This crank pulley is phenomenal. The stock Mini damper pulley is going to fail, usually be 60,000-80,000 miles. This replacement makes the engine run super smooth, so much so that sitting at a traffic light at idle, you can't even tell the engine is running.

Advantages: Smooth running engine. You're going to have to replace the stock damper pulley. You might as replace it with this one.

Disadvantages: You do have to pull the original Mini damper off, but it's not too difficult.

Details

The ATI Super Damper Crank pulley is the way to go if your stock crank pulley has self destructed. While the Alta and Cravenspeed crank pulleys are GREAT options and will be light weight, and cost a lot less, they do not have the dampening capabilities of the ATI Super Damper when installed on your MINI Cooper S. The stock crank pulley on the MINI is notorious for failing and when it does it takes a few prisoners like the belt tensioner, the belt and some times other important and expensive. It's sort of a ticking time bomb and no one knows when it will blow up but they fail enough that ATI and others like Alta and Cravenspeed have stepped up to make lightweight aftermarket solutions that save nearly 5 pounds of unsprung weight. If you can't swing the cash for the ATI, the other crank pulleys on the market (that we also offer) are great alternatives. While these non dampened pulleys do not have the dampener integrated as the ATI does, it may lead to some extra wear on the crankshaft bearings. To date, I do not recall seeing a failed bearing that has been 100% linked to a non dampened crank pulley but it is likely that a non dampened pulley may produce extra wear over many thousands of miles. There is NO weight savings in going with the ATI over a replacement OEM crank pulley (but please don't waste your money on the OEM part...).

This unit weighs in at 5lbs 7 ounces.
Available in standard and oversized to suit your needs. ATI Super Damper Crank Pulley for the MINI Cooper is 5.5” damper and works on the Mini Cooper standard and S engines. This new design is a direct replacement for the stock OEM Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S damper from 2001 through 2006.

The heart of this unit is the tried and true “damper within a damper” design that has put ATI ahead of the rest. The outer shell has been machined to allow OEM serpentine belt locations, and includes laser-etched timing marks.

Eliminates torsional crankshaft vibrations Exceeds SFI 18.1 specs Laser etched 360° timing marks Black zinc chromate finished

Love your business and your attempt to service MINI owners. One suggestion for you. When you feature a produce on the front of your emails each time, you should explain just exactly what the part is, what it does, and why a MINI owner would want to replace something on their car with it. All of us are not mechanics and might not recognize a picture of a part. As you do the site now, you always put these things in there and the copy is written as though everyone knows exactly what the part is for.

Another idea, what are the types of things that many MINI owners can do with their cars in terms of customization. Your site is so vast and the number of ideas so large, it's hard for the average person to get their arms around what you offer and why we should buy. You write as though we already know what we want when we come to your site. In actuality, many MINI owners who are not car-savvy don't even know what they might be looking for.

I hope this is helpful.

Best.

Out Motoring deserves kudos for their service! I was prepping for a road trip when less than two weeks prior I decided to upgrade two engine mounts and install a short shift adapter in my R53. Aaron and Brittany were hugely helpful in getting me ready! Brittany was able to find the mounts I wanted in stock, and Aaron helped me with info on the short shifter I was looking at. Brittany helped me again when I changed my mind, by modifying my order on the fly. They got the components to me in four days - plenty of lead time before my scheduled installation appointment and well in advance of the trip. BIG Thanks to Out Motoring for their help. This outfit will be at the top of my vendor list for future maintenance and upgrade needs.

I have had nothing but GREAT experiences with ordering! At first I thought I just got lucky with the speed of processing and receiving my orders! Not the case! It's nice that there's still companies that care about the customer and are just as excited to send you the parts as you are to order them! Thank you OM crew!
