here was solution for about 40 bucks and 10 minutes on the lathe
stock weighed in at 6.8 pounds mine weighs .8 so 6 pounds lost at the crank

Not only does it need to be balanced well, you also need to run either A/C or PS so that there is equal pull on both sides of the pully.
I added power steering and gained heaps of engine speed, go figure.
but i dont agree with those ideas and yes its balanced
if you put a total peice of shit on there and you adjust your belts all crazy then yea your asking for it
ce5rtain engines need dampeners more than other like V8's they love dampeners
honda i think are chill
you can buy a CTR pulley ORM honda single pulley no dampener
ANYWAY
i think over the duration of 200,000 or more miles which hondas happily run and then some there are issue's that do come from the pulley's
so i feel that a single dampened pulley would be the best option but i will prolley have this motor out within 2 years for a rebuild or a replacement or god knows what so im not worried
like i said it was only a few bucks it looks cool and was a fun project
I was so so very surprised at how much quicker my ZC revvs with the power steering added.
i think these things through so no worries if it sucks im prepared ....
i wish someone would like produce a shit load of tests on this stuff i have some many ideas and stuff with motors but noone has tried and true knowledge ....... it would be neat to see dyno pulls like on your car with and without the power steering
and mine with and without the pulley
you know stuff like that
Sorry , but its not a myth. As far as the ctry pulley goes, see thats where you are really wrong. You are talking about the N1 pulley which is ment for the Type R race car series, if you look into it, it says the engines in these cars are ment to be replace every race. And infact someone pulled some more info up and they infact will ruin bearings in the long run.
For the gain you will see, its not worth it. I just read that you are rebuilding the engine, so go crazy, just wanted to warn you.
And as far as test go, if you look a little more someone actually did a sound wave/vibration test ( forgot the name ) but the crank pulley is ment to absorb the vibration of the engine.
it will be shifted at god knows what rpm 8,500 plus i assume
where as mine wont see anything over stock rev limiter
i mean i do agree that it isnt the best way to go
but i have looked at my stock pulley and it really isn't a miracle of dampeneing im sure a little rubber goes a long way but it isnt a giant fluid filled super dampener you find on a small block chevy
and the pulley is also under driven (the one i made) so thats a plus
i dunno im gonna do some research on this topic cause after all this debateing i wanna learn more
but my main rebuttle to you is simpley put it wont be driven like a race car and will hardly see the conditions that your talking about let along non stop for long periods
the only problem i see is maybe some added harshness due to the increase in vibration but i dont think that will be directly transfered to the engines bearings
