I agree I have the powerbond kit, mostly for the balancer but the underdrive is good, only thing I notice is the steering gets slightly heavier if the revs drop at idle, we bumped up the idle a bit to counteract this. Bf1 stock bottom end 385rwkw

Correct if you have an x-cal3 bumping the idle to 800rpm fixes this...

hey guys seems the underdrive pulley is a must have for an n/a

searched the forum and read as much as I could hah

but still have a few more question :)

where have you guys purchased your underdrive pulley kits from?what brand?

had a look on ebay found one from a seller tuffcar parts, brand (powerbond).

also read about 20% and 25% kits but can only seem to find the 20%....which ones do you reccomend?

what should I expect to pay?

and lastly is it a DIY job, or will I have to have it installed...watched a vid on you tube and seemed pretty easy lol

cheers justin

Iv looked at one too.. Powerbond is reputable. And yes prob worth it. My.mate has a powerbond underdrive kit on his mk2 gt... Revs pick up fair bit quicker.

The balancer is at least half the weight of the factory balancer.

If you are unsure. Look at atomics balancer

they are the best and you can never go wrong with any of there products.

As for the removal. Yes quite easy however you do need a special tool to remove the balancer. Normal balancer pullers are too big and or dont lock in behind it properly and.you will fk it up.

So guys, im looking at fitting an 20% Underdrive Pulley, I seen that video at CV Performance, and that car made 9.5rwkw?

Has anyone else seen these figures? Is it worth the money?

And also, because I do not want to make another topic..

The Fibreglass FPV Front and Rear Bumper?

Has anybody had any experience with these?

If Fibreglass is a no, does anyone know where to buy plastic ones? Cheers.

What car is it in mate? If its a turbo don't do it. It's not worth it, it can actually damage the engine

I kinda see it like putting lighter wheels on your car.. reducing rotating mass some what attached to the crank.

Could it be that simple?
