Ok, well first of all im getting the aem pulley kit. but my friend with a swap in a hatch has the 2 aem pulley's but has a crank pulley as well which is Unorthodox pulley. Is the pulley kit alone from AEM a nice mod or do i need to get that 3rd pulley? Also who else makes that 3rd one other than unorthodox?

P.S. - Cam gears or Pulleys? Which would you get first.

 

Just do the AEM kit, don't mess with your crank pulley. You'll notice a nice increase just with that.

 

Wheres a go0d place online to get them for a nice price? $

 

$139 at Modacar.com on their web page. I've gotten better prices by calling them. This is not an ad for them, just where I've seen them.

 

If you want the crank pulley, go for the unorthodox 3-pulley set (crank,p/s,alternator). If you have the AEM set already and then decided to put on the Unorthodox crank pulley, you would be underdriving the alternator way too much.... Personally, I have the AEM underdrive pullies & the stock crank pulley and I am very satisfied & have zero problems

 

ye i go through modacar as well...what do you mean i get better prices by calling them???

 

I mean that the prices they advertise on their website are not always the prices they tell you when you call. Just try, it can't hurt.

 

o ok i got you thanx man...

 

If you get the AEM pulley kit, will it kill yor battery?

Its not worth it.....your altenator wont charge your battery as good and it WILL start to die. I speak from my own experience

 

AEM pulleys are fine. They produce a mild low end amount of power. I would def. stay away from unorthodox. The stock honda crank pulley acts as a harmonic balancer, if you mess with it you can mess up the crank and other things such as bearings. Just ge the AEM and tell me how you like them when you put them on!

 

i have been running the aem setup for two years on the same battery, the car started this winter in 20 below zero, the battery charges fine as long as you are not pushing any big subs or amps.
I have also HEARD (do not know for a fact) that the crank pully can through off the balance of the crankshaft itself.
I got my aem kit from http://www.optauto.com for $150 shipped

uhmm... i might not be correct, but my understanding is that the battery simply gives juice to start the car... from that point on after the engine is running, the power supply comes from the alternator which constantly regenerates itself... correct me if i'm wrong....

 

thats what i thought...about the battery but i have heard if you have a sound system like subs and amp then yea pulleys do drain alot...

 

I have an average sized aftermarket system, 2 amps, 3 subs, 4 - 6 1/2" speakers, and have never had an issue with battery drain.

 

i am selling the unorthodox pulley kit for the 93 01 preludes. they are red part number 0406004r. i will match the best price you find.
