Will i need to change the timing belt when changing to a performance underdrive pulley?
you wont need to change your timing belt
just incase your wondring if you have to change your alternator belt then no or if so the kit should come with a belt to replace it
i have done swaps and built a couple of motors

if you don't know what the hell your doing don't **** with it.1993 HONDA CIVIC! Will i need to change the timing belt when changing to a performance underdrive pulley?
You cant see the timing belt. Its behind the front cover. If you are referring to the drive belts, I would replace them if they are in need of changing. The timing belt is a bigger job, should be changed every 90k I believe every car differs though.1993 HONDA CIVIC!

I have seldom worked on any hondas, however, the use of underdrive pulleys is old hat in hot rodding. You will undoubtably have to change length of your belt on an accessory drive, but I question your use of an underdrive pulley as being related to a timing belt. Unless both pulleys for crank and cam are changed, it would not be possible for them to stay in time, and changing them both would have no purpose as far as power gain. If I have misunderstood your question, please pardon my interuption. If you are changing an accessory drive that is actually driven from the timing belt(is that actually done on hondas?) then there may be a small change in length, all dependent upon difference of the two diameters and how many degrees of the pulley circle it contacts. Using pi (3.14) times change in diameter divided by the fraction of degrees contacting the pulley should give you the difference in length.1993 HONDA CIVIC!

You shouldnt have to mess with the timing chain, but you will have to take off the accessory belts (A/C, power steering, alternator) when changing out the pulley. I would advise you to change the belts if it is necessary, but if your alternator is in working order then dont mess with it. Dont fix what isnt broken.1993 HONDA CIVIC!

No you shouldnt have to unless it says so when you get the pulley, u should just need a new belt, they should provide it.1993 HONDA CIVIC! Will i need to change the timing belt when changing to a performance underdrive pulley?
your timing belt replacement is an advanced project and you dont need to do it yourself (leave it to the pros). it is easy to change the pullies. just get or rent or find a clicker torq wrench. but it isnt needed. you should get a friend who will help. it will be more fun with an extra set of hands. it shouldnt take you very long and its a good upgrade. good luck and have fun! get any performance parts off the %26quot;bay%26quot; they will be half price...
