can you post a pic of the pulley.
when i had a vrp pulley on my e55 it came with a smaller water pump pulley.

hcetzneb

This is the 175mm pulley. I think you guys are refering to the 180mm pulley.
The 175mm is more like the kleenman pulley which dosent come with a water pump pulley i will post a pic. This is only the second vrp ive bought for a customer they all wanted the kleenman but this pulley is a very quality piece . ill post pics in a min.

Still in wrapping never removed.

Personally I wouldn't give a bucket of spit for a VRP pulley. There is a very good reason they went out of business.

hcetzneb

MMM thanks for the encouragement on the sale but i think if you do 2 buckets of spit now were taking ....

maybe if you did any bit of research at all you would find out vrp .... now wait for this.... they dont make there own pulleys WOW. I do understand VRPs had issues but it wasnt with the parent company and vic it was with others that we all know who.. And also if you did some reseach you would of also found out the company that makes there pulleys also make numerous other companies pulley and are a very solid company...... But thanks for the bashing on my for sale thread ... dont you have better things to do with you time


And you hate them soooo much but have a 80mm tb from them right ....loser

Karlson

I am not trying on **** on this parade, but vrp 80mm tb are the AMG 80mm Throttle body, AMG 80mm Supercharger inlet, 80mm Y-pipe, throttle body gasket, Supercharger inlet gasket and 4 stainless bolts. So basically all Mercedes products with the part number on it, I believe AMG didn't make 175 pulleys.

hcetzneb

I know that but arent you refering to the E55 80 mm upgrade he has a s600 . Yes basically all mercedes parts except the modified inlet, and they use the tb out of a 65 v12.


I was just wondering why someone s**ts on a company then braggs in his sig he is running them.

hcetzneb

Also for anyone interested i spoke to vrp and can get a water pump pulley, and the belt.

hcetzneb

SOLD! Thanks everyone
you can close this one

I don't remember saying I hated VRP? I am glad you sold your pulley, but I know quality and junk and I was simply stating my opinion on VRP pulleys. Part of this forum is to exchange info., including opinions and facts about products. My comment was based on facts and direct experience with VRP and their dampner supplier.

BTW, I know exactly who made the VRP pulleys as I had to deal directly with them on the two junk ones Victor sold me. The owner of the company in CA is a very nice and knowledgable man who admitted that he was NOT used to building pulleys for supercharged cars and who admitted that they had a significant problem with the VRP pulleys spinning on the crank due to insufficient clamping force (unlike VRP themselves). VRP DID finally refund the cost of the pulley BUT I was still out hundreds for a now useless ECU tune and shipping etc. As for the TB, it is, as was posted, a MB piece that Victor simply had rewired by, again, a third party.

VRP didn't MAKE jack **** except for software after they split from Powerchip, a split that was much less than friendly. IMO, Victor is a nice well intentioned enthusiast who has no business trying to be in the tuning business.

hcetzneb

And this is all your opinion and you are entitled to what ever opinion you want....
but with that said your opinion has NO place in my post to sell something at that point your just being childish and looking to start problems.. That has become such a issue here they have prohibited it here. Believe me i know alot more then you think of the VRP story i know vic and have
had to go throught numerous horror stories with my customers and i know of all there down falls..

The pulley i sold was a thrid gen with a solid hub and it was a clamping issue that the first gen pullieshad a problem with but it didnt make the pullies spin on the crank it made the hub of the crank break.
I am a installer and tunner so i have frist hand and have delt with about 3 broken pullies untill i refused to install them .

Now if i started a thread that said " ANY OPINIONS OF VRP PULLIES" i would hope for your input. But i didnt i was selling a brand new Gen 3 pulley so please just keep you opinions to yourself in the for sale section as i do..

Zachmac

Accepted as you state. BUT, you should have stated Gen 3 up front since you know the history.

hcetzneb

I appreciate you seeing my point but it should matter even if i was selling a purple monkey!!! if someone is interested they are more than capleable to ask ??? and make a desision....

Zachmac

BTW, you posted this (look yourself) as a new GEN 2 pulley and now you say it was a GEN 3? It DOES MATTER if you are selling a purple monkey and calling it a blue horse and other posters know its a blue horse. One of the functions of this forum is to protect each other, not dump crap off on the unsuspecting. If you want to do that then go to sleazebay. This is why we have to have a section where we comment on sellers, because they aren't all honest. I AM NOT saying that is the case with you or this part, BUT I do think any poster should be able to comment constructively in ANY forum section. I accept that my first post wasn't exactly constructive! Perhaps if I had simply questioned if it was a G2 or G3 pulley? You now admit you know about all the VRP problems but you chose to not address them in your first post and took the caveat emptor approach. That is again okay ofr sleazebay but shouldn't be the case here.

hcetzneb

Im done with you... Ive have sold MANY MANY parts here and would never sell something that i know that would break. SO sorry mister perfect i made a mistake and put gen 2 instead of gen 3. If i had a gen 1 or 2 i would just throw them away... Do you honestly have such little to do with you time that you have to bother honest people selling stuff here ..

So im a sleaze you say i just saved a member here over 1/2 price on a pulley... and we had a great transaction.. and your still here posting nonsense Get a life

hcetzneb

Why dont you go bother someone eles ... or why dont you just ask any of the people ive sold stuff to and they can tell you haow helpfull and upfront i am with them

You are just the kind of cancer on this site that ruins it... You say OH im helping others and informing them... No you just trying to stir up problems and challenging people .
