I just ordered one of these GENUINE Honda CTR pulleys that eliminate the powersteering and ac pumps. I am sure this topic has been posted before, but does anyone have one of these and how is the pulley working out for you? I realize its only worth about 3-4 horses and if its working good you shouldnt feel a thing. Did anyone have to get theirs balanced? And please no hater posts, just people that actually have one of these installed on their B series. Thanks.

 

Ive had one running on my b16 for about 30K miles now and no problems. Never got it balanced. Tip: when you install it, you'll need a belt from a acura vigor.

 

or you can take your stocker to a machine shop and have them eliminate the ps/ac

Really? What year(s)?

 

shop i had it installed at didnt specify which year but it was from a vigor as i was told-----> the size is 755mm

 

had 1 in my car now, don't feel much different.

 

i have one on my car, did alot of things all at once so i dono if it helped much but my old pully had a chunk missing (like that from the previous owner i have NO idea) so i imagine its balanced better than that...

 

there are some bone chilling testimonials out there if you search....

i decided against using mine because risk = (questionably) high and reward = (definitely) low

im lazy...enlighten us

 

The CTR pulley has no rubber dampner piece in it to cancel out harmonics which are hard on parts like bearings and oil pumps.Im using one but i built the motor and its fully balanced etc and i like to gamble a little.

 

If you go to a parts store I think I used around a 29-30inch belt just put your pulley on and adjust your alternator in the direction of your crank and measure with a piece if string around the pullys and bring the measurement to the parts store and get a belt like 1/2" longer
