CTR pulley, whats the real deal?
 

Is this thing gonna blow my oil pump gear to bits or is that bullshit? I converted my power steering and lost ac awhile ago, so i bought a ctr pulley for the b swap. Now i read all this ---- how my oil pump gear is gonna go boom. Is that only on built engines that arent all nice and balanced? I dont understand how honda would have used that pulley on a stock car if it was going to shread the oil pump gear on a pricey engine.

why did you delete your post wideass?

Re: CTR pulley, whats the real deal?
 

miles since the actual pulley has been on it? i have no idea, it's been on there for the last 3 years but motor was in my old drag car so it was never daily drivin. i would only get a trip permit and roll it to the track, rape the ---- out of it and roll it home.

Bottom ends need to be balanced with pulley. The problems are people slapping these on 120K motors that already need rebuilds.

my motor has one on it...seen many miles without problems, oil pump looks brand new..... its a B16B though :P

Re: CTR pulley, whats the real deal?
 

so its not a good idea on my 120k ls?

I dont plan on keeping the stock engine too long anyway... How long do you think it will last?

one way to find out ;D

Simple motors are supposed to be balanced. Taking a pulley from another motor isnt what your suppose to do. Now the reality is ---- it. Do you have alot of money to do a fully balanced bottom end screw it. I use to machine factory pullies to eliminate the ps ac section of the pulley. I had one my d15b for god knows how long 60,000 miles+. Zc for 60,000+. Have people had problems yes,have others no.

why waste the money? how much power dose a crank pully get .4whp?

Re: CTR pulley, whats the real deal?
 

i think the difference is also that most people throw on aftermarket ----, this pulley is oem. I have one, although the motor isn't running yet, i can't see how it could cause a problem as long as the motor isn't a total bone.

hi already have it- my ls came with a broken crank pulley, so i had to get a new one anyway. I dont have ac or power steering, so i looked for a single rib one. it was only $60

Re: CTR pulley, whats the real deal?
 

i really doubt the motor is gonna last long enough for it to matter... ::)

I asked dan if he could find a spare for me already, hopefully he can pull through. Someone needs to buy my four door!!!

Re: CTR pulley, whats the real deal?
 

I have one on my turbo ls with no problems for 2 years now. My motor has about 120k on it now.

my buddy has a 1999 SI and has been running one for 2 years and 40k miles he is at 120,000 and has been boosted for 5,000. i would say go for it./
