Pulleys - Page 2

^
ebay link looks to be generic copies of the UR pullies. The UR pulleys are of the same material and color.

I would rather stick to a company that is well known for parts such as pulleys. You dont want to go with a company that replicas a part becuase if they made a design flaw or made it too light where it can damage the engine.

That said, i know that AEM also makes pulleys of the same size for the rsx-s which will fit the tsx.

yeah, that was one of my primary interests in finding out about the RSX-S pulleys, however it looks like AEM is just a crank and alt pulley just like NST, and I really want that power Steering Pulley

UR is the only company that makes the PS pulley.

the PS pulley doesn really offer that much more gain if its changed from stock.

MemphisRheins · 06-10-2007, 12:31 PM

Horsepower wise, correct it does not, however as towards the responsiveness of the power steering apparently its supposed to make a nice feel, between that and the fact that the PS Pulley is the most visible, Id like to replace that as well

Hey Jay,

How ya doing man? What ever happenned to the engine setup you use to have?

If I remember right, you had some plans for you engine and were trying a few different parts.

i have NST AND i love them, install seemed pretty forward, i noticed the gains right away and felt the difference off the bat, the dynos showed it also. many of my friends on there cars also have NST and love them also. highway driving rpms seemed the same just seemed to pull harder. and on the PS pulley i think if you talk to NST they should be able to custom make one for you, they have although told me when i asked that if they see a big enough interest in there pulleys they will work on releasing the PS pulley.

They said the same thing to me, its not worth it money wise to develop one apparently, though actually thinking about it, underdriving the powersteering would make it worse not better, so maybe the NST is a better system

here is my dynos from stock

then just with NST pulleys only

hp curves

torque curve

most people do not do before and after dynos in the same weather pattern on the same day, i did mine same day as install right before and right after, the temps and conditions only changed only a few degrees over the time period which should not make a difference.

my gains are shown pretty accurately in my opinion since all conditions remained the same.

nice!! this is our best way we can show the gains.. looks like the curve is smoother =]

the first guy that posted the UR dynos posted with mods on his car. mine is a stock -> nst pulley added comparison

daicacharco · 06-12-2007, 02:25 AM

what difference does it make with the power steering pulley? make any changes or feelings towards steering ?

ians · 06-12-2007, 07:43 AM

I also have my UR pulley installed for ~1 yr and have no problem so far. Also feel the fast response on the throttle and rpm ramp up faster too.

xjohnkdoex · 06-12-2007, 09:19 AM

is there a faq page or article about the UR pulleys or just pulleys in general and their benefits or losses? i'm a total n00b when it comes to some of this stuff, and i've read a lot of opinions for/against this mod.

ha, funny u remembered that. i did away with that project due to the fact the tsx has no return line and i couldnt use a fmu for fuel management. therfore i dont trust electronics when it comes to fuel management. so no stand alone or anything. so looking for some bang for the buck...i noticed the nst seem like the ones i am gonna purchase....hey brent want to do a group install?? lol
