underdrive pulleys

[Experimental_Honda]

i was wondering if these pulleys(http://www.indigospeed.com/GTPullies.html) will work in my 88 lx. i have aftermarket pulleys in my car but they only gave me about 7hp.

Yeah, according to thier website, it will work. Unless you've made some major mods that let your engine rev more freely, don't expect much difference, in my opinion. If your car is, or will be, heavily modded, then go for it!

my car already has a fair amount of mods, the pulleys i have now where really cheap and they only gave me about 7 hp, im thinking theses my be a bit better and seeing how my car is a carbed and they dont make shit for it this seems like a fast, easy, and pretty cheap way to get more power.

If you get it, make sure you give us a review!

what mods did you do? if u have a big amp for ur stereo... make sure ur alternator is good enough to chage when every thing is runnin... A/C, stereo and foglites and neon.

wait a minute, Experimental_Honda what kind pulleys do you have now, and where did you get them?

[88LXiHB]

And do you know for a fact they gave you 7 hp??

[Experimental_Honda]

yeah we ran a weak dyno on it and i said it gave me around 7, i got the pulleys from a friend who works at a shop here in town for 40.00 he said they would give me about 5 to 10. i thinking these pulley are a bit better than what i have now.ok about my mods here goes........mugen radiator and oil cap, gutted cat, custom fitted 92 civic dc sports intake, 2.5 pipes from catback to a nakayama muffler with a 5 inch tip, R1 combat wing, ngk plugs, 8.5mm plug wires, new pulleys, 16 inch rims, and 2 inch drop.

site, you live in cinci ohio?? thats not to far where i live, well 1 state away.

[Site]

Yeah, I'm in Cincy. Well, a suburb NE of the city, anyway. I can get to the heart of downtown in like 20 mins.

What is a weak dyno?? :confused:

[3rd GEN]

what type of pulleys are they?
I was thinkin about underdrives too.. but can't rea;;y seem to find any..
esp for our cars..
are they for another car, but fit our cars??

[2Fast_Fiero]

I don't see how you cannot find any for our car, I've found alot of them, and thats another one added onto my list, but I think that seems to be the best, they are supposed to take the strain from the ac/heater, and other components in your engine compartment off of your engine, so the engine doesn't need to give out more power then needed. Which saves you power for other things, like...........RACING!!! :D:D:D

[shepherd79]

did you dyno before you putt them on or after?

[Experimental_Honda]

it was done 2 times. but not in the same day, they where about 3 weeks apart. the place i went to get it done told me it was a weak dyno it was only like 50.00 each time.

Headers. You need them.

i cant hook headers up, im carbed. i did find dcsport headers, but when i posted asking if they would work every 1 said i would ahve to mod them and they would not really do much.

[shepherd79]

ok so what kind mods did you had before the first dyno?

[Experimental_Honda]

every thing but pulleys

[startersgirl]

Go pacesetter ceramic then cut the ball joint out weld in a flex section they work for carbed

[shepherd79]

what was reading? give me the numbers.
so underdrive pulley will give 10hp, hmm that is something i have to look forward to.

[Experimental_Honda]

yeah pulleys are nice, i hope these new 1s will hook it up with alot more hp. can i do that to the dc sports headers as well, pace setter is trash.

[87pimpsterdocious]

let us know how it turns out if you order them. also, about the headers, get dc sports and have one hole welded shut or put and old oxygen sensor in the extra hole and they'll work just fine!

[Experimental_Honda]

thanx for the info on the headers. i ordered the pulleys last night so i will let you all know how they work when i get em.
