I built a d16y8 and am searching right now for other parts. Should I get pulleys for this motor or stick with OEM? If aftermarket..what is the added bonus? If OEM, should I get new ones since the originals have roughly 180,000 miles lol or how long do they last?

 

leave the o.e. on. unless you plan on really beating the car, then step up to the ati or fluidampr.

going light weight or underdrive will help but at the expense of your bearings and oil pump. (atleast on a b series it will)

 

yeah use oem

 

Yeah I have been hearing that oem is better to stick with....but should I replace the originals or should they last a while?
