This thread should be in R56 Perf Mods Drivetrain forum.
Is Webb the only one with a lightweight crank pulley for the R56 to date? I'd like to know what the stock crank pulley weighs along with its construction to compare with the aftermarket piece. 4 cylinder engines in general do not need a huge massive damper like inline 6's or V8's. A lighter crank pulley would make the engine more responsive, but may slightly increase some vibration. The potential increase in vibration would be due to the fact the MINI's engines do not have balance shafts and have relatively wobbly engine mounts.
