It's been a while, but I don't remember there being an oil pump on any pulley on a Honda engine... oh wait, that's cuz there ISN'T. There are alt, p/s pump, A/C and that's it. You can underdrive these without any real disadvantages. Maybe about a 2-4 hp reduction in parasitic loss. You should really do header and t-body since you say it's chipped, so those two should really help liven up your car combined with the chip, depending on the program you run.

thanks dude .....somebody also told me that the ported from 58 to 62 t-tbody can crack becouse its thiner now .......
so ist safe to put lighter crankshaft puley and underdrive puleys to alt and pumps.........? i will go to headers but dc have only for b16a2 and not for b16a1 ..... is the same manifold ?

Depends on the diameter of the pulley, and also the manufacturer... reason being, so manufactureres just do the crank pulley so automatically everything is underdriven, and some manufacturers do the other 2 or three just for looks, and also to make them lighter.

Just do a type R throttle body if you can... or see if Leitner Perf can bore yours out.

As for headers, you have OBDI, so yes... plus B-series headers are interchangable in terms of bolt pattern, but I don't know about the down pipe and clearance inside your chassis and with the ground too! Ask someone who's got some... just chech back someone will speak up sooner orlate

i am in greece so i can not go to leitner......
other problem is from 9000rpm 1st gear change to 2 gear it drop rpm to 4500 so its out of v tec and it goes up slow and wake up after 5800 ......what is this ? other b16a do not do it ........i can not find crx with dc ....many wear supersprint here and i have my b pipes ported .....but an 4to1 if i find it will be great .......

Ohhhh.... riiite....

OK, then, if you wanna keep the car in VTEC through gear changes, you need to swap trannies. Did you swap your engine? How about the tranny? Need a close ratio gearbox...

amid

is it ok fo change my tyres from 195 60 14 to 185 60 14 ? or better 195 55 14 ? to shorten the gears ?

That still won't keep you in VTEC. Think about it long and hard... It'll get you back into VTEC more quickly though, but it won't keep you in there after a shift.
