ynot kustoms Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 so ive been needing to replace my harmonic balancer because its crap and moves alot so i was looking and found a wrx crank pulley thats solid no crap out rubber between the pulley so the real question is will it work for my 2.5gt lego wagon.... heres the link for it on ebizzle http://www.ebay.com/itm/201050008842?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooln30 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm not a fan of undampened crank pulleys. They're there for a reason and that's to dampen the engine harmonics. Which helps the engine last longer. Imo just get a OEM type pulley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bababou Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If you want to change the crank pulley look at a lightened crank pulley rather than an under drive set. There is no rubber to give out and your engine will spin up easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot kustoms Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 isnt it just the same thing under drive and lightened crank pulley. i just cant come up with 100 versus 40 or 60 i can. im sure the rubber is there for a reason but since ive owned the car the pulley is getting worse and worse my belt squeals like crazy i mean shit the motor has 240000 so i wouldnt be suprised if i had to replace the motor soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 underdrive pulley changes the speed of the accessories, a lightweight is the same diameter but lighter. an underdrive pulley could theoretically end up heavier than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bababou Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Plus do you really want an unknown quality pulley on the front of your motor? If you opt for a lightweigh pully check to make sure its not to light as that can cause issues as well, I belive it was a misfire issue, at least for my '10 impreza. I put the grimmspeed one on my car with no issues in 25K miles now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
