1) I have yet to see any dyno results showing any real HP gains from this mod
2) some members have had serious engine issues after doing this mod.....the crank is not something you want to mess with

the people i personally know that have it done have had no problems, ive taken my crank pulley off numerous time, imo its one of thoose hit or miss things. to be on the safe side just change the seal.

The issue lies in the fact the aftermarket light weight pulleys are not harmonically dampened. The engine harmonics can cause the crank to crack. For aftermarket crank pullies go with ATI or Fluiddamper anything else is Russian roulette.

sorry guys, should've mentioned it was for a g37. They do not have a harmonic balancer, I think its internally balanced.
Who ever have installed it 'properly' have reported gains in the 5 hp range, not much but everything counts, and almost everyone reported a butt gain effect.

Just looking for someone who has done it numerous times and knows what they're doing. 'GeeRider' where u at?

yea sorry i shud have been more clear, its gonna be problematic if you put on a cheap 60 dollar pulley. from what i know the Fluiddamper pullies would be the best, and ATI since sylvans saying so and he knows his ****.

im in brampton, has the pulley ever come off before, its a b!tch to get off for the first time
