Drivetrain TRUE Light Weight Vibration Damper Replacement Crank Pulley
.
Has anyone tried fitting an '05 Crank Pulley to an older car, say an '03?
According to Randy Web the new pulley is 1.7lbs lighter:
"The '05 cars after January build dates have a different crank pulley from the factory. That crank pulley weighs in a 5.5 lbs, whereas the earlier cars all the way back to '02 have the same 7.2lb crank pulley"
Webmotorsports: Alta Lightweight Crank Pulley
That's nearly 25% lighter and still OEM!
According to Classic Auto Campus the partnumber for the new dampener is 11-23-7-514-461 and goes for $200.00 with the NAM discount.
Ok, to summarize
Pilo Dampener
$400.00
4.56lbs (~37% lighter)
Oversized available
'05 OEM Dampener
$200.00
5.5lbs (~25% lighter)
Stock size only
Tough call. I guess if you are looking for the oversized feature then it is more obvious ...

I have a 2005 Jan 1st week build S. It looks like I have the lighter weight pulley. The outside diameter of the pulley is machined. My 2002 had a rough scaly surface. Just some info for the build time line.

I was just curious on how much effective boost this would with stock SC pully. I haven't gotten around to going to a 15% pully yet and wasn't really planning on going larger than that. So curious what change could be expected from just the 5% oversize.

And now add ANOTHER four months to this. What is going on? It seemed like a really good idea and was so close ( 2 weeks ) at one point and its now 8 months later.
