curious: unorthodox aluminum pulley

[kinesis]

any comments as to whether or not it would be a good idea to have one put in on a '94? and would it be a complicated task.

thanks

drop us a pic

Beware .......
There is a reason the dealer puts a harmonic balancer at the front of the engine.

Removing it and putting a light weight pulley with no harmonic section can cause engine damage.

What does it look like

the guy selling it says he's going back to the stock one cuz he 'needs to attach a crank-position-wheel' to it. i suppose by now, you obviously know that i know crap about cars. =P . any kind of advice would be appreciated.

Well there is a reason that the stock pulley has the rubber section in it.
A number of companies have turned away from making the underdrive crankshaft pulleys.

Like AEM keeps the stock Camshaft pulley but replaces the Alternator and power steering pulleys....

so what would the accumulated effect be like in comparison to changing the steering and alternator pulley versus just the crank pulley?

and when you say damaging, what kind and how likely?

also who makes these steering and alt pulleys, please?

Well if you reduce the size of the crank pulley that underdrives the accessories.
If you increase the size of the accessory pulleys that does the same thing.

I have no idea who makes this stuff for a mr2......
I think its kind of a waste of money personally

Damage....... broken crank, blown engine bearings, damage to oil pump
