does anyone own an AEM PULLEY for an RSX-S? and do you guys feel a difference? i just ordered my set and was wondering if you feel a difference in it

 

Why don't you let US know?

 

lol i will im suppose to get them today or by monday i just wanted someone who has them to see what they say if its worth getting them or what? get me?

 

Another one of those people that do the research after the purchase lol.

 

lol seriously. If it replaces the crank pulley I would NOT advise using it.

 

haha actually no lol this is my first time doing this asking after the purchase its because it was such a good deal! brand new for 100 :]

 

I have OBX ones. didn't notice too much difference to even mention, but for $50 retail shipped I couldn't pass it up.

 

You will make .00563 more hp. Enjoy!

 

yeah really 1hp gain on mine.. never replace the stock crank pully btw, i know the aem ones dont but just a heads up!

 

if you want a better crank pulley get the Z1 crank pulley. lol

but seriously if youre looking for performance gains you think colored pulley are really going to do it? lol

 

haha naw i just want some better response from the engine and sense there lighter i just would of thought maybe this might work? lol oh why is everyone saying not to change the stock crank pulley? does something always go wrong or what?

 

because your crank is not balanced and swapping an aftermarket CP like that onto it can be brutal for an engine. The stock CP has a bushing in it to absorb engine vibration, an aftermarket one does not. Meaning all the vibration goes back through the engine.... bad for business

 

^ thanks man i just learn another new fact today! i love honda-tech

 

oh alright man thanks Type-S paz you always come through man haha

 

i always thought they were balanced, and the stock pulley just dampened resonances, a tech at unorthodox racing said replacing the crank pulley might shorten the life of a motor to maybe 100k miles (in theory). i've used aftermarket crank pulleys before, even on an american car, and never had any problems. a friend of mine has one on his b20 civic with no problems for 2 1/2 years. i think nst makes a pretty good kit for the rsx. i think it makes 3-6 hp across the entire rpm range.

I'm just going off experience and from words of my tuner. I had a pulley kit on my B series but it seriously sounded louder to me engine wise. So I swapped back to OEM crank then swapped to civic type-R crank pulley.

 

but also I know companies aren't going to come out with products that immediately cause troubles.

But even a tech friend at Zimbrick Acura told me just yesterday he's seen troubles with under drive pulley kits at the shop

 

the nst kit retails for 200, so i may give it a try. i'm going to get an intake, k-pro, and rbc intake first though, and coilovers and wheels probably. been thinking about k24 bottom end, so i may run it on the one i've got now just to see.

do not put a non honda crank pully on your motor, unless you are buying an ati or fluidamper unit, the only cars that i work on that can use a solid are subaru boxer engines.
