Product Description

The ALTA AMP-ENG-500 Lightened Crank Pulley is engineered to enhance the performance of your 2002-2006 MINI Cooper S (R53) and 2004-2008 MINI Cooper S Convertible (R52) equipped with the 1.6L Supercharged engine. By reducing the rotating mass of the crankshaft assembly, this pulley improves throttle response and acceleration, providing a more engaging driving experience.

Constructed from high-quality 6061-T6 billet aluminum, the ALTA pulley weighs just 0.65 lbs - over 2.3 lbs lighter than the stock pulley. This reduction in weight is effectively the same as removing 60 lbs from your vehicle, translating to improved engine efficiency and responsiveness. The pulley maintains the stock size (0% overdrive), ensuring that the supercharger operates within its optimal parameters without compromising charging system performance.

The black anodized finish not only enhances the pulley's appearance but also provides increased durability and resistance to corrosion. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, the ALTA AMP-ENG-500 pulley installs easily without the need for modifications, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to enhance their MINI's performance.
