Zetec lightweight bottom pulley
possibility i will be having lightweight bottom pulleys made for 1.8/2.0L zetec blacktop engines and these are proven to allow the engine to spin up
quicker providing quicker acceleration, and if you have a lightweight flywheel why leave the big heavy pulley on the other end? they will be
underdrive pulleys
how much would people be willing to pay think they are about £75 plus postage on alot of websites probably looking at around £50 including postage.
but obviously they will be sold for whatever people are willing to pay for them bearing in mind it will cost me abit to have them made.
Less weight more speed, more power more speed
If in doubt, give it a clout

I'd have jumped on board had I not had one delivered the other day! Think it came to near as damn it £100 inc VAT as well....

I seem to remember reading on one of the Ford forums that non standard un-dampend Zetec crank pulleys are a possible cause oil pump rotor failure?

Thats right, standard pulleys are a damper that stop the crank nose destroying the oil pump.

we will be looking at under 600grams but will let you know the precise weight once i have had some made
yes the standard pulleys do have built in dampers but as you probably dont do 12,000 miles a year in your kit car it wont make alot of difference not
having a damper.
we use lightweight pulleys in all of our race and track cars at work and they have k series engines and we all know k series aren't the
strongest engines, we have never had a problem caused by lightweight pulleys
they will probably cost about £45 including postage.
i am just waiting for final words from a few people before i decide the definitive price but im not looking to make a much money on these just i
wanted one for mine and they all seem to be about £60-£90 so maybe able to help other people out by selling them cheap.

Apparently it will fit, but requires a little trimming to the inside of the plastic belt cover (if still used). I have a silvertop myself, and could
be tempted with a lighter one.
