I just picked up the Mini with the new crank pulley installed. There is a definite difference.......subtle but noticeable....worth doing for sure.....the engine is a little "snappier."

I also saw the intake manifold from WMS and the work looks great....I'm looking forward to getting it in.

 

Is there more engine vibration at idle?

 

nothing I noticed....the car is very smooth.....considering all that has been done. 5000 rpm is like a sewing machine.

 

Absolutely none that I can feel. Doesn't mean there couldn't be long-term issues. Mine has been on for almost 10K miles, no problems.

 

Hi Jim,

stop by R Speed and ask to see my intake from WMS....very impressive.

Bob,

I have to be out of town, so I may not see it.

I'll be really interested to hear if you can identify any significant difference. This was one I wasn't so sure about for the money.

 

I have Randy's head and he says that with the head the intake really makes a diff.....

addendum..... on the way home tonight I can really feel the crank pulley difference and I really like it.....smooth at idle and much better throttle response..... now I want the flywheel even more.
