If your engine isn't near perfectly balanced (ie stock) then running one of these underdrive pulleys can cause problems in the long run. One such example i have heard of was the oil pump toasted a few thousand KM after install. The reason is that the stock piece has a hard rubber piece sandwiched between the inner and outter part of the pulley to dampen engine vibrations. The stock pulley is actually called a harmonic balancer.

I think Larry http://www.theoldone.com/ has something about this on his site.

I have run my dh-racing one for over 3 years with no problems. Oh and he sells his also on ebay. His go for 125 but they have been proven for years on his 9 sec b16a and bisi's 10.0 all motor crx you know the blue hf with a sohc accord motor on carbs. He also has a dyno of 20 whp on a stock itr with the addition of the pulley.

If you are going to get an underdrive crank pulley, Unorthodox has a lightweight alternator pulley (stock size) to compliment it.
