Default Aem pulleys

Right now I have an aem cai, greddy evo, suspension, and jdm header and cat(soon). After reading a good bit of the Honda Builders Handbook, I deicided to go with aem pulleys and maybe an FPR. I do not know how to tune an FPR , so I'm still thinking about that mod. Anyone else read the handbook too, what do u think in terms of going na?

really those pulleys arent worth it. keep on saving the money. tuning the fpr should be left to a shop when you're on the dyno.

You could spend your money on far better things than either pullies or a fuel pressure regulator. I wouldn't bother personally.

kyb agx/ground control

I already ordered the pulleys. I think they will make a difference when I do what I plan to my engine and it revs higher etc... I mean putting a lil power back to the wheels can never hurt especially when u have more power from the get go

wasn't there some article about pulleys causing more damage than good because they kept on burning up alternators and causing some type of unbalance?? :thinking:

I think that was due to people not knowing what they are doing.

My thoughts on pullies in general, for any car, are that they are a bad idea unless you have a particular accessory that would benefit from being spun at a slower speed. For example the alternator on the '93-'95 Mazda RX-7 tends to get a little fussy at 6000 rpm or above so underdriving it a little bit sacrifices some electrical output at low RPM in exchange for longer life at high RPM. But in an Integra there's really no reason and they're only so popular because of good marketing on the part of people who make them.
