Default Are crank pulleys worth it???

Is it worth the cost of an Unorthodox crank pulley? Ive heard good and bad about them... Just seems like a lot of money for a stupid pulley.

If you want to get a pulley get a CIVIC Type R N1 pulley. It is about $140.

No they aren't worth it.....they must be perfectly balanced and most are not. STAY WITH STOCK on the crank pulley.....if you want more power.....remove the ac and the ps.

Hey Pac Man...remember me? I ran a 10.25 at IDRC race at Palmdale Sun. Should have beat Venom Civic (ran a hurt 10.95) but was stupid and red lighted. Cost me $200 but I think my time will translate to 9's at sea level. Things are quiet without all the Atomic soap opera. Good to see you posting here!

No they are not worth it. You want the harmonic damper which Unorthodox doesn't have. Thats why AEM only makes the power steering and air conditioning pulley.
