Dblock Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Just out of curiosity how easy are they to put in and take out etc? Apparently a couple of hours diy Will take your weight saving up a notch buddy DBlock - will be in touch once the numbers are in I know that's what I was thinking, not only that but potential gains up front. You wouldn't need to map these puppies in either!! Oh man I must resist, I need to do some calculations. I think they are about a good 2.5kg lighter than stock which is a good gain. Like you said no remaping need and its making the car more effecient. also has the metal sleeve on main crank pulley for a positive seal which means you wont get a leaking main seal which you get on the cheaper kits. This kit is also fully balanced so even though I have heard it doesnt make a difference it wont affect how the engine runs or knock its balance. Quote
Daryl Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Have you changed the link to the first set you put up on a group buy? The links seem the same? Let me sleep on it,iv just spent £400 on the Zed,so maybe pushing it abit! lol Do you do buy now pay later? lol Quote
jamzee500 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 sorry to be a noob but what do these do? i looked at the link and it says they can add up to 11hp, is that realistic or is that the usual exaggerated figure from manufacturers of aftermarket parts? cheers JM Quote
Dblock Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 People generally see a 6-11bhp increase throughout the rev range with all 3 pulleys lightened. Your making a heavy part on the car lighter and stronger. As the crank pulley spins the belt which drives the idler and alternator pulleys it's causing a parasitic drag on the engine. It's not making the engine technically lose power but it's stealing it before it gets to the wheels. Reducing weight on something which spins makes a big difference. So the car with gain power all through the rev range, be more responsive and efficient. sorry to be a noob but what do these do? i looked at the link and it says they can add up to 11hp, is that realistic or is that the usual exaggerated figure from manufacturers of aftermarket parts? cheers JM Quote

Let me sleep on it,iv just spent £400 on the Zed,so maybe pushing it abit! lol Do you do buy now pay later? lol Hi mate I did change to a standard pulley size from a decent supplier as I wasn't comfortable with the other one. I can sort something out payment wise if your struggling. I can order and hold one for you for a £20 non refundable deposit. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Right guys Price is confirmed at £180 Shop price will be at least £230 so theres big savings to be had I want this wrapped up over the weekend so I can get them for the back end of next week Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Put me on the list as well. How much do you think a garage will charge to fit them? Thinking to have it fit at Japex in Kings Langley. Do they come with the necessary belts? Quote
tez162003 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 sorry, off topic, but another local, i work 30 seconds from Japex, should let me know when your down there, could pop down. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 OK Too bad Japex doesn't do the UpRev, would be nice to have someone more local thank Abbey, Horsham or RS... Quote
