I thought the same thing. Dead battery.
If your CLP draws the same current as the Accord EX (which I think it does). It'll die
in a matter of a couple months.

Bwahahahaha...

Take a look at my trunk:


Now take a look under my hood:


My Pulleys were installed on Nov 14, 2000...
Number of dead batteries: 0
Number of miles on my car since Oct 31, 1999: 34,000
Number of watts my stereo pushes: 590

It's as simple as common sense! Don't crank your stereo if you're stuck in traffic for an hour. Don't crank your stereo if you are washing your car for two hours with the engine off. As long as your engines RPM's are over 1,000 to 1,200 rpms your will be generating the same amount of voltage as if you had the stock pulleys. Several people have done tests with voltmeters (not sure what the exact name is) to measure the affect of the pulleys on the charging system.

Dead batteries are the scare tactic for pulleys like hydro lock is for CAI. Use your head and you won't have a problem.

If you guys are underdriving your crank pulley, are you not concerned with torsional vibration damage to the crank or do they (the aftermarket supplier) provide a dampener?

Hey CLpower...you got the 98-00 Accords right? Where are you getting them installed? For how much...I wanted to get the pulley's too, but just wanted to figure out the details first.

Not a problem, AEM only underdrives the alternator and power steering pulleys. Unorthodox racing is the company that makes the crank pulleys but I don't think they have made any for V6 Hondas yet.

B-Nut,

Notice any improvement in acceleration? Does the engine rev quicker now than before?

The biggest difference I noted was in off the line acceleration... My 60ft times dropped from high 2.3's and low 2.4's to low 2.3's and 2.29's! Chirping the tires with partial throttle is a breeze now. I used to have dang near stomp the peddle just to get a chirp.

Bad thing is dyno's don't show low RPM gains. The RPM's do increase quicker!

Please... what the hell do I look like, the anti christ?
Why would I try to scare people away from pulleys?

Gee it's damn nice to know you didn't have a problem,
but 2 of us on this board did. My car was stock with
the exception of 55 watt headlight bulbs. I always had
climate control, my headlights and stereo on. I'm not
going to sacrifice comfort like not listening to my stereo
in rush hour for 3 hp.

Simple physics show hydrolock is near impossible.
But, it's freaking obvious you'll create less current with
underdrive pulleys.

I wish you good luck on your mod and hope you don't
have problems. But, to tell two people who are trying to
help, that they are liars and using scare tactics. That's
just uncalled for.

I don't know why I'm bothering to explain this. You have to completely
submerge the end of the intake in water. Since the AEM CAI is nearly
a foot off the ground, you'd have to be driving pretty carelessly to sub-
merge it. You'd have water coming into your doors at that depth.

A lot of cases of hydrolock doesn't come from people sucking water in
with their intake. I've had an engine destroyed because of hydrolock.
It was engine coolent that had come through the head gasket.

So like I said, hydrolock is near impossible... unless you drive
through swimming pools quite often. But, believe what you want.

suggestion to pulley people


install pulleys

go to sears or whoever

check for charge current at idle and with different accesories on.

when voltage drops below 12.5v - 13.1v with accesories, etc -- note that speed down.

then just don't drive with radio / stereo / nav / etc under XXX revs


ok -- measure size of original pulley

ok -- measure size on new pully

compute ratio

adjust idle speed accordingly (if you have everything turned on)

stock --> 600 rpm

new pulley .9 underdive, new idle is

600 / .9 = 666.666666 (sign of the antichrist -- car will blow up ... j/k

BTW, stock idle speed is 750 revs as a base. At least this is what the PCM tries to command with the use of the IAC. The religious side note was very funny, I did like it...

Actually I plan on using my laptop to monitor the voltage levels with accessories off and then incrementally on (one at a time) and log this at 10 second intervals. Data Acquisition is something I do enjoy.

IMO, the only way to solve the debate is to do testing. One problem I see is the installation issue. If not properly installed or made there can be slippage of the belt or pulley which would lead to problems. Instead of speculating on this issue, we can do testing and present the results for interpretation. More to follow...
