113, AF/X vs. Unorthodox Posted by Raz, Apr-02-01 10:57 AM I'm trying to decide which under drive pulley to get. Any comments either good or bad about AF/X or Unothodox Racing would be much appreciated. Thanks.
114, RE: AF/X vs. Unorthodox Posted by fly1, Apr-02-01 12:15 PM Performance wise, the AF/X piece really works, BUT mine makes a "tinny", vibrational sound. It drives me nuts; it makes my car sound like a POS. I haven't heard too much of Unorthodox's though. ~fly1 http://fastgs.homestead.com/fastgs.html
115, RE: AF/X vs. Unorthodox Posted by klipzracer, Apr-02-01 12:52 PM i heard the AFX is lighter which = more horseys! Chris Project RS http://klipzracer.homestead.com/index.html "Life is short, rev hard!" chrisdishmon@hotmail.com
116, Unorthodox... Posted by Skrilla, Apr-02-01 12:55 PM ...is good but doesn't provide the power the AFX does. The unorthodox will underdrive 30% but weighs more. So get the AFX and some PREMIUM belts Skrilla '97 Base Talon NA "Technology: The Only Replacement for Displacement" "Peace and Turbo Grease"
117, RE: Unorthodox... Posted by Michael_97RS, Apr-03-01 02:04 AM Skrilla, did unorthodox change their design? I thought they were 20% underdrive? I love my AF/X pulley. I don't get any of the sounds you guys notice, my belts don't squeal, I don't hear any tinny noise. I love it! Are you guys sure your pulley went are perfectly straight. If it didn't I could some of these problems occuring??? Just a thought??? "To strive to seek to find... and not to yield." Michael J.

118, RE: Unorthodox... Posted by Raz, Apr-03-01 07:44 AM If you go to unorthodox's website, on a similar 2.0 engine(Neon) the unorthodox produced 8.2hp at the wheels. Did anybody have their car on a dyno before, then after the AF/X was put on? If not, any guesstimates as to how much hp the AF/X produces.
119, RE: Unorthodox... Posted by Michael_97RS, Apr-03-01 08:10 AM I didn't dyno, but if I remember right AF/X gave 11hp at peak extra. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

120, Unorthodox... Posted by Skrilla, Apr-03-01 08:30 AM has one that is 20% and a brand new one (I think they call it the 2nd gen) that is at 30%. The AF/X on the Neons have 11@wheelHP and ours is lighter than their so we would gain at least 12HP@THEWHEELS or more.

121, RE: Unorthodox... Posted by HadesOmega, Apr-03-01 08:08 PM I remember that it was 20% underdrive for the Unorthodox and 30% for the AFX. I got an AFX, I don't really notice the horseys anymore cuz I guess I got used to it, but it made my car more responsive and should make your engine last longer. I had problems with my belts squeking apparently on my particular eclipse the belt was too big so I bought one that was smaller. Well I'd suggest getting the AFX... :)
122, RE: Unorthodox... Posted by Pinoy97GS, Apr-04-01 01:31 AM Does AFX have a website about their pulleys?
