Im in an 02 S with a K&N stock filter. What can I expect from a meagan header in terms of hp/seat of pants feel? Do I need an aftermarket intake with it, or does it give enough power by itself? Also, what can I expect from a set of AEM pulleys?

 

headers give alot of power 25-30 or so whp for the type S, and a little less for the TLP. AEM pullies dont give you any power - the only pulley that gives power is the crank pulley - look for unorthodox racing (they are the best brand for that)

 

Choose what you will. Some say they feel alota power from headers and some say they feel more from the pulleys. Do'em both and enjoy. Oh and go with a cai. sounds great.

 

header provides power only at mid to high end. Pulleys provide power throughout the powerband although a lot less.

 

UR crank pulley + Megan headers + CAI = lots 'o extra power.

 

Where is the cheapest place you guys have gotten the UR crank pulley? I see the its not in the group buy spot anymore.

 

somewhere advertised on this board...search or look on the group buy section i believe they're $170shipped.

UR charges like $220shipped...you might save $20 on other online sites

 

UR pulleys and AEM pulleys are totally different. UR's you gain alot from the crank pulleys, but AEM only makes it for power steering and alternator. the thing is, AEM actually makes your RPM's shoot up alot faster. makes your car feel quicker and lighter which is an awesome thing. yeah no power, but definitly helps you get to the Vtec range alot quicker than any other mod. so if you do get the AEM's plus the UR cranks, that will give you an awesome power up high and quickness at low revs.

headers will give you alot of high end power. but i actually love the pull of the pulleys. definitly more bang for the money than the headers. (and if you get the wrong headers that causes problems.. forget about it).

 

i'm positive AEM makes all three pulleys...UR makes p/s and alternator pulleys as well, but like AEM these are to look pretty only (prob some parasidic weight reduction).

why do people say AEM pulley doesnt gain as much considering is the same size as UR? maybe its a bit heavier or breaks easier? But in any instance, headers are by FAR the best bang for the buck...unless you went CT

Any word on engine problems/disbalance from the UR pulley?



btw* i think this thread took the wrong turn...

 

AEM only makes the power stearing and alternator pullies...not a crank pulley

 

dood, dont spend an f load on a UR crank pulley...i got a Megan crank pulley off ebay $50 shipped to my door, its an exact copy of the UR crank pulley with the Megan name on it instead. Had it for about 3 months and the cars still runnin. I kno another member has had some no name crank pulley off ebay on his car even longer and its still doing good...so unless u want the UR name, dont go the extra $150.

 

he's right also. i had both the UR pulleys AND the megan. its actually NOT an exact copy, it may be the same size, but megan pulleys are LIGHTER!! the UR pulleys weigh almost 3 pounds and the megans weight just over 1 pound. stocks weigh a whopping 9 pounds. so youre actually going to get better gains from the megans, BUT im not too sure about the quality. but the paint on it is really nice since ive had it on for a while and its still got a nice shine to it.

and also, AEM's ONLY come in alternator and power steering like ou sig says.

etxxz, the AEM's and UR pulleys for the alt and pow steering are exactly the same, like you said. guess what?? the UR's dont get any gains either, but you do feel a difference from both. the RPMs really do shoot up and the car does feel alot nimbler.

so its much better and saves a butt load more money for you go for the megan crank pulley (50 from ebay) and AEM power steering/alt pulleys (100 almost anywhere), compared to getting just the heavier UR crank for 170-240 dollars.

 

where can you find the megan pulley? I just checked ebay, but did not see it anywhere. Any suggestions?

 

I noticed on the Megan racing website that they dont even carry a tl pulley. I know the v6 accord headers are interchangeable, but I doubt if the pulley is. Is the accord pulley the one you are reffering to?
