Light weight pulleys
Hello,
I'm considering getting a set of light weight pulleys, most likely from CDF racing, just wondering, is there much benefit from the standard heavy ones?
Also, does it need a map? Or is it nothing to do with mapping?

I think I have a friend who has cdf one's and they went on fine, I will check,
Chris, how much for a 1997 uk turbo without power steering, looking for black or blue, is it just 3, can I re-use the belt that goes around them?
Thanks
PS, I ordered a TMIC tilt kit last week, not received anything yet, I don't suppose you know when they are being sent?
Thanks
David

I received a set of CDF lightweight pulleys today and having looked at them I have to say I am impressed by the quality and how much lighter they are than the standard items.

So,what do they do for performance then?
Have been chewing over getting some,if they actually do something other than look pretty and lower car weight by a few kg's.

Guys ,
The stock pulley is actually made from two pieces. Because is it very heavy it has a damper in it ( the rubber piece in the middle) after a few years ( we find around 8-10) this damper is known to split and cause the crank pulley to split in two. We sell quite a few of our pulleys for this reason as ours are from 1 piece and can never split.
The kits are very light, the crank weighs around 500grams compared to 2.5 kilos.
You will noitce a better throttle response and maybe pick up a few bhp's

Sorted now, but only with a standard one, sadly, can't afford lightweight ones at the mo.
