just recieved my underdrive pulley and noticed it is smaller then then oem. ok i knew this what my kwestion is, is it just r and r or do i have to worry about timing or even belt size.

if it didnt come with a belt, your going to have to buy oneif you got something smart to say, guess what, i dont care. -
is it smaller or is it smaller then oem? if so does any one know a part number or where i can pick one upComment

i heard underdrive pulleys mess around with the harmonic resonance of the engine at high rpm and can really shorten the lifetime of the main bearings by causing the crankshaft flex and vibrate
...any truth in this?
I was talking with my mechanic, who also races Honda's himself, and he recommended I rather get a harmonic damper like the Fluidampr piece below. This keeps the harmonic resonance of the motor at a relatively constant rate and avoids spikes in engine vibrations thus keeping running parts under relatively stable dynamic stresses. Reducing rotating mass of the engine he said should rather be achieved through lighter flywheels, lighter internal, and even lighter auxiliary pulleys (alternator, powersteering).

I've been running an Unorthodox Racing pulley for years with no problems. I wouldn't get a cheap pulley (like those $60 ebay things), but I would trust the quality ones. As long as it's properly balanced, it shouldn't cause an issue.
As for the size, it's supposed to be smaller. That's the point. If you didn't even know that, why did you buy it?
If it didn't come with a belt, get a cloth tape measure and wrap it around the belted areas. That'll tell you the length of the belt needed. Then go to an autoparts store and find the proper length with the proper ribbing. A belt is a belt, as long as it fits.
If you got a cheap no-name pulley, I would strongly recommend not using it.

How can you expect people to answer your question accurately, when you can not even type it out properly?!?! Common sense, this really irritates me, you're lucky you're not posting on the official forum or I'd delete your thread entirely, so please learn from this. Your laziness in asking the question implies your attitude, so why should anyone go through the trouble of answering you?Originally posted by skatbox
I'd add my input, but I can't understand your question.

thats cool with me the guy above you answered the question. this is what irritates me that the forum the question was aske is in the beginners. now i did know the pulley was smaller, which is stated in my first post. now i was asking about belt size. my lazyness has nothing to do with this just wanting to learn. this is my first honda. i drag race saturns which is my field and add little bolt on stuff is not a question and for those who doubt saturns i was running low 14's with an auto tranny and NA. so with that said dude its just a question. get off your high horse and try to help these young kats. peace......Comment

i really dont see the difficulty of my thread sorry for defending myself but, my thread was to the point r and r is remove and replace basic mechanics and timing all cars have it plus belt size, ah i do believe that my accord runs with a serpintine belt which you can purchase different sizes meaning one: w/ps and a/c, plus one: w/o ps but w/ a/c and one w/o ps and w/o a/c. sorry for the confusing to anyone but my question was answered quick by the 2nd and 4th post. sorry also for my speeling i am a graffiti artist thats spells things to the simplest form.Comment
