_karu_ Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Subscribed. In people's opinion, what would be a good brand to go to replace my stock Crank Pulley? My car is 2005 2.5i (non-Turbo) and the only reason for me to change the stock pulley is to take precautionary step to prevent the eventual delamination of the stock pulley which may causes the destruction of AC compressor due to the belt falling off. I would like to replace the crank pulley with whatever closest to the stock one (sans the design flaw of the stock pulley) in order to prevent CEL due to misfire or other related issues caused by low weight pulley. Any suggestion? I've read names like Cobb, Perrin, Grimmspeed, etc. I'm just not sure which one to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxman Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 How did you get the torque wrench stuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_holm Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 How did you get the torque wrench stuck? The only 22mm socket I had was a deep socket and when I went to pull it out there wasn't enough room to pull it straight off, it was somehow wedged in the tiny gap between the fans. Felt pretty stupid after ******* with it for about a half hour then realized all I needed to do was out a little pressure on the edge to make a little room.

JMLegacy Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 In terms of engine vibration dampening. Wouldn't it be less of a requirement for 5EAT vs manual? Since the trans fluid can act as a dampener? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
