Why should it wear the timing belt faster? It's not even driving or being
driven by the timing belt.

Both crank timing gear and the crank pulley are driven directly by the
crankshaft.

Might sound bias but there's no other brand other than Mythelogy
Lightened Dampened Crank Pulley that i will recommend.

drex,

what makes the Mythelogy Crank Pulley better than other aftermarket crank
pulleys?

how much does the thing + installation cost?

I am considering one, but not so soon la.

I am not expected to make a sales here but since you ask..

It's the only light weight pulley that comes with an elastomer insert as
vibration dampener (like our OEM pulley) and is within our budget.

Machined out from a homogeneous block of 6-series aluminum alloy billet.
Balancing checked or reject. Optimized weight reduction.

Dyno proven for improving engine efficiency. Without sacrifying charging
& a/c efficiency as the size is exactly same as OEM pulley.

I think he means the auxilary belts. Not the timing belt.

Belt wearing also depends on the machining quality and surface
preparation of the pulley. If the groove aren't out of shape or too sharp
and it's hard anodized, it should be just as good as steel pulley in term
of belt wearing.

i've been using the pulley mentioned by drex for quite some time
now.......not only do the revs climb faster, in some cases when i'm not
wacking the car, i actually save fuel too.......

drex,

do you have a distributor in penang? i know a lot of people in penang in
interested, but we can't drive to KL just to install the LCP.
