have a 95 si and just got an aem alternator pulley... what will this do for me on its own? what other ones are in the set? will it be better to get the other ones before putting on this aem pulley? let me know what to do. can i get the others without getting the aleternator pulley?

the only other option from AEM is the powersteering pully. Some companies make another pully but our cars reqiure the harmonic balancer for longevity. So stay away. The alternator pully alone may net you 1 hp, overall pullies help low end power but don't expect more than 3-4 hp with a complete set.

You will notice dimming of the headlights at idle and if you have a system that may be affected as well

i have the pulleys and i didnt feel much of a difference, but it does add a little bit nicer look to the enigne. I know a test was done with a stock vtec on the dyno, and then a vtec with pulleys (only upgrade) and the hp gain was around 8 i believe....do a search to find the article im talking about.

isn't there a set for the Si 92-96 that comes with the alternator pulley and something else? is that the powersteerting pully? can i use my stock belts or do i have to use aem ones?

the AEM Tru-Power pulley set comes with the p/s and alt pulley, however u can not use the stock belt. The aem pulleys are bigger than the stock ones, therefore a bigger bet is needed, however they are included with the aem pulleyes.. make sure u save the packagine for the aftermarket belts incase one wears down, that way u have the refrence numbers to buy a replacement.

u think i could get a p/s pulley off someone i only have the alternator and how much do the belts cost
