What other mods would be needed to go with this Underdrive crank pulley or will it be safe to install this???

eBay.co.uk: 01-05 BMW Mini Cooper Underdrive Crank Pulley 02 03 04 (item 140047124935 end time 05-Nov-06 12:17:03 GMT)

Whats the point in underdriving a Cooper?!?!?!?!?

The only thing that is going to spin faster are the aircon and the alternator! It could just be a lightweight version but underdrive is pointless on a cooper!

It also breaks my rule of "too cheap to be of any good"

I imagine it's intended for the S. But the ad is carefully worded to include Cooper, as no refunds are given and no fitting instructions are supplied.
There is also the question of fitting an aluminium pulley direct to a steel shaft - asking for trouble?
As already pointed out it's too cheap to be true.
Personally, I wouldn't (indeed I'm not going to) buy it.

Doesn't look much like an S crank pulley?!?!?!?!

Con I rekon, it'll just weld itself to your steel shaft! lol

...the pulley shown is nothing like a One/Cooper pulley or an 'S' pulley so if this is it , it won't fit anyway. This is a good design feature because if it did fit , 'underdrive ' crank pulleys makes the supercharger (MCS) go slower so you lose power , & the alternator slower so you get a flat battery,and on the One/Cooper the water pump goe's slower too so you overheat & blow up the engine. I'm ordering 10

It does say " Never been Tried or Installed". Must mean any of them
