So what's the general consensus? I've seen used stock pulleys go for $120 for $25 more I can get a new one. Aftermarket are considerably cheaper but some say there's a risk. I'm about to make a debate thread lol If Aftermarket are bad I would love to see proof, any bit and stock it is.

Buy unorthodox racing pulley...timing marks are dead on and they are billet one piece machined items. They don't need to be balanced because they are billet.

FYI...fidanza flywheel is not stock so I guess we shouldn't run those right? I mean what do race teams know

You will not spin a bearing due to a pulley unless the pulley is fucked up like your stock one is right now. The stock honda pulley is not a harmonic balancer either.

And if you want to go the route saying stock is better because of the THIN ass little piece of rubber in the pulley...then why did honda release a CTR pulley?

Get an unorthodox racing underdrive pulley and call it a day...they also come with the paperwork for belt part number needed for the pulley.

if you have the money go for it but Ive never seen a used pulley on here for more than 50 bucks. idk where your looking for used pulleys for that much but that's crazy. Ive bought 2 or 3 on here, all for 30 or less each.

Get a dorman pulley for your motor off of any big name website and you'll be fine. Why spend a bunch of money on some d-series motor anyways?

I went to the store and got the belts for a B18C5, the alternator was the big problem I believe. The B18C5 belt was huge! The alternator at full adjustment, the belt was still way too big. Ended up just getting a random size after like 2 more trips to the store trying GSR belts since those didnt work either lol. Must be some JDM bracket or something throwing it off IDK?
