Well, as you can see the gains are really good even without a PS pulley. Mike from NST says they will have PS pulleys for us in the future if there is a good show of demand from the TSX community. He says NST first started in the Scion tC market with only one pulley, now a year later they have over SIX differnet pulleys for the tC!
I will keep everyone posted on my progress and I cant wait to see some more people with NST pulleys to give us more reviews.

Come to think of it. Once NST has the PS pulley out, it'll probably be the same or very close result compared to the UR set.
Similar to the DC header vs the comptech header where gains are very similar but go down to by choice of what color your want.

And for those of you concerned with the power steering pulley. To be quite honest with you, that pulley is probably more for bling than for performance. 90% of your gains with pulley kits like this come from the underdrive crank pulley. If I were you I would pick up the two pulleys they offer and save some cash. You can always jump on a power steering pulley when they release it in the future.

good numbers raheel...better than I expected.
Sorry I havent been around guys, I had to pass the project down due to crazy personal stuff going on but Im passed all that now. Like I said when I first came through here repping NST, they make some quality pulleys and I gotta correct Raheel cause NST definitely DID NOT start with Scion, they just happened to offer an immense selection of pulleys for the tC and I believe even the xA/xB. Mikes a good guy and Im sure after seeing these dyno sheets a lot of your minds are turning now. Proof is in the pudding, NST for the win....enjoy fellas

Ok guys, I wanted to put an update about the pulleys after about 1500 miles.
One thing I will tell you is this is the first time I have had NST pulleys on any of my cars, and I think they are pretty much amazing. I have killed cars i didnt think i would be able to kill due to the little gain and my car feels more aggressive, I must say I recommend these pulleys for whoever is planning for them.
I have had no problems with them as of yet, except feeling the need to always go WOT all the time. I have also noticed on the Civic Si(new ones) forums that they have been using NST on thier cars lately which have similar motors to ours, for instance here is one thread http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/showt...ghlight=pulley
So as you can see NST is becoming pretty popular with hondas also.
NST FTW!!!
