Pulleys (not asking for help)

well i FINALY go tmy AEM pulleys on. let me first say WOW. i was really suprised at the difference. i feel it the most in 1st and 2nd. but its a huge difference. Anyways i just wanted to say to those of you with DX's. if you plan on AEM pulleys. make sure you hang on to your belts. be carefull when you take them off. the belt AEM gives you (for the alternator) does not fit, its way to big, the only thing i can think of is cause we don't have AC. but the new PS pump belt works fine. it took about 2hr. but its cool. i really think i can tell a bigger difference than when i put my CAI on. anyways i'm done rambling, just thought i'd share my good news.

underdrive pullies, they replace the pullies on the accessories and the spin your accessories at a lower rpm % than normal, freeing up a few more horseys....

well with High Output audio systems underdrive pullies usually herald the installation of a High Power alternator.... IMHO they're a waste, but thats just my opinion... they usually wont hurt anything although on some vehicles they make it harder to steer when the engine is at idle.... (parallel parking, etc...)

i went ahead and bought a volt meter, just so i could keep an eye on it. i have an orionHCCA 250 amp, and 2 12's. so i've had NO troubles. after we got the pulleys on i turned the brights on, the heater on full blast, the rear defrosters, and the system up. the volt meter dropped down to 12 (from 14.4) really really fast, but then it slowly went back up to about 14v.

civicdragon: Check out the parts section of this site to get a rough idea. Search all forums with the keyword pulley and search for some prices, I'm sure you'll find plenty.

SpeedRacer: Post a review in the reviews section dude.

RiceBuRNeR: I'm getting the Unorthodox Racing Ultra SS pulley kit as well. The power we gain from replacing the crank shaft pulley should be much more than the other two pullies.

This is kinda weird. I have heard some people say they didn't notice any difference at all. Hmmm...I guess I may pick some up in the future....they do look cool anyway. Is this a DIY or something a shop will have to install?
