Hey everyone... im really looking to do some upgrades now... how much can be gained from the UR pulleys? like the crank or even the drive pulleys??? thanks for the input

 

Try a quick search.

But if memory hold correct it is around 7-10 whp and tq.

 

I'm likin' the numbers on the UR's but heard too many horror stories on a thread here...

 

See this link:

Dyno - Acura CL-S

And if you need a UR pulley see the link in my sig to a thread for a UR Groupbuy.

I don't think there's been ONE "horror story" on here.. Everything negative about them has been speculation....!!

Sorry sick of people saying they heard horror stories.. lol..

 

its like that on every board... someone says pulley and the next guy says some bs about harmonics and the whole post goes to shit.

its a god mod for a lot of cars

 

do they make ur car vibreate any? ive heard mixed reviews

 

I do not know where this stuff comes from. I have had UR pulleys on my Accord i4 for years and there has been no problem at all except for a squeaky belt once in a while. And that problem is solved by spraying some WD40 or lubricant on there.

The real problem herein lies with the fact that people who think they know what they're talking about talk about harmonic dampening and other issues and confuse noobies and then the noobies believe everything they hear b/c they have do not have the info at hand to correct them. Please do not spread alleged accusations against UR pulleys unless you have evidence b/c you confuse/mislead others who we will say are not automotive savvy. Thanks.

Never got a dyno done however after the install there was a noticeable difference. The car seemed to reach redline quicker in each gear and some extra power could be felt throughout. It’s kinda hard to believe that the small amount of extra power that the Crank Pulley gives can be felt, but I can honestly say it was noticeable.

Also the UR Crank pulley is the only one out of the three that will yield any type of gains. The Power Steering and Alternator pulley are basically cosmetic.

 

Not a post about aftermarket pulleys, but while we're on the topic - anyone ever had problems with loud squealing/chirping from an 01 CLS ? Suddenly, about two weeks ago, my car starting making squealing/chirping noises. Worst with cold starts, seems to get quiter when warm but can occasionally flair up. I initially thought it was a bad belt, but I stuck my head under the hood and it sounds more like a bad bearing - a pulley bearing maybe ?

 

thanks "chap" that was a great review... and as for ''excelerate' i was not trying to say anything about UR pulleys just pulleys in general....thanks for the input

 

Got UR charger crank pulley and I can't feel SH@t

 

really smg?...... see mixed reviews again

 

No, I am not referring to you as the one who spreads rumors. I was referring to you as the one who is mislead by other ppl who make up stories. In my experience the UR pulleys helped me rev out quicker; however this is on my Accord i4 turbo.
