Default Crank pullys on an accent?

I want to put under drive crank pullys on my Accent. Does anyone know where I can find some and how hard are they to install?

They arnt that hard to install, are you just doing the crank pulley or all the other pulleys?

Do you have air tools? If so it will make taking the crank bolt off a lot easier.

There is a DIY on RDT regarding timing belts that has a section about taking off the crank pulley. While not the same car the concept should carry over.

EDIT- the diy on RDT doesnt have pics anymore...

The reason that it's not worth it is that by the time you've made 10% more power than stock with N/A bolt ons you could easily have made 50% more power with forced induction for the same cost.

Trust me, I could easily have built a nice turbo setup for the same cost as I've spent on N/A mods and I'm only up to 100whp.

i had about 2000 worth of bolt ons on my car...and i only dropped about a second in the quarter mile

if i ever ran the nitrous at the track i probably would have dipped another second on top of it for about 1/4 of the cost

I/H/E/ will probably run you around 700...for 10-15hp
