I know we have beat this topic up several times however I have two questionsfor the group

1. Is this a part you are intrested in but hesitate becase there is no Posted Dyno on any of the TSX forms.

2. What sort of gain would you want to see to make this a worth while
purchase, I am thinking that a 10WHP gain would be sufficent.

 

1. Yeah, I would do it if I had seen a few others put them on first
2. 10 whp would be significant IMO

 

I have given them a lot of thought. I have had too many other projects right now to work on the pulleys.

 

Even though I still haven't seen any Dynos on TSX yet, but I think it will definity help the TSX acceleration somehow. I've have do extensive research on pulleys, on TSX as well as other cars. A lot of other cars does show a HP gain of 5-10+. A lot of people on this forum does mentioned about how useless the SS pulley will be on TSX, how's the Crack pulley will fxxk up (underdrive) the car, or tell me it's no gain @ all. However, I'm planning to put this as my stage 2 project, when I have extra $$$ to spend around. For now, I will see someone dyno first.

 

I had one on one of my old cars for about 4 years. It definately added a few horsepower. The rear main seal on the engine went, however I think it had more to do with the 250,000 kms on it than the pulley.

 

We clarified earlier about the fact that the TSX, like most Honda engines, does not have a "harmonic balancer". So there is no need to worry about it affecting your car for the worse. The pulleys will not necessarily make HP as much as they will free up HP since they are lighter and slightly underdrive the accessories, therefore creating less parasitic drag on the engine. The first two people who want to do this mod I will sell the pulley kit for $225 shipped, as long as you're in the continental 48 United States. Thereafter it will go back up to the $275 shipped. I have 2 in stock so they will ship out ASAP. PM me if you are interested.

 

1. Yes, I would do this mod, not right now though. Not because no one else has done it, but rather I have other mods in priority.

2. 10whp sounds good enough.

 

Also, the engine should feel quicker and more responsive - livelier. Sort of like when you add a lightened flywheel. There may be some concern about battery drain, and operation of other accessories though.

I would do this, but I am considering the CTSC as well, so I'm laying off touching my pulley ratios as of yet.

 

sorry... CTSC stands for...?

 

Comptech Supercharger?

 

So any takes to be the first? I just closed on a house last night so I am a little tapped out right now.

 

Yeah. My first ever closing was 2hrs long. My real-estate attorney found a loop hole he wanted covered.

 

pulleys > paint

 

I am miffed that the other thread got locked without standard lock procedure,........ex,......a final post by locking mod or at least a 5 min warning. Whats the deal??????????


10 hp would be a good gain.

 

I want pulleys but dont think it would work well with a large audio video system and I also wont be the first to try them. I only am the first to try mods that could be life threatening .

 

What do the pulleys do? We are talking about engine mods here right,............

 

Don't they need a smaller belt or does the tensioner take the slack?

 

paint > better than sleeping outside over mysterious delivery again

 

Less parasitic energy loss, so get more HP that the OEM pullies took.

 

mysterious delivery?

Ok, that is what I thought you guys were talking about.

 

My understanding is a

 

what the mysterious delivery.

 

Id try it but im scared hahaha i think my amp is already maxing out my stock alternator...is there a replacement altenator that pushes more juice? If so I would do that first then consider the pulleys.

 

thats why I wont do it, plus I plan on adding another amp to the system soon.

 

Hahaha Colt me and you are seeing eye to eye lol

 

You must have a JDM eye

 

I went ahead and bought a set from Excelerate and will post a before/after dyno after I get this installed, I will be on the road for the next month so probalby some time in May I will get this in.

 

Also verify before and after voltage readings at the battery during different rpm points (idle, 2000, 3000).

 

that is a must

 

I can do that, most of what I have read indicates that it is realy only less voltage durring idle and after 1200rpm its not an issue, but I will be insure to do a voltage test. I just got a yellow top so I dont think I will be hurting to bad with my car audio setup.

 

Let us know what's happen~!!!

 

I forgot to mention conducting the voltage test with all accessories on and off at the same rpm points (ac, defroster, full fan, headlights, radio, wiper, brake lights. etc). Everything one would use during a rainy night. It wouldn't hurt to operate the power windows too. If you are going to do a test, make it a complete test.

 

that would be great if you did all this Zasker

 

yea too bad we cant give rep points anymore hahaha id give u some lol

 

well since my windows are tinted they weight more thus the window test will yield different voltages than stock windows :_)

 

That's awesome that you're trying this out Zasker1

 

Parts will be here on Friday and I have a shop lined up for Monday so hopefuly I will have a dyno by Tuesday

 

Can I get a


Please take a couple pics of the pulleys if you can. Thanks!
