Thanks guys, we have these in stock and ready to ship. We will be waiting for your orders.

May I suggest asking friends, family, or loved ones to help with the purchase... We have the rest of our lives to receive socks and sweaters under the tree, why not ask for something that we will actually be very excited about for a change?!

All the pictures on here seem to show a belt routing where the belt wraps around 180 degrees of the alternator pulley (approximately.) However, looking under the hood of my car (2009 Civic LX Coupe) it seems to wrap just under 90 degrees of the pulley. Here's what I mean...

Probably a small inconsequential thing, but I happened to notice today.

All the pictures youve seen are from 06 models. There was a TSB for the belt because it was making a humming, diesel sounding noise. They rerouted the belt to eliminate the noise. They did that to mine.

Ah, well that explains that, then.

Weird to think that something as seemingly small as belt routing can make such a difference.

i have an 06...when i get these pulleys should i have them installed with the belt setup like stock or this new configuration? (my car isnt making any weird noises)

yeah i want to know to,anyone did a before and after dyno?

akronmusician413 · 12-08-2008, 11:37 PM

i saw someone's dyno and it ended up being around 5whp and 5wtq throughout the whole rpm range

***NonStopTuning*** · 12-09-2008, 12:15 AM

You should see gains of roughly 5hp and 5tq across the entire RPM band.

Very substantial considering this mod only costs about $200 right now...

I cannnot get the crank bolt off. i used 550 lb/ft wrench. How much torque is actually needed to get this damn thing off?

akronmusician413 · 12-17-2008, 10:31 PM

What I finally did after the third try to get it off was go to a local car shop and asked them knock the nut loose off the crank. He mentioned he had a 1000ft/lbs tq. wrench just for Honda's/Acura's as they are notorious for their locked crank nut.

So for $20 bucks the guy knocked it loose and tightened it back up just enough to where I would be able to get it off at home. Before then I tried everything with the exception of using a breaker bar lodged between the control arm or such and bumping the engine. Quite a few say that is the best option but it was too risky for me.

Great DIY man. Thanks.

Si ckWitIt · 12-30-2008, 03:33 PM

You could also break the w/p pulley bolts loose with the belt still on as the tension will hold it still. Is the NST w/p pulley oversized to prevent it from being underdriven?

akronmusician413 · 12-30-2008, 04:36 PM

check the site i think thats what they did

808TWFG1 · 01-04-2009, 07:40 AM
