I recently spoke with Josh from Excelerate Performance about getting Accessory Pulleys made for the Third Gen TL. He told me a 3pc kit would cost in the rage of $350-$400 (which would include the crank pulley); the accessory pulleys would be about $200 alone. We would need at least 25-35 people to participate to get these made. So if you are serious about wanting to buy these please put your name on the list.

I might be interested. What is the gain are we going to get and who is manufacturing it?

 

probably UR...

 

UR will be the manufacturer. It is hard to say what the gain will be being that it hasn't been made or tested yet. It could be 2 or 3HP per pulley or more but dont quote me because every car is different. The pulley would dress up the engine a little better and me personally i want to get as much HP out of my car as i can N/A.

 

^ you know UR is based on the Island? I think Deer Park or Babylon

 

Don't most pulleys sets get about 13hp for all of them? Give or take a few hp

The pulleys are probably the best money per hp gain you can get.

 

I'm down. Add me.

Yeah they are located in Copiague right on sunrise, i had stopped in there for some extra stickers and got to talking about accessory pulleys and he said to contact excelerate so i did...

msala524- that is true including the crank pully so i stand corrected. I already have the crank pully so what i was referring to was just the other 2 pulley's alone

 

pulleys dont really "add" hp.... they just free up hp that is being robbed from the OEM 8lb pulleys....

definitely good investment... i know the the 2G folks had accessory pulleys, and they were pretty happy

 

^ That is true. Either way i hope this list gets more people because i would really like that extra hp even though it might not be much but every bit counts especially bc (and i hate the fact that) we cant tune.

 

Hey Sonnick... do you have HIDs in your car?

 

Yup. 6000K. I saw a white 4th gen TL make a R at the Gulf station right off Willis Ave around ~9PM tonight, going towards the LIE and give it a little gas...was that you? Lol.

 

put me down for a set too....i just want the accessory pulleys. I already have the crank pulley !!!!

 

yuppppp ... i was getting gas @ shell, and i saw you at gulf...

your car reminded me of just how sexy an AV6 coupe is.... very clean car

You know I'm all in for this mod!!

 

you forgot me

^^^ no I didn't I was trying to add your name too but I'm on the iPhone and it didn't let me make the change lol sorry. Already have crank too so I want the accessory pulleys

 

Ok, I am in.

6. AtlM5 - Accessory pulleys only

 

This would be mostly a cosmetic add-on. The factory accessory pulleys are light and do not rob much of any additional power. The big loss is from the crank pulley. So for those interested in doing this, please understand that it is only for dress up of the engine bay.

I did some looking into of this to see if the CL parts would work. The weight difference between the stock and the UR were close to zero. The power steering one was just about the same weight, but the UR alternator pulley was heavier then the OEM one.

I have to believe that the alternator pulley is the same as the CL one. The power steering one I am not sure, I would need to take everything apart to compare the OEM one to the UR.

Most pulley sets will offer an underdrive for the crank and oversize the accessory pulleys just a bit to make up for the size difference.

I really don't see the accessory pulleys freeing up any HP. The crank pulley takes car of this and is one of the best mods for the money. But boy would it add some bling factor under the hood!

 

Thanks man! I was like hmm that TL is pretty sexy

We should meet up sometime, you said you're in NHP? We have to be real close to be getting gas at the same station lol. Funny thing is I usually get gas @ Shell but I had already turned into the Gulf lol.

 

I wouldnt do this just for some bling under my hood. When i talked to Josh he said that him and UR wanted to do this a while ago but they werent sure if there was enough demand to produce it...I dont think they would go through the trouble of making them if they didn't add really any HP at all but that's just my opinion anyone else wanna chime in?

 

Yea, i love near Shelter Rock/Searingtown.... When im taking the LIE home, that Shell or Gulf are usually where i stop if i need gas

theres a LI meet brewing for Sunday Oct 4th

 

crank pulley is just about all you can expect from releasing some power. the rest is just a waste of money...and again i understand everyone's looking to mod their cars, and thats fine, but seriously $400 for this is a complete waste of money, i dont care how good quality they are....get a crank pulley if you can afford.....get rid of the AC compressor if you have the balls, and thats about as much as you can release from the accessory drive line.

to the OP, if you really really wanted to have a mod that would make a tremendous difference, you could've gotten UR through whoever you did, to make a clutch kit for the 3G TL, and for the Auto guys, they could make an aluminum flywheel and free up more power than the crank pulley does.

 

As I mentioned out the outset to the OP the accessory pulleys are going to make maybe 1-2 hp each; it isn't much. So this mod is basically for aesthetics or if you are trying to squeeze out every bit of hp.

 

Is exactly what i am looking to do

 

my name is tenzing, i am new to this forum. i own a 03 Accord v6. just curious the UR crank pulley is shared between both the 7th gen accord and 3rd gen tl, then the these accesory pulleys should fit my 03 accord v6 too right? correct me if im wrong. thanks also i have a cardomain page too. come check me out http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3184891. please no haters

 

im down for an aluminum flywheel

 

so will these accessory pulleys fit my 7th gen v6 accord? if so put me on the list!!!! i sooo want this man!!!

 

i would also love to have a nice clutch for the car made by UR

 

I'm in!! HEATSEEKER.

 

i have to agree with opel. i think this is a waste of money.

 

^ yeah, that's what i thought too? I thought the other accessory pulleys didn't do much, power wise? Crank pulley only...?

 

yeah dude if ur still doing the accessory pullies im in. TENZINGSHERPA

 

Bump

 

Damn, I totally missed this post. I would've been down for that meet. Are there any others on LI soon?

 

damn i missed the meet too. there should be another one!!

 

FITMENT:
03-07 AV6, Ridgeline, Pilot

I really wish the guys posting about power to dollar spent just shut up...

You guys think UR will r&d a engine dressup... I had UR pulley sets in my last B18.... And it hauled ass... Current b18 has no accessories lol

Point of my post: UR will squeeze the power out... Key design feature UR cuts weight by drilling holes on the pulleys... So they'd easily make something extremely light and create a balance as to what will work

Ps. Anybody compared 3g to 4g... Likelyhood of them being identical is high (I'm on my bb can't really cross refference)

 

UR wont R&D engine dress up...but they will R&D money making.....sure enough proof is all over the thread.

Can't compare different cars....especially a 4 banger vs. V6.
Dropping 8 lbs off the crank pulley on a 4 cyl, vs. V6 isn't the same

even dynoed....you can't speak of a difference either, when its by 2-3 hp..so yeah POWER/$$$ ratio sucks! and i wouldn't bother with anything more than a crank pulley.
