Hi guys seen these lightweight timing pulleys on eBay and heard good reviews on them anyone used them or using them what's the difference in power ect or any difference at all..

Zip all probably

My opinion - on a road car, a waste of time...save your money, and spend it on mods which really will help - like a decent remap, better brakes, or better suspension / ARB's etc...

I have some Ecs ones fitted. Got them cheap No perceivable difference except a bit rougher idle.

So in actual fact they make it worse?

Could be the way they are fitted?

Isn`t the crank pulley weighted on a straight 4 engine to reduce vibrations? and it's probably balanced with the crank?  So all you are doing is fitting a lighter pulley and pulling everything out of balance, which would explain a rougher idle..

The standard pulley has a rubber damper built in which makes it smoother. My engine hasn't exploded yet though

Not driving hard enough then  

I got a set a while ago n was thinking of just fitting the smaller 2 n leaving the crank due to it being a harmonic damper but maybe il risk it seeing as rob does a vew good miles in his

Since fitting them I have done a few thousand km, including the Gumboot Rally which had two days of enthusiastic driving.

I seen ya youtube mate lol, gonna do some tunnel vids of mine soon now I got the ramair filter
