Hijacking to ask if there's a benefit to titanium hardware for the ATI pulley. I know it will be lighter, but how is that good (or bad)? Easier to accelerate? I can't imagine adding $48 worth of titanium bits would produce a noticeable difference.

 

Titanium itself is pretty expensive, unless you are hardcore racing the car I'm not sure it's worth it. I skipped that option myself

 

I went with the ATI. Haven't got around to installing it yet.

 

For just a street car it's hard to justify the cost. If it was a race car trying to get every ounce of power then ok. But 99% of people couldn't tell if they didn't know.

 

Got my pulley installed today, I can almost pull my old pulley apart by hand. My old crank seal was falling out too, so glad I ordered that as well!

 

How many miles on the car?

 

Just under 140k. It runs so much smoother now. I didnt realize how bad it had gotten.

 

Great pic Thanks The smoothness comes from it balancing better than the stock chunk of rubber.

 

You can use the pic, and for anyone around the Hampton roads area of Va looking to get some work done, I had it installed by a guy named Byron Rhine at his shop, you can find him on the Hampton Roads Club Mini page on Facebook. Real cool guy.

The old pulley you could see how the outer shell had rotated a good amount from the inner ring. And it was cracked pretty bad. I feel like I could almost pull it apart by hand.
