Now I'm not normally one to buy anything OBx, Ssautochrome or any of that other bs. But because I need a new water pump pulley I came across these on ebay. The kit consists of a 1 piece water pump pulley, an alternator pulley and a Power steering pulley. The only thing I want to know, is the Alternator Pulley and Underdrive pulley? If its just aluminum and normal diameter thats fine. I just don't want to have voltage problems with an underdrive alternator pulley, dsm's already have a bad enough problem with the voltage regulator not working properly @ WOT on the alternator.

Here is a pic of a member on here with this kit..

You'll have to find out if they require a different belt. I do believe ## pullies are underdrive, or at least the alt because you do need a shorter belt. I do not know about OBX though. I've installed a 1 piece water pump pulley before (##) and found it to be a hassle getting it on and off with the engine in the car. (it was a 2g with 1g engine) Thats my only experience though.

I have the Unorthodox pulleys on the PS, WP and Alt. just like what you are considering. I was able to reuse the original belts, but just barely. The alternator and PS pump were adjusted as far out as they would go. Like Jeff said, just take advantage of this time to replace your belts. Go one size smaller and it should work great. (All of this is assuming that the OBX pulleys are close in diameter to the ## pulleys ;))



I had a set of these on my f22 turbo prelude. I really liked them, and I didnt see too big of a difference with the smaller Alternator pulley.

Likewise. Voltage at the battery terminals at idle holds steady at about 14.3V and the stereo kicks nice and hard.:D

thanks for the replies, But I need to know if it is positivly an Underdrive alt pulley. Seems like the consensus is that it Is maybe someone here can confirm it for the 4g63 set.
