maybe they'll use it later for something else ? that's why many companies register a few to use as different divisions ... racing might be one of them?

 

Don't get me wrong. I like the pulley. I have one sitting here that I haven't installed yet.

I was just pointing out that the link went nowhere. What I suspect though is that there is no Mythelogy Racing Team (you know established, with cars that they race professionally). If there is then where? They make a cool pulley. Mythelogy does that is. What else do they have?

You may be right and they may have been planning ahead.

On the other hand if there really is no Mythelogy Racing Team then it's misleading in that it's mention on the ad alone is designed to lead people to believe the product was designed by by a Professional Racing Team.

Hate it, but I pay attention to details like that. Bet I wasn't the only one to try the web address before it was redirected.

 

you guys must be interested more in page redirects than mpg ehh?

 

So I got my Mythelogy pulley last Thursday and installed it half an hour later and I am slightly concerned about a few things.
1. There are no timing marks on my pulley.
2. There are no indications that the pulley was balanced. (If you look at the stock pulley you will more than likely see a dimple or 2 or 3. These are to balance the pulley, because the L15 is internally balanced just like every other Honda engine and the pulley has to be balanced otherwise it will throw off the balanced engine).
3. The rubber portion of the pulley, which is supposed to do the dampening, does not go all the way through the pulley like the factory pulley (and every other "dampener pulley" that any other automobile uses). Other than those 3 concerns the pulley is pretty nice.
It is definately lighter and installation was a breeze. I have a MT and I did notice the engine to be a little more rev happy. I cannot tell you what kind of impact it has on my gas mileage yet, it is currently at the bodyshop getting the front bumper and lip replaced (I hit a racoon , it was more of a small dog than a racoon ).
I typically get around 35 mpg. I can get 39 mpg if I keep my lead foot tame. I will inform you guys if there is any mpg increase after a couple of fill-ups. But I don't know how much longer I will keep the pulley on if it is not balanced.

 

the pulley is made from a billet aluminum block which is balanced already. any unbalanced peices are scrapped. The stock pulley has the dimples because it was not balanced to begin with. As for the timing marks i don't know.

 

Nah, but we'll take both. Since no one has chimed in with an answer to the mpg question we could postulate the possible pros and cons that might effect mpg j/k.

I'll let you know when I find out if no one else does.

 

alright thnks

 

You're welcome. I suspect that it will help the mpg a little in city driving. The main improvement will be faster response and low rpm torque that will make the car feel more peppy. For those reasons any increase in mpg would be most noticable in city driving.

IMO anyway.

Have to wait and see. I'll most likely install mine this weekend.

Got mine! Will be installed this weekend by "gettinafit", hopefully I'll have a nice pic or two to show you guys of the installation.

 

hey wave how did it go? notice anything different

here's a pic of mine

 

Mine was installed yesterday. I guess my butt-dyno isn't as fine tuned as everyone else's because I couldn't really tell much of a difference. Maybe I need some more road time with it...

 

you should notice a real difference in 1st gear. getting started to max rpm was very fast IMO. i also think having the pulley installed with other mods like I/H/E will benefit even more because it should get the rpm's up quicker to where the other performane mods have the most benefit.

 

Wave's got I/H/E and Pulley! Update as of yesterday is that the mods or working themselves in and noticeable now! "great" he says! Speak up Wave!

 

I just had to take a road trip from Long Island to Giant's Stadium and back yesterday(Jets vs. Bears) to see if it works.

My car does rev really quickly now. Holding the stock pulley in my hand I was pretty shocked at the weight difference of the mythelogy pulley. Wish I could dyno my car but oh well...

I/H/E - definitely an improvement in my AT Sport! Midrange the car does pull better than before and going up those inclines that used to make the auto downshift, it just stays now!

Next up, I plan on doing a "home depot" Ram Air to feed that SRI...

 

yes... its best to combine a few parts to gain best outcome. each mod has its own part in the final output and performance.

 

anyone compared FC yet?

 

i just ordered the myth pulley from jimmy101, i hope to get it real soon.
and i hope it works with my intake and my exhaust

 

Cool! Do you have M/T or A/T? What intake and exhaust did you get?

 

Duh moment for me:

FC = ???
