1st:
Yes the crank pulley is an underdrive one. I wouldn't worry about underdriving too much. It's the balancing element of pulleys that are a cause of concern. From what everyone has told me, we are fortunate to have balanced engines.
2nd:
<span style="color:#009900">You can trade with me. </span>I have a round Power Steering Pulley and I need a splined one for my pump. You have a splined one and need a round one. An even trade.
3rd:
The Water Pump Pulley is the hardest to install because of the location AND the least impactful. The OEM WP Pulley is light. The aftermarket pulley is around 30-40% lighter, not alot of difference is going to be felt. You will have to lift the engine 3-4 inches after unfastening the front engine mount. That makes it alot easier. Then, just screw it on to the Power Steering inner pulley and you should be set.

DAMN!!!
Here is what SR's response was:
Aviv,
As we state on the order page, the original red water pulley sold out,
so we made new ones. The other pullies, the power and crank pullies,
when they sell out, we will also get them made in the silver.
For the water pulleyk, have you tried installing it yet?

LMAO
That's typical SR bullshit.
The reason they "Sold out" is GIM was a shitty MFR and went out of business.
Get a refund, send them back, I can hook you up now that I know what to do.

Im going to ask for a refund for just the PS pulley. I like the other two where they are (replacing them would work out too time consuming and not worth it IMO)
If you get splined PS pulleys made/ sold, I'll take one. Otherwise, I'll make do with what I've got.

No worries Jaws, I'll be having a full kit setup on Kspec.com for these soon, Jspeed Pulleys too.
Only thing you'll have to get is the belts, but I'll post the sizes.

good ole shark racing.. the mod still seems like its way too much $$ and not enough performance out of it.. may be nice cuz they look pretty, but for 200-300 or w/e they run, and having to do all that work, and getting no butt dyno gains seems a lil rediculous... wonder if it would benifet boosted cars more.. hmmm..
