You guys better be careful. Some people have had problems with various types of pulleys. Some tuners have installed ones and actually lose HP. Can we see some dyno's?....other info?

It WILL affect it, if it had no affect or issues why didn't the engineers who made designed it size the pulleys differently?

i would say that spinning the alt. slower would have an impact on charging.

however- i have roughtly a 1k watt stereo in my Focus. i also have a crank, water pump, and alt pulley- with no issues, outside of headlights that dim just a tad on a low bass note when sitting at a stop light. no problems when the engine is above idle.

not saying the MB won't have any issues, as i don't know a ton about their charging system

they are dampened, but i don't have any dyno graphs...but i will do this, if you buy them and do a before and after dyno and you lose hp, i will refund your money...

how is that for service...

don't twist my words, yes it will affect it in terms of underdriving the system, but it will not affect the electrical components on the vehicle...i was answering a specific question about the electrical system being underdriven...

these pulleys are designed to maximize the benefits of having less rotational mass on the crank while not going to the point of causing the other accessories to underperform...

unless you are idling all day with a huge draw on the charging system from extra electrical components, you won't have anything to worry about...

please let me know if you guys have any more questions, i will be glad to answer them...thanks!

dyno dyno dyno How do the weights of the stock vs LET pullies vs evosport's compare?

I noticed evosport's non-amg pullies work for v6s and v8s... Out of sheer curiosity, would these also work for the c55 guys?

what all is included? crank, water, alt, power steering? i would assume crank since you said one of them was dampened.

what % underdrive are they?

Would that be a refund of the pulley plus the cost of the dynos?

Wait, so you'd like us to pay for the Dyno's and return shipping if needed? I think it's your company's job to prove that it works rather than the consumer's responsiblity to disprove the product's performance.

ok, guys, there was a mis-communication on what the pulleys actually were, i assumed something, that is my mistake...

the pulley setup is actually not a crank pulley, it IS a water pump, power steering and alternator pulley...they are bigger and lighter than the factory offering...sorry about the mix up, these are VRP's pulleys and i am one of their distributors...i mis-read an email about them and assumed it was the crank pulley setup...my mistake...

gains are still 10hp, i will post up a dyno graph that they sent me here in a minute! thanks!

I was right about to ask what exactly was included in this.

many thanks
