Hey, l am putting together my CA18DET l bought for Lada engine swap and was looking at sourcing / fitting a lightened Crank Pulley. Is there much benefit to using lightened pulley ? Meant to improve throttle response and ‘reduce the rotating mass and uneseccary strain during hard acceleration. I have read a couple of posts though which reckon they can cause ‘balance’ issues with crank. I have a decent condition pulley, minus the front piece, has had a ‘trigger wheel fitted for Crank position sensor, could just take this to machine shop and get excess shaved off, l am not running power steering pump so don’t need the front pulley..
This is my first time putting a CA together so trying to learn as I go !
Any advice appreciated, cheers
