I'm trying to find the Unorthodox SS kit for my car. I had this kit on my RSX and it made a big difference. the pulleys were 20lbs lighter than stock. less rotating weight = more power

I'm running the 1st gen aluminum Fluidampr on my car....

As for performance, I'm not sure if I gained anything.

I wouldn't run any crank pulley on a 4 cyl motor that didn't have a dampener like the Fluidamr/OEM does. The rotational mass you save isn't worth sacrificing your engine.

Both Fluidampr and ATI make products for the 4G63 engine.

There is a big difference between a HP harmonic balancer (like the Fluidampr and ATI) and a undamped pulley. The former are good; the latter is very bad.
