Have you noticed any gains? Thinking about picking up the spacers....but i'll wait till the gaskets are released as well...

Can you show a shot of your whole engine bay? I haven't seen this before, and it looks great from that second pic (paint).

I'm sure you'll feel the pulley, but I figured you say that for the spacer...I think i'll hold off on it until I do my whole engine at once (Type-S cams, pulley,high-flow cats, exhaust, spacers etc...) Might as well do them all at once so you feel some gain! haha

gains from the pulleys can be felt right away. i had ur pulleys on my tsx before so i know how it'll feel after the the install. can't wait for it.

after driving around more, i can feel the slight gain from p2r spacer mod. it does have little more punch when the car is pushed. it gains speed much easily. pretty good mod for only $110 shipped. also very easy to install.

holy crap! bklynpanman !! thought you disappeared man....

are you talking about the pulley or spacers?

spacers. ( i had the Outlaw) i honestly didnt feel a god damn thing. everybody says 'low end torque, low end torque" eh....
the pulley, i definitely felt the throttle response of it. i have the UR for my new TL-S, i am waiting for all my performance mods to be shipped, then i will be doing piece by piece dyno's to see real time gains

do you have an auto? pulleys are one of the few mods that actually show a noticeable gain - allow for quicker revs so you can hit your engine's powerband sooner than before

they have two different sized crank pulley. one is stock sized and the one i got is underdrive (smaller & requires shorter belt).

pulleys got put on today. noticeable gain as i expected. weight of the stock crank pulley was way way heavier than i expected. it seems heavier than the one from my tsx.
