Hopes and dreams just got crushed a little, just checked their website and it shows no UR pulley kit for the fit

Call UR directly. I'm pretty sure it's still available but they also don't list it on their own site.

Can't find a phone # on there website so I just sent them an email.

Update: got a response from UR they said this is the link for the kit Pulley Set & Belt however 349+shipping is way more than I was hoping to spend :/

That part number says it also works 2with older B series motors and some K series motors.

I would not trust it and you should halt order and speak to a UR rep. That is my recommendation

Hey guys, I have a stock fit except for cargo rack on top. lol I know that bolt on parts will not benefit unless I get the ecu flash. i do not want to spend a ton but I am interested in the pulleys does it make the fit a little more resposnsive?

JoeF- you will definitely see some improvement with bolt on parts however usually its not enough for the butt-dyno to register.

Before the pulleys were installed on my fit I was averaging about a 9.1-9.0 second 0-60 time depending on traction and horrible wheel hop. Seriously its horrible. This was using a scangauge 2 to record the time and the intake air temperature was averaging 58-60°

After I installed the UR pulley kit in the beginning of January I was consistently running a 8.6 0-60 time with intake air temps averaging 66-68°.

The car did feel a bit faster to me but I wasn't sure how fast until I did a few 0-60 runs. Did it make it more responsive? Maybe, for responsiveness you need a blitz throttle controller.

In my opinion, throttle controller is not worth it, and my GE hit 16.2 in teh quarter mile with just lighter rims, no cats, and a custom intake, while running 93 octane and colder spark plugs, and on a ffresh valve lash adjustment

If I could, I'd install lightweight pulleys on every car I own. I used to be about underdriven pulleys but if your car uses extra electricity or is older and it's electrical system is weaker than new, an underdrive pulley may not charge enough.

At any rate, I love these things. Throttle response has always been better. 1/4 mile times has always improved, even if slightly. It's hard to feel since the power delivery is throughout the whole powerband. They just work!

Any rotating mass that I can make lighter, smaller diameter or both I go nuts for.

As for throttle controller, I have a Sprintbooster on my RAV4 and it makes the car so much more fun to drive. I'd get one for any car I own if they have one available.

I can agree that to some people spending more than 300$ on a Throttle controller may be a bit much but the responsiveness is undeniable and I was able to pick up my blitz throttle controller for only 100$ from a fellow fitfreak.

The UR pulley kit is a great upgrade that made measurable improvements and I would definitely purchase it again!

the reaction time between full throttle stock and full throttle with controller is exactly the same. Part throttle is the only means of improvement. To ME, still not worth even $20.

Hell yeah on lightweight. But dont forget ceramic bearings severely outdo lightweight. Ceramic bearings inside alternator, and belt tensioners (in past) netted around 4-5 horsepower in upper rpms. a newer mustang saw 10 or 15 rwhp from just ceramic rear wheel bearings

I've read briefly about ceramic bearings some time ago. The cost was way up there though. Are you going to do this and report your findings? I've never read of anyone doing this in the import community. Only talk about doing it. Lots and lots of talk about doing it.

Here's a place to start --> Ceramic Wheel Bearings Honda

Sorry to go off topic slightly. Back to the regularly scheduled show.....
