I'm kinda skeptical about getting Eurocharged pullies But Detail-King is a dealer here in the Bay Area and says he can install it for me. SHould I go for the latest EC pulley or just go with ASP's 180mm Pulley?

our pullies are made by ASP.....your good to go

I have a brand new vrp 175 with water pump pulley if you want to go with a 175.All you would need is a new bolt and a belt.

I would also use lock tite on the bolts on it and it should be perfect with no wobble.

450 shipped

WHat's the difference between the design?

loungn14

great price from a great seller!


ASP uses a factory pulley and welds on a ring around it.

Our pulley doesn't use a factory pulley, but is a design simular to vrp/evosport etc. Its internally dampened.

Both very good products, and you will love the car either way you decide to go

Well thank god! Stock dampers are supposedly known to fail on our cars. ASP said you guys just recently updated the design. ASP is in SF and he is a EC distributor which is wonderful to know. Thanks for the info loungn14.

Dont listen to the bull **** evosport is saying about e55 stock pulleys failing,they showed a pulley that wasn even a 55k failing.Iv yet to see any stock pulley fail on a car.

Good luck on witch ever one you get,your going to love the new power

Johncy2000

Thanks bro for the info. I'm sure running a more durable pulley is beter than stock. And I wake up everyday wondering how my car will feel after these Stage 1 mods. I just can't WAIT!! Is is night and day. My car already scares me cuz i get loose in 2nd gear. lol

Simon @ evosport

And obviously since you've never seen it, then it must not be true. Got it!

The stock elastomer dampening is prone to failure- we have seen it many times on 55 and 55k (it's the same elastomer design regardless of which specific pulley was shown). This is not to say it WILL fail, but factory parts are built cheap for a reason. Especially when you start tinkering with them and make them do what they weren't built to do. Why do you think many tuners opt to not use the factory pulley as a starting point? Just to be different or so we can charge more money? I don't think so.

Well evotech,renntech,kleemann,asp all use a stock 55k pulley.All the major tuners use a stock pulley.you bad mouthed them before and needs to stop.

blair_mbz

No you are wrong. All major tuners do NOT use stock pulleys. I've personally had the stock pulley fail on my CLS55 and I know several other people who had the same problem as I did (including people whose MODIFIED stock pulley failed). Dealer replaced it under warranty even though my car was OUT of warranty. Please do your homework before you start posting information that is misleading to other members.

skratch77

Are you saying that renntech,evotech,kleemann and asp don't use a stock pulley?

That's funny because iv had all 3 in my possession that were all modified stock pillows
And my friend with a real asp(not eurocharged)uses a stock pulley.

So that's 4 out of the main tuners that use a stock pulley,maybe you should call renntech and kleemann and see what they use.

Johncy2000

should I still go with EC newest design?

loungn14

we don't use the stock pulley for our design. You will be fine with it, and we have had thousands of miles on the newest design without issues.

Johncy2000

Is there any type of warranty that come with this pulley?

emoving

All I can say is hooollllldddd on. Lots more power.

Johncy2000

I JUST CAN"T WAIT!!

loungn14

1 year if professionally installed....

MB_Forever

Most of the tuners modify the stock pulley: RENNtech, Kleemann, EVOTech, ASP, and I think even MKB does as well If you look at data from the top 5 quickest/fastest 55k cars, you'll see most of them use the ASP 180 mm pulley. Some of these guys are pushing 700+ hp and have got many miles on the car with no failure. I don't doubt that a few may fail but the majority that I've seen here on this forum have not failed yet including the top 5 quickest/fastest guys

Johncy2000

ASP(not the company) said he is a EC distributer. Would I get the 1 year if he installed it?

blair_mbz

No that is CLEARLY not what I'm saying. Your list above does not represent "All major tuners"- and certainly your definition of what defines a "major" tuner is very much your opinion. Rather than trying to explain again what I've already said and for the sake of not wasting bandwidth or jacking this thread, feel free to PM me if you need further clarification.

My point: Do your homework before posting statements as facts that actually have little to no validity.

skratch77

Pm me the major tuners please as I forgot to mention brabus uses a stock pulley also.I guess those are not all the major tuners.
