lol nice vid! it was funny at the end haha.

 

lol nice video. damn never knew your car only had 4,8xx miles on it only. BTW what parking lot were you in? can't wait to see this at the next local meet.

 

Yeah, the car is a newborn basically.
I was in that parking lot by the South Town Target, just a bit down from France Ave.
See you at the next meet

 

By any chance do you have video of putting it in for a DIY

 

Lol, I suppose I could show you the pic I took while the car was on the lift at Bob & Steve's. Yeah I payed to have it installed:rolleye2: Although it didn't look that hard, assuming you have Air-Tools and a lift. I do kinda like having the security of having them do it, and if they F' anything up, I can just say "you better replace that sh!t".
The Pulley came with directions, do you think they even looked at them? Hellz no, must be an ego thing.
Oh BTW, you will need a new belt (the Gates one is recommended by Ralco, and it cost me $40 at O'Riely).

 

wowo ur car still new... lol I like the part when you peel out. I am getting some tools and getting ready to put my set in. Woot Woot. I heard it is a big different for teh i4 since we have 3 pullies in the kit vs v6 1 crank pulley.

 

Cool, good luck with that.
You must have the Crank + 2 other pulleys (Power Steering & AC?).
Watch out when you remove the stock Crank pulley, the little "Key" thing falls out; I heard mine fall to the shop floor as the guy was working on it. Lol, thing must of been hot as hell because I could see heat distortion of the air above it; that and the fact he spent 40 seconds blowing it off with air.

 

you have a i4 or a v6?

 

V6 baby! Now the car is starting to feel more like it too.

 

Wonder what I should do with the stock pulley?! Discus maybe

 

Paper weight FTW!! lol an 8 pound crank pulley paper weight

 

Those papers wouldn't be going anywhere

 

i have these for the i4 but havent installed them yet.

 

Wondering if it would do anything significant to an I4 though?

 

very significant if you get the set of all three

 

I have the i4 and there were three pulleys. I forgot which ones. But the gains are very noticeable. You give it about a week...

I had these installed only less than a month but the car felt like a v6 bc it ran smoother and the RPM's ran up faster and smoother lol.

Only thing is, the shop i paid $200 to install were full of **** because they used a honda instruction manual for installing stock pulleys instead of the instructions i provided them with for the ralco pulleys. other than that, noone has had problems.

 

Wow, $200 is a lot. I paid $65.

 

Yeah not only did they rip me off, they made me pay to get the car fixed after the pulleys ****ed up my alternator bearings. I ended up losing 1k. I had to pay to get stock pulleys reinstalled and a new alternator. I tried suing the shop but lost.

Suffice to say i will never go back to the shop and i will stop anyone i know from making the same mistake. Karma will be a ***** when he gets it one day.

 

is this the kit you got?

if not, where do i get them from?

 

wow y is it so ****en cheap? I just dropped 420 *140 each for 3 pulley set*

140x3 = 420

 

nice marcus! cant wait to see it at the next local meet

 

Great video H-B! I really like your commentary on it. Glad you're happy with it. I went with the UR underdrive and me and my right foot are loving it!!!

 

nice lil spunky car now!! haha great vid

 

Oh man sorry to hear that, I'm sure those SOB's will get what they have coming to them. It totally sounds like they either installed the pulley wrong or the belt was off or they put the wrong size belt.

 

For you guys with the K24's what did you torque your bolts to?

 

mike to answer ur question, it's torqued to factory specs. one of the pulleys is different though. whatever they don't tell u, it's gonna be factory. just remember to coat it with anti-siege. bc the shop that installed mine didn't.

it really makes me wonder how i didn't win the case when i had hard evidence. i was trying to tell the judge that the shop used the wrong instructions for the parts so it's only right that i blame them for the things that went wrong.

 

Yes I agree that you should have won that case. I got my pulleys used, so I dont have any of the specs what so ever. Do you happen to know them?

 

awesome =)now i need to save up

 

Not wider, just shorter. The circumference of the new pulley is a lot smaller than the old one (which is the point.)

 

thank you =D

 

has the alternator output (at idle) changed at all?

 

so I installed this mod about 4 days ago and still don't see the HUGE difference people were talking about I don't even think any difference has happened at all

 

give it a full week, then u will notice.

 

Where can i get one for my 03 V6?? Ebay seems to only have them for Accords up through 2002.... would that pulley fit or no?
