i know this has been talked about a million times i just want to bring it up one more time. i have the money to order an UR UDP today. should i get it or not? is it or is it not harmful to the engine? i have a 97 5spd with the regular bolt ons. need some light on this subject.

 

I was reading about this on maximadriver.com and it seems to be safe. From everything I read there there really isn't anything to worry about if it's installed correctly. I believe you can find the article in the HOW2 section. Hope this helps you make a decision.

 

I just installed mine. After the research I did in it, the one (SUPER S) they make for our car doesn't seem like the troublesome kind. I would only worry with a supercharger, supposedly. The sets of pulleys that are much smaller/lighter sometimes can cause problems, but the super S seems good.

 

I'll assume you guys have shopped around and have found the best price. I was thinking about getting one as well. Can you tell me where you bought/will be buying the UPD and the price? Thanks so much.

 

I have had mine on for 2 years and 50K miles and I haven't experienced any problems.

 

i havent heard any horror stories so i will order mine soon. ptatohed i am ordering mine from a local import shop where i live.

 

how about performance.... what do you guys think?

 

That's what I'm wondering.

I've heard mixed reviews. Some say you can really feel it, and some say it's barely, if at all noticable.

Like to hear other opinions.

 

Acceleration seems to be improved on mine.

 

The Blue, how did you fabricate that gauge panel?

I just ordered my NOS Press. Gauge, A/F gauge, and EGT gauge, altho I think I could do without the EGT and go with an OIL press. gauge. A Dual Gauge pod is on the way, but I would hate to drill a hole in the pillar.


Let me know how you did that, and the materials, you used.

 

dude your gauges are so phat!

 

his gum is better!

As for performance, I've only had it on like a day, lol, but the powerband is wider, acceleration is much more responsive (YES!), and the car feels fine. Make sure you have a good tension on the belts though lol...mine were a little loose after a night in the rain. Had to tighten them a little. There are several excellent write-ups on how to install them. I will be writing up mine in a few days as well...with a few pictures.

 

I felt no increas in power.Should have saved money for Sc.

 

You didn't feel better acceleration?
