If it is not for performance, the UR kit seems to be alright.

That was the link i put in my first post :jae:

You can call ATI(http://www.atiracing.com/orderinfo/orderinfo.htm)

or

buy it from summit racing(http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATI-918468/)

If you go to my first post you'll see a link too all the applicable crank pulleys for the h/f series. The summit link is for the street version of the pulley. They have other versions though.

yeah I totally missed that, didn't you edit that later :lawl:

so that is a direct replacement for that single pulley I showed in the pic?

I mean what about the other pulleys, if I just replace that single one?

In my complete honest experience, i have not seen with my face a problem with it. I have however seen pictures and issues where bearing wear was worse with a light pully vs oem. But they were running 250shots of nitrous or turbo

I just know whenever u change the weight of pistons or crankshaft u have to compensate somewhere otherwise its a time bomb.

But with a dampener ur not changing any transitional force because thats all internal, all ur doing is lowering the effieciency of reducing crank vibrations. Its all based off chances because u really have to hit that sweet spot where ur engines resonance is the same as ur pully, which i doubt will ever happen, your more likely to be struck by lightning.

The case becomes different if ur running high rpm then its very important to have all balancing done to the t's. But by that time if u got 400 hp at 9k ur not trying to gain 10hp off an aluminum pully. :lawl:

Does that clear things up? Im not an expert but i know a little bit

You know what Tyler, you don't have boost or all sorts of power. Give the kit a try. I don't think I've ever seen someone on here say that it f*cked up their accord with a stock motor. All we ever hear is someone with a boosted this and that will never use it again

I would have to agree, and I really don't drive my car fast with the lip kit on and all.

well that and multiple past tickets :lawl:

You will be fine using the said 2 pulley sets. You are stock.

Well, like someone has said the website you provided didn't have much good user experience. Personally, I would just purchase directly from Unorthodox Racing. It's a little more pricey but at least you can avoid any hassles as your purchasing directly from the vendor.

I doubt you would run into any problems with the car running aftermarket pulleys. Especially if your just running your basic bolt ons with no turbo or supercharger, I doubt you would make enough power to throw your entire car off balance and destroy it. Underdrive pulleys will result in lower power output for electronics and possibly A/C but I believe you can reduce the lower power output with the Big 3 wiring upgrade.

I'm planning on doing the same to my car, getting all 3 pulleys and doing the Big 3 wiring upgrade along with some LED conversions. With all that, I think the lights dimming would be kept to a minimum even with the underdrive pulley.
