i had one on my 00 Si, it was a CTR N1 pulley from honda…although it was OEM it wouldnt be a wise decision to run one on a daily. it can cause problems with your rotating assm. The money is better spent (and gains will be made easier) in other places ---

If it’s not SFI approved, or a stock balancer, you DONT want it on the end of your crank. Maybe it’s just me. nah man, i say that all the time. Fluidampr brand, or another SFI approved weighted damper, or the stock balancer. nothing else. lightweight crank pullies are bad news. i remember a test that was done with a VW 1.8t, stock vs lightweight vs Fluidampr brand SFI damper. lost power with the lightweight, and gained a bit over 5WHP with the fluidampr, as well as reducing vibration from the engine. ---

i wouldn’t touch the motor, i let mine stock and had no interest in doing any performance stuff to it. it’s a luxury sedan, why make it a PITA to drive? do the a-spec lip kit and wheels with a nice 1.5" drop and call it a day. LEAVE THE REST ALONE! doing the down pipe only leads to a possible exhaust leak which is gay doing an intake only leads to a possible cel light on which is gay leave it alone ---
