But I didn't notice a real difference.....But I will post the dyno results this week, I'll see if they work or not, by the way I used the Accord kit and kept the stock power steering belt and used the supplied serpentine belt.....
I also put on my Blitz H/P radiator cap
( good for 20 ponies )

did you install it yourself? i was thinking about it and i want to know how hard it is to install it...

MikeS

NSX4DR works for Atlantic Performance in Jax., Fl. He was the one that dynoed his TL after Comptech exhaust and it improved it by 13 H.P. if I remember correctly....So the answer is yes, he did the install....

2000 TL - Laguna Green, Navi, Rear Spoiler. PIAA Hyperwhite HB's. 17" CL-S wheels with Bridgestone RE 730 - 225/45/17's. Soon to have Comptech Suspension, Sways & Axle back Exhaust.

NSX4dr

Man you wouldn't believe....It took over 25 minutes to change out the cap....

It took about 35 minutes to change out the pulleys...the hard part was raising the power steering pump back up with the stock belt. I used the stock belt so I wouldn't have to remove the motor mount to change to a new belt......

Did you guys have dyno result on pulley ???

tdoh

Am I just reading it wrong, or how the heck does a radiator cap give you 20 more HP?

Tony

NSX4dr

Yes but I have my 19's on and I lost power, I'm going to put my 16's back on and do some more dynoing........I love having one of these things

SoundSpeed

He's just joking. It actually only adds about 10-15hp.

BDI

Is that at the crank or wheels??

bdimc2001

I think it's 20 at the crank and 15 at the wheels

BDI

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RUF87

If you put the stickers on both rear passenger windows you'll get another whole 5HP.

evolaerok

13hp? Are you serious?? Or another joke??

Austin519

Ya know...you guys have to stop posting stuff like a Blitz H/P radiator cap adding 15 HP...people like me who don't know jack about cars would totally believe it...

Austin519

I would have to say that the pullies are complete and utter crap. I don't even know why I got them... wait I think it was cuz someone did a VERY misleading and incorrect dyno which showed a 14hp gain in the whole power band. I didn't feel any power gain at all. All it did was make my interior lights dim at night when idling. If i were to rate this mod on a 1 to 10 scale, it gets a negative 5.

1999TL

LOL, on a 1-10 it gets a negative 5. That's why i never did the mod. Everybody else on different forums say it never works.

Turboara

Does the pulley kit replace the harmonic balancer as well, or only the accesory pulleys??

The reason I'm asking is that I've read (in my DSM club, as well as a BMW club) that removing the harmonic balncer with rubber insert & replacing it with an all alloy pulley doesn't allow the vibrations of the crank to be absorbed, and can lead to shortened engine life.
