still cant get a straight or educated answer from anyone about ctr pulleys. anyone out there actually have one on there car or had a bad experience with one? i understand it has no rubber in it so it will not absorb "shock" from the crank but it is a factory part that is used on the CTR and i wouldnt think honda would engineer a part that would destroy an engine. anyone have any info?

 

the only problem i had with my ctr pulley, is not being able to run AC, and power steering. "duh"



i have one on my LS, and haven't had a bit of shit to deal with.

 

bump for the good info

 

i run a non-dampening crank pulley and have seen no bearing issues. However, on my 95mm crank, i'll be adding a damper.

 

i ran one on my car for months with no issues. but i added a/c so couldnt use it anymore.

 

is your 95mm crank a stroker crank?

 

yes

 

only think ive heard about the ctr pulley is that it eats up oil pumps but i have not seen this personally

 

If everything is balanced as least as good as stock, there should be no reason for oil pump failure. There is some other reason if people are destroying pumps..

 

Thank You! debunk all this ignorance! i would agree if everything else is str8 it should cause problems. plus there aint shit to the pulley: less mass and weight. Hmmm....think i should get a brand new one balanced for shits and giggles?
