Default Will this have any impact on Perfomance?

from SMCKA performance..
Quote:
New, billet machined steel crank pulley to suit all XFlow. Not riveted like standard version and can withstand higher revs for longer. This is 4" diameter so is smaller than standard but this will reduce cavitation by the water pump at high revs. You even get Burton Power stamped into it!

i just want to know if it will make any difference to the performance of the car?

*note going on 1300 Kent Crossflow HC

Depends what you classify as performance robdog x-p. Sure sounds like it will perform better if just in the looks department.

These steel crank pulleys are a must for a high performance crossflow, especially if you are regularly taking them to high revs, as the standard ones aren't up to the task of a modified engine and can just let go. Fitting one of these to a standard or mild road engine won't really have any effect on performance as such. They are more a reliability item.

Cheers
