Question on pulleys
I'm considering buying a set of pulleys for my car (weekend car use, trackday/autocross every couple of months).
There are sets of 1, 2 (Perrin), 3 (Buddy club, raceseng) or 5 pulleys (raceseng). How much extra benefits do I get from each of them? Every seller out there has info on the benefits of the lighter pulleys, but what I want to know is the downside of changing the pulleys. Today I found out: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ghlight=pulley "This pulley kit is designed and intended for motorsport applications. Running the air conditioner and headlights at idle can cause an insuffieient battery charge." Anything else I should think about and consider before buying? |

This subject has already been done to death.
I will summarize it for you: 1/ OMG!! This mod has released at least 40 megaWatts and now I can beat Veyrons from the lights. 2/ This mod is a waste of money and you would be better off going on a diet. A search on these forums of "light weight pulley" would have given you these results in addition to the link above. This is not the full list. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61709 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56931 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47079 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13259 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43556 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12450

  That is funny. I was just commenting the other day at the vintage car races. People spend thousands of dollars to shed a couple of pounds from their car, then you see a 280 lb man squeezing into a spitfire. |

Not worth it. If you go with induction or some other real performance improvement it isn't going to care about those pulleys. Also, there is a reason some things have mass. There is a reason a tuba sounds like a tuba and a piccolo sounds like a piccolo too. Just my two cents. Some folks love them.
