That thing could destroy your engine.
Underdrive pulleys can cause serious damage. I've known people who have had total oil pump failure due to the pulley (and it was a quality brand!) The result was a completely destroyed engine.
Regardless of the promises made in the ad, I wouldn't trust that. The only brands I would trust are:
Unorthodox Racing (I have one...) and even that is a risk.
Fluidamper
OEM (as in, Honda.)

To save money you could swap over pulleys from the Accord alternator (or use it but it's 10A lower in rating) and power steering pump.

He's talking crank pulley, though. The accessory pulleys aren't as big a deal. I don't think I'd be afraid to run cheapie accessory pulleys on my car, honestly. It's the crank pulley that will do damage.

I should have finished that statement by explaining that doing so will allow you to use the crank pulley from the F22A in the car. Assuming it's in good nick.

i know its crazy

That means it's out of stock. They can just adjust the price to an amount at which no one will buy and edit it when they receive new stock. That way they avoid the relisting fees from redoing it when stock comes in.

I can vouch for this because I was one of these unlucky people.

I have a Unorthodox Racing 3 pulley set and got rid of the crank pulley not too long ago because of an oil pump failure.

STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THEM! I cannot stress this enough.

I went through so many BS threads saying how great these pulleys are on random forums but honestly they won't give any HP that your butt dyno will even notice! I think these are only good for serious track cars or people with fully built weekend racers that can really benefit from them. I mainly wanted them for engine bling and the "5-10HP" they claim....+ I got them at a steal at Modacar at the time and couldn't pass it up.

Soon I will be putting in a high amp alternator and go back to a oem pulley for my power steering.

These are the headaches these lightweight pulleys have given me.

1) Crank pulley - Broken oil pump. My oil pump couldn't take all the vibrations and literally cracked on the inside! I thought my engine was detonating but it was actually a small piece of the oil pump floating and bouncing around while I was driving!

2) Alternator Pulley - This thing pisses me off because all of the accessories I have. This makes my fog HIDs flutter sometimes under high electrical load. Upping the idle fixes some fluttering but once my volt meter dips in the 12.5 under range (A/C fan / cooling fan etc) coming on, it flutters until its off or when the vehicle is in motion again.

3) Power Steering Pulley - I believe this causes more stress on this pump just like the oil pump. I rebuilt the pump correctly once already and after 4 years it's starting sound like it's going out again. I had the pump and reservoir replaced altogether from my new fully built project motor and same issues are starting to occur again after a few years and it's now starting to wine like a supercharger again.


If you are trying to get a crank pulley, I would invest in a Fluidamper or ATI. I recommend an ATI after talking to Rich atTEM machine shop here in Napa which is good friends with the owner of EDYN. He said the Fluidampr is just like those safety barrels on the freeway full of water. It's great because it can dampen the vibrations of the engine however just like water, however water never stays the same so it can never be fully adjusted when trying to balance it. The ATI however can be balanced.

If I ever put my turbo engine in my accord, i'm going to drop the extra money and buy an ATI for peace of mind.

LOL I just viewed his link. I believe that was the e-bay sellers typo since I looked at the completed bought items the seller has made @ 39.99 a pop.

This must be a special limited edition made from moon rock or adamantium or somethin LOL
