im sure there are many posts on this, i heard our motors are balanced internally so the pulley had no adverse effects on our cars right?
Has anyone with an 07-08 type s had a pulley installed and has done some decent miles and can report no issues?
i wanna get one, but i keep hearing positives and negatives...

TL-S? Yes. UR Pulley? YES!!
Done.
Want to know how? Read Kennedy's post here:
A-098: DIY: UR Crank Pulley info
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153549
And watch the You Tube video.
Used:
- Craftsman 1/2" drive, 20" Extension
- Honda Pulley Tool (for sale, PM me)
- 2 @ 15" x 1/2" Drive Craftsman "breaker bars" (one for the 19mm, one for the Pulley tool)
- 19mm High Strength Socket
- 48" x 1/2" Black Iron Pipe from Lowes (~$7) (Just buy it, you'll thank me later)
IR Impact Gun = No Dice
1 good pull with that 48" Iron pipe = CRACK!! (thanks mmade22 for the muscle, the time, the tools and the garage )
Removal = 10 - 15 mins (max) after getting set up.
Hardest part was getting the wheel off. ........... :troutslap

^ I'm with you on the part where the hardest part was to get the wheel off. I used everything you used and it was simple. TO EVERYONE:
Just use the right tool and it will come off perfectly!!
Thanks Bearcat94!

maybe hoping to s/c in the near future? that's the reason why i went with the stock size pulley...but then again there's an issue of surging, right?

Dude, you have no IDEA. It took ~2 - 3 hours to get my wheel off.
I lost my lug nut key. Drove home to look for it - nada. FEK!! Back to mmade22's to get my car. Drive to the dealer to buy a new key. Back to mmade22's house. Wrong key. FEK!! Back to the dealer. Back to mmade22's house.
FINALLY have a key to get the wheel off.
The pulley was simple compared to that self-induced fiasco.

^ Oh damn, my bad! I didn't know about all that mess! Well in that case then, the hardest part was waiting to hear that "pop" that the bolt makes when it finally break loose. I'm still waiting on UPS to show up and deliver the pulley and the belt so I can slap it on and tighten everything back up.

Yeah, I'm a dumb ass.
Glad yours went in well. Right tools FTW!!
I really like this mod - car feels like it's much quicker (Butt dyno).

Thanks again for the write up on how you did it Bearcat94! IMO that's how it should be installed if you are going to DIY!

I just placed my order for the underdrive UR pulley and Gates belt at the Excelerate online store for my 08 TL-S. I'm excited about this one! Since I don't have the tools to get the job done I'mma just have the Honda specialist (not the Honda dealership) install the pulley for me. I don't mind spending the money to have the job done right.

Yeah for a R&R job it will cost about that much with the Honda Specialist. I'm reluctant to have some else do the job other than the Honda dealership or specialist. The words and the name of the tool "breaker bar" just doesn't sound too good. Thanks Bearcat94.

I was told by a guy at work that I should get a reg size pulley since I am running a 500wrms mono sub amp, but I have a 1.5 farad cap, what pulley should I get? He also said the reg size pulley makes the car loose torque??? I have no idea ???
