Unless you want to go through a lot of batteries and drain the life of your alternator, I would stick with the stock pullies.

My friend was on his third battery in 1yr 1/2 between his AEM pullies, and his sub.

Go with unorthodox. I have had no problems with mine. They have the best quality.

Is this the same Yoda that is here?

Don't get an underdrive pulley. Underdriven pulleys are overrated. Ones on the crank generally lack the dynamic balancer Honda supplied to help protect the main bearings.

The B20 isn't an UNDERDRIVE pulley, its an OVERDRIVE pulley, and can be wonderfully useful if you have a Jackson Racing supercharger (it increases the boost - duh). It could also come in handy if your alternator is not putting enough current out for your accessories at idle. Anyway, just my $0.02

Uh....depends on which Yoda, and from where!

Thanks on the B20 pulley. I counldn't remember why someone would put a pulley from a B20 onto a B16.

I'll stay stock for now. This also has to do with Solo2 classification. Some say it's legal in STS, and some say it's not legal. I dunno. I'll stay stock for now.

I got the same advice on pulleys, most will do more harm than good, tear up your bearings. No fun unless you wanna destroy your engine before a swap.
