It is a well-known issue on the BMW N54/55 platforms that your serpentine belt can fail for various reasons. When this happens, there is a high chance of the belt getting sucked behind the front damper pulley and then being pushed past the crank seal into your oil pan. From there it can get sucked into the oil pick up causing total engine failure. Even if you do not lose the engine, it is a COSTLY repair to remove the sub-frame and drop the oil pan to remove the belt. The best way to combat this is to watch for oil leaks and keep up on your maintenance. BUT, even with those preventative measures, pre-mature belt failure can occur. This crank seal guard installs over your front crank seal and will keep the belt from being sucked in if a belt failure does occur. This is a cheap way to ensure you do not end up having to replace your motor from oil starvation due to an ingested belt. Vargas' seal is different from those already on market in two major ways. Firstly, it is not offensively priced. Secondly, it is 100% billet with no welds on the tabs to break, no cheap bent thin steel pieces. 100% Billet 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized black for long-term corrosion resistance. Crank Seal Guard includes: One VTT Billet N54/55 Crank Seal Guard Two extended 12.9 Grade bolts, and two stainless washers We highly recommend you install WITH a crank bolt capture at the same time, as you have to remove the damper anyway. Then you will get the benefit of helping eliminate the dreaded spun crank hub and the crank seal issue

If you are breaking crankshafts and oil pumps, the cause may be a mystery to you as it has been to many of our customers. We know that controlling the harmonic resonance of the BMW 6 is highly important as RPMs rise, but the ideal configuration of the inline-6 motor makes even experienced engine builders overlook some fundamental principals of engine harmonics that can be destructive. ATI Performance Products has partnered with VAC Motorsports to develop new dampers for BMW 2.5L, 2.8L, 3.0L and 3.2L straight-6 engines found in the E36 and E46 M3, E9X and E6X, as well as newer Z3s and Z4s. These dampers eliminate crankshaft harmonic vibration, which allows the engine to produce more horsepower and torque, while also reducing internal engine wear at the same time. Broken oil pumps and timing chains will be a thing of the past! When used with a VAC accessory pulley, these dampers are a direct replacement over the OEM balancer. They have a 7” outer diameter and include OEM style timing alignment tabs. BMW enthusiasts should know that all ATI Super Dampers exceed SFI 18.1 Safety Certification and are approved for competition. The advantages of the ATI SuperDamper include eliminating vibration issues with inline 6 engines equipped with lightweight clutch and flywheel assemblies, reduced bearing, engine accessories, oil pump wear, and compatibility with underdrive pulleys. Made in the USA.

The OE crank bolts are grade 10 torque-to-yield bolts, designed for only a single use. For vehicles making stock power, the stock bolts are more than enough. Unfortunately, vehicles making more power than stock have experienced issues with the stock damper bolts coming loose and breaking, leading to engine and crank damage. 5150 AutoSport worked with ARP to create this ARP Harmonic Damper Bolt Set to address this issue. These upgraded bolts are stronger than the factory bolts and are designed to provide even repeatable torque load, preventing them from breaking and allowing them to be re-torqued as needed.

M7 Speed 4% Oversize Crankshaft Pulley for MINI Cooper

Unlocking Performance

The M7 Speed 4% oversize crankshaft pulley is your ticket to unlocking the hidden potential of your MINI Cooper. This performance-enhancing pulley is designed to add power, acceleration, and overall performance to your beloved MINI. Here's how it does the trick:

Performance Boost:

  • Safely speeds up your supercharger, delivering a significant "low end" boost and torque.
  • The result? Your MINI Cooper takes off with newfound energy and responsiveness.

Lightweight Advantage:

  • Weighing just 13 ounces, this pulley is a remarkable 88.5% lighter than the factory version.
  • Reduced crankshaft rotational mass equals more horsepower, torque, and improved throttle response.

Advanced Design

The M7 Speed 4% Crank Pulley isn't just about performance; it's also a work of art. Crafted with advanced computer modeling and precision CNC machining, it's a blend of form and function:

Materials:

  • Made in the USA from billet 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy.
  • Features a deep black anodized coating and laser etching for a sleek look.

Precision Machining:

  • Micro V-Belt grooves meet SAE J1459 specifications to minimize belt slippage, especially at maximum boost.

Optimal Fit:

Use it in conjunction with the M7 Speed 16% Supercharger Technology Pulley for peak performance in MINI tuning.

Reliable Performance

From the factory, MINI lacks a positive drive key on the crankshaft snout to drive the lower pulley. Most aftermarket pulleys are slip-fit and rely on the bolt to prevent slippage. The M7 Speed crank pulley is engineered differently:

Interference Fit:

The pulley is interference-fit onto the crankshaft, ensuring zero slippage even at high RPMs.

Features at a Glance:

  • Super Lightweight: Only 13 ounces (0.3 kg)
  • Sheds 6.2 lbs (2.8 kg) compared to stock
  • Achieves perfect balance through a symmetric design and precision machining
  • Includes a high-quality ARP Racing bolt and precision ground flat washer
  • Installation is a breeze

Unleash Your MINI's Potential

Proudly made in the USA, the M7 Speed 4% Oversize Crankshaft Pulley is the upgrade your MINI Cooper deserves. Unleash its hidden power and enjoy a new level of performance, reliability, and overall driving pleasure. Get ready to experience the difference.
