FOR ALL DIETERS, Just say "NO" to a relocated batery.
Relocating battery and Diet do NOT mix.
Relocated battery requires a LOT of HEAVY cable.
Plus, a relocated battery must be a bigger size to negate the added wire resistance from being in the trunk.
For what purpose? Handling? I think NOT. With the diet, there is no reason for cheap tricks like relocating the battery. Once the weight is off of the car, you will have hyper handling and you will NOT be wanting any more responsiveness than you got. Ever driven a go-kart? Yes, my car steers nearly like a go-kart where the slightest twitch is immediately translated into movement.
Plus, that weight is more desirable over the front wheels for drag racing traction.

but with the weight off i feel my suspension mod plans will be coming sooner than what i have planned as when i pass 100 mph my car is like lifting off the floor feels good and scary at the same time.

so as you guys all saw the junk that was in my gf's garage her parents were kind of all whatever about my stuff being there. so today i loaded all my crap in the morning before work. and my first thought when i hit the freeway was. wtf ? do i have a sumo wrestler in the trunk? it felt so heavy lols. this is only about a week or 2 after the diet. the car feels like a boat again. so guys if anyone wants to know if the diet works let me tell you guys again it works!. you probably wont notice if you diet a little by a little but i had a full load in my car. and nothing after i dropped off my stuff at my own house. and acceleration is back and easy braking is back. too bad no one has picked a race with me since the diet need to go out with my girl more people seem to pick on me when im with my girl

Get the UR *undersize* pulley. With the diet, every little bit of power is magnified. You don't have a big stereo anymore so no worry with the underdrive pulley. I have had my underdrive UR for over 5 years... not a single problem.
Get the Outlaw. Do the UCM. Having the weight off is one thing, but don't take the other stuff for granted. Watch my video. Watch how hard and quickly I stopped his pulled. And remember this is a 4.6 sec 0-60 mph competition. You need your engine to be as responsive as possible. What you hear in my video is not just weight lose. You are hearing the super responsiveness of my engine that I have been working on for the past 5 years.
You have a great start. Please don't do like others and diverge from my blueprint. Follow what I have done. You are my last hope buddy. I am so tired of watching others ignore my years of effort. I have documented everything that I have done and I have not held anything back from the forum. All you have to do is follow my footsteps.
I am sorry for sounding arrogant. But, I really want to see someone recreate and enjoy the fruits of my labor. You are my best hope.
BTW - Get the BC Racing coilovers, not Koni's.

That is the correct pulley, PN# 020611402.
Another belt will be needed. You need a belt that is 82.5 inches long. I used Gates K060820 (82-1/2" or 2095 mm). The NAPA Part# 060820 Micro-V will also work. Basically anything that is 82.5" long will work. But, I prefer the Gates brand.

Nelson and Inaccurate....I have to kinda disagree on the underdrive pulley....Tim, you might have not had a problem with the underdrive pulley but people on the TSX side have reported problems after couple months of usage.....
the diet I am on....i would suggest considering the longevity of fun as well....
I will only get the underdrive if and only if, I delete the AC and all other electrical components on the car hence the car is only underdriving the power steering.....
well these are my

Regarding the under drive pulley.... it has been used on the J32 long before any of us was on Acurazine. Never a problem.
Furthermore, racing ain't about being timid and careful. If stuff like the under drive pulley scares a person, they have no business trying to make a quick car. You ain't gonna whip ass by being scared and timid.

AC, Power Steering, Battery (electricals like alternator) are all being underdriven....
if you delete the AC and do not have any/many electrical systems like radio/speakers/CD player/etc you can try going that route....
again i just put in a word of caution.....some use the under-drive and never have a problem and some have a problem even with the regular pulley.....
plus words of caution from my friend Tim (Inaccurate) which he posted couple weeks back either on my thread or on of the the PM's we had going on were: do not delete the AC...
hence I still have my AC....I know villo has his ac deleted with an under drive pulley and is running a 69.5" belt (again dont quote me on this).....
btw the folk on the accord forum mentioned this....on the dyno, if they took off the serpentine belt, they car gained 6-7whp over the range of the curve....am not giving out any ideas but just mentioning....

I live in Houston. Hot and humid. 104+ summer days with the sun beating down and my car has no insulation (no carpet, no headliner,etc.) . Nothing but hot metal surfaces all around me. My UR Underdrive pulley pumps out pleanty of cold air.

PS try different intakes when you dyno. Some perform differnt depending on what mods you have. a friend of mine dyno his gsr teggy last week and got 10 more hp when they took his aftermarket CAI off and fitted with with a custom shortram intake. it was totally unexpected

If you spend more on the bigger one and don't see any performance gains, at least it should stay clean a bit longer.

Don't know about filter pricing or what ones fit your CAI, but I would think a bigger filter is better right? More surface area = more filtration and higher flow, so buy the biggest one that fits your intake.

This won't happen until the water is up to the intake piping, which is at the same height regardless of filter.

If you're running the same CAI either way, the small filter wouldn't be any more safe (with regards to hydrolocking) than the big one. Sure the big filter will get wet first, but it shouldn't start sucking in water until it's fully submerged.
