OBX is pretty generic if you ask me. This is just my opinion

Yes, there was a guy that put an underdrive pulley on his newish car and after takeing apart the block to do some internals i think he said the bearings looked like they had 40,000 miles on them.

I didn't say that, it was a nice lil gain. I bought it when RVM first put it on ebay. It was around when they gave away a free pulley and i just bought the one they were selling on ebay for cheap.

Why how much are they now?

Anyway some of my suspension mods are my best mod. But for an engine mod, Id have to say my intake/ram air kit was my best mod.

Crank pulleys-

Ok how does Unorthadox crank pulley match up? There has to be a guru out there that has tried. How do they match up to the rvm and the obx? Really though, is our crank internally balanced o externally, if so no wonder, just leave alone what Honda engineers are paid for to balance out, your car to run well. When we do all that we mess up the whole symetrics of our engine. But oh, well, I have been drinkin..... Laters
