I just took pics of my next secret mod and it came out absolutely amazing. You guys aren't gonna believe it when you see it. This will revolutionize modding for our cars and this is only step 1 . Unfortunately its not 100% ready to unveil yet but once it is you guys are gonna be foaming at the mouth for one. Its about time somebody actually came out with some mods that will actually do something on our cars . I should be able to unveil it by end of next week. I will ofcourse give you guys special discount and a potential group buy, but for now... you are just gonna have to wait
my guess, its an intake setup right??? thats the next thing our cars need!!!
Aj
actually no, but that is on the back burner as well lol. Man so many ideas my head is about to explode. But no worries I will have spy pics coming soon
P.S. as if you can't tell already, i love torturing people with suspense & anticipation
considering the quality and the final outcome, it will be well worth the $$. Im thinking around $500-550 for good solid compromise free gains. Very reasonable compared to alot of other mods that promise to add HP but fail to deliver in the real world.
ok fine, the anticipation is killing me as well haha. ... here is a sneak peek. you guys are the first to get a look at the next generation of lightweight pulleys. This is the world's FIRST harmonic dampened lightweight aluminum crankshaft pulley (12 months in the making!!). This has to be the nicest aftermarket pulley ever manufactured, it even has the timing marks etched onto the pulley and is 100% harmonically dampenend. And the best part all you E55 NA guys are going to be able to buy it soon . This truly is history in the making (and if you think this is crazy just wait and see what ELSE i have in store )
Specific model shown is E55k but yours will be same design just without supercharger belt. thx
My goal for these is 10-15 WHEEL HP & torque throughout the ENTIRE powerband (not just peaky high end power like the evo sport accessory pulley kit). If you really want max power you can actually get both (I kept my design stock for this very reason so it can be used with or without evo sport kit).
I have a decent technical background (math, tube amplifiers, just not in automotive).

edit: Found the following explanation of harmonic dampening....makes sense. This explanation was for a stock Mitsubishi engine component. Nothing stock on the E55?
As your vehicle’s engine starts to operate, it creates torsional vibration that can affect its operation and the vehicle’s performance as well. Hence, the said vibration has to be dampened. And the best way to do this is to employ a harmonic balancer. Otherwise known as torsional damper, crank pulley damper, or vibration damper, the harmonic balancer is a mechanism that’s connected to the engine’s crankshaft to significantly trim down torsional vibration. This device can help extend the service life of your vehicle’s engine by preventing or reducing wear on the main journals and main bearings as well as thwarting crankshaft failure.
When the cylinders start to fire, torque is passed on to the crankshaft. The front portion of the crankshaft takes the impact of the said power so it usually moves before the crankshaft’s rear. This is what causes a twisting motion. As the power is taken off the front, the shaft that’s halfway twisted will unwind and will snap back in reverse direction. And eventhough the said unwinding process is just small, it produces torsional vibration. So to put off the said vibration, a harmonic balancer is installed to the crankshaft’s front part. This vibration damper is basically made up of two elements – the mass and the energy dissipating elements. The mass is responsible for resisting the acceleration of the vibration while the energy dissipating element is the one that takes in the vibrations.
The automotive harmonic balancer consists of three components. Its inner part is the one that’s fastened to the crankshaft while the center component is the rubber ring dampening the crankshaft vibration. The damper’s outer part has timing marks as well as pulley cuts for the belts. As the power coming from the cylinder strikes the front portion of the crankshaft, it attempts to twist the heavy portion of the harmonic balancer. However, it often ends up twisting the discs or the rubber connecting the damper’s two components.
