I can only find the Agency Power lightweight crank pulley. Does anyone make a full pulley set? i.e. crank, water pump, idler pulley?

I have been very happy with my NST pulley set. I got a 20% underdrive crank pulley, 20% overdrive alternator pulley, and a lightweight water pump pulley. These units are extremely light compared to the stock parts. When you hold the two crank pulleys in your hands, you will be amazed at the differences.
I did the install a few weeks ago and have loved the quicker revving nature of my engine. Here is the link to the install thread with my thoughts on the pulleys: http://www.scikotics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27630

NICE! Yea, I was actually trying to find that post again today. Thanks for the link. I wonder if they would consider any other parts for the Gen 1 xB? Water pump and idler pulley? If you know someone, maybe you can inquire for me?

Crap, I didn't even see that you were asking about it for a xB. My bad. I'll ask Mike tonight if he has any plans for making pulleys for a first gen xB.

Should allow for a quicker response and better fuel economy as the engine doesn't have to work as hard to turn the accessory belts.

The crank pulley is essentially the same as a lightweight flywheel, only without the drivability issues. It reduces rotating mass and allows the engine to rev quicker while freeing up horsepower that was used to spin the heavy pulleys. This is a performance mod that will help with your times in the quarter mile and will help you accelerate out of turns on the autocross or road tracks. You don't really notice the pulleys in normal day to day driving or on the freeway. You mainly notice them when accelerating hard.
