Torque Specs for UR Stock Sized Crank Pulley (SC'd TL)

Does anyone know the torque specs for the UR LW Stock Sized Crank Pulley?

You can test the torque of the existing nut if still on

Otherwise search for a DIY on UR install and should find specs there
I saw a thread recently with pics of full install

That is the whole point. If it is incorrect now, testing it now does nothing for my concern/question.

I searched the thread you mention and all of the others with no information about what the correct torque spec is for the crank bolt with the stock sized LW UR crank pulley.

Anyone know this answer??

I would contact member Inaccurate

he has done the mod and posted a whole thread on it.

Has the stock bolt already been moved- is that the prob?

As tight as possible is the likely answer considering people use a 3 foot breaker bar and bumping the starter to get them loose, it is a very important- and substantial size bolt-
Imagine the size of the wheel lugs and they are for 80 lbs
Crank bolt is probably bigger and if you have an air gun- tight as you can

Its no different than that of the regular underdrive pulley installation. Looking at the service manual....the OEM setting is at 47 lbf-ft with a torque wrench and 19MM socket.

MichaelBenz - With all due respect, please check again.

The factory value for the crank pulley is 181 ft. lbs. This is why the project is such a PITA for doing it yourself !!!

Now, we can open a new can-of-worms. UR specifies that the UR Pulley needs to be torqued in the following manner -
1) 47 ft-lbs.,
2) then turn an additional 60 degrees

Now, what does the "additional 60 degrees" turn equate into in terms of ft. lbs. ? I don't know. Thus, can of worms.

For mine, I told the mechanic to torque it to the 181 ft. lbs factory setting. He checked and confirmed the manual called for 181 ft lbs.

In retrospect, torquring it to 181 ft. lbs. might not be advisable. I read some things on the internet [shrug] that indicates any aluminum pulley might shatter under excessive clamping torque.

Kind of like spark plugs on a grand scale
contact plus 1/3 turn or 13 lbs

Seems like a call to UR is in order to be sure
That 47lbs plus 60 degrees - they must have a number for that
or its a number higher than most homeowner torque wrenches will go to

I checked and you are correct sir...it does say 47 and then an additional 60 degrees in the Acura Service Manual. Frankly...I had mine put on (twice - underdrive and stock lightweight w/ supercharger) so I was just looking it up in the service manual. I was gonna check the install instructions with the UR pulley...but they are at my office at the moment so I was gonna check that on Monday and see if it was different than what is published in the service manual. Somebody ought to post pdf copies of that stuff on here. (the UR directions) But at any rate...I stand corrected. It indeed does have the extra part about an additional 60 degrees. Thanks for adding that part!

Sorry guys but i dont get the ft lbs? is that comparable to PSI on a compressor gauge?

Here is the UR Installation Instructions. It states -

Crankshaft Pulley Bolt Torque Specification Procedure
• 47 ft-lbs. / 564 in-lbs. / 64 Nm, then turn an additional 60 degrees

Here's a hard question... When I installed my pulley, I had a hard time tightening up the pulley bolt, as it had a tendency to turn the crank at high torque. I even went and got the wife, had her sit with the foot on the brake and tried to tighten (which helped), but right as I hit that "engine rotation" torque, the crank would turn a bit...

Right now, my pulley is "as tight as I can get it".

What did everyone else do to lock the engine get the proper torque? I bet there are a lot of folks out there with the pulley "as tight as they could get it".

I will check when I get home Kennedy....but I seem to remember there being mention of a special wrench....like there was a boxed end wrench type tool that went over to hold it still...then you tightened the bolt. I can check when I get back home.

Yes...that is the case. It is in the service manual section 6-11 & 12. It mentions the following....Holder Handle 07JAB-001020A and Holder Attachment, 50mm, offset 07MAB-PY3010A. And it does appear to work on the pulley itself....even states...hold pulley with handle - and all it looks like is a box end wrench type attachment that is offset. Hope that helps.....

I figured there was a special wrench... So, let me ask my question a different way.

Most tuner shops don;t have this, and lots of folks are installing these in thier driveway via bumpstart. What are YOU FOLKS doing to get your pulley properly torqued?

Michael,

I think you are speaking in terms of the stock pulley only. If you look at this picture, the stock pulley has the hex shape in the the center, but the UR pulley does not.

I'm also trying to figure out how people are tightening the crank bolt.

Good point sir....good point. I am not sure why I didnt remember that! Crap...even the high boost pulley for the supercharger has the "hold bolt" area. Fact is....I had my pulley done for me when I was visiting one day...then had the SC lightweight pulley done when I got the supercharger installed at the same place....therefore...I never actually touched it...lol. We have been working on developing products for the TL...so simple stuff kinda gets taken care of for me when I stop in....and I dont always have time or the wish to watch, as usually we have something in the office to discuss or meet about. I will ask next time I am there which should be within a day or so.

How is everyone installing these without properly torquing the crank bolt?

Anyone?

Thanks

I find it hard to believe that out of all the UR pulleys installed that nobody has an answer to this question....
Are you ok with "as tight as I can"

I've been putting off the installation of the pulley I picked up from you until I found an answer to this question.

As you know torque specs are for a reason...

Ok.....I get where you are coming from...but also keep in mind there is a keyway there that in essence....is really what keeps it from spinning on the shaft under normal operation...it doesnt have anything to do with the torque you placed on the bolt so far as that goes. I will check with Joe next time I am with him and ask about your question though. I am not saying it isnt important mind you...but pinnacle to the whole deal...not. My guess...tight as you can get it good enough.

5000 miles, and as tight as I can has been good enough...

Thanks MB & Kennedy for your responses. I'll slap it on this weekend.
I guess that "tight is alright"

let me know how that goes for you. I tried putting mine on today with no luck in getting the original drive pulley bolt off. Tried an impact wrench and a breaker bar. I ended up bending a 36in breaker bar before I finally threw in the towel.

You gotta believe me when I tell you that there's no way even a 10 foot pipe would of worked for us. Pimpin_tl put a 3 in extension on the breaker bar to give us a little clearance and we ended up warping it. We went through hell getting that damn bolt off; but it's done now and I can start looking at the next mod...

WOW...

So. in reference to my previous question. How are you guys locking th eengine to get that bolt tightened back up again? or are you like the rest of us, with that bolt, "as tight as you can".

I liberally applied a dose of loctite and went with the "tight as I can get it method".
