I need to complete a partial underdrive pulley set.

The previous owner installed part of a blue-anodized pulley set; I believe it's GReddy. From what I understand it's no longer being manufactured, but I'd like to replace the rest of the pulleys with uprated ones (preferably blue as well.) Do you guys know any sites that sell individual pulleys? Here's a pic of most of the stock ones, sorry I couldn't get a better one.

I don't think I've seen a kit which replaces the A/C pulley. You can find the Power Steering pulley which is the upper one you have in your box on the picture:

Heh, years ago I bought just a blue greddy water pump pulley sold separately. Maybe your alternator pulley is its long lost sibling.

Are there any issues with these pulleys? I'm not familiar with the company...

The company themselves are not very reputable (i.e. selling certain brand name product that aren't really the advertised brand). However, pullies are pullies... You won't have a problem with them.

I dunno, they look kinda... cheap. I'll probably just get some Unorthodox Racing ones and anodize 'em blue. I've seen their pulleys in person and was quite impressed with the quality.

It's your money; but size being equal, there's not a lot to go wrong with pullies.

Just keep in mind if you decide to use an Unorthodox crank pulley, installation needs to be done with more care than a "bolt-on" type.

They make a bolt-on pulley now (and have for a few years). I don't know if anyone still sells the old one any more because of the installation issues.

What's the difference among the three crank pulleys on the Unorthodox site?

Ah cool, didn't know they had updated the old-style pulley. Good to know, thanks!

Two of them are the old style which requires removal of the front hub. The difference between those two is just the finish (which is why they are both the same price). The more expensive one is the bolt-on pulley which doesn't require the front hub removal for installation.

Any change performance-wise? I wouldn't be doing the install, and my guys install "old-style" Unorthodox pulleys all the time.

Well, I guess I'll go with the cheaper one then. I'm getting a batch price on the anodizing, so I can throw in anything else I want blue. I want to do some bits and bobs without making it too ricey, any suggestions?
