I'm looking to get an aftermarket crank pulley because the one off the donor motor b16 is chipped and the one on the motor i gotta put in the beater is chipped too. so the one in the car has to go on the donor motor but i still need one for my ls/vtec build.

i'm not crazy about the ones on ebay and the UR one is a little more than i wanna spend. Megan racing makes one but i dunno if i have to have it balanced or have it on the crank when i send it out to get balanced. saving a few pounds would be great but i don't expect to gain alot of power from it, i just want a reliable aftermarket replacement.

someone please enlighten me.

 

i'd personally only use a CTR pulley or fluiddampner (but they're $$$).
Getting it balanced with the rest of your rotating assembly is a great idea and i'm sure the machine shop you took your stuff to would ask for it if you were to have them balance your rotating assembly anyways.

 

i haven't sent anything out for machining yet but when i want the "Rotating assembly" balanced what exactly do i have to send them? i gotta send in the crank, rods, maincaps and block anyways. they all need work (Honing mostly). if i get a pulley, that too.

 

you'll need to send them the crank, rods, pistons, bearings, flywheel, pressure plate and crank pulley.
