Great mod! The car is much quicker on its feet and does not feel so heavy when giving it gas. Whether its flooring it or just babying the car, it moves without as much effort as before.

hondaxacura

Do they make a specific one for RL or a compatible part?

Sniffles

You should get this one:

Don't get underdrive...

as I thought, a UR pulley.

neuronbob

A cheap, effective mod. Good taste!

Yup, got it put in Friday

How much to install it L's

PortcityRL

Is that a bad thing? Only reason I ask is because I'm about to order 1 of these but wasn't sure which to get.

$60
Nothing worng with the UR pulley or the Ralco for that matter as long as you get the stock sized. The RL doesn't respond well to the under drive one from what I've read from past RL owners' experiences.

037

nothing is wrong, had it on my RL for about 40,000. Unfortunately I put mine on along with a Short Ram Intake and lost all the power gains and then some.

Unfortunately that damn SRI sounded so damn awesome I kept it and never felt the power from UR pulley alone

So which brand is the one to get?

EL19

iTrader: (4)

Tryna save money go Ralco, if you feel better paying for a more expensive product go UR. I've had both on my TLS and noticed no difference between the two. So I opted for the cheaper option on my RL and almost two months later, I'm still enjoying it.

Tony Torque

Okay thanks good too know.

MrKev

care to share some pics?

Please!

If this works i might try it too. maybe this then save up for custom exhaust and then eventually s/c

Vletnguyen! Do it! I'd love to see this coupled with pcd and j pipe! You have to be pushing some serious awhp then!

Have you try eBay ?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Actually, just found another thread where ack05TL is trying to get a group buy together for this. He has the Underdriven pulley's for 140 shipped and 155 for the stock sized one. I've got a system so I'm going normal size.

Anyone want the link!?! I think if he gets 5 people he gets us a much better price.

i Just placed a bid on ebay for the stock sized one. we'll see if he bits.. haha..

iTrader: (6)

i'm going to outbid you...

iTrader: (1)

got it for 135 shipped.. i knew i should have low balled them more.. GRRRR

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

there were 2 available and there are none left. There's another seller, but they declined 135 PLUS 13 for shipping. For that, I'll buy from Ack and get a vendor some bidness!

vletnguyen

iTrader: (1)

yea that sounds like a plan..
if a vendor could have matched it i would have went with a vendor, but this was too cheap to pass up

23109VC

what do you think is the better bang for the buck? the pulley or the jpipe?

Carbon Legend

snagged by brand new UR pulley for $120 from honda-tech. thanks google

23109VC

these don't look that expensive... under $150...and install is not much.... you can feel the gain???

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Carbon, any chance you could post the link?! I'll try googling it. I have heard it makes the car feel more effortless when accelerating. I think the Jpipe is probably MORE butt dyno...but why stop there?!? Get both!

Carbon Legend

it was a personal market item. just a clue browse around the accord forums since they are still the same motors. Acura seems to immediately put a higher price tag on certain things.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

You mean like hope to find a good deal on one in the black market, or other forum's equivalent? Thanks. You got lucky then.

jpipe but like rockstar said, get both. I did thos emods back to back and it feels like a new/different car

SSjTrunks112O

I see that the UR pulley comes with the required belt (Is that the underdrive pulley).. Does the Ralco pulley or UR stock size pulley need a new belt as well or can I still use my oem belt?? My guess is the latter..

Matt W

I'm pretty sure we can use the existing belt but I am probably going to replace it with a new one anyway when I go to do mine.

Matt W

Got the Ralco for $127, no tax and free shipping!

253RL

^^nice! Can't wait to cruise today! Like L said the car feels so light under accel! It's a great mod you'll enjoy!

SAHAU

I had the UR underdrive pulley and now i run the stock oem pulley. Reason was, it was more responsive with it but i lost a tonne of torque which i prefered. Maybe the lightweight oem size pulley is a better option. i need to try it out.
