yes, there is underdrive/lightwieght pullies out there, however I am not a huge fan.

yes they can make a bit of a difference, no they won't let you beat NSX's at the stoplight drags. Ok might if its one of the worthless automatic targa models, but you know what I mean.

Oh and if you are going with a manual conversion with a light flywheel, I REALLY don't advise going nuts on light crank pullies. CEL, stalls, etc will become your SVX's defining attributes.

I run a wrx lighted pulley on my car. It did require trimming the timing belt cover a little.

The STi pulley is heavier than the WRX pulley. My STi chucked its crankpully dude to a lose crank bolt while on a road trip and got replaced by a WRX one. Thanks to that coupled with the lightwieght twinplate clutch assembly, it started to throw misfire codes like mad.

When I wieghed them the STi one was about 1/2 a pound heavier.

The lightest I've seen was well under a pound for a magnesium pulley. Mind the heavy STi is something like 4lbs so....

Don't quote these as exact but off of NASIOC. The WRX stock pulley is about 5lbs (NASIOC). The WRX STI pulley is about 5.5lbs (NASIOC). I have personally weighed and confirmed off of Motorsport Warehouse the SVX pulley is under 5lbs. In general the stock or aftermarket pulleys that fit on 98-01 Impreza RS, 02-07 WRX, 04-07 WRX STI maybe even other models fit the SVX. If I were you I would find a stock pulley from a SVX or if you are doing it for performance buy one from Motorsports Warehouse (www.planetsvx.com) to be sure.
