just wow.

 

You are Wrong on both points.

 

if I am wrong show me how my points are innacurate

 

Lightweight pulleys have less rotational mass, therefore it takes less energy to turn them, furthermore they are a different size than OEM which means they transfer less energy to the accessories they operate reducing the parasitic drain allowing more power to be transmitted to the wheels.

ABS has been proven to reduce accidents by braking the wheels that have more traction and not breaking wheels without traction. They pulse the brake best suited to stop the car with the force needed so as to not cause the wheel to lose traction.

ABS was invented and designed initially to stop large jets (747s I believe).

Please quantify the research you have showing how you arrive at your conclusions.

 

^yup, that and why do ppl put bbk on their car and not upgrade the master cylinder, yet its been proven to stop the car/truck faster.

 

when I do upgrade the brake system (not just calipers and pads) I will be going with 07' Acura RL calipers. . . . Like a real man

 

ANYWAY were those the rite part numbers? not tryna order somethin that won't fit...

 

This about sums it up perfectly.

 

abs is definitely better in the rain, but here in tx that doesn't happen much, a trained foot and a level head will keep you from lockin the brakes up, for the the little rubber band in our pulley, thats there for a reason to absorb vibrations that run up and down the crankshaft if that dampening device is not present, causing premature wear on the bearings and shaft itself. I wouldn't use a lightend pulley unless I spent the money to get my engine perfectly internally balanced with it installed into the assymbly, there is no doubt that parasitic drain is caused by rotaional mass, but the bigger picture is my engines safety, I asked Real engine builders, the foreman acura mechanic, and the ebay seller wouldn't answer my question when I asked if it was safe for daily driving, all leading me to believe a pulley wouldn't be the safest chioce for daily driving

 

^wrong again. we dont have a harmonic balancer, our cranks are already balanced. we have no rubber band around it. do ur research and actually look at the pulley.

the ebay sellers just want to sell their shit. as to no response maybe they dont want to be held responsible if u put it on wrong or u mess up ur engine is some other way.

 

show me the band

 

Wrong again, Our motors are Internally balanced (the crank is zero balanced). The stock pulley is NOT a harmonic balancer. The elastomer in the OEM pulley serves as an isolator, which is there to suppress noise from the engine accessories; the A/C compressor, P/S pump, and alternator. This is what the manufacturers call NVH (Noise Vibration & Harshness) when referring to noticeable noise and vibration in the passenger compartment.

I have OVER 200k miles on my motors running a light weight pulley. No damage to my motor (from that).
PLEASE stop spreading misinformation.

 

Actually there is a small band between the large and small pulley, and its described above what its for. My motor is every bit as smooth with no noticeable nvh

 

not that band, the band that the guy was talking about.

 

Please purchase a clue.

Not one word of what you posted is accurate (sorry it rains less in parts of Texas then it does in the rain forrest or PNW)

I can show references that support my statements, can you?

 

so uhh if ur done proven that FlacoJ is wrong, which you have accomplished, can yall get bak on topic an answer my question since im the only 1 tryna stay on topic??

 

haha yeah, answer the question, I want to know the answer also!

Whats the part number for the correct NSX calipers for our car?

 

thanks 4 the backup jamez!

 

call sterling Acura and ask yourself's (512) 691-3800
call vetchnicans (512) 444-8832
about the pulley, they will tell you the same thing I said

here are two reputable shops that soley work on hondas both stock and moddified

How about asking people that actually know a thing or 2 about it, which wouldnt be techs at the dealer. They are misinformed just like you are. Contact UR Racing. Ask them about it, better yet read what i typed. That is true information.

 

I believe those who are experienced engine builders who aren't trying to sell me anythin

 

kris let him remain blissfully ignorant... he's jus missin out

 

I believe me and DaveS221 are still waiting

 

I was saying everything you said was not true EXCEPT for what you said about rain in Tx.

 

yea iv come to the "conclusion" that no1 is answering our question because they want us to "search" for it, but iv read all the other threads and 90% of the info is about the legend calipers. i found sum1 said they used certain part numbers that wer apart of my lil "list" a few posts back but i am unsure what those particular ones come with cuz the price listings are all different. im just trying to get the calipers and nothing more. but owell...

 

oshit thats what those numbers were?? lmaooo i saw them and didn't give them and thought they wer gear ratio's or sumthin idk i just presumed the guy was rambling an didnt give it a second thought.

 

1. Building engines and DESIGNING them are two different things. One is done by a tech, the other is done by an engineer.

2. Techs at dealers don't do R&D testing.

 

let keep this sorta on topic, brakes.

if i want to check out my pads for wear do i have to bleed out the system? as long as i dont have to compress the piston i shouldnt have to bleed out the system? do i have to compress the piston if i am just checking the pads for wear?

just going to take the pads off and put them back on, should not have to compress the piston right?

thanks

 

Same here!

Lets keep on "topic" about NSX calipers.

Again... Whats the part number for the NSX calipers that fit our 2nd gen TL's

 

PM StonedCL, he has them and has posted the part numbers before

 

Checking for wear, you just look to see how much pad thickness you have left. No need to compress anything. Just take the caliper off and put them back on.

Actually you don't really need to take the caliper off to check for wear.

 

Thanks

 

look that up in a dictionary? wow u must be a revered engineer in this very field, or do u just know alot of them in your career as a crash dummy.

 

pretty sure a dictionary wouldn't help in that statement. nice try though.

 

thanks, sounds easy, my pads are so low i cant even see how much of them are left, haha.

 

My UR pulley is treating me just fine and some of the techs at the stealership are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

Its time for my front brakes again, so I am looking hard at this Legend or NSX caliper upgrade...good info here in this thread, minus what Falco talkin' bout..
