Tuners don't like LW crank pulleys?

My car has a LW crank pulley for the last 90,000 miles. It was street tuned by a Cobb protuner and later by Topspeed in Atlanta. Neither said anything about the LW pulley.

I would think they won't like light weight crank pulley combined with a light weight flywheel. In any case, I kept reading on here that this combination is not very good.

I have both and no issues. LWFW from Competition Stg II Kit and GS LWCP installed yesterday. Idles like butter. Currently tuned by Bren.

Updated parts list since original part-out here.

Man from all I hear about people having stalling issues in the '05 with a LWFW can I use I think it's a '06 WRX SMFW that's not light weight?

LWFW cause problems? How? I have one, and am currently having issues with fuel trim. Might it be related to be the LWFW?

LW Crank pulley on it's has proven itself to not have any ill effects so far. Your stock crank pulley is more likely to separate and destroy a lot of things.

 

It's not suggested to run LW crakpulley and LW flywheel at the same time due to CEL's coming up. This is why GrimmSpeed Crank Pulley is heavier then most.

 

@xtea, fuel trims are probably your intake/maf/o2 sensor related and not flywheel related.

Possibly a dumb question but can't you just turn off that code? They are missfire codes correct? Are you able to change the parameters of when they are set off or no?

You can disable that code, but IMO that's a very bad idea. You could be getting a real misfire due to bad plugs/coilpacks/injectors and you wouldn't show that code. So far it doesn't seem like you can control CEL logic.

Did not know that about the GrimmSpeed
