...and I did a search and came up with nothing!
what is the best set to buy?? I've looked at AEM. I was going to just get the power steering and alternator pulleys, but when I was searching I saw alot of posts about the crank pulley. Obviously alot of ppl have these. Should I get the whole set including the crank pulley? Is this a good idea? advice please!
thanks

i've asked the same question before. with i/h/e only, awhole set is not worth it. Maybe just a crank pulley. Some have even suggested just grabbing the pulley from a B20 out of a CR-V, but that's for my B16A2 in my Civic Si.

I wish i could help more.

 

karl got a set....don't know if he ever got the alternator pulley on or not! did it help you out at all?? seems like it did at the drag strip
the thing is I need new belts and my mechanic is going to put those on and he said he could install the pulleys for me, so I was wondering which ones to get? I know that installing pulleys can be a bitch.
but they aren't any good?? I should just get a crank pulley? why??
I don't know much about these things and I am trying to learn all I can so an explanation would be helpful. thanks

 

There is this big debate whether or not the pulleys are harmonically balanced. I for one believe that Honda did a pretty good job internally balancing their motors.

I would look into Unorthodox Racing pulley set. Other than their Cold Air Intake, I'm not a big fan of anything else AEM.


BTW:
I can't believe that we would
Lie in our graves
Wondering if we had
Spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would
Lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we
Might have been

AEM Power steering and Alternator pulleys will help increase throttle response and maybe give a couple of horsepower.. I have no problems with them.. But I definiteley wouldn't get all three. Just these two, or the crank pulley.

 

I saw the underdrive pulley set by Unortho Racing, but what does that include?? It has like 5 pulleys?? sorry....I am a bit

and BTW:
"Oh I watch you there
through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well"

 

5!!! OMG....not sure.

BTW
When you look into a mirror
Do you like what's looking at you?
Now that you've seen your true reflections
What on earth are you gonna do?

Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you

 

AEM Underdrive pulleys include just the 2, and a new belt .. not the crank pulley.

 

does anyone know what the Unorthodox Kit includes.....it just says Underdrive pulley kit....and it shows a pic of 5 pulleys.
thanks!

 

Yep Honda does a GREAT job of balancing and the UO pulley will work just fine.....



In 10,000 miles you'll have nice bearings like these! AEM stop making crank pulleys because of the bearing problem.

 

I've been told by more than one person that Japanese cars in general have MUCH better crank balance than a domestic engine, making balance with different pullies a non-issue. My Nissan crank is supposedly perfectly balanced from the factory. I would expect nothing less from Honda. I have used UR pullies all year (Well over 10,000 miles, 10 autocrosses, 8 track events, and a few trips to the drag strip). All is well under the hood.

Whatever you go with, make sure it has all the timing marks. UR used to just come with TDC only, but they have all the marks now.
