Why? post any good or bad experiences you've had with aftermarket pulley sets.

How do you figure?? All stock stuff is good, right?

Go with the aem pulleys. They are accessory pulleys and won't harm the engine. The unorthodox pulleys remove the harmonic dampner on the crankpulley putting more stress on the oil pump and bearings.

The AEM site is not very clear what the TRU Power Pulley kit includes. Does it include a crank pulley? Do the AEM Pulleys have the problem with the harmonic dampner?

If you can get any power at all for $150 out of a honda then it's worth it. The pulleys are one of the few things that actually have a good power:dollar ratio...

Re: What pulley kit is better aem or unorthodox racing (tony1)

I'm using AEM cam gear, AEM alt pulley, and Unorthdox racing crank pulley on my D16Z6 project right now and going w/ a Garrett T3 turbo. No ac or ps. I'm hoping this will be an ok setup since I'm hearing alot of bad stories about crank pulley.

Wow, pulleys really make a difference? I was always under the assumption that they made very little difference, and would only use them if you have extra money. I need to look into these then.
