anyone actually dyno'd AEMpullies?

[tommybanzai]

you know, one thing that seems to be a common denominator here is this, people say they have used the pulleys on their N/A motor and had absolutely no problems, but once they turbo their motor and continue using the pulley, they shatter their oil pump. Which makes me wonder if engine "harmonics" is increased thru the excess compressed air in the combustion chamber (as this makes the most sense), or if their oil pump was already taking a shit because they beat the hell out of their motor and then they put on the pulley and beat on it worse because of the fact that it revs faster, thus causing the part to fail....

oil cooled turbo's....engine runs a lot hotter....might have some effects of scattering oil pumps on turbo cars....smell what i am stepping in?

exactly, like i said it seems like people are destroying their pumps once they go boosted

Of course your gonna run into more frequent problems if you boost a car that wasn't originally meant to handle that..... common sense right, I don't need evidnetial proof to back that up right? Placing an additional oil cooled object would cause more work for the pump, which places a bigger strian...u guys follow, right? Couldn't the pulley in effect since it is a lighter weight turn the pump at a lesser speed/rotation/revolution/something of that nature?
Maybe this would not be depramental enough to effect an NA motor, but the additional work for the oil fed turbo would effect it enough to cause failure....no proof, just speculation

with boost?

no boost. i am against boost on hondas

explains your lack of knowledge then

quite the contrary, just because i am against something does not mean that i do not know about it. who are you again?

exactly, this is why i want some actual evidence showing that the pulley caused the damage on the motors, which is what no one can provide (not saying YOU, saying no one who has ever made the claim that the pulley caused the damage on a honda motor has ever proven it with evidence).

[mr.green]

OK, you say no one has given you proof that this pulley is to blame, however you have not given anyone information on what DID cause this to happen...why don't you back your theory with proof that this didn't cause the oil pump failure and tell everyone what did.

I'm not in a repair garage everyday, ( ok honestly i am,but not working in it) but I honestly can't imagine an oil pump failing too often and do not see it happening. When was the last time you talked to someone with a repair bill in their hand bitching that the oil pump when in their car and cost them a bundle?

you should take a look at his sig before asking that...

meh, not of my concern, i saw that already, all the guy said is "explains your lack of knowledge" when he did not post anything useful anyways. i see he has some high hp drag cars. good for him.

thats what makes it a theory now isnt it? i dont have the time/money/resources to do such a test at this point in time
