I can't seem to find a UR crank pulley for my 99 TL. Should I look under 99 Accord V6 or will a 00-02 TL UR crank pulley fit my 99? Help I want this mod badly!

The UR Crank pulley for 2000+ TL will fit our 99 TL. It works fine for me.

PDX3.2TL

2000+ will work. Exact same engine with different tranny...

Thanks guys I really appreciate that, now I can move forward with no worries.

BTW is the Ultra S my best bet for power gains? I have a system and the 12V charger series sounds good too, but I'm getting a power cap soon so I done have worries about lights dimming. Has anyone dyno'd there car after this mod? What power gains were seen or felt after this mod?

Unorthodox Racing has dyno results for a 2003 Acura CL Type-S 6-Speed here. Your results should be similar.

You can read all about the 2 different pullies on the UR website. Basically 85% of the power gains are from the lightened pulley. So the 12V charger series will have about 85% of the gains that the Ultra S will have. How much power do you have? You will be fine with the Ultra S up to about 600 watts RMS or so. BTW a capacitor doesnt help your lights, you will need another battery or an Optima Yellow top to help with that.

From Crutchfield (various versions available elsewhere):

A capacitor, which stores electrical power to deliver on demand, could help. A cap cannot correct a battery or alternator problem, but can alleviate some of the intense current draw associated with brief low frequency musical peaks (like hard bass hits).

Typically, the main reason that you would want to add a capacitor to your audio system would be to gain better sound quality, especially from the low end of your system. Low frequencies require more power in order to be reproduced at the same level as higher frequencies. The capacitor improves the sound quality by storing electricity from the battery (which is provided by the alternator), and releasing it very quickly when the amplifiers need it. The capacitor then recharges from the battery. As you can see, the capacitor helps alleviate some of the direct stress that would normally be on the battery and alternator, but if there is a power problem in the vehicle it's best to go right to the original source and upgrade the alternator

If your lights dim either when the bass hits or when multiple accessories are turned on, then the best thing that you can do to fix the problem is upgrade the alternator. In an automotive electrical system, the alternator provides all of the electricity that the vehicle uses. The battery is maintained by the alternator, and stores enough electricity to start the car and run the accessories for a short time while the engine is off. If a stereo system that has a high amount of current draw is added to a vehicle, this can possibly be too much of a load on the factory alternator, especially if the load is near or over the alternator's maximum output capabilities.

I have 500 watts rms total running to my subs 250 each. I don't experience dimming of lights, but if I add the UR Ultra S will this cause my lights to dim? If not I am all set. I did want to know if my increases will mirror the cl-s or the accord v6. I have a 99 tl. Will just the crank pulley be what I need to gain power and not lose too much current?

With that setup, you will be fine with the regular Ultra S version. You will find similar gains with your car, but not as much as a Type S (thats the way it goes for us TLP owners). You will still see very worthwhile gains - go for it

Thanks ou sig, that really answers all my concerns, I am getting this mod asap!
