Default Underdrive pulley from kpec is good?

I want to know if the kpecs pulley can compare to Unorthodox, anybody have tried before?
Kpecs underdrive pulley is also cheaper than Unorthodox too.

Where can I find the all pulley set for the elantra '97

I have the unorthodox pulley.. except for having to tighten the belts up a little bit more once the cold weather hit.. I have had NO problems with it.

You can't say there is absolutely no difference between the two unless you have compared them side by side.


However, I will say this, there are so manyother places you could spend that money that will make much more of a difference. Don't expect to see much gain from any underdrive pulley you choose.

I will not say I saw a Hp gain.. it is hard to say because I also installed the 1.8 cam at the same time.. I can say that the car is easier to stall and it revs a little more freely with the Undersdrive pulley.. if for no other reason than the 4.5 pounds I took of dead momentium off of the recipercating mass of the engine. I was surprised at how much the stock pulley/balancer weighed.

That is the pain of it.. there literally is NO room between the front of the engine and the pulleys

you gotta take off the front passenger side wheel.. and you can seee all the pullies when you remove the fenderwall lining.. and loosen the belts around the pullies.. and just take out the pulley and put in the new one.. but taking the bolt off the pully can be a difficult task depending on how tight on that thing is.. and usually its verrry tight..
