As some of you may know, we used to offer a light weight crank pulley for the J30 and J32 engines. They shaved almost 7 lbs off the stock pulley weight off, and looked great doing it. The XLR8 Crank Pulley was made from a lightweight aluminum, designed to help reduce weight and free up horsepower - without the additional rotational weight of stock pulley more of your engine's horsepower is available to go straight to the wheels.

These pulleys feature a stock diameter and are perfect for engines with a factory or aftermarket supercharger to maintain factory boost levels. High wattage aftermarket audio systems also benefit from stock diameter as many audio competitions require voltage to remain at a specific level.


The build quality:

• Constructed from aluminum for improved horsepower through weight reduction
• Designed and manufactured in the U.S, using U.S. produced materials
• Precision CNC machined to fall within .001"" tolerances
• 0 gram balanced
• Includes XLR8 Full Warranty

Weight Savings:

• Stock Weight (lbs.):8.5
• PUL-J30/32 Weight (lbs.):1.6

Vehicle Fitment:

• 1997 - 1999 TL 3.0 V6 ALL
• 2001 - 2003 CL ALL
• 2001 - 2003 MDX ALL
• 1999 - 2003 TL ALL

Helping to bring them back?

Due to the fact that the pulley in question was made to fit vehicles that were well over a decade old (almost two in some cases) XLR8 had decided to discontinue the J30/32 pulley. The vehicles it is designed to fit are getting harder and harder to come by, and the aftermarket community for them has began to slow down. We did not want to get caught with a fresh pile of shiny aluminum pulleys collecting dust!

With the above being said, every action has a reaction, and it seems like with the discontinuation of the pulley came more interest in it. We wanted to put this thread together to help gauge interest in the pulley amongst the community - and should the be enough interest, get a group buy together to get the next batch into production!

Retail previously was $249. If we could collect 10 or more J30/32 owners who were seriously interested we can begin to discuss pricing and out pricing and lead times. If you are interested please send me a PM with your first & last name, vehicle info, and email address. We can get you on a list and pass along the updates!

Thanks for making the post! Im definitely signed up for the product as I inquired via email

 

Hey Acurazine,

For those who are interested, please fill out the group buy form seen below with all the necessary info:

We figured that would be a little easier to track than PMs and emails. If you do have some questions please feel free to reach out however.

Happy modding!

The first one was set to XLR8 employees only, apologies!

 

We are about half way there! Once we have enough people to justify collecting deposits we will post up here and begin to give everyone a call or an email to get things into production.

Thank you for the support!

 

Any chance something like this for crank, alternator and power steering pulleys for the j32a3 engines in the works? 07 Acura TL Base.

 

Is this part compatible with the J32A3?

 

We do have a crank pulley available for the 3G TLs which can be seen on our website here: https://xlr8performance.com/i-37315-...earch%3DSearch

The alternator and power steering pulleys are a different story however. They are not currently produced, but could be with the proper backing much like the 2G pulleys. If this is something others have interest in as well feel free to let us know!

 

I am guessing you have a 3G base model, which you can find the pulley for online here: https://xlr8performance.com/i-37315-...earch%3DSearch

 

I'd like to buy if the design is going to be updated. Is it going to look like this image:



Or will it look like the images you posted?
