Hello all..
I mentioned in another thread that I would get the ASP Pulleys for my E55. They arrived today, I noticed that there is no official hi-res pics of actual ASP pulleys and some people are curious to see it. So I am going to post it here for everyone...It comes with a Belt, Water pump pulley and Crank Pulley...you can notice the weld job they did to the Crank pulley..

The Pulleys will be professionally installed by a bodyshop I use called Glenville Terrace Auto Body in Allston, MA....Here you will see the owner Barry...he's a super nice guy and does wonderful jobs on all my cars..

Nice choice in pulleys but are these guys qualified to do a pulley install?

+1 A body shop?! please be careful. The probles a bad installer can cause are never ending.

Relax...I had them install my Evosport Stage I kit for my old C32.....they installed the pulleys and the windshield Intercooler upgrade..

Jrocket

Whats a windshield intercooler upgrade?

derrick_lui

The evosport stage I for the C32 included a winshield washer bottle and some hoses. It is set up so that you connect the intercooler through the windshield washer bottle so you get more cooling capacity. You basically dump antifreeze/ coolant into the windshield washer bottle and have that act as coolant through the intercooler. You can also use windshield washer fluid if you want to retain the winshield spray function, but I heard the fluid eats up the intercooler core...

the pulleys look nice Derrick!

Seriously get some additional paint / anti corrosion treatment on the pulley before you fit it ... apply everywhere except in the pulley grooves and centre keyed tunnel. As you can already see its susceptible to rusting up ...

Can't go wrong with ASP....its a monster pulley.

Is the fact that they are welded vs screwed together why people complain about the quality?

Jrock: This or EVOtech?

stevebez

I hope there is more than just the three welds taking the strain of the outer ring on the pulley body. I guess the welds failing is what is on most peoples minds.

Its impossible to tell really how the ring fits on the OEM pulley body - hopefully it has a few keyed groves (at each weld perhaps) and the welds are there just to keep it in place - which is much more reliable.

No way to tell unless someone takes an angle grinder to one ... or we can ask ASP.

Whats up Jangy?

Lifesgud2

how much was that set up?

Roseylv

I paid $799.00 plus shipping. Install should be $100-$150

Jrocket

100-150 for install? That is very cheap.

Roseylv

It should take a very capable mechanic 1-1.5 hours tops. The shop rate was $82.00 per hour. I also had my shop install my Johnson pump. Total bill was $205.oo NOT BAD AT ALL!

Jrocket

You better be nice to that shop! I wouldnt do a pulley install for anywhere near that price.

Is this the old ASP pulley or the new one?

derrick_lui

I dont know, you guys tell me...I hope that is the "new" pulley if there is one..
I ordered it last week and it arrived this week, so it BETTER be the "new" pulley..

Jrocket

Looks new to me.But then again Ive never seen or heard fot he old one?

jangy

Which do I buy? the ASP or the EVOTECH?

Jrocket

ASP has a very good track record and its only 800 bucks,how can you go wrong.

Evotech is nice and quality made from the pics Ive seen but cost's much more and you get the same results as the cheaper ASP.

I went ASP.

OMG!

Those welds in the first picture look SCARY!

They look like they were globbed on with a stick welder.

I sure hope the pulley was checked for trueness, and re-balanced after that.

Best,
