Since the motor is out of the car and ecs gave me store credit whats your input on the lightened pulley kit they sell?

 

oh and its a b5 s4

 

my input is less weight= more usable power. dont know about the product for sure but am going in that direction myself with a new clutch and lightweight flywheel..you will definitely have better times.. id be all over it..

 

use the credit for something better....coil over, RS4 parts, etc. not worth the money, very minimal gain, if any

 

i got the pulley kit. It helps on acceleration a little and it wasn't that expensive. i had the front end off the car and was doing my timing belt so i just decided to add them to my order. i like them and think they were well worth it.

 

i dunno when i pulled apart my front end and did the timing belt... after tons of research i found that pulleys were not worth the money... the gains are small, and in the end they might wear out parts faster since they spin faster then excepted..

 

they dont spin faster.. they are lighter so spin quicker..they are less of a drag on the engine.. 6800 rpm is the same speed regardless of how much the pulleys weigh...

now if the pulleys are different sizes they spin different speeds

 

I though about getting them last fall but decided my money could be spent better. Eventually i spent it on a JHM short shifter, BIPipe, RS4 motor mounts, Snub mount, something along those lines...

When i pull the motor myself for stage 3 ill reconsider, but i wouldnt pay someone to install them

 

Ya I got the track density motor mounts from 034. I wanted the street but they werent going to be in for another month so screw that. But regarding mounts anyone know where I can get the nuts for the mounts becuase they werent included with the mounts and I lost the other ones. Also is there anythings I should do/ look for when I go to put the motor back in. Is there anything I need to do before starting it. I know to crank it a few times to get the blood flowing but anything else? Thanks
