One custom CL
read what you wrote and ask yourself
what are the pulleys and what do they do
if you are looking to get a performance increase thru lightening the weight of the pulleys then why not got do them all

the crank adds like 20 hp, and the other two add like 7-10 hp combined, so it's your call on whether it's worth it or not.
Of course that's for my 3.0 v6, so it might be different for the 2.x I4's.
go to the unorthodox racing website and look at the install manual for the crank ad it will tell you the approximate hp gains from the other two.

well here are the ewight differences:
stock UR pully
alternater pulley:
11.5 oz 4 oz
PS pulley

crank pulley
5lb11.6oz 1lb 5oz
looks like teh crank pully will net you 95% of the gains.

Generally, most of the gains are in the crank pulley. The lightweight crank pulley doesn't necessarily make power. It frees up HP b/c there is not as much parasitic drag on the system b/c you now slightly underdrive the accessories and the crank pulley is lighter so it require as much effort on the part of the engine to spin it. The other accessory pulleys are more looks than gains. Let me know if you need either of them or visit here: https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/unorthodox-racing-special-pricing-event-acura-cl-tl-rl-mdx-tsx-301566/

there is an OBX one made for the accord v6 that will fit our car. I have been looking at it and i am some what skeptical but it is substantially cheaper......its on ebay for like $50 or its on the OBX website for $99 vs. unorthodox $170. I dunno if its worth it though.

Yes, they don't make the crank gear. But I've heard other companies make them... Never researched it. As for gains, you can feel it a little. I wouldn't claim greater than 15-20HP gain with these parts.

You can see the others, it is a shame that the cam gear is hidden from view. I thought it looked sweet before it was put on. But the pulleys look awesome. Mine are red, but now that I think of it, I wish they had blue in stock when I bought them.

Ive been wanting to get a camgear for a while.. but I'll probably get that when I replace the cam later on down the road..
Getting close to doing it anyways. Within the next week, I'll be one step further from n00bness and one step closer in the right direction
