As a curiosity, why does nobody do any of the other pulleys? I mean, the idlers have mass as well, and since they are not transmitting any torque could be unbelievably light.

Why does nobody do it? Cost / benefit, or some other reason?

I haven't checked on this car so don't hold me to it, but most cars have plastic idlers. Won't save very much weight there if any at all.

PM me the prices! BTW I second the AT question on how does it benefit

Captain Insano · 12-12-2012, 11:31 PM

Awesome writeup!!

For those asking if this benefits AT - of course it does. Anything that drops rotational weight is beneficial for quicker revs and acceleration the more weight you drop... and less driveline weight the engine needs to directly move/spin. You wont notice from a shift "feel" perspective like a MT though since that is all "automated" on the AT cars.

this won't throw CELs for being so light? don't quote me on this but, I remember reading on here someone talking about the wrx's and what not having CELs because the system was so light the car thought it was misfiring.. anyone have any incite? Perrin said something that that's why they kept theirs at a moderate weight and they HAD the option of going lower in weight but didn't. maybe that's just a thing of the past..

price shipped to L4S1W8 Canada. Thanks

Norkoastal · 12-13-2012, 01:46 AM

Interested but would like to see a couple reviews from folks talking about any possible compromises with these installed..

MattQ-WP · 12-13-2012, 04:50 AM

Agreed. I would love to get some but the salesperson would be the last person to slate their own product.. I remember their being a very anti-low weight pulleys post from one of the other tuners somewhere on these forums so would be keen to re-visit that opinion vs this one

Celica00 · 12-13-2012, 05:23 AM

could you get the water pump and alternator pulleys alone as i've already purchased a crank pulley.

Kodename47 · 12-13-2012, 06:51 AM

Looks good. Any ideas of cost delivered to the UK?

We will let you know if any CEL's come up, but having driven this car for about a week now... everything is good so far.
