Default Any R&D on Pulleys...?

This might be the next mod for us tuners. Any rumors, discussions or R&D for the F on this product?

The last thing you want to do is disturb the harmonic balance of the already well engineered 2UR-GSE. Especially with Toyota and Yamaha involved.

We have no plans to make parts for the IS-F, if 40 owners would be willing to do a group buy we would be willing to make a part.

Thanks for your question,

Just as well.....The gains would be very marginal, I'm sure, and not worth the risk of affecting engine resonance..

Valid point was just wondering how much more power you could squeeze with a pulley upgrade. 10whp?

Hey Joe is there any difference between ours F and the M cars on this pulleys , cause there are many companies out there selling this pulleys specially for the cranckshaft. They even claim horsepower increase on the 10-15hp margin.
What will be the main difference on our cars?
