MPx Lightweight Underdrive Pulley Kit, 2012+ Fiat 500 Abarth / 2013-16 Dart 1.4L/Renegade 1.4L
Model Number: 226126-KIT
Would you like to pick up another 6-8 HP and additional torque at the wheels in your 2012+ Fiat 500 Turbo / 2013+ Dart 1.4L and Renegade 1.4 Turbo.
Would you like to have an improved throttle response, and a LOT more fun driving your 1.4L turbo engine Fiat / Dart / Renegade?
If so, this is a great bolt on item for you!
We were the very first company to make a lightweight pulley for the 1.4 turbo engine. We've also tested nearly 7 different size/weight prototypes to make sure we have the absolute perfect pulley kit for you!
Here are the facts:
- The stock pulley weighs in at 3.35 lbs, and the MPx lightweight underdrive pulley weighs in at 1.8 lbs. Saving nearly 1.6 lbs of sprung mass off of the crankshaft allows for a quicker revving engine, and less power loss spinning dead weight!
- We were able to underdrive the accesories by 20% without affecting the AC and alternator.
This means less power is robbed from the crankshaft for the ac and alternator, but both still function fine. We are still getting good cold ac, and a good charge from the alternator, and again, no check engine lights.
- We gained solid horsepower and torque across the entire rpm range, not just power up top, or on bottom! This will make a difference you can feel.
- This pulley kit is consists of an outer billet pulley, tone wheel, longer crank pulley bolts, and a Gates belt. When changing the pulleys out, the 1.4L has an allignment guide pin with offset mounting holes that will make it impossible to install incorrectly. Installation is not difficult and any good mechanic, or home mechanic should be able to install this in under an hour with basic hand tools all from within the passenger side wheel well.
- This kit is all American made. We have an outer aluminum pulley thats hard anodized for long life and great looks, and a trigger wheel thats made out of steel and is zinc coated. We also provide a brand new Gates belt and three bolts in this kit for you.
- We have been machining crankshaft pulleys since 2000, and have tons of experience with them. This means that we know what is necessary for correct hard coatings for long term use, and whats necessary for no check engine lights, etc.
