Give your M157 5.5L BiTurbo the belt drive it deserves. This 63 AMG 5-Piece Idler Pulley Set – Billet Upgrade for M157 V8 Bi-Turbo replaces aging factory plastic or stamped pulleys with a complete set of CNC-machined billet aluminum idlers, built to handle tuned power levels, heat, and long-term use.

The OEM idler pulleys on the M157 AMG V8 are known to wear, crack, or fail over time—especially on tuned cars. Factory units can cause belt slip, squeal, inconsistent boost, and in severe cases full belt failure that can take out accessories or leave you stranded. This billet set solves that problem with stronger materials, better bearings, and smoother rotation designed for real AMG use.

🔧 Key Features – Billet Idler Pulley Set for M157

  • CNC-machined billet aluminum: Replaces weak plastic or stamped pulleys with rigid, high-strength aluminum built for heat and boost.
  • Hard-anodized finish: Corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant coating for long service life in harsh engine bay conditions.
  • ZZ-rated Nachi high-speed bearings: Premium bearings for smooth, quiet operation and excellent longevity.
  • Complete 5-piece coverage: Includes all five main idler locations to refresh the entire M157 belt path in one kit.
  • Direct OEM replacement: No modifications required—bolts in place of the factory pulleys using OEM-style locations.
  • Improved belt tracking: Helps maintain consistent accessory drive and stable boost on tuned or hard-driven AMGs.
  • Made in the USA by ASP Performance: Manufactured to motorsport-grade standards for serious M157 builds.

📈 Performance & Reliability Benefits

  • Reduces belt slip and noise caused by worn or failing factory pulleys.
