Will pulleys void our warranty?

 

No. Can someody help me please? I do not know which one to get? Thanks in advance.

 

ok boys, here are the answers to your questions:

1. Pulley's don't void warranties. Nothing does. Please read ChodTheWacko's FAQ http://www.geocities.com/gamesmgr/chod/acura/ or this one specifically about mods & their affect on warranties http://exchange.ucop.edu/zx2/mods/index.html

2. There is reference to three pulleys. The alternator, power steering, and crank. The AEM kit only comes with the first two. The crank pulley is the most expensive one, and only unorthodox is making it right now. Since I already have the AEM ones, I will only buy the crank one from unorthodox, which is around 200.

3. The reason there are so many option is because of color options, and then they package them together in a bundle, or sell them separately, since people like me only need the crank pulley.

 

Tell me what color you want (black, blue, red, or polished) and which pieces you want (alternator, power steering, crank, or all of them), and I'll get you the link.

 

Thanks...I just order the Unorthodox Pulleys and they should arrive sometime this week.

 

Has anyone had a CL-S with the Unorthodox pulleys (all 3) dynoed yet?

 

Now they are on Pre-oder at their website, there is also Pixs of the Accord version on the www.v6accord.com.

Anyone have those?

 

Actually, the Unorthodox one can void the warranty on the car. The AEM ones won't. What's the difference? Well, the crank pulley. Excellent gains can be had from the crank pulley, but Hondas are built with harmonic balancers on the crankshaft. By replacing the crank pulley with a smaller one? The crankshaft now becomes unbalanced....and can potentially break stuff in your motor. The AEMs? Well, they look nice under the hood...

 

What he said

 

What kind of gains do the Unorthodox produce??

What's the chance of them F'in things up??

 

Since you can buy the individual Unorthodox pulleys, what would be better, getting the AEM pulleys or the Unorthodox pulleys without the crank pulley since it's the only one that may harm the engine?

 

If u have a system in ur car, it's a bad idea to get the AEM because u will underdrive ur altinator. the system eats up more power so basicly ur are only gonna use the one pully, the power steering one. (140 for one pully is a bad idea)

 

I guess everything must have a downside. What is the cons for the replacing the power steering pulley? A harder steering feel? Wouldn't this be good to some that likes to have a tight wheel?

 

I have had a system and pulleys for about 6-8 months and have had no problems other than the usualy dimming lights. Yes the stearing is a little tighter when you go back and forth...not good for autoXing if thats what you do. I have the AEM pulleys and I have a 800Watt system.

 

i have a 750 watt amp (2 ohms) and my interior lights dimm like crazy and that amp is just for my subs. wait till i get amp for my interior speakers. No way is my alternator gonna handle that with an undersized pully.

 

dude you need "Lighting caps" my friend has them for his Accord he has like a 12 or 15 Solo-Baric (Kicker) with a Kicker ZR amp. anyhow before he got his "caps" at night he'd go down the road with his system bumping, his headlights would dim majorly. he put these no problems with the lights dimming.

 

i just thought id throw this in...according to the UR guy the crank pulley is NOT smaller...just lighter...does it still have the potential to damage the engine no idea....do i want 24hp25 lb.ft for 400$ hell yes...im in....

 

Im running a punch 360....that is 360 RMS...and just over 600 peak I think...i have the pulleys...and I thump mine...nothing wrong here....

 

Can you elaborate on this.. I must be missing something...

Where are you getting 24HP, 25 TQ from???

Never mind.. I just saw the other thread....
