VK45 - FX45 Lightweight Pulleys

[Logan]

Just one arm (you get to pick which one) no leg.

If you're right handed, I highly recommend you chop off the left one... Just sayin ...

I don't own a 45 but I'm tempted to add my self to this group buy just to have 2 of this since is a one time only groupbuy..

On the other hand thanks to Nate for looking out for the 45ers.. They needed some love..

Update: I'm hoping to get the OEM pulley from OC Infiniti today or tomorrow, then I'm personally driving it out to the engineer to get him started on the drawings ASAP. I'm HOPING for specs and pricing by the middle of next week.

Nate, you probably get the question all the time but how much HP/TQ well this free up? Any ball park figure?

Thanks,
Chris

Love to see FX45's finally have numbers to start modding.

I love this question. Truthfully, I don't know. What's really funny is that this number will vary depending on how much power you're already putting down and supporting mods. I'd estimate in the 5-10 HP range. What's awesome about mods like this one is that you'll actually notice a difference.

Stuff like intakes make power, but actually feeling it is usually more related to sound than anything else. When you lower the massive a rotating object, the resistance to acceleration goes down. So in this case, power is a byproduct. Acceleration is what we're actually making!

I know you are in the process of "making acceleration" for our 45's
I speak for all of us when I beg... when?
Obviously, we will continue to wait patiently.
Please, keep us posted.
Peace Out

Well, since I was just asked to do this about 2 weeks ago...it's going to take some time. The OEM pulley should be in tomorrow. I'm going to take it out to the Engineer to have it drawn up. I'm going to be throwing in a couple of minor changes to it that doesn't apply to the VQ. I'm thinking a week to draw it up. A week to get deposits. And probably 4-6 to actually get it made.

Spread the word on this guys and we'll make sure the price is right!

I'm thrilled, can't wait! Just no more cheap shots about intakes:mad.:j/k:wink (2):n/r:tongue (2):If you before and after dyno, so will I...:fight:

Be careful what you wish for man. You may have to spin balance your intake on a lathe... :tonguey:

Heck, there is a AWD dyno near you, two I believe. One in Plainfield other in Naperville.

One even has a dynopack to get consistent runs.

I will get a dyno done, but only after all my mods. No time for before/after.
