i keep hering that changing the pulleys may cause the engine to go? can someone get back to me on this???

 

Still in debate. The AEM Power pullies are fine. They only include 2 pullies. 1 power steering, & 1 alternator. At most those kits will make the steering a little bit harder.
The kits that have 3 pullies include a crankshaft pully. There are many sources that say changing the crankshaft pully will cause the engine to be unbalanced, & may result in engine damage. However they are about the same number of sources that say those kinds of pullies are fine, & will not damage the engine. For the CL-S, only 1 aftermarket source started making the 3 pully set, & they are new, & really still testing on long term use.

 

I'm getting mine installed tomorrow, I'll let you know if its still running

 

It is still unsettled, but IMHO (which isn't that informed), I tend to think that they are OK, to my knowledge, there have been ZERO reported problems on the CL so far.... but only time will tell for sure.

 

There's two mods that I will never buy: pulleys and those steel brake lines. The gain from pulleys is not worth the trouble they might cause. They can cause thousands of dollars in damage and that's not something I'm willing to risk just for some more HP.

 

Im getting mine installed tomorrow, Ill post results

 

If problems do arise it will take time for them to happen.... (many months depending on your driving style)

 

Why won't you get steel brake lines?

 

Problems with SS brake lines is that you can't really check them for long term use. The actual tubes are covered with SS and if (god forbid) the tubes start to crack or get punctured, you wont be able to tell visually untill it's too late. When you get normal brake inspection, they would probably just pass the lines up. It's not untill you actually drive it around would you be able to tell that something is wrong.
