UR Pulley
I did some searching and read good things about the UR Pulley and I was all set to order one until my friend started scaring me with things like "it'll mess up my oil pump" "its not worth the hp gains".
Can some of you guys that have done it chime in with the good, the bad and the ugly?
Also, it's my understanding that I should expect 10whp... is that accurate?
Thanks in advance guys!

Uses turn signals in my
There are hundreds of people running them on the TL and Cl forum with no problems at all. Many 2nd gen TL's with well over 100k miles running them with absolutely no problems. Just look at member's signatures (including mine). If a person is beating the hell out of a car of course stuff like the oil pump is going to go faster, but they'd perfer to blame the pulley (I'm looking at civic and teggy drivers!). I'm sure as you've read, our engine are internally balanced so there no reason for concern. I did a ton of research before I purchased mine and I came to this consensus:
As long as the pulley (bought from a reputable company) is not damaged before install and the install is done currectly you will be fine.
Not sure what the gains are (10 whp sound about right), but you will notice them . I've personally been driving with my UR pulley for 7k miles and I love it.
The stock pulley on my bathroom scale weighed in at 8.48 pounds bare and the UR weighed 1 pound in box with packing foam!

Is it worth it if your planning on having a stereo system
over 600 watts rms?

Over 7 months later and it still the best money I've spent on my CL so far! (headers were on the car when I bought it, so they don't count in that consideration^)

installed mines yesterday wit the header, and installed the ice box thursday night. went to the track yesterday but messed up my clutch. Dont really know if it made too much of a difference since i installed so much at one time. I should have waited till I put the intake and header on after 2 weeks or so to install the pulley. As far as qucik revs, it doesnt seem to rev any faster than it did when I put the intake on thursday night. Just my 2 cents, i got a cheap deal on the pulley used and got it installed for almost nothing wit the header so I dont really car unless its slowing the car down.

says "hello to my TLX".
definitely a great mod. i just have the UR SS crank pulley and felt the gains immediately. i've had it on since the beginning of the year and no problems to this date. do it!!

The UR pulley is by far the most noticeable improvement in terms of feel/feedback once its installed.
If you think about it -- the majority who have installed/used one swear by them, and they all readily say get 'em without hesitation.
Those who doubt it, you can continue sitting on the fence and wonder all you want about it.
Remember most negative posts on the net are from the very small few who either installed poor knock-offs, or those who had them installed incorrectly (or their cars were crap condition) prior to installing the pulley.
Get UR or go home.

Is anyone using the lighter OEM size pulley and a Supercharger? I would like to know if there is a noticeable difference before I drop the $$ on this additional modification.

dont think its a good idea for you to get one of those. The guy that sold me mines took it off because he was installing a supercharger

If he had an Underdrive pulley with a Supercharger then he shouldn't have it installed since it would reduce the amount of boost, but a lighter OEM replacement that is the same diameter should help the car rev up faster. (In theory).
Which is my thought, but I could be wrong. But if the Underdrive and the lighter OEM replacement are bad ideas then I can save myself $200.
I am looking to go with a High Boost Pulley soon, with upgraded injectors and such so I am looking to get as much power and torque as possible, which is why I am inquiring about the lightened OEM diameter pulley.

Lives in Boost
Moodist I got mine installed separately from all other mods and I could definitely feel an easier rev. It's 8lbs lighter than stock so it's kinda hard for it not to rev more freely.

Maybe he got another brand besides Unorthodox Racing...? As for the internally balanced engines, aren't all engines internally balanced?
Anyway, I will probably end up doing it, but again my buddy knows a lot about cars and he kind of scared me with his caution. At the same time tho, he has never had a CL/TL, most of his experience is with Honda/Acura 4s and Mitsus.

Thanks Weez, so we don't have harmonic balancers?
I really love this site for this reason! I really appreciate all the good info I get on here... the forums for my truck aren't anywhere near as helpful

Show me a dyno of the pullies and the gains before making statements like that, I've dynoed everything and can tell you the pullies will yield 2 to 3 hp max on the dyno.
The car will becme a tad more responsive but don't expect huge gains.
BTW: I have 80,000 mles on mine without issue.
