have anyone with unorthodox pulleys (crank, power steer, alt) notice any gains when you installed it? after i installed mine my car got way slower. thanx.

 

maybe cause u drive and auto? (shrugs) i dont know but glad to hear your car got slower only for that fact that finally theres negative feedback about the pulley set..im looking to throw a set in my ls but i want more pros and cons on them...

do u plan on removing them?

 

Reason for negative feedback on that particular pulley set, is the stock crank pulley is replaced. The stock crank pulley is also the harmonic balancer.

 

i wanna know more about this too!

Unless you did something extremely wrong with the installation, there is simply no way that the engine would be making less power with the pulleys.

 

i can't believe for a minute that your car got slower... maybe it is the auto transmission... i got them on my 98 LS and i LOVE them... i notice real nice gains. I would recommend them to anybody. My brother and my 2 friends have nissans and they got them and all love them to... for 300.00 bucks its definetly worth it. plus your accessories last longer and you get better gas mileage. I also have a stereo in the car and my lights don't dim or nothing... people will say don't buy them they don't do anything and they dim lights in your car... well they are wrong... i say order them now!!!!!

 

you lost power? thats f*cked up... i'm gettin those installed right now, i'll tell you later after i get them installed if i lost power or not which i doubt i will. Oh yeah after installing the new belts, would it be a better idea to re-tighten them after breaking in the belts or leave it the way it is..?

 

i noticed a nice 8 hp gain from them.

 

is there any proof of your car getting slower?

 

with my i/h/e i hung with my friend's accord v6 on the freeway(gunning the pedal at 80mph), then like a week later i installed the pulleys, raced the same car, gunned it at 80mph, and he just took off, it felted like my car was stock or something.

 

hey dk4200 what kind of header do u have? 4-1? or 4-2-1? thanx

 

hey xtremecartuner, did you get the aem pulley kit or the ur?

 

i've heard crap about it not being good to replace the crank pully b/c it has the harmonic balencer in it. true or not

True, the crank pulley has the harmonic balancer in it. It is debated on both sides whether it will hurt the engine to remove it.

 

does any body have proof either way. i'd like to get them but nt at the cost of having to buy a new motor down the road

 

had my pulleys in for about 2 months now, no problems. honda motors come balanced really well from the factory and the UR pulleys are balanced to extremes
