Ultra Street Lightened Underdrive Crank Pulleys
An idea or a need arrises. The
result? Unorthodox Racing Ultra Street lightened underdrive crank pulleys.
Our pulleys are CNC-machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum billet.
Premium U.S. made 6061-T6 aluminum billet ensures the consistency of the
material's strength and balance. Tolerances are held to within .001", and
numerous machining steps are used to ensure the lightest possible design.
In addition to fit, finish is just as important and each piece is
representative of this. Every pulley is inspected multiple times from
machining to anodizing to stocking and finally at shipping time. If at any
point a pulley does not pass inspection it is pulled from production.
Unorthodox Racing lightened underdrive crank pulleys on average can
provide gains of 5 to 12 HP and 4 to 8 lbs.-ft. on normally aspirated
engines and 8 to 16 HP and 8 to 18 lbs.-ft. on forced induction engines.
Higher gains are possible. For example, a Nissan 300ZX twin-turbo saw
gains as high as 37 HP and 45 lbs.- ft. on the dyno just by replacing the
stock crank pulley with our Ultra S lightened underdrive crank pulley.
Power gains are obtained in two ways. First, and most important, is the
weight loss. An average of 2.7 HP is gained from every pound lost off the
crank shaft. 85% of our gains are from weight loss.
The rest of the gains are from underdriving, which accounts for about 15%
of the total gains. We do not push underdriving for two main reasons. Our
main reason is to keep charging systems, air conditioning, power steering,
and water pumps moving fast enough for every day driving. Second, not much
horsepower is gained from extreme underdriving. In most applications all
of our underdriving is done with the crank pulley, not the accessory
pulleys. This is done so maximum weight loss can be achieved at the crank
where most of the horsepower gains are found.
