Not with the extra equipment you're running in your car.

I've noticed no difference in charging. I also know no one that has complained or didn't notice any increase in power from the 100s that I've seen......

I just installed my pulleys yesterday, and I have had no problems. I think this pulley thing is way overrated. I have about 1600w rms of power going through my car, and I am not worried about pulleys causing an issue. I had them on my GS-R with no problems at all. As long as you drive your engine, and rev it up a bit you will be fine. Dont do something stupid like sit there at idle for one hour, and not give the car any gas. Then you will have a problem. And this would be with a system.

I dont know if it is the same with the accord pulleys, but on the v6 accord, i think they take the engince out because it is too hard to install the pulley from the engine bay. At least that is what my friend with a v6 accord said when he got his pulleys installed.

Hell no....maybe jack the engine off the mounts a little for more room...otherwise, install would be a lot more than what it is.

I highly doubt they remove the engine. If they did, your 100 dollar pulleys would cost a grand.

Yeah UR is a little better

Its not recommended to use underdrive or overdrive crank pulleys, only light weight, however a lot of people use the under/over and it works great.

the under/over alternator pulley is a bad idea if you have a system, peroid.

im going to do light weight crank and power steering, thats it.
