Does anyone have any aftermarket pulleys on their 93-97 Corolla? Or does anyone know any place to get them? I've searched a lot of places, but I haven't been able to find any aftermarket pulley set anywhere.

Yea I really have no idea man. I kinda remember seeing it somewhere maybe, but since you've searched so much and found nothing, I'm probably just imagining.
Thanks man, you're the first person I've talked to that has found them!!!!!
I have a manual 1.8L.... Why didn't you like it? What type of difference does it make? Any increase in HP, or drop in loss of HP? Thanks for the info.
The apparent advantage is faster rev-up.
The disadvantage is that when you take your foot off the pedal, you'll find the rev drops quickly. This means your car will decelerate more than when you have the stock pulley on, and you have to press the pedal deeper for a next act of acceleration. On a car with auto transmission, the effect is that as the rev goes up faster, the gear shifts up earlier than expected, unless you press the pedal deeper. What I felt is that the gearbox became over-sensitive, shifting up and down more frequently than as necessary because of the drastic rev change.
By the way, as the result of the weight-reduction of the pulley, it takes more time for the car reach the maximum speed.
Since your car is a manual, you can decide on when it is appropriate to shift the gear up and down. I don't like to treat an auto like a manual.

No... the pullies don't make that big of a difference. What you describe is closer to a light flywheel. The pullies, whether it be accesory pullies or the crank pulley, doesn't really have that dramatic of affect on the engine's response. It more or less reduces engine power used on the accesories.
I used to run an ASP underdrive crank pulley on my Celica ST (7AFE). The idea behind performance pullies is to reduce the amount of power the engine uses to turn the accesories. For the most part, I don't know of many companies that make underdrive accesory pullies. I do know of an underdrive crank pulley, and it did make a nice difference on my Celica.

Come on, don't be so hasty to say NO to me. That hurts me
But Ihave to say no to you too. The weight-reduced crank pulley did made a difference that was big enough for me to sense it. Otherwise why did I bother to spend money having a mechanic remove it and then to sell it to another person?
Besides, I'm sure what I got onto my car was a crank pulley, not a flywhell. The link I gave in my previous reply shows that's a pulley. A weight-reduced pulley on your Celica did make a difference, a nice difference. But on my car it made a bad difference. What makes a difference is the "moment of inertia." And it makes a difference that may be viewed differently by different people. Its advantages may suit your needs, but not mine. So, that's the difference.

What you describe is a big difference that is felt by the drivetrain. The crank pulley, although may slightly affect the crank response, doesn't neccesarily affect the drivetrain as dramatically as you say. It just doesn't. A light flywheel, yes. That will show some big engine response and will dramatically affect engine braking, but the underdrive crank pulley's MAIN purpose, is to reduce power drain by the accessories. If you've never run both, how can you make that assumption?

Don't think any aftermarket alum pulley got dampener.
Anyway it doesn't worth the trouble until you got nothing else to do and you need that extra 1-2 HP.
