if they come with rubber dampers, take it
Those without dampers will damage ur crank in the long run....maybe in 3 years time due to the vibrations, so it is not recommended

You can check those details in other online forums too around the world, they prefer with dampers for long lasting too

those that come with rubber dampers are usually sold at rm600.00

Yep.. and i don't think of it as being necessary to spend that much.. on a pulley..i think i'll be takin my chances...

wat u pay wat u get...in a long run, it save u a lot more than it's worth...not only in countable forms......

Hmm.. i still think i'mma be takin my chances.. i've gotten the opinions of some very senior people in car modding..(with reference to my car..) and i'm convinced that there is no reason for why i should fork out 600 bucks when 280bucks should more that do the trick...

cipan_supercas-damperless crank pully..(recently had his engine rebuilt..)

khoyos-custom damperless crank pully.. renowned fiore wagon.. do a youtube search and you'll find him doing 200+ kmh against a wira-vr4.. if a guy that's hitting 9000 revs per minute regularly isn't complaining.. who and what are we to even suggest otherwise...


Mind you.. i'm not patronising anyone here... it's just that i'd rather take the word of someone who's been there.. done that and sure as hell knows what he's talkin about..

Basically.. if u're using an auto tranny.. then the torque converter on the other end should more than suspend vibrations... the same concept pretty much applies to manual tranny's that have pretty decently damped internals..

Well it depends on the buyer what he/she wants, just that beware of the consequences of conrod bearing wear later yeah

ABout the VR4 guy, probably he had his engine block balanced so he has nothing to worry about

been there, done that. if the internals have been balanced with the crank pulley, there should not be any need for the damper if it is used constantly within the balanced rev range. our pulleys are plug & play items, so a damper is necessary. btw, even if u balanced the engine, it is only good for certain rev ranges. u can't get a straight line balance from 0 to 10000 rpm.

Is this thing really works? If yes, I will start saving money then...

why not? i'm enjoying every minute of it

bro maddie, got pulley for nissan n16 oredi?

not yet

try this company (US) they provide good quality MOD pulley but much lower then those Japanese branded ....... ( alot malaysian EVO, Subaru owner using it) ....

http://www.unorthodoxracing.com/

did u notice that there is no damper in the unorthodox racing pulleys?

did u notice what pulley u see ???

eh.. any user (EK) here installed this kinda stuff?

how much does the OEM weights compared to the 3rd party/after market?

erm...
i'm still confused..
LCP supposed to increase power or torque?

if by improving low end torque, does it effect the high end?

LCP doesn't increase, it just releases torque and HP

our pulleys are half the weight of oem pulleys.

as for your question on power gains, u'll feel the engine being more free revving, thus faster pick-up and u'll also reach your top spped faster. however, if u do not drive like a madman every day, u'll also notive some savings in fuel compared to using an oem pulley.

bro, u got link to wat u are selling?
i try clicking ur siggy but no link wo.

ehh.. u got the exact weight n price? pics?

hehe i wanna visit ur webbie to see..

maddie's sig doesn't have links
