Ok i just read that OPMmotorsports has an aftermarket Alternator pully. Does anyone out there know if this would be an ok upgrade for the car, or would it be a waste of 70 bucks.

I replaced my crank pulley with a custom underdrive pulley some time ago. When I dynoed it I only gained a few HP. I'd suggest that you not worry out getting more power out of your engine and put the money into a decent suspension. Our engines' aren't going to be able make any significant power gains unless you change the cam or go turbo. You might get a worthwhile gain from a more open exhaust, but it isn't a $70 item. Probably the best bang for the buck would be to drop the power steering - lose weight and gain power.

Good luck

Hey STGardner, are you the same guy from EZboard that sold me my CRX lip spoiler? I think you had a blue Accord.

I've got an '88 silver hatch. Am working on the CRX lip for myself, but haven't sold anything off, yet.

I came across a company that makes them - Auto Specialties Performance in Stafford, Texas. The owner, Lee, machined one for me based on and OEM one I sent. Contact him at [email protected]
