Does anybody know about the aem pulley kit for the rsx is a apin to put on or is it worth it.

 

what i ment to say is it a pain to put on the car and does it really make a difference.

 

its a pain to put on but it is def worht it. i wouldve gotten it a while agoo but since i ave a sub in the trunk the pulleys would end up making my amp lose power and therefore rendering the sub useless. if i didnt have a sub, id def get them

 

there a pretty big ******* pain to install. helped my friend put them on his 03 type-s. if your trying to waste a day , and waste 165 bucks, defitnely go for it. its not gonna make that much of a difference. stock acura pulleys are pretty well off.

 

I wouldn't waste your time/money, not to mention screwing the the harmonics of the motor. If anything, maybe just do the accessories, I would leave the crank alone.

The K20 doesn't have a harmonic sensor by the way, so you won't mess it up that way. older cars do though.

there is a long long thread on ClubRSX about the AEM pulleys and the damage some people have had from them. I highly reccomend you head over there and do a search for it and read through it. Basically, people say to go with UR instead of AEM.

 

I wasn't really referring to a sensor. The crank comes balanced perfectly from honda with the stock crank pulley. If the crank pulley is not balanced perfectly (which most cheap aftermarket ones are not) then you send vibrations through the crank. This could lead to you breaking oil pump gears and wrecking a motor, which is why I run a ATI dampener. 9 out of 10 reputable engine builders will tell you this, hell, drop earl a pm and see what he has to say about it.
