I just ordered the package of all 3 pullies through my local acura dealer, Valencia Acura, for 300 bucks. I got the color blue.

He said I can get mine in 3 to 5 days!! (its what his connection there said)

Guess Ill have them first before all of you guys.

Ill get my friends digital camera and get pics of it installed in my car and installation and stuff. Expect them in 1 to 2 weeks.

Congrats Just becareful as the crank pully might damage an engine that causes 8k and i can tell gaurantee that Acura will not cover any repairs.

 

It damages nothing!

Stop the negative speculations....

I talked to a guy who had pullies kit on 2 maximaz and no single problem!

 

One you get them installed, give us a full blown report.

 

what did zapata say?

 

nvpscore, will it effect your warranty? what did they say. how much for install?

this is cool shit mang.

 

hey nvpscore,

I agree with zapata i had a prelude with the crank pully i am assuming your changing the crank? if not no need to worry. i will say the crank pully is not balanced and will break your oil pump in time becareful this did happen to me!!!!

 

good luck. i was thinking about getting them. just too many dam things to buy.

 

nvpscore,

Did you ask your dealer about the pulleys voiding the warranty and about the crank pulley effects. There's too many conflicting stories going around.

 

Yeah and i knew a guy who smoked for 79 years and didn't die of lung cancer. What's your point?? Crank pullies are for race applications only. If you want to risk an 8k part go ahead. Acura will not be forgiving with this mod.

 

I talked it over with my buddy Brian Fleming, hes the sales manager at Valencia Acura. In fact, I will be starting to work there this summer at Valencia Acura. Thus, I should get discounted prices more off of these. Angel, the parts man, (the same guy working with Wilwood for brakes) said its fine, just that they will try it out with me since finally Unorthodox came out with pullies for our CL. It will not void my warranty, just warrant more power for my CL. I cant wait for the dyno from Unorthodox, but I'm gonna see if I can get mine run on the dyno machine at Acura.

Any other ?'s.... Post it.

Nick

 

your acura dealer has a dyno?

 

YA, they have one from time to time, I think they share it with another Dealer. My Valencia Dealer is like the Park Avenue Acura of the East Coast.

Valencia Acura has the number one satisfaction for like FOREVER.

Nick

 

Nothing can compare to Park Ave though.

 

I aint driving 3000 miles to get parts and install them at Park Avenue Acura. How much does it cost per hr at that place??

Nick

 

Maybe " Full BLOWN Report " wasn't the best choice of words

 

You know what I mean. How is the pick up and all those goodies.

 

nvpscore:
I wonder about these...because you're just trading off power steering and alternator output for HP...which ok...but I mean why would you want to do that? Alternator I can see...if you never plan on having a system in your car. But PS? I'm just going to go with lighter pulleys...not smaller...I'd like to know how bad it is though after you put em on.

I thought the UR pulleys didn't underdrive the power steering or alternator. I thought these 2 pulleys were the same size, but just lighter.

 

Rod:
If they are then there'd be nothing to worry about...but I doubt you'd get as big of gains as you usually hear pullies giving...if they're not underpowering stuff let me know, because just lighter are the type I have been looking for.

Austin,

I knew I had seen it somewhere, but now we just need for this info to be confirmed.

This was originally posted by typeR in this thread: Unorthodox Racing Ultra SS Group Buy

 

Read their FAQ on their site people:

http://www.unorthodoxracing.com/faq_pulleys.html

The SS comes with smaller accessory pullies, therefore maintaining about the same 'spinnage' on the PS and Alternator.

Simple physics with the (larger diameter than stock) AEM accessory pullies will tell you that you will be turning your PS and alternator even slower if you just get the UR crank pulley.

 

I had ordered my URs does anyone know if we have to change the belts, if so where to get them from ?


Thanks

 

Belts Info Here:

http://www.v6accord.com/forums/showt...&threadid=9126

 

I read that you found the two parts numbers listed on the AV6.com. So we need two belts K040425 and K060441 ?
and those will fit the CL Type S ?

thanks

 

I emailed UR for comfirmation... Waiting their reply....

 

Shawn,

Are those the correct gates part numbers for the 01' Acura CL-S Ultra SS kit?


P/S Belt:

Brand: Gates
Part #: K040425

Alternator Belt:

Brand: Gates
Part #: K060441

I called a local dealer; he does not have them in stock.

But he added he could order and get them the same day. So, if I call Monday before 11:00 AM, I can get them the same day.

Price Quotes:
K040425: $14.34
K060441: $11.29

I called another local parts store, both parts are in stock.
Price Quotes:
K040425: $14.62
K060441: $11.51

Thanks.

 

I got the belts for $26.13

 

thanks for the research, nashau.

do you have the appointment yet?

 

Just to let you guys know, i will be getting a dyno before the installation, and a dyno right after the installation, so by the end of next week i should have a before and after...............kinda sux though, watch it do shit for my car, and i could of saved money and found out from somebody else.........oh well.

 

No tracking Info means no appointement yet. There is opening Tuesday at 8:00 AM, if the pullyes have been shipped yesterday, then they should be here monday. I will call and book it as soon as I know when the pullies are here...

Can't wait... Things to do after the install, Mobil 1 oil Change, STP black FI bottle and Nitto tires rotation.

 

You now 'da man...


Could you report on before and after vibration sensations from the engine?????

Others?

 

No prob.

I wanted to do the install and dyno this tuesday or thursday, usually my days off, but i have Fri. and Sat. off and i have to go to Miami.........so i might skip class on thursday and do the dyno.

I hope the vibration isn't really that much, i didnt realize this was going to be a factor.

 

I got the tracking number. They should be here tommorrow morning

 

how did you get that, did you call them, they emailed you ??

I dont have shit yet.

 

I emailed couple times and no reply, I called like 4-5 times till someone was on the phone and I had no problem getting the number.

Give them a call.

 

i picked up the pulleys right from UR, and i have an appointment on Wed. at PAA to get them installed.. i guess we'll see how that goes... it'd be good if someone had a dyno... otherwise i have to spend another $90 getting it done

 

How much for the install at PAA?

 

If you have an acurate scale, could you please weigh the pulleys?.. Thanks.

 

I'm bring my car into UR tomorrow to install the Ultra SS. I will be getting a before and after dyno. I'll post tomorrow. They are using my car as a tester.
