You need to do a full PCM reset with a scan tool, the in-car reset procedure is not enough

I installed mine this weekend. During the installation I had the battery fully disconnected, why I don't know. Once I took it out for a test drive it was fine until I redlined it got a cel I did the brake reset put the ignition to off then started her up and it went away I have redlined a few times since with no issues. Did you make sure the oil meter went half way? Also make sure that gear looking think behind the pulley is not wobbling. Good luck

When I tightened the screws for the pulley I set them at 20 FT/Ibs. 12 seemed to little, they did not snap or anything. Is this OK?

After I put my pulley on I got the CEL but the reset worked fine I also disconneted the battery. Every once and a while the CEL will flash with RPM's above 8k and this only started since the pulley but I love it and think it works great.

Just don't tighten it when the bolt is hot. I made the dumb mistake of doign this and shreded the bolt while tightening it.

i got the cell gone... i did the 20 brake pump after disconnecting it but the light stayed on.. drove around a little today and just vanished!

then it reset itself, the in-car method will not reset everything in the PCM

sometimes mine had the cell above the 8000mark also, I found that the triggerwheel was not in the right placement and it did this, adjusted it tightened down, and it went away

devildog1679

I guess I'm luck cause that's exactly what I did but luckily nothing bad happened. Next time I check they are still torqued properly I will wait until they cool. Thanx

devildog1679

Well I opened my mouth to soon. I decided to take them off and put thread lock. In the process of putting them back on I sripped 2 of them lukily one striped after it reached the proper torque. The second one stripped right before it reached full torque. Now I have three perfectly torqued bolts one of which is stripped and one that is somewhat torqued and also stripped. Do you think I'll be OK?

pulleys have been on for a few days. i deffinately think they help. driving my car in general feels so much better now. i feel like it accelerates to 4k faster (i shift at 4k for daily driving) might be in my head but oh well.. definately think this is a worthwhile mod. i would reccomend them. on top of that installing was not hard at all and was actaully fun. (cuz i dont work on my car much since im not car inclined..)

just installed mine and got the flashing cel and then solid cel when red lining. I'm going to do the full PCM Reset and see what happens.

last tank i got 12mpg.... and this tank i got 17.... could this be the ecu learning the pullies or something else? my driving did not change, and if so did not realatively change by 5mpg........

if you disconnected the battery or reset the ECU - it may account for the low mpg on the first tank.

My agency pulley arrived about an hour ago so decided to take some pictures and post them since everyone loves pictures ^.^ My apologies for poor image quality as it was taken with my camera phone.

Picture of everything that came in the box


Close up of pulley front and back



In case your wondering about the size of the pulley, a regular CD matches the top diameter perfectly.


Close up of the two belts that came with the pulley w/belt make and model info



and lastly the 4 hexagon bolts


Cant wait to get it bolted into the car, hope it works as great on the 6spd auto as it does on the MT.

Got mine yesterday. Tried installing it without a 5mm allen socket, and failed miserably. Once I had one, finished up easily. Had to do the full battery disconnect, but I just disconnected the negative terminal on the battery, put the key in the ignition, and set it to ON for a couple of seconds (obviously nothing happened), reconnected the battery and fired it up. The blinking CEL that i had from trying the pulley without reseting was gone. Went for a quick ride, and after no CEL, started paying attention to any gains. Noticed a little pickup between 3-6k RPM, nothing earth shattering, but noticeable. Not too shabby, worth the $150.

GTSimmo

Yeah I would have to say that the gains are between 3-6k, but the tach needle definitely goes up faster. Smooth idle, HID headlights works fine, AC sucks but then again always has hehe (the AC in my RSX was colder and had higher cfm), and stock radio works fine. After I got everything installed, did the steering wheel thing to reset the DSC system and tried to do the brake reset but failed, thought i was doing something wrong so came back to read the thread and just turned out I wasnt pumping the brakes fast enough. After a successful brake reset, took it out for another spin and the CEL went alway.

Definitely worth the $120 or so dollars and the arm full of small scratches from working in the tight confines of the engine.

Silver_Surfer

Sounds like everone likes the AP pulley. Anyone have the Unorthdox pulley?

FuzzeH

Does the unorthodox pulley set come with the same kind of pulley agency power sells?

staticlag

no, the pulley sets are different. The Agency Power is more underdriven, therefore giving you more effect. The general consensus is that only the Agency Power and the SpeedSource pullies work well.

FuzzeH

i tried doing a search and couldnt find any online retailers that sell the speedsource pulleys

jzrx8

just got my AP pulley from www.vividracing.com for like $160 shipped. Cheapest price around untill i noticed the group buy by khan motorsport but oh well. The pulley, belts, and hardware are very well made and look great.
