Getting my UR pulleys installed at PAA tomorrow morning

OK so I'm excited. Haven't done a performance mod in god knows how long. Well I did install the VAFC, but until it's tuned it don't do diddly.

Anyone else going to Park Ave to get work done tomorrow morning?

How much are they charging you? I called my local dealer and they want 3 hours labor for just the crank pulley. That's about $280!

don't mean to hijack the thread, but, if neones interested, i have two of the three UR pulleys for sale, i had them on for about 5k miles, i think, before i got the SC and that meant i had to take the crank and alternator pulleys off. they pulleys make a very significant difference in the way the car revs, its much smoother, and feels a lot easier.

Thank YOU Jens.

You know I can't say enough about how amazing the service is at Park Ave Acura. It is truly a pleasure bringing my car in there, albeit too infrequent. I wish PAA opened another shop in Central or Southern Jersey.

Jens even took the time to explain a problem I'm having with my intake. Most service advisors or technicians work with blinders on and couldn't care less about anything other than the issue at hand.

Again, thanks Jens. Great work. Wayne, Pete, Tom and all the great staff at PAA have a great holiday season.

Nothing yet. I didn't drive the car hard back to work. I need to disconnect the neg battery cable and let it sit. Then I'll go for a run up the Parkway.

They sure do look purdy though.

We normally charge 2 hours for all 3 pulleys ,PS ALT CRANKSHAFT .We usually end up adding a new belt as well as in many cases the pulleys come with either the wrong ac belt or ps belt .

I never got the lower bushing to hold the bottom section of the intake. Also, the 99 TL's intake came in two pieces and when I went to install the bypass valve, I didn't realize you had to cut the flanges off of the two pieces. The valve never really fit right.
