i am building a b series engine and i want to know witch damper can i use to dont break my engine and dont lose power:

integra type r
unortodox or any other aluminum damper

please help i am about to asemble the engine and i need to send it to balance.

 

I run the unorthodox crank pulley, but I've heard some people have really bad experiences with them. I know it blew up one guy's motor because it somehow affected the oil pump.

I plan to go back to stock GSR when I build my new motor.

hih

 

I'm running an Integra pulley that's had its power steering and A/C bits milled off.

 

Honda inline fours do not have harmonic balancers, only crank pulleys. That's why these guys are talking crank pulleys, incase you where confused.

 

Yeah, I guess I should clarify.

OEM Honda pulleys have harmonic dampeners. Aftermarket units like the Unorthodox Racing units do not. This can cause some nasty vibrations and crank wear.

Personally, I'd go with an OEM unit unless that tiny bit of power is absolutely worth it to you. And if it is, get rid of your power steering and air condititioning and use a Honda N1 crank pulley.
