I ordered a set of UR pulleys from mark at throwdown performance and they arrived today. Shipping and communication with mark was top notch! So i go to pick up the package and it felt like nothing was in them! Pulleys are so damn light! I will be getting them installed on saturday so i will be sure to review how they feel. The instructions say it takes 5 days to feel the full gains so well see how it goes! check back in a couple days

ecko508

I will have pics and a review saturday night hopefully if the install goes as planned with my mechanic. I think the downpipe is next Throwdown performance For the win!

I got them installed last week.
I'm the first person with UR pulleys..

KillerG

make sure you never tell us how they are

ecko508

Ronald what are your thoughts on the pulleys? Where did you get them installed and how much did the charge you?

tsxronald

I installed them at home.. Make sure you have the car on 6th gear and some one stepping on the break and put a screw driver in the whole for the crank pulley. Alternator pulley is a tight fit just make sure you take out the alternator ( it's a bitch to but back on since i have big hands)..lol pulleys are super light and throttle response is improved mpg goes up by 2.00 bang for the buck.

Wow you installed them yourself! I'm having a shop do it just because I don't feel like dealing with the hassle. I have an at not a 6spd. What tool did you use to remove it maybe I'll give it a shot. Did u use a big breaker bar and stuff give me some confidence to try it myself and I probably will do it tonight after work lol

I got my pulleys installed Wednesday. I took them to a shop to be installed, but I know the owner so I got it taken care of free of charge. Anyway.... The only thing I can really notice is that the car pulls a little harder. I'm still feeling them out.

^i dont think you would be able to feel the gains...you should notice the car revvin' to redline faster.

ecko508

You think it's something I could do myself? Any tips tools etc?

here are your tips!

ecko508

My car is a automatic and there were not any tools or tips in there I could use. I'm capable of reading thanks anyways

you're still going to have to "break" the pulley loose.
by cranking the engine once, the torque will loosen the bolt.

tsxronald

I have shop tools at my house just let a shop do it.

KillerG

hes capable of reading man.

What do I need to disconnect before using the starter method so the engine doesn't start running?

oh is he!?
we do have a search function here on azine.
Search for Pulley installs on the 3G TL side, lots of members have done it and written up DIY's.

hope this helps, OP.

How do I turn off fuel pump relay or spark? Any help?

ecko508

Anyone?

optimusaccord

Pull the fuel pump fuse.

09ACURATSX

I'm not saying I feel gains, it just seems like the car pulls a little harder. I can't explain it man, it just feels different.

09ACURATSX

Killer, what's up man?

ecko508

Got the crank bolt off but ended up stripping the alternator bolt so my mechanic is going to remove it tommorrow. I don't know where
I'm going to get a replacement bolt I hope Acura has them needless to say I'm pretty pissed

KillerG

hey brother hows the modding going? What part are we gonna hear about next from the performance leader on the 2G boards

tsxronald

I doubt that.. he's not the most modded and far from it..
The guy from Russia and the guy with the CT s/c are top dogs here.

ecko508

Anyone have any ideas on getting stripped alternator bolt off and what bolt to replace it with if the dealer doesn't have one

ecko508

Pulleys installed . Should have went to a mechanic to begin with. I'll review them later

ecko508

What belt size did u guys use with the i4 ur pulleys? Need to know asap

tsxronald

I used the belt throwdown sells with the kit it's a tight fit but it work great. Yeah you should of let a mechanic install them. Rookie move man

KillerG

Well considering the exploding russian supercharger and the Coming Soon!TM ct-e piece are essentially both useless to us, i dont really consider them of any real value/help


09Acura definitely has Naturally Aspirated performance on top

ecko508

Alternator pulley bolt wasnt stripped like i thought it was. The belt that was supplied by throwdown was the correct belt just needed to be routed differently than the stock belt pattern. i will write up a review later but these pulleys are amazing in 2nd and 3rd gear!

HondoGermany

cant wait, Sir

tsxronald

I am top dog here then I have more mods than anyone here.

KillerG

ecko508

TSXKid2010

KillerG
