I have searched this subject but wasn't enough info or peoples opinions on this pulley.
I plan on taking off both P/S and A/C and was looking for a good crank pulley.
let me know your experiences or thoughts on this

 

get unorthodox instead

 

or shave down the OEM pulley.....

cost me about 40 bucks including a re-balance.

 

 

I've got one sittin' in the garage. Still need a pulley holder to install it though. $75 new.

Air gun y0!

 

Oh yea, I forgot I have some impact sockets now!

I've broken like 3 19mm's with the impact

 

So you guys recommend Unorthodox???

 

[sarcasm] oh no! what about the HARMONIC DAMPENER?!? [/sarcasm]

 

good luck setting the timing.....

 

Well yeah that's true about the timing. So can the N1 crank pulley harm your engine???

 

The timing marks on the 3 unorthodox crank pulleys are right.

 

yea

due to the sheer high velocity of the lightweight single pulley at 15k rpm it will fly off the motor, sheeer off the crankshaft, bounce around the and leave a big whole at the bottom of the block.

i'll save this link and tell you "i told you so" when it happens

 

I know someone local that had his over 1 year and not have any problems with it.
He bought it to see how bad it will hurt his engine but to date, no problems. I know he will be tearing his motor apart this upcoming Christmas break to see if there's any signs of uneven wear. He's doing this cause he ought to go with a higher compression than he currently runs.

As of matter of fact, I bought one from Leo that I'm going to run on my next setup soon, I hope .

 

i say f#$@ the headache and worries of putting an aftermarket one on. Doesnt anyone else think the stock one is fine?


peas out!

 

the ctr n1 is factory honda

 

So is that what happened to your last motor. I always wondered.

 

what headache??

stock too heavy, ctr = stock as well = too heavy
aluminum is key

 

yeah so it cant be a "aftermaket" pulley

The CTR pulley is fine. No problems here.

 

CTR is working out fine for me (Knocks on wood).

 

weight difference between Unorthodox and CTR N1 is........?

 

a lot
my unorothodox i can twirl around on my pinky finger

 

are you a road racer who keeps going every 15 mins for a 20 min at a time at like 9 or 10K rpm ? then shave the stock one which has a harmonic balancer or get the CTR N1 or similar type with same material but doesnt have balancer. the UR aluminum will expand too much with all that stress if used in this scenario... similar to what happens with aluminum flywheels from the stress and heat.

If you use for daily driving and occasionally race drag or road, then the unorthodox aluminum will be fine just check clearance as UR tends to vary bore sizes so they dont fit as tight as the stocker or CTR N1 whne fitting around the crank.

I personally recommend the N1 pulley even with the added weight when compared to the UR one. If you wanna get those, see Leo Kwok he's got the best deals by far ...
