When you put on a after market pulley can you tell the difference?

 

you can with the UR

 

i second that i just put mine on last monday makes the engine feel easier to accelerate def worth it

 

hey...so would like those 50 dollar ones on ebay work?...the BOMZ ones....and how hard is it to put on..i know you have to get some belts for it.

 

i would have it professionally done...the stock crank pulley is hard to take off kuz its likely that its caked on there...

 

go with unorthadox!

 

Search and you will find the answers to most of your questions (including the ones you've already asked).

 

i wouldnt, this is 1 key mechanical part you want a good company. one you know is a balances product. those cheap ones may cause more damage than they do good

 

so basically what would be the best one for him to buy??....im interested in this to

 

UR

 

Where can this one be purchased at?

 

Here is one of the many places. Google unorthodox racing and you will find many places that sell them. Not sure if any vendors on this site sell them but you can check there to.

 

Search there were some huge debates between going for UR or those cheaper @ Ebay. I end up get a MEGAN pulley from Ebay for not even $40!!

Have it on for almost a year, runs great no problem at all. You can really feel the whp gain. However, to me UR just the samething but overpriced for it has UR on it.

 

Got mine from Excelerate for 290 shipped for the 3-piece set.

 

So it makes your car run alot smoother/faster meaning a gain in HP? Any addition sound wise and will it kill gas alot faster?

 

X 1000000

 

Damn black acc your car is so nice!

 

Yes, indeed.

Slight underdrive, and less rotating mass mean better efficiency and more power. I honestly cannot think of any serious negative effects of lightweight pulleys (good ones, anyway). I even unexpectedly benefitted from lighter steering feel due to the powersteering pump pulley. Makes it easier and more fun to toss the car around.

 

i got my bomz racing pulley put on last week, you can realy feel the difference the car gained more low end torque and high end horsepower, car revs faster too

 

Any sound addition like deeper/louder tone? Is your gas mileage the same?

 

this part has nothing to do with tone...thats all done with the headers...piping...n muffler...

 

n cat of course...lol

 

FOR REAL! You really felt a good gain from the megan crank pulley. I didn't know they made one a year ago. So you have had it on for a year and had no problems? are you running a system? I putting 500watts RMS now and don't want to lose my subs yet.

 

aww mann....if u get a pulley, you cant have sounds??

 

it has nothing to do with the sound of the engine...for the 100th time

 

I have a 500W Alpine and still hit strong. I'm not a audio pro but I dont seem to have any problem with my system at all.

 

I have not felt a big difference in pulleys.......they maybe make 1hp difference......I had the AEM ones on my prelude before and found out that putting on both of them is not a good idea......because if you leave your car running or idling it eventually will kill the battery and die..........pulleys will make a difference in conjuntion with a fullly built motor..........when you are trying to get the most hp gain every little part will help but it will not make a big difference on any hp gain just being put on by itself without a big enigine mod to go with it.........if you go turbo, supercharge, or nos you will notice a difference in performance and I am sure the pulley will help it run better.....putting on little things like plugs, wires, pulleys etc you will not notice a big difference if at most a slight difference.........put your money where it will benefit the most and that is starting off with a full exhuast system ( headers, muffler, a proven intake).....then you add the other misc stuff.........but for the tl i wouldnt go too crazy with it unless you are planning to track it or drag it........put a full exhuast system on and call it a day....but thats just my opinion........

 

the sound tone of the car did not change

 

you are talking about the AEM pullies that are for the alternator and water pump - they dont do anything for power (only for looks). The one that does give good gains is the crank pulley, and that is the one we are talking about

 

Know this Its what you cant feel that would cause problems. If the cheaper brands arent balanced they can and will cause damage to the internals of your engine (ie bearings) which intern will destroy the engine. not saying all will, but its some thing to think about when buying something that can be given away so cheap.

Yes, and they will not make more sound. ITS A PULLY!



The aem ones are known to be looks only, the UR WILL make power.

 

form personal research and experience, can't go wrong w/ this price and this vendor. and, yes, it's hp gains you can feel--it's more of acceleration. i only have the crank pulley (ur, of course) and very pleased w/ the mod. just pick up a stock crank pulley and a ur, and you'll know what we're talking about, happy motoring!

 

The UR crank pulley is $175 shipped and the pulley set is $290 shipped.

UR Groupbuy

 

Steadydaddy: I might need your help on place to install the pulley soon

 

i wasnt talking about sounds of my engine...talking bout a sound system. because the pulley wouldnt let the altenator perform at its max

 

ehhh....i got one of these cheap ass pulleys

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

the only thing im affraid of is that it wont fit my car even though it says it does....bcause my cai didnt fit when they said it did.

yo....my cuzzin said its hard to install this thing cuz you have to unbolt the accessories....is it true

 

oh I see - well if you get an underdrive one, they arent recommended with systems of over 600 watts RMS. So if you have more than that, you wont be able to power it or the rest of your electrical system very well.

 

dont have to unbolt the accessories, just need to take the belt off. also the pully can be a bear to get off. may need a pully puller or a torch to heat it

 

well yeah that's pretty serious. Is there any way i can somehow "feel" it's destroying my engine? like from idle or high rpm or sth? I would love to swap to UR but i'm kinda out of job right now.

 

thats what i said, you wont be able to feel it (unless its really off balance and your ungine runs rougher) about the only way to know for sure would be to take it off and bring it to a shop that can check for balance
