SkippyVR6 1 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 same as above, worth it or not?? Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 From a performance point of view a total waste of time, you can come up with as many theory's and technical jargon as you like, but it the real world they will make no difference at all. but they do look nice.

Ickyketseddie 89 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I must admit i thought if it was that easy to get a extra 10hp surely it'd be the first thing we all did. Link to post Share on other sites
daxmatt 0 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Cheers chaps, for me its more for looks (sucker for engine tarting stuff) rather than performance I just don't get the underdrive bit and dont want to damage anything Link to post Share on other sites
The Duke 27 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I seen these and had a look on the web to see if they were any good and came up with the same conclusion that's already been said, they ain't worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 If you were doing it then do it properly and don't get the cheaper eBay ones. The crank pulley needs too be balanced. I'm not being argumentative but surely if they are much lighter then the engine would rev more freely? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 They do look shiny though Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Coupled with a lightened flywheel the engine will spin easier but you get a lumpier idle bhp gain is highly exaggerated Link to post Share on other sites
