So, of the knockoff companies...are any of them any better or worse than the others?

I have an S13 SR20, and want some blue accessory pullies. But dont want to spend 'Greddy' money on them, but dont want complete bullshit either.

Any reason to get one of the sets over the other?

Only if u had extra $ to waste. The I can't see any reason to pay more for "brand" ones. I have circuit sport pulleys and they perform fine for the last 3 years.

most of the knockoff companies are resonable enough to return/replace if you get a messed up set. just make sure you can afford a failure(toasted belts, etc).

To tell you the truth, I rather spend the money on the name brand ones than risk something happening to my engine. But starting this thread is a good idea because you can get feedbacks from everyone on what they have.

BlackZenkiS14
07-22-2011, 09:16 AM
Well right, I have name brand everything else. But there is a 300 difference in price between the Greddy pullies and knockoff's, and accessory pullies arent THAT big of a deal. Not like an Oil pan or something.

your accessory pullies drive you ps pump, alt, and water pump. A spent belt isn't going to blow your motor but you will be stranded. I bought a knockoff pulley set(maybe obx?) for my S4. Ate belts if tightened and squeeled constantly if too loose.

Well, educate me here folks. I have never bought knockoff parts before, thats why I made this thread. I have always run legit shit, and never had to read or learn about it, I just knew it was quality shit. This is my first endeavor into this, so I was seeing if any has had bad experiences with it or not. If so, I'll just leave them stock.

What Mike is implying is that the parts
may not be 'round' and wobble when in use
causing vibration and bearing shorten life

when mounted, use an indicator on a stand
and check how much deflection there is
as you turn the pulley

something like this:

and the term is really run-out

That makes sense.

How much rotational weight will I really save with these over the stock ones?

If it destroys your water pump, your engine will over heat. If you are running the stock gauges, by the time you notice your engine is over heating chances are your motor is shot.

Stock gauges work fine.

Inertia decreases a bit but this isn't the main reason for buying aftermarket pulleys

manufacturers make cars to operate under normal driving conditions
most cars spend their lives well below redline ~2.5 - 5k
oem pulleys are designed to operate in this range

now, it is well documented that SR water pumps cavitate at high RPMs
i.e water pump stop flowing -> serious problems
the problem is address by an aftermarket pulley that is larger in diameter
in order to lower the working ratio on the pump.
i.e. slow it down

same thing goes for alternators and power steering pumps
they don't work any better at high RPM
you only risk bearing damage
larger pulleys slow them down

so in summary:
aftermarket pulleys on your daily driver/hardparker = you're a ricer
aftermarket pulleys on your track car = you're doing it right

BlackZenkiS14

Ok, yea, this is a dedicated toy car. Gets driven on the street, but usually pretty abusively lol.

Do the Circuit Sports ones actually have diameter changes though to make up for what your talking about?

Stance makes a larger water pump pulley for the S13 SR if I am not mistaken... same with Yashiro Factory.

I have had both circuit sports and greddy pullies and my altenator pulley from circuit sports just spun freely one day. Everything was legit but the pulley just self destructed. I switched to greddy and never had a problem after that. Sold the car. 5 years later the current owner still says everything is perfect. Its worth the cheese for the nice stuff. I basically always ask. If there is failure will my motor be at risk? If so spend that cheese don't stack it. I guess some of us get lucky and some don't. But for sure check the run-out.

you guys can spend a lifetime checking this and checking that when it comes to cheap shit


last month, you fucking retards were celebrating when you heard HKS was closing its doors here in the US, while us old-schoolers were sad and disappointed.

the problem here is that we have a plethora of shit-for-brain 240 owners that dont appreciate good companies, support shitty quick-to-knockoff companies... and cant fabricate something on their own if their life depended on it.

bottom line, the majority of the 240 owners here will not benefit from buying a pulley set, regardless if its OEM or aftermarket. its just not a worth-while mod, its pretty pointless for any street car. furthermore, the majority of car owners in general would benefit more from driving lessons than they would from a fully built motor or 10,000 dollars in parts. people dont even understand the changes they make when they install parts... good or bad, its all considered an upgrade.

i wonder who here will even understand what im saying. probably juan and dave, thats it.

Ixfxi and zar. I couldn't agree with you guys more. I truely wish there were no knockoff companies because then the "scene" as they say wouldn't be so flooded with these young kids who have no clue. But there are knockoff companies so this is what we have to put up with. I remember researching 10 years ago to find other cars' oem pulleys that were larger but had the same amount of ribs and using them as underdrive pulleys. Or just buying expensive brand name stuff. There no cleverness left with the knockoff companies butthere is a huge market for them so they are here. Also really when you think about it is it really needed to spend tripple the price on something like a catchcan or a coolant overflow tank? No. If you do its really just an elitest mindset some people have that makes them feel better. I know plenty of people who spend a lot of money and can't drive for a damn then on the other side I know several people who run knockoff everything and drive like bosses. Its all made in the same places anyway for the most part. Its just private label.

yes its shitty that hks has closed its doors stateside, but the truth is, we have some companies stateside that are working to improve their products and their quality.
(i'm not saying that all u.s. brands are shit or that all are golden, but just because its not hks, greddy, yashio, etc, doesn't mean its not worth buying)

i'm sure if you bought an hks product in their first year it left something to be desired.

lol not true. myself and friends have overheated many of times (bad luck shit) and motors are still fine..its just catching it. the problem is most people drive around and probably never even check their gauge out during a drive..they look when they see steam or smoke. i CONSTANTLY observe my gauges. i think i look more at my gauges than the road lol.

i dont agree. the money you spend goes towards the company which you support, and in return they support you when there is a problem. otherwise, we end up having our forum flooded with stupid questions about shitty products that have no customer support. then we have a bunch of self-proclaimed experts trying to be Mr Tech who may or may not be right, tons of mis-information.

Its not about how much you spend, its about what you buy and what you support. There have always been companies that are value oriented, I consider greddy to be one of them. I mean, I dont consider their parts expensive. Or gauges, I dont consider VDO to be expensive. There are a lot of reasonably priced things out there.. but when you need super baller DEFI setup, well.. then you are paying for something very fancy, more fancy than what most people need.

I want to say that 99% of the parts on my car are authentic if not custom made. The 1% kockoff part was given to me by Omikron because he happened to have it laying around... but whatever. At the end of the day, I dont have a mod list hanging from the ass of my car and I dont care to advertise this stuff... authentic or not, the parts that are on my car are my business and no one elses. This is why I hate US car magazines, they're all about giving props to the companies that have given you sponsored parts.. its a fucking advertisement.


All they care about is building their Super Street grocery list.

Thats the problem d00d, the quality RARELY is there, its like 90% fail... 10% possible success. You just dont hear about high quality parts failing, because the parts are tested and raced with before theyre sold. You know, that thing called R&D. Im not saying its impossible, i'm just saying that chances are they dont. HKS, works bell, cusco, tomei, rays,......... make a list of failed parts and lets see how much we come up with. There is a reason why jay-dee-emm parts were/are so popular, and there is a reason why chinese companies copy them, and there is a reason why no one here is proud to have CDM parts on their cars. actually, i'll hang my balls out and say that i seriously doubt anyone has ever even used the term CDM (chinese domestic market) proudly for any of the cheap knockoff parts on their car. Does a CDM sticker even exist? I'll say NO, it fucking doesnt.


i got a question about the ka! i put in a aluminum crankshaft pulley on a semi stock block and i kept blowing out the front main seal. is there something special i need to do to make that not happen that i havent read about?? just curious

thats because these crank under-drive pulleys are garbage. get rid of that shit, its useless and doesnt do shit to improve performance. the best ones will lack harmonic dampening, the worst ones will probably have poor runout. if you seriously need a crank pulley, buy the ATI damper..

Just to get you excited, you typically see 5-8 whp on N/A SR20 with them. I'd relate 2-3 (edit) to dyno reading difference, but their is a slight gain. No different than a lightened flywheel.

If our dyno computer didn't eat a brown, I'd have current run files to show you.


And the entire 'dampened' vs whatever argument is so old it hurts. Show me where you can relate ANY engine failure to the undampened underdrive pulley, and I'll personally fly out there to give you a reach around. Of course after a beer. In all of my time, both street and track related, there has never ever ever been a case of Crank pulley enducing failure or even a remote instance of the crank pully being related to the issue. Edit - I can provide 2 example sof factory VQ pulleys seperating though.
\
Are they a wire choice to spend money on? no...less money can easily be spent elsewhere for equal gain. However their are some gains to be had with them.

I trust my greddy gauges. Knowing exactly where my temps are gives me great peace of mind and is one of the reasons I still have the same SR after almost 8 years.

much like getting rid of the clutch fan, the gains are negligible. for instance, i prefer having no clutch fan and shroud and using the electric fans... as long as the car isnt going to sit in traffic and what not. e-fans are more efficient until you use them for long periods of time, then they drain the electrical system and use your alternator.. so its a waste. but if you want a clean looking engine bay, ease of working in the engine bay, and cut out a small parasitic loss.. go for it.

the underdrive crank pulley is a heap of shit.. unorthodox racing tried to give me some shpeil about it not effecting the charging system. horseshit. i recall my wipers crawling along at idle because the alternator wasnt working as it should, i'de have to rev to 2k just to get the charge back. what am i gaining? shit. my friend at overboost wrote a tech article showing the differences in harmonics when he measured stock damper vs undampened race pulley. its pointless and puts your engine at risk.

bottom line, its not about it causing damage... its about it increasing the risks for negligible increase in performance. anyone with a working brain should say "yeah, probably not worth it, all things considering"

So would you go as far as to say that properly wired E-Fans overly stress the system at idle? I've personally never seen that, and just checked over logs of my car and didn't see any indication of that either. Top end yes, but nothing at idle.

I've never ever had an issue on any SR with that...same can be said for the domestic cars I've played with as well.

Without a doubt I can understand the con's of the system, and would even go as far to agree that it's not the best power per dollar (which I stated in my original post) but I do not believe, nor will I ever buy into the idea that they cause premature bearing wear or failure during the normal lifespan of a car. Sure the harmonic dapening ability may not be there, but how much does the lack of dapening really play a role on a street car

The use of it is all relative; to run off your point, anyone with half a brain should realize their are plenty of other things proven to be more dangerous that continue to be bought and sold. I hate to sound so damn redneck about it, but I have read all of the engineering behind why they suck, but have seen little proof (as in, broken junk) because of it. I know I know, works <> right, but there needs to be more cases for me to really believe into it.

i have to disagree with you here, I have been installing under drive light weight crank pulleys with light weight flywheels on SR and VG's all day even VQ's and never had a problem with them. it is a HUGE misconception people have about light weight pulleys. as long as you buy a quality made light weight pulley you will be ok.

reason people are breaking things is because they are buying those cheap pulleys that are "out of round" i personally recommend Unorthrodox Racing. (UR) or ATI everything else is just a cheap Taiwanese/Chinese Knock off.

Without a doubt the quality american based brands, and quality JDm brands are the only way I'd go, but in the other aspect of things, how 'off' could many of thse pulleys really be? For the shits of it I'd love to measure (officially) the knock off ones to see how far out they really are.

But yes, I too have never ever ever had or seen a issue related to a quality underdrive pulley, nor have I seen any issue 'bottom end' related to cars with the dampening material all but shot or missing in them (as above I've seen two Maxima's now with the dampener being seperated).

The ATI crank pulley seems pretty cool. If you do not have one already, I would splurge on that before accessory pulleys.

That being said, I have OBX accessory pulleys on my KA. The water pulley is quite a bit larger than the stock one, and the alternator and power steering pulleys appear to be about the same size. They are all noticeably lighter than their stock counterparts, although the benefit is most likely miniscule. So far they have not caused any trouble.

I also used to have the Unorthodox crank pulley. The car definitely revved quicker, and I never had a problem with it. However, I felt very paranoid using it with all the things I kept reading about undamped crank pulleys, and just staring it at mounted on the motor it appears all weak and brittle and unsafe-looking. I ended up switching back to the OEM crank pulley. Eventually, I may purchase the ATI damper.

ATI - The Dangers of Power Pulleys & Understanding the Harmonic Damper (http://www.atiracing.com/products/dampers/damper_dinan.htm)

Harmonics are not a joke, its a pretty complex subject that you can spend a lot of time researching. All I can say is read up.

As for the e-fan debate, its been discussed to death... my best suggestion would be to look at your fans and how many amps they consume, then look at your charging system and see how many amps you replenish. You need to look at how much time you spend in traffic. Cars that sit in traffic would benefit from a clutch-type fan, cars that dont sit in traffic would benefit from a e-fan. This is one of the reasons I dont think a RB or any straight-6 is designed for our cars, insufficient room for cooling.

well, thats an opinion based on your experience. and just because you install the parts, doesnt mean that you're qualified to do long-term testing and prove or disprove the issue here. i mean, you'de need to have a test-lab type environment to really put this topic to end. all i want to say is, that too many people spend money on parts and they have no fucking clue whether or not the part is an upgrade or downgrade. They just install shit that they add to a mod-list and call it an upgrade.

I used to have a UR pulley, maybe 10 years ago. I didnt think it rev'ved faster or slower.. if thats the case, then my car should rev even faster when I got rid of the AC and PS. Nothing really changed.


I'm pretty sure they all fade after time.

All anodized coatings fade, as far as I know.
