Okay call me the stupid guy on here, but what in the world does a pully do? I mean what does it improve or help? Just wanted to know, thanks!

There are pulley's on accessories and such like a/c, power steering, crank shaft etc.. The pulley kit is lighter weight and larger, which is easier to turn and your motor can use the extra HP at the wheels claim to add about 5 ponies...

A pully reduces the speed at which your engine accessories spin - so its easier for the engine to move them (ie - A/C alternator, power steering pump) Are there gains to be had? Probably some, but not a whole lot. Its just part of the whole performance picture. Hopefully some who have one will post their experiences...

gives noticeably better throttle response...maybe a couple ponies...lower end

man, i am sooooo proud to see that no one flamed him. usually all you would see to an answer would be SEARCH!!!!. but we didnt get that. i know that the search is a good thing, and i use it a lot, but not everyone has the time everytime to use it.

definatly faster throttle response. it reduces the power going to the accessories by lighter and larger diameter wheels.

Does the pulley take away from the higher rpms?

Nope, and they'll do your accessories good if you rev high frequently. Less wear and tear on them.

Nothing pisses me off more than people saying "Search"...Just answer the question or point them in the right direction ya know?...

does the pulleys have any effect on the alternator? my friend bought a set of aem pulleys for his 98 accord, and his battery started to die out every couple of hours. we replaced the battery three times, same result. until we jus took off the alternator pulley. anyone have that kinda prob?

Is your friend pushing a high wattage audio system. If so, that's probably the problem. AEM recommends that you don't push anything over 400 watts (I'm pretty sure that number is correct). Anything over that starts to drain power and your battery won't stay fully charged. Some people have claimed that an Optima battery fixed this problem. Others just hooked up a second battery for their stereo system and so forth. There's several options. Just depends on what's more important and how much you want to spend.

I've got the AEM pullies and a high output system. I have 3 amps, EQ, crossover, DVD player, LCD.. and I have no problems whatsoever...

So if there are pullies for that many parts, how many pullies actually come in the set? Is it just 2 or are there more?

With AEM you get two pullies. With Unorthodox you get three, the third one being the crank pulley.

naw, my frend didnt have a system or anything, everything electronic was stock. so no one has any problems with the pullies so far?

If the guy makes mostly short trips and starts and stops the engine a lot, maybe it never has time to fully charge the battery. Also a bad voltage regulator won't allow alternator to charge the battery fully. Sometimes a bad battery connection or cable can be at fault. This would also be indicated by intermittent starting problems.

so far with the 7th gen, no problems running pulleys? im gonna basically stick with the stock ICE for a while. i should be ok right?
