Hey guys, I've been reading about pros and cons of an aftermarket crank pulley. A lot of you say that a non under-driven is better that the under-driven. I purchased an Unorthodox Crank pulley that is under-driven. I've heard that this will cause some electrical issues, like dim headlights at stop. My question is, if you have a voltage stabilizer, will this fix the issue?

Maybe but why even mess with it. I would sell the underdriven pulley and buy a stock size lightened pulley such as a Group A or Perrin. Then everything works correctly and you don't have to worry about a different size belt or anything. Just my .02 cents!

If you got it with belts, then just put it on and see how it works with your car.

If you've yet to buy belts, consider selling it and purchasing a drop-in lightweight version instead.

with a voltage stabilizer? no, you're still underdriving the alternator making it put out less watts than it normally would.
