i ordered them put the water pump and alt pulley on but im too scared to try the crank pulley i hear without the harmonic balancer it ruins engines dont know for sure but doesnt seem worth the risk i recomend trying TR1 pulleys i believe their crank pulley has a balancer

I like the t1r ones if they were another color lol

Does the t1r crank pulley really have a balancer?

So i wrote a quick email to Ralco about there pulleys and told them that the stock crankshaft has a Harmonic Damper and they wrote back and said this. I have a Honda Mechanic looking into more info about it too

Hello,

This is false information we have our own S2000 with 112,000 miles on it with this pulley for 3 years now and runs perfectly fine we never even changed belts since first install 3 years ago. Car now has 123,000 miles and runs like new.

ok so looking at these photos we deff have a harmonic balancer. it's the top left pulley in the pic. well thats my decision. i'm just going to put the alt and water pump on. all the mechanics i have talked to said DON'T CHANGE THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY!!!!

I've seen Spoon and Toda use solid aluminum pulleys. Don't see what the problem is.
