Alu crank pulley.. are they good?
Agreed. And it is also worth remembering that, with the exception of a
few premium models, modern cars are not designed for extended periods of operation at maximum output. Typical driving conditions only allow for short bursts of full power (overtaking), followed by longer periods of running at part throttle. Extended operation at full power will exceed the cooling capacity of heat generating parts, engine, gearbox, brakes and differential. I have seen it many times in 6 hour endurance races for standard production cars. Even on cars carefully prepared for racing, after 2 or 3 hours the failures will begin to occur. Overheated engines with blown head gaskets, seized gearboxes and brakes no longer working. That is why dedicated race cars are built with stronger components, and designed from the ground up to handle the loads imposed by racing conditions. Its a balancing act Not just a question of adding parts at random, and hoping that they will give more performance without making a problem somewhere else. Cheers... jondee86 |
