Default Crank Pulley

On a 94 Civic EX Coupe, does a lightweight Crank Pulley do that much? How hard of an installation is it?

Less rotating mass on the crank helps it spin with less effort. Is it worth the price? That's up to you. A lightened crank pulley might free up 3-4hp, which you probably wouldn't be able to feel. In order to put one on, you would need to be able to take the crank pulley bolt off, which isn't exactly fun. People have been known to ruin sockets and snap breaker bars trying to get that bolt off...

I got a UR crank pulley...

People with high horsepower setups say that the UR crank pulley has problems and that the stock one is better.

From me, It's a pain to install for not that much gain. But, it's up to you..

Most of the problems usually stem from not having a harmonic dampener, imprecise timing marks(or none at all), or poor production tolerances.

I have the UR one and it works great. It was easy for me to put on cause I did it when I did my build. The timing mark and TDC mark are a hair off, but it hasn't given me problems yet.
