So i had just the intake on my car and my bro's got a prelude h22a with headers, intake.

Now i know the cl is faster stock vs stock but here's the news.

We ripped 3rd gear vs 3rd gear (Prelude: intake/headers) (CL: intake) and I was just creeping on him.

THEN I installed the skunk 2 intake manifold on his car, and got the option pulley on my CL and did it again..


OOOWWWW WEEEE.... and i pulled this time much! more (from 100-160km/h in 3rd) (60-100mph)

FOR THE RECORD: I'm only talking about 3rd cause that's the closest point for the 2 cars... 1st and 2nd i own him. so we wanted to get some sort of a similarity for comparison.

HATS FUCKIN OFFFF to the underdrive pulley. I'm thinkin 10hp gain at max rpms for sure. Definately freed up a lot of shit at high rpms.

I didn't think I'd see a noticable gain but god damn.

So after adding the intake manifold to the prelude, and adding JUST the pulley to the CL, the CL was pulling even more on the prelude. THUS: i gained MUCH more off the pulley vs bro's intake manifold (oh anddd new fuel injectors cause his were cracked)

Just to let everyone know who may have their doubts. I would like to rectify them.

This mod is the SHIZZLE for RIZZLLE

hahaha hadd to say that

 

Nice....

After installing mine I really did not notice any difference in power..
My AC does seem to blow colder and it seems easier to steer but it might just be in my head..

 

get nitrous. i was whomping on evos, v8 mustang, and a camero. its a totaly different car with it. the pulley is the best bang for the buck






































































for N/A, that is

 

I thought it would be headers.

 

where did u get the option pulley from? and brand? thanks

 

Ebay is the ONLY place u can get it.
The seller is optionracing it like $25 shipped!

 

BTW you will also need new PS and alternator belt cuz ita undrive pulley which means its smaller then the stock pulley!

 

I had the UR pulley on my CL. It definitely freed up a lot of lost HP. The RPMs shot up a LOT faster from a dig.

 

is there a DIY for installing it?

 

yes there is a DIY in the tl section i think which is identical.

You will need new belts... the ones everyone is using in the US are not the same as the ones found in canada. IE they are not available.

If you cannot find them then use the ones I have in this thread. They're on my car now and work like a charm.

^^^^This will solve a lot of the belt questions for you.

 

Definitely one of my next mods.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

 

thanks for the info..but im getting a bit confused... so what belt numbers exactly would i need to look for at a local store in the US? that thread had a whole bunch of different model numbers...

and lastly, did it REALLY make a difference? in gains?

thanks

 

i might be able to help you with that.

:ghey:

 

lol its not what you think im taking off my option racing underdrive pulley to put on a UR stock size pulley because of my blower. my friend has asked for it but i dont think he going to take it, if not you can have it. i wont have any use for it anymore. just pay the shipping.

k I don't know HOW to express myself any more than I just did. YES it makes BIG difference. It's at least the equivalent of an intake

I noticed more with the pulley than the intake, I swear.

10hp minimum I'd say.

When I got the car stock it would lul up past 6300rpms like it was asking for the next gear.

Now i can hit the rev limiter when i'm ripping it because it keeps pulling.

remember this mod shaves somewhere near 8-9 lbs off the rotational mass of the car PLUS it spins your accessories ratio-wise much less.

SO the faster you go (the higher u rev) the more it is helping you.

as soon as i got it i put the car in neutral a gave her a quick pedal... and the revs fly up and down in comparison to before. Kinda like what a flywheel would do. Accept with a flywheel you lose TOP end because it has less INERTIA to fight wind forces and such.

I KNOW this because i had a ford probe previously and then did that mod. And then I couldn't break 205km/h when previously the car would go 220.

A pulley won't do this however since it isn't as much of a loss of weight as the flywheel. The option pulley is BASICALLY lightening your crankshaft and taking off extra strain from spinning everything faster than needed.

to answer your question... it is worth it

 

to answer the belt question:

Gates K060441 = Metric 6PK1120 = Goodyear 4060441

Gates K040425 = Metric 4PK1079 = Goodyear 4040425

Those are the brands and the codes.

1st row is the alternator belt THICK one

2nd row is the pwr steering belt THIN one

 

Nice, but he really needs a tune with that manifold.

 

just got the pulley and belts...waiting for them to arrive

 

Just ordered mine also......hope its as good as you say. It is really cheap in price...

 

i would like a supercharger but I just like na lil more and it's better on gas too.

 

hmmm may get one of these for my TL... since u guys are having good reviews about them.. I'll check it out and see if anyone has them on there TL

 

^

 

ha It looks like no one is running it on the TL side so I could be the first maybe

 

Do ett...!

 

no one is running that pulley, their mostly running the ur pulley

 

I got it on my 99tl and been about for more than 4k miles. Love it the way it does as CL guys said.I will start a thread about the option pulley in TL section just waiting to be sure problem free.

 

I'm curious why none of the new members hasn't talked about the Mugen Mods.

 

please don't mention it... i'm working on super mugen mods

 

lol. They help out with the cooling system and keep heat down reducing heat soak.

super mugen mods eh...hmmmmm

 

Good to hear it was worth it.


I will be picking up a UR pulley (don't trust a $25 ebay one) next month. Since I sold my Megans and fogs I have some extra $$$

 

trust me the option pulley is perfectly fine. its doing the same thing as UR but cheaper. plenty of people have bought it and they have had no problems. the only reason im taking off my option pulley is because f the blower if it werent for that i would just keep my option pulley.

 

<--------option Pulley...works fine.....looked like a quality product..all the tech were amazed it was only $25 shipped...U dont need to spend 8X more on unorthodox!

 

exactly hes about to spend alot of extra money for no reason.

 

lol all that money for piece of mind.. Really??? it's the same thing. It's not like a piece of aluminum can fail.. LOL


Trust us... option is the way to go..

you'd be a fool to do anything else..

Think to yourself... 2.5 tanks of free gas!

 

looked like a quality product to who? YOU?

looks can be deceiving...........
Its peace of mind for me

If it was an ebay intake, that just sits there, then i would use your logic-----> "It's not like a piece of aluminum can fail". But this is a piece that spins thousands of times per minute.


Engine mods are something that you dont want to be cheap on............ive learned that the hard way

in the end.........my

 

same here. spent $190 for my ur pulley a year ago. its more for piece of mind and a well know company

 

you'd be surprised how aluminum fails. i see it at work every day and its bigger and stronger than the pulley, but still fails and it amazes me how
