Default Check out what I made for the VQ35

Hey guys - I know I don't post here alot and well, while we have been growing I wanted to start making something for the 350Z platform. I figured making a pulley at a decent price would be a way to somewhat "break in" the 350z market.

Featuring a steel collar to prevent excessive wear against the crank seal the WRP Technology lightweight crank pulley weighs in at 1lb 8 ounces. This one is stock size and I am working on an underdriven one to compare/compete to the other pulleys in the market. As you can see we ensure every aspect of this pulley by making from T-6061 Marine grade stock, and also tapering the edges to prevent belt squeal.

At this point I just wanted to show what I made and just get feedback and talk with you guys - I will be contacting the mod team about being able to sell on the forums shortly.

nice to see another lightweight stock size pulley with a steal insert. I think ur is the only competitor with the same stats, kjr may not have the steel insert.

Is this for 03-06 or for 07+? i heard the previous stuff doesn't work for the new HR engine, i had just decided to go through with starting a design and making my own for my car and depending on how it goes possibly make them available for sale here (if allowed) but looks like you beat me to it if that fits an 07.

taking info from another post, somewhere i read that every 1lb off the crank = 2.7 hp, stock pulley is 7lb (again what i read, not tested myself) so at only 1lb 8oz., in theory, that's nearly 15 hp gain from this. dynos would be the best way of showing true gains though obviously...

I most defenitly will be working on making products for the 07 if it's not interchangeable - the only way to find out is for someone to take the stock crank pulley and look at in on the 07 -

once i'm setup as a sponsor on the forums, I will host the group buy for sure!
