Speedriven V12 Biturbo Billet Idler Pulley

SPEEDRIVEN V12 Biturbo Billet Idler Pulleys are ready to order!
This is a redesigned idler pulley made out of billet aluminum. They will be anodized in three colors: black, red and clear. The pulley's will come with a double bearing design ...allowing for better distribution of heat and load on the bearings themselves. These bearings are known for high failure on all the v12 biturbo motors, causing one to be stranded with a belt off. The pulley's are in stock and ready for anodizing to customers choice.


$70+shipping each


PayPal is sales@speedriven
When paying thru PayPal please give a description in the notes. What product and color.
Or give us a call and we can put in the order 847-485-8126


Black Anodized



The two pulley's shown in the picture below are the one's that fail. Our pulleys are a direct replacement.

They do fail when least expecting. We have had many customers tow in their cars for these pully's failing, so we decided to make a cure.

I would suggest doing this on a cold engine as it is a bit tight at with a hot engine it might be a bit difficult.
