Thanks,

Frank

 

I just ordered a set aem

 

i been runnin an unorthodx race for the past to years,i use them on everything, my winter beater even has one

 

Any idle issues with AC on? Feel any difference in power?

Crank pulley?

 

I have aem ps and ac pulleys, if you are stopped and turn the ac on, it will shut the car off lol. When you have the lights on, the turn signals go a little bit dim when not on the gas. No big problems really

 

not worth it IMO

 

Any more opinions?

 

Just remove the AC and you wont have to worry about it shutting off when you turn the AC on

-Someone, who doesn't think the pulleys are worth it unless you break the stock ones somehow

 

remove the AC, and then the power steering belt. viola!!

 

You try living in Miami, FL without AC. They point is no to take the belts off the car. when it's a daily driver.

Look at this thread if your considering an uderdrive crank pulley. Accessory pulley's would be fine however since they dont effect the harmonic balancer.

Well i odnt know about the R's but we put a set on my Plrelude and B16 CRX and they were totally worth it in my opinon!! When we first installed the Pullies we were not impressed but after driving on them for a month and then the dyno we were impressed.
3 hp for the lude and 4.5 for the crx. not bad for 110 dollar mod!!
it should really kick *** on your guys's R's!!

 

UR pullies

 

Any comments on the AEM Pulleys?

 

Any truth that aftermarket pulleys can possibly prevent the oil pump from working correctly, or is that some b.s. tale I heard along the way?

 

No you don't, there is no such thing as a A/C pulley. You have the same pullies I have, the power steering and alternator.

If you get an underdrive alternator pulley, be wise with your electrical setup. That means: no high watt headlights and no big stereos.

Aem makes a p.s. pulley and an alternator pulley for Integras. I run the p.s. pulley only though, because with the alternator pulley idling at night my lights would dim a bit. The p.s. pulley made a little difference power wise (could be in my head though) but the steering is a touch heavier than with the stock pulley (which I like). Aem does not make an AC pulley or crank pulley. Unorthodox makes a crank, alternator and ps pulley, but I have no experience with them. I dont like the idea of removing the balancer from my crank pulley to be honest. Hope this helps.

 

UR rocks....I've run the entire set of UR pulleys for ~60,000 miles & I beat the **** out of my car....

AC rocks in Kansas in the summer (Catz lights too - run them all at the same time NO problems here).

 

Wow the UR Pulley set is expensive.

 

I had the AEM's on my old LS for over two years problem free... I now have had a set on my ITR for about a year with the same results.. Don't expect a huge gain in horsepower but they do make a difference. Only thing is that the dome lights dim a little at night when at idle, you won't notice it unless you look for it.

 

This was about the only difference I noticed after installing the AEM pulleys on my R. I installed both the PS and alternator ones. I don't drive the car that much or sit in traffic, so the lower charge level at idle is not an issue for me. I noticed no power increase. I like the steering feel, and I'm just too lazy to take them off.

 

Unless you like the *bling*.... and have money burning a hole in your pocket.

The charging system is better left alone...

It was worth it on my Lude, but not on my R, for some reason there was no power there

 

Only failure I have seen was on Vegeta's old ITR. He had AEM pullies and the alternator bearing took a ****.
But then again, I have seen probably 5 or 6 other people run them without problem.
