Right now im working on my after-deployment shopping list, and am considering getting fensports lightweight crank pulley, along with a lightweight flywheel. Never had experiances with lightweight pulleys, so i was wondering what can i expect. Im sure the normal, run of the mill response like " smoother revs" or something, but what about the negatives. Such as balancing, or just even others who run them on the 3sgte.

i was tossing this idea up heaps a while ago as my harmonic balancer was on the way out (outer and inner rings were becomming seperated from the rubber)

in the end i decided to go with a factory item because:

It was easier and just as cheap for a new OE item
If a multi billion doller company with thousands of engineers decided that it needed it then i should keep it, especially when it comes to harmonics and vibrations.

However if another company made a lightweight one that was a proper balancer (like factory) not just a solid pulley (like fennies one) then assuming the price was reasonable i would have got that. Im pretty sure that a company makes one for an mr2, but they arnt suitable as it would overspin your power steering pump (unless you got a bigger pulley for that)
