FWIW - I use a one piece pulley in the stock size only because I don't want another disintegrating rubber dampener episode. Had nothing to do with performance and I didn't see any kind of seat of the pants gain from it.

I drove Khalil's mostly stock SVX and then mine (pre pwr rad) right after. Didn't seem to rev any differently.

Okay...so nobody actually adressed a question, and heck, IM GONNA ANSWER IT! MWAHAHA!!
thats right...I actually KNOW stuff The crank pully for the svx is exactly the same as it is for the 1992 legacy L wagon. I know this because I did my sisters crank pully on her legacy, and used an svx pully as replacment. they are one in the same. I can further assume that all subaru crank pullys from a similar year, or possibly even as present, are the same As far as the aftermarket thing. No. It wont make any notable power gains. But yes, its shiney and it wont seperate. To remove a crank pully, you need a 21 mm socet, a breaker bar (Or ratchet with a good lenghth pipe for leverage) and a large screwdriver Jam the screw driver into the torque converter bolt inspecting holey things. This will keep the motor from moving. Next, loosten the big ass bolt on the crank pully. Slide the pully off. Installation is opposite of removal. Warning- Make sure you take that screw driver out of the tranny...otherwise youll have a mess when you start the car

I thought there was a tried and true breaker bar alternative on breaking that little sucker free.
(Disclaimer - Never tried it personally.)

I agree, Ive been running my lighter 1 pcs pulley
for over 2 yrs now, no problems and saved $ too. Also the one pcs gives you the peace of mind it wont fall apart like the OE one. Have plenty in stock if you need one, let me know

Peopel over here are really concerned about appearance, and copper is ugly, not to mention expensive and difficult to mangle into the shape you want.
I got the PWR rad because I didn't want another OEM rad that would eventually fail, and has less cooling capacity, and was uglier, and needed a tranny cooler, and so on. Interstingly a couple aftermarket rads for our car popped up on Ebay and the net, but I still think I would have got PWR instead. The design, aside from measuring flaws, has a lot going for it and could potentially pay for itself with sheer longevity.

Aluminum requires special welding tools to do it and when bent it mostly cracks, unlike copper. Furthermore I can always paint the top of a copper rad the color I want , thus enjoying a supercooling feature and an attractive upper look

Try a search with "harmonic balancer"
vs. CRANK PULLEY
There has been some discussion re: this subject. I tend to agree that if there was no perceived need for the function of a harmonic balance the engineers would not have included one... Not to say a solid one won't "work". Just have to believe that it has a function to further insulate the belt systems from shock. Cheers!

If you decide to go with an OEM replacement from Subaru, check with Subaru Parts Girl, a member for this forum. Her quote was fully $50 cheaper (before shipping) than the quote I got from a north metro Atlanta Suby dealership.

what do you mean, "people over here are concerned about appearance"? its a frickin' radiator, not a set of aftermarket wheels.
