Default D16 lightweight pulleys

I'm rebuilding a D16z6 shortblock and while I'm in there I'm going to have it fully balanced and would like to compliment it with a lightweight crank pulley. Here's my problem: I am maintaining my air conditioner.

Lightweight pulleys are easy to find, I just need one that drives all 3 belts. I would like one that doesn't underdrive the alternator either because I have charging problems at idle as it is.

There is a Ralco pulley sold through horsepowerfreaks that says it includes crank, alternator and power steering, the number is 375020. Does that mean its a crank pulley that drives only alternator and power steering or its a set that included crank, ps, and alternator?

Didn't see that you mentioned that in your first post. Might wanna link to the Ralco pulleys you're talking about because the only ones I found for a Civic are for 2006-2010 models.

Bottom one on the list. The guy from HPF told me that it includes the crank pulley, alternator pulley and a power steering pulley but the only thing keeping me from buying it whether or not it drives the AC and he didn't know.

Most of the time those lightweight pulleys are going to be used for performance and 9 times out of 10 most engine builders are going to scrap the ac system so your best bet is to find someone who can make you a custom one.

There are a couple crank pulley's that drive all 3. I just wanted the kit because it comes with an overdrive alternator pulley that keeps you out of charging problems. Like I said my lights are flickering at idle as it is, if I underdrive the alternator I'll have real issues.

Honda makes OE light weight pulleys. I had one on my D16Y7. I forget exactly what car it came from but if im not mistaken an EG with a D15.


Heres an old FS thread of mine, as you can see it drives all 3.

I have idea where I'd get one of those. Obviously I'm pretty new to Hondas (though I've been in performance for plenty of time) and despite the huge population of cars and parts available I can't seem to find any good websites with parts for the EG minus Horsepowerfreaks and half their stuff is for B and K series anyway.
