Anybody else have the UR Crank Pulley?
I just ordered mine so hopefully next week i'll have it installed... can't wait.. the 7th Gen Accord guys give nothing but praises.
Any 3rd gen TLers have it installed? or will i be the first?

I ordered mine too. I am a little worried about the crank bolt. i hope I can get that thing lose. It took 3 guys to crack it lose on my RSX. The impact gun i had was useless.

i just did a quick search and even tho this is a nissan its the same concept...but they only claimed 1.3 hp gain....the TL's engine is a bit bigger and more powerful so we might gain like 3 HP am i right?

the RSX-s gained 13 hp and 9 torque....
the 7th Gen accord gets around 10 - 12 hp

I just orderd my UR Pulley the other day from UltraRev.com for $179 shipped. I had a set of AEM pullies on my 98 Accord I the throttle response was so sweet. Hopefully it's the same effect on the TL. Man I thought that the pulley came with the belt also lOlzzz... I guess I have to fork out some more money for the belt. Oh yeah, does anyone know where I can get the Comptech Sway bar for a good price?

i got the 2 cranks from excelerate. one for mah buddys accord 6spd coupe and my TL. sorry mugenr and all the other people that ordered the crank from exclerate. guess unorthodox doesnt think its that popular. they be here sometime this week and i will put put it on on sunday. ill see if it really does anything but i really doubt it. i cant tell with small things like this but ill see if it really does anything.
only time i notice a difference is when i ran my 6 spd TL with aem intake and tein ss w/ stiffest setting to stop wheel hop against mah roomates 96' 911 carrera before i put on comptech exhaust with custom midpipe and magnaflow resonator and oil change. before the exhaust with intake and oil life at 30%, i ran him and he put a car on me. after the exhaust and my oil change, i ran him 3 times and he didn't go anywhere. i stuck with him all the way up to 80 before we let off. neither car pulled on one another. switched drivers and it was the same again. i thot it was driver cuz i thot any porsche would rape me. then we took out my other roomate who is a better driver and the outcome was the same. vsa was off every time and every run was from a slow roll, about 5 mph cuz these shit michelins cant stick to the ground at all. the TL, even from roll spun throughout all of 1st gear. these 2 dudes on bikes saw us and caught up with us and said themselves that they thot the porsche would eat me. sorry to go off topic, but hope this crank will make it look like the porsche is goin in reverse. haha or just put some distance on the porsche. he got it when he was 16 (rich bitch) and always raped our group of friends. made us look like bitches every time we ran him, but a porsche against gsr, rsx-s, itr, and even boosted ls integra at 10 pounds (tuned and dyno at 270 whp) is like stock civic against supra tt. maxed out injectors on integra so that was all the power he could make. owned every time. sorry for long post and going off topic, but i been studying for college chem test for 9 straight hours and got hella bored so i hit up the forums.
btw, comptech exhaust is highly recommended and i only had custom midpipe made cuz i didn't want to cut into the comptech midpipe to put on resonator so that my parents didnt notice the sound or they would kill me for messin with a new car. and the CT midpipe isnt for sale. use it later if i want the resonator off. again sorry for long post and goin off topic but im real bored from studying.

Go for it, man. It's worth it and it poses little to no risks when installed properly.

how hard to install.. not very.
how long... tops maybe 30 min depending how long it takes you to take off the crank bolt.
how much will it cost.... let's see... 179 for the pulley, 25 for the belt and if you don't want the install yourself, should be around 75-100 bucks for install.
honestly.. i'm gonna take it to a shop, i don't have the tools to take th crank bolt off.... that sucker is on there TIGHT!

man im hoping the 10-15hp gains are true...id even be happy with like a 7HP gain......for 170 bucks....thats golden.....i really hope this works out.....also....because u get more rotations from the crank, because its smaller...does this mean that ill wear out my engine faster?

belt number is gates K060820 (82-1/2" or 2095 mm), other brand is dayco or somethin like that, basically anything that is 82.5" long will work. belt cost me $25.00 at Napa.

Received my pulley the other day and took it to my buddies shop to put it on and the bolt is on there really tight!!!! We tried for about 30mins and gave up on it lOlzzz... So, tomorrow on my day off I'm going to my other friends shop that has the right tool to take it off. Hopefully we can get it off and I'll be able to see the different in the drive. Oh yeah, I finally got my 20's inch TSW Thruxton in and on the ride. I'll post up some pictures when I get the chance.

I had the UR crank pulley on my '02 Type S (I also had the headers, icebox intake, and CT exhaust) ...
After installing the UR crank pulley, I noticed that throttle response WAS indeed snappier (quicker) .. however, it wasn't a night and day difference that some of my "younger" TL brethren have suggested. I also noticed some odd vibrations coming from the engine after installing the crank pulley -- some people say the UR pulley smoothed out the engine, some say it caused different harmonic disturbances in the engine's natural frequency ... (as was the case for me).
For those who are just reading this UR crank pulley thread for the first time (meaning, you are hearing/reading about this UR pulley for the first time) .. please do some investigation online about UR crank pullies prior to investing in them. There are TWO very strong opinioned camps regarding whether crank pullies are good for your engine long-term, or not. Part of the reason why your stock crank pulley is the weight that it is .. is part of functional design in that the stock weight matches the engines natural harmonic frequency. Reducing the weight of the crank pulley does in fact decrease weight around the crank, thus freeing up horsepower, but to what effect on the engine long term?

here's one link.. but there are hundreds of others that discuss this issue online. Definitely look into it prior to investing the the pulley.

I guess having the UR crank pulley is analogous to high blood pressure in humans... it's like a silent killer .. it's a symptom-less disease on the engine until one day is actually causes some kind of failure. With the arguably 'nil "seat of my pants" results of adding the pulley, it dawned on me that intake/exhaust mods were more practical.

Hey Peter, how long did you have the pulleys on your car before getting rid of her and did it cause any damage (example, replaced crankshaft,etc.) while you had it installed. Unseen, long-term wear-n-tear damage is another issue...
Having sold electric/step motors found in robots, the ends of a tein-ss setup with edfc, etc I definitely know the advantages of having a damper (pulley in this case) to negate harmonic vibrations found within motors operating at high frequencies/rpm's. With motors period regardless what size, the less harmonic vibration, the better.
