Aside from price as theirs seems to be more money with the tune being part of it. What would make this a better setup than say the one ams offers? http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/a...e-upgrade.html
Just two different ways to skin a cat? genuinely curious.

good to know ! last thing someone needs to worry about is the pulley coming off and damaging the crank shaft. u guys have instagram and youtube videos, would be nice to see some e55's using the pulley on youtube or something

LOL you never know on these forums...As for needing a retune if you change the diameter of the crank pulley, you should know the answer to that too....But you could always install it and just look at your datalogs, since I am sure your have a wideband and datalogger.

I mite try to order the 180mm ring from Weistec and see if I could get the power back but scared about the harsh s/c engagement cuz it's very annoying during daily driving..
I love the look and quality of the Weistec 170mm pulley plus the ability of changing pulley sizes quick

Any more reviews on this I'm about to order this deciding between an ASP 172 or this 170 stepping down from a 77mmFSP/175 ASP because of over boosting. My new combo will either be 172/ 83clutched or 170/83 clutched or should I just do a 180 and be done with it. A lot of people believe even that's too much for the stock blower. I can keep it running cool enough (KC/trunk tank/meth) but don't want to break another keyway or piston.

Not to mention you also get the fluid dampening technology that isn't offered with any other crank pulley system. Let us know how we can assist. Thank you!

We have many customers now running our modular crank pulley with great results. In terms of breaking a keyway, it is very common when spinning the supercharger at high RPM's but this issue can be completely illivated via our crank pin kit.

i was making decision between ams and weistec pully. but finally i placed order to weistec because seems weistec guy more dedicate in their job..
i hope here some people can educate me what is the different between ams& weister pully in design...
anyways,i just placed order for 180mm and tune. hope to get it soon. and very excited to see the result.
and does this kit work with 3.0L superscharge? i consider to update superchrage later..once my stock goes bad.

I'm running the Weistec 170mm crank pulley. I've done about 3,000 kms on it so far with no issues at all. The product looks good and I have no reason to doubt it's quality. Also nice for those wanting to experiment with boost/different sizes as you need only switch the outer ring which is secured with ARP bolts

I'm running the Weistec s/c with their 170mm crank pulley and 62.5 mm upper pulley. Boosting just over 17psi at 5,500 feet above sea level. For you more fortunate guys at the coast, a less aggressive pulley combo would do the trick.

Really nice looking part though I echo what other forum members have asked - is there any chance of a video showing the pulley in action?

ttt! both myself and AJM55 are fighting issues with shredding belts with this crank pulley, mine is on a stock SC with a clutched pulley, his is on a weistec blower with a fixed pulley.
Did you guys experience any issues shredding belts in your testing? what should we be looking for to alleviate this issue?
anyone on the board running this crank pulley successfully with out shredding belts? Trying to diagnose here, nothing more...

There is a lot of talk about these. Did any of you who went Weistec route need to change your injectors to help compensate?
These have been out of stock for almost a year and confused if there are issues and thats why they aren't offering any longer?
Thanks
