So around the internet I found a Light Weight Crank Pulley for the 2.4 and an even lighter Under Drive pulley. I'm wondering if those are even worth it.

I thought having some mass on the crank could improve torque, But I guess having a lighter pulley could help the motor rev up faster.

What do you all think. Worth the money or waste of time?

 

NO!

People have had alot of problems with those.

Nope

 

ok great, thanks for the info. I didn't know the crank pulley on the LE5 was a damper too, To me it just looked like a plain pulley. But Either way I won't be wasting the money on it.

Thanks again!


on another note I saw that there was also lightweight pulleys for the alternator. I would assume that those are also pointless.
My guess is the only pulley I would ever want to replace to gain performance is the pulley on the blower for a supercharged motor...

 

Yep, saving a few ounces off some pulleys when you've got pounds and pounds on the crank between the damper and the flywheel/flexplate is pointless in normal driving conditions.

 

Good point. Thanks again!

 

Don't use it.

 

Don't plan to, thanks to you guys!
