pulley kits?

[Skippy]

The type a belt has a different part number than the TSX belt and I do not recommend using it.

what is the difference with say using a type s or tsx belt?

[Skippy]

Well, here's the raw data:

Unorthodox racing makes pulley kits for the TSX and Accord, and they are magically the same part number.
The TSX and Accord accessory belt both have the same part number.
The RSX-S kit on UR's website has a different part number than the TSX/Accord kit.
The RSX-S belt has a different number than the TSX/Accord belt.

This information leads me to believe that the RSX-S belt is a different length than the TSX/Accord belt.  This would account for the different part numbers on UR's website, because the pulley kits have different dimensions.  UR would not have designed two different kits if there wasn't a reason to, therefore I believe that there are significant differences to the designs that prohibit using the type-s belt on our vehicles.  There's nothing special about a Type-S belt....they're made by the same company, in the same factories, by the same workers as the TSX/Accord belts are.  The only difference is in the size.  If you run a belt that is too tight (too small), it will wear faster and generate more wear on your tensioner assembly.  If you run a belt too loose (too big), the belt will slip and you will lose efficiency in all systems that utilize that belt, which includes an extra added whammy for us because our water pump, AC compressor, Power steering system, and Alternator run off of one belt.  You lose the belt and: your AC stops working, you lose Power steering, your battery dies, and your car overheats.

Quick question: Where can I buy the crank pulley tool for my car? Would I have to buy one online, or would a local store like Autozone have it?

Auto Zone has pulley pullers you can use.

I've got pulley pullers, but I was talking about this:



But lo and behold, Google was on my side today. I found this: http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech ... index.html

HONDA PART #: 07MAB-PY3010A

Hopefully this will do the job.

I think it was Cole (Heckler) selling that thing awhile back. He's been inactive for a minute though.

Hey guys, I found a pretty good deal at Amazon for the crank pulley remover tool:

http://www.amazon.com/Powerbuilt-648796 ... 905&sr=8-3

However, I plan on renting one from my local Advance Auto Parts store. They want $99.99 to rent it, but I get a full refund back when I turn it in. So I'm just going to get my stepdad's plastic and do it that way. But for the rest of you people, I'd definitely take the Amazon deal into consideration. That's a steal for being a $60+ tool.

Hey guys I just got my pulleys installed today. I wanna make sure it was installed right so I have a question. Can anyone tell me what the centerbore is? It said the "center bore" had to be coated with anti-seize. What I'm asking is that, is the center bore the hole itself INSIDE the pulley or the area around the hole on the outside? Thanks!

[Silver Bullet]

nvm i searched and found the info, i'll have to go back tomorrow

So hey, simple question since you commented about your UR pulley set....how much ( guestimated) power did you think you gained? I have been eyeing them for about six months........

[Mike]

I wouldn't expect a huge power gain. They basically lessen the rotating mass making the engine more efficient. I'd expect less than 5HP.

Does anyone recommend getting UR pulleys? Im on the fence about them, and i need some advice with someone who has first hand experience??
