to a 2008 Audi TT 3.2 DSG even with the mods listed below... and MAN am I pissed... I am so there if you make them.

 

You will not gain much if any HP from simply running a lightened crank pulley. You will certainly not gain 6-12%.

 

I'm interested - especially if you're considering making an underdrive pulley kit too.
I agree with SRT6_Roadster somewhat though - may be a little more free revving high up...

 

Not saying it is a worthless mod just don't expect a measurable HP gain. Any gains you do see will HP wise will be within the margin of error on the Dyno.

 

SRT6_Roadster is right... If it is all aluminum you will lose the function of the harmonic balancer, which is important as you could risk a broken crank. All you are doing here is lightening the rotating assembly which could make it seem to rev faster in nuetral. You could actually hurt your performance in a drag race. In drag racing we would try to run lighter flywheels which is the same basic effect you will have here. If we went too light the car bogged and didn't launch like it should. You actually need some momentum of the rotating assembly to get the car moving from a dead stop.

 

Why don't you just chrome the stock balancer pulley if you want bling.

I'm all for TVT succeeding but you need to start doing your own engineering work and not copy what's already out there.

If you can get the Catalytic delete pipe from a Mercedes dealer and sell those on your site I would buy them, the only problem is my Mercedes dealer won't order them for me. This would make a great product for you guys because there is nothing to manufactuer... just get the export pipes and sell it!

Let me know if your interessted and I'll get you the part numbers.

 

top speed for a tt 3.2 130 top speed for a crossfire limited 150 and you got beat the tt has 250 hp to your 215.

 

These are not just pulleys that replace the harmonic balancer. These are Redesigned harmonic blancers made to be lighter. There are numerous companies that make lighter harmonic balancers for Chevys, Fords, and every other type of engine. It's proven to work, and our car will show the same results.

Our cars have enough "momentum" to get them moving. I don't feel that a lightened crank pulley will make this undriveable, actually I know it won't. The harmonic blancers on these are known to wear and tear much sooner than most cars. I will post dyno sheets when they came in.

As for the cat delete pipes, I would imagine taking it to a local exhaust shop would not only be cheaper, but probably much easier.

 

Local exhaust shops will not mount an offroad exhaust on my car. California laws you know...

 

Send your car over to Jersey and we'll take care of that...

Who would be doing the install of he off-road pipe then? Not too familiar with CA laws.

 

If I can get the export pipes from MBZ I can just bolt them up myself, and wire in the O2 sims.

 

?? Never said I got beat on a free-for-all top speed dash... I do know that my car has a higher top speed than a TT ~ I pinned my car's speedometer at 260 km per hour, and given the margin of error on speedometers (and according to my GPS), I actually took my car to 155 mph +.

I lost to an '08 Audi TT 3.2 DSG on the quarter mile (400m), straight and simple.

 

i'd be interested but $549 is a lil steep... maybe i should be sponsored lol.

 

Max, here's the shop you need Morse Muffler, Burbank CA They are also a race shop...
