Unless you have tons of car audio stuff, do the UDP. Trust me. Low-end gains + less A/C drain = win.
what does it have to do with audio stuff?
UDP runs the Alternator and stuff, if it's a smaller diameter than your audio stuff will be getting less power... I personally am going to go with a lightweight pulley set, stock diameter. I have a street car, I want it to be a street car.(drinks)

QFT. hondas really do rely on vtec to make power but its a great power indeed! the newer motors are even better. i remember my sentra had and still has no aftermarket support. that really is a big killer. you can do anything to a honda motor. its just insane.pulley,SS,intake, then corksport power series and youll be set
do not get a header if u get the corksport or a catless midpipe+CBE, it will sound like ass trust me lol
i have an UDP, SS, CAI, CBE and Header and i love my car for once now
i have a bunch of non performance mods but i didnt want to make a huge list lol
edit: ^^ u cant do that to a protege cuz there is no aftermarket support
and because they dont have vtec, u guys may make fun of it, but thats how all the hondas are making big power
2.4L k series honda motor=240hp N/A
2.4L TURBO dodge motor=240hp FI
2.3L TURBO Mazda motor= 263hp FI
i just think its crazy what honda does with there valve timing
ya i have 2 12" subs with a 2 farad cap and my headlights still dim when i turn it up. i need all the accessory power i can get
I'll never have more than an upgraded HU and speakers, and the low end is what I am really looking for, so that is on the list for sure.
yes that should help if it is lose. If it is already tight time to think of getting a new belt. If you tighten it too much it will snap.
QFT. People mod for many reasons...I personally mod because I like doing it, and it improves my car. I haven't done a mod that I have not regretted or needed. The header replaced a broken J-pipe, the inserts were necessary because my stock mounts were shot, and the ss and bushings vastly improved shifting when coupled with the weighted knob. The MP3 ecu I scored from a yard for $100 and the drivability of the car went way up. The intake was probably the only "selfish" mod. Probably $700 worth of mods, and when I get the $175 used Magnaflow Catback on, I'll probably call it a day (maybe a UDP also). In any case, I like my car customized myself, and that's the main reason I mod. A race car it ain't, but it's my car and I love it the way it is.
Yup that's what I have - Alpine HU and upgraded front speakers. And the stock spare tire sub. I haven't had any problems yet (except I have noticed slight headlight dim at idle when fogs + headlights are on).
As for gains off the udp, about 85% is due to the lighter weight and 15% is due to the decreased diameter. Holding the stock pulley and udp in both hands is like night and day.
I want to get the RR Racing UDP you have, but their website has shown it as out of stock for a while. Hopefully they'll start selling them again soon...
i have one id like to sell but my problem is id need a stock one to put on right when i take it off.
How would I tighten it?
If I could find a stock pulley I would send it to you for swap + $...if you find one and decide to sell yours, will you PM me?
"Fast" is a relative term. Race a SmartCar? Yes, the P5 is "fast". But pretty much try to race everything out there and we're screwed... (sadbanana)
