unorthodox single crank pulley

the other two pulley's are for looks and offer no weight savings or size difference...

maybe .2 ounces if anything...

Just get the light crank pulley from kjr. That way you can keep the same size belts...and you get the performance too.

True, but according to UR, they dont gain anything noticeable from underdriving. Most of their gains are from reduced weight. It's really either/or. I had a set on my Celica. On my Z, I have the KJR with my Turbonetics kit, and absolutely love it - I just wish I would have installed the pulley at the same time I did the turbo so I wouldnt have had to remove piping.

Where we have found the UR pulley to shine, was while track driving, it doesnt turn the power steering pump as fast, so the fluid stayed in the cooler a little longer... So the powersteering didnt cut out as it did with a stock sized pully...

Both are great pulleys, we sell both on our site.
We sell a lot of both.
I have used both, and both fit well, work well, etc...
it's really up to the user, if you want to go with the underdrive style of pulley or not. That means new belts.. Some people don't like that, so the opt for KJR.

I use KJR on my car currently....
