Thanks for your feedback Clordio!
A few people have complained about this item being pricey, and it is priced higher than I would've liked. I wanted to price them at 145$ as previously advertised, but a few unexpected costs showed up, and some other costs turned up higher than forecasted.
The people whom have purchased and installed these have been fully satisfied and think this item is well worth the money. See Apichan's comments below. Kizer installed a similar product a couple of years back.

Those of you thinking a group-buy would have been cheaper, UR would not manufacture these in batches less than 30 units, and their price would've been 140-150$. But how long would it take to get 30 firm orders for a 16-19 year-old car? A year? That's why UR discontinued this item 10 years ago. By buying a batch of 30 up-front and by having a few other orders in the works with them I was able to get a volume discount and get the pulleys on the market without any firm orders. 175$ is the rock-bottom price I need to cover my costs.
I've been running this pulley on my daily driver for 2 months, I've put over 3000 kilometers on it and it's revving like a charm. There's a stronger pull and I even save gas.

I didn't mean to insult the price or anything, I understand you went out of your way to get a mass buy of these things and to be able to do the service of reselling them to us. I plan on getting one just a bit broke at the moment ha ha.

Just a head's up,
8 days left on the B13 pulleys.
I will not be renewing this listing at this time,
I have reached a deal with some local performance shops.
They are interested in whatever I have left.
Will this work on a 2-belt (no-power steering) engine? I have a 92 Sentra E. It's about as base as they come. Did UR only make a 3-belt version of this pulley?
I just can’t resist to be amaze with a writer who are truly exceptional for they articles that are really interesting to a blogger like me. I will not spend time reading an article when the topic is not important or has no the significant. You did a good job for always providing relevant and meaningful article.

It should work. UR only made a 3-belt layout for this engine, and I only have 2 belts on mine (no AC). I'll ask my buddy at UR to make sure.

Cool. Let me know what he says. I may buy one of these from you if it will work. Also, what size belts will I need or will standard size work? I have one belt that goes from crank>alternator>water pump, and another that goes from crank>idler>AC. Thanks.

Just heard back from my contact at UR. He says this pulley should still work on your setup. It is a B13, right? Not a B12 Classic, right?
As for the belts, the stock size will not work with the new pulley. The instructions that come with the pulley only list what the new belt sizes are for the 3 belt layout, and I do have those belts in stock. For the 2 belt layout, you would need to find your new belt size. Any experienced mechanic will be able to tell you what new size belt you need by comparing your old pulley to the new one.
I do have a B13. My only other concern is that this pulley will spin the AC compressor a little slower which will result in warmer air. Is this truly the case? I live in Dallas, TX so needless to say I need my AC to blow cold 9 months out of the year. Let me know. Thanks again.

That's a common concern regarding underdrive pulleys. They do spin the accessories slower compared to the stock pulley, but stock pulleys typically spin the accessories faster than needed in the first place. If your AC system is working properly, the slight underdrive it will get will not be noticeable.
