Hey guys I was just woundering what you all thought about underdrive pulleys. I was thinking about getting a set of OBX pulleys. Some of my friends tell me it is a great thing to do for faster acceleration and some would beg to differ. What do you think?

 

I don't think it really makes much of a diffrence. What mods do you have on your car already? The money can be better spent.

 

Underdrive pulleys are one of the last mods to do. It doesn't really make a significant difference in power, but if you're a racer like me every little bit helps.

 

I dont have much done yet just a tcsportline muffler, short intake, short throw shifter, little wait reduction, advanced timing, front stut bar, rear as well, empty cat, basic excedy clutch kit, and my tein s-tech should be here next week. Just the basic stuff. But I do race in autocross. I dont want to stick a whole butt load of money into my car because I have a daughter to take care of, but I would like to improve were I can. Any help is appreciated.

 

Wel from your mods you look like you are in Street Mod the least. Without R tires you are going to be killed. So what you want to do is focus on getting seat time. Don't worry about mods cause it's not going to do anything to lower your times. Seat time will.

Read my sig below.

 

sounds like STS to me, aside from the weight reduction :dunno:

 

the only one that matters is the crank pulley. if you want power, just remove things that you could get aftermarket pulleys for like powersteering and ac (ac is mad heavy to y0).

 

ac weighs like 30 pound if you weigh all the seperate peices...and even a crank pulley isnt gonna net you crazy gains.

 

I remember back when I still owned the accord, people would trash underdrive pullies left and right. Something about them throwing off "harmonic balance"

 

He has a gutted cat, aftermarket clutch and removed rear stuff. Actually the gutted cat would put him in E Mod.
