Any advice guys? Macht Schnell or Dinan underdrive pulley kits
Hey guys, just wondering which kit provides better performance and overall reliability. These are the only two I have seen so far, any other companies besides these two make underdrive pulleys for an E92 ///M3? Thanks guys.

Lots of companies make pulleys. Turner, Rogue, AA, etc.
IMO, I can't recommend the Dinan pulley. The double-sided belt is impossibly tight and makes installing it a complete PITA. |

I have a turner on 1 car and a Dinan on the other. I couldn't really tell you which performs better. Both are well made and don't make any noise over stock.

I have built cars from the ground up, fully built motors, painted cars, etc... I spent 3 days attempting to get a Dinan pulley on my car and tossed in the towel. It didn't help when Dinan themselves admitted to me that there have been cars their own techs couldn't get the double sided belt over the pulley. I went with MS pulleys in the end. |

Of course, the best mod for any car will be the driver but since you mentioned that this will make no gains, how come so many people dyno'ed before and after the pulley and got positive results? Cheers!

I run the Rogue. Bought it used on the forum and have run it for 2-3 years now without any issue. Cannot tell you the gains. I agree with the basic logic that if the claim is it adds 10 rwhp by underdriving 15% then eliminating all accessories would allow the engine to make like 60 rwhp more. Still, I at least imagined I felt something after installing it. I imagine I am a race car driver sometimes, too.

Take a look at our kit. You can expect about 10rwhp with the pulleys alone. Even more if you add the software to the equation |

On these cars, adding pulleys isn't just about the "whp" figure. Alleviating drag on the engine helps the car rev with just a little less effort. I did this mod for the increased "driveability". The "added power" was a bonus.
+1 for MS as they don't underdrive the A/C unit, have a power steering pulley to reduce stress on that particular component, and use over-the-counter belts that can be purchased from your neighborhood parts store. (FYI - Dinan and AA both require special belts sold from the tuner of your choice.) |
