Default Benefit of after market pulleys
What is it on a 1.6l non-vtec SOHC motor? I am wanting to upgrade is there a power increase?

more like a slightly peppier feeling engine and increased chance of a spun bearing. you only get very slight whp gains. not worth it imo. lightened flywheel is the way to go.

i wouldn't waste money on the SOHC non-vtec...

get a b16 or b18b engine and then work from there (if still unsatisfied)
