Thats expensive man, i think UUC pullies are cheaper. But ive never heard of them so i dunno. Underdrive pullies are designed to have a lighter mass over stock allowing the belt to spin free'er (sp?).

Dude, understeer.com offers UUC underdrive pullies for $175, with FREE shipping. That's a hell of a lot better.

I heard the unorthodox ones are a bit better, but for the difference in price, i would go with UUC.

Agreed. I have the UUC pulleys and am happy with them. The difference in mine and those pulleys would probably not even be noticable.

Not exactly . . well, yes they're lighter, and that's a plus. But more importantly, they're slightly larger in diameter than stock pulleys, making it easier for the crankshaft to turn them. The result is a reduction of parasitic drag, and a slower rotating speed for your accessories without any adverse effect. Simple physics

Well I've heard quite a bit about these guys. They are one of the top companies when it comes to pullies. It's pretty much how much your willing to spend. If you want top notch and price isnt an issue go unorthadox if you want some decently good pullies go with uuc, its personal preferance. G/L with buy

i wouldnt call it simple. but thanks for explaining it

humn, i see but uuc only offers the fan pulley abd the oil pump and a baby one for the alternator if u choose, this kit comes with all 4. still not a good deal >?

**94bmw325i** · 09-27-2005, 08:27 PM

whats the other one a crank pulley or something? If so you can buy a good quality used one from other forums for around $100 so it would still work out cheaper.

**defkon99** · 09-27-2005, 09:05 PM

humn tru tru,, id go for the UUC but all they have is the Black and well i kind of like the polished look.

**94bmw325i** · 09-27-2005, 09:18 PM

go with unorthodox then, I hear that package is definetely worth it, maybe you could get a group buy on bimmer forums and get it for even cheaper?

**defkon99** · 09-27-2005, 09:57 PM

yea would be nice thang,,..
im currently buying parts to do the following all at once:

1.Fan Delete (2 bottles of watter wetter, New 80C thermostat, 80c fan switch) Purchased

2. Metal Impellar Waterpump,Including new belts, also the Aluminum thermostat housing Purchased

3. Power pulley Upgrade Purchase pending

that seems like way too much for pullies. i would either get a uri crank pulley or uuc or eurosport high performance pullies. i have the eurosport pullies and they are great.
