Here's my situation:
I have a JDM B16a in my del sol and up until yesterday was running both my A/C and P/S. My crank pulley has been cracked for a long time now and i have been looking into replacing it, but was (and still am) a little reluctant/scared to get anything other than the stock b16a pulley to replace it.
Yesterday, somehow i snapped the bolt that holds the A/C pulley bracket in place and to get the pulley and bracket out i cut the P/S belt. So now i have no P/S or A/C. I like the performance gains of it, so i'm considering getting rid of the A/C and P/S for good.
Now heres my question....
What is everyone's opinions on the CTR N1 race crank pulley?
From my uinderstanding, the CTR one does NOT have a harmonic balancer, so will I be asking for trouble if i rip the A/C and P/S out and run a non-balanced much lighter crank pulley?
What about getting the ITR crank pulley instead?
Its lighter than the B16a and balanced right?....and with it i can still reconnect my A/C and P/S right?
thanks for any input.
