I can't speak for the exact ones you've listed, but I purchased these for my WRX. Any reduction in the rotating masses HAS to be a good thing. I replaced the crank, PAS and alternator pulleys. He doesn't seem to have those sets listed right now. Worth a look though

Good quality, price and service.. good bloke to deal with

cdfracing.co.uk

are top notch. buy pulleys from them ony in my opinion.

ive had a set of the cheap (bomz) import pulleys. the crank pulleys rattle when cold (slack fitting)! also the belt groves are wrong size!

the ones in that ebay add are made by CDF. they are cheaper from CDF direct. tell them your from scoobynet and im sure you get a discount.

Me too. With fluffy going in for a load of stuff and a remap, I am looking at all sorts of cheapish ways of getting more out of her (Only cheapish as I got taken to the cleaners recently for a load of work on her that was sub standard by another outfit)

What will these really make any difference worth bothering with for the money: Crank , alternator , power steering , and the tensioner pulleys -

Advice/opinions from some of the old guard would be most welcome!

Cheers,

Nick .

Hello!

The lightweight pulleys are very popular with scoobie's , The full kit in fact weigh's less than the crank pulley alone..

The main gain you will get from the pulleys will be throttle response . Mainly in higher gears , they will let the engine rev more easy ,

Yes these are the front pulleys (next to the rad ) .

You can buy these direct from our site or anyone of our suppliers.... either way they all get made by us in the U.k .


If there are a few of you interested , let us know and i'll work some group buy prices out .... and more questions please fire away ,


Cheers chris

I have had several sets from CDF, Chris Florey.
Two sets arrived today consisting of the idler pulley, crank pulley, power steering pulley and alternator. Prices are reasonable considering the work done and Chris can supply anodised in a range of colours. Blue, black, gold, red.
I always use underdriven pulleys and have never had a problem with the alternator charge output. I cannot say I can detect any increased performance but they look nice and every little bit adds up.
Remember the advert "Many a Mickle Maks a Muckle".

It's the little pulley that sits under the air-con (Tensioner pulley ) It's mainly a cosmetic pulley as you won't gain anything by having this ... just good looks


The blue comes out like this ...





Will post a pic of what they look like fitted in a bit
