i need to change my alternator belt and serpentine belt. can i get new pulleys/wheels to increase torque??? just wondering. if so, what kind and where can i get them?

 

Power steering and alternator pulleys will give you .02 wtq, not worth it. They are mainly just for show.

 

what year prelude do u have, 99?

 

Alternator pulleys are indeed pointless, as I've noticed from doing some research. If a Prelude alternator pulley costs between $20 and $50, it would be logical to conclude that they are useless. Might I suggest purchasing a $180 crankshaft pulley. Great for low-end power/acceleration.

Then again, if you really want them, these would be the best choice

I don't wanna rain on anybodies parade but There's a myth floating around that light weight crank pullies damage main bearings. (for you noobs reading this that don't know about main bearings, know this: If they go bad, a bottom end re-build or engine replacement is the fix. read $$$$ especially if you don't have the skills, equipment, or ***** to do it yourself.)
This article is the reason why I decided not to run any brand of crank pulley.

And for those of you not familliar with Larry Endyn, he is one of the best at what he does in the industry, hands down.

 

have you heard any problems with the Crankshaft pulleys??? i'm VERY interested.

If my power steering pulley is making noise like the bearing's bad, cant i just change the pump right now and avoid a bottom-end rebuild/new engine?

edit: just looked at the article, are you talking about the underdrive pulley? not the power steering/alternator ones.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Crank pulley dude, the other pulleys have nothing to do with bearings

I have had an Unorthodox crank pulley for 5 years so far with no problems.

 

Yeah its the crank pully not the other ones. This has been a hot potato on several forums over the years time and time again. I'm currently in the process of rebuilding my engine and I don't want to have to do it again for 2.8whp. lol Some people have gotten away with it, some have not. I don't doubt that you've been problem free for 5 yrs, but I'm curious as to what your bearings look like. lol My 92 Si is my daily, but i flog the **** out of it more than most so reliability is of utmost importance, after all, that's one of the reasons we're rockin Hondas

 

who is Larry Endyn?

Endyn is the name of his company, not his last name. He is God.

 

i know who Larry Widmer is, and the company, Endyn, but i don't know Larry Endyn

Bahaha, sorry....I missed the sarcasm I'm with you on that one.

Maybe he had a son and called him Larry Endyn?

 

sorry you guys are right. You knew who I was talking about though.lol
Boy do I feel like a douche. lol
