UDP, is it worth it?

This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...

I dont see why you couldnt have a stereo. if you have a crazy huge system then thats another story, so i suppose it depends on what u have. u might need an extra battery or something, im sure someone here has a straight answer for u, theres several dudes runnin big audio junk.

I only have one 12 and highs amped. So i dont think it will affect it that much but i dont want to chance it.

I think you should be fine, since you dont have alot running.

I have one TREO SSX 12", Polk speakers, and 2 Bostwick amps w/ an optima red top, extra battery, and custom high output alternator, so I know I will probably never run a UDP w/out an ODP.

Just incase you have any problems you could get an Adam K ODP pulley for your alternator. The ODP is a smaller pulley for the alternator which will keep the alternator spinning at the same speed or close to it.

does the odp have any performance gains or is it just a good idea to keep the alternator happy? doesnt ANY reduction in reciprocating mass help?

does the UDP affect the A/C? when i had my UDP oin the skunk, my A/C didnt work, so i had taken it out before the UDP went on. but i've heard rumors about the UDP casuing the A/C to not be as cold, any input would be cool, cuz i kinda want a UDP for the new car

I've had mine on for 2 years or so and don't have any problem with the A/C putting out cool air.


Also... no the ODP doesn't have any performance gains other than to help with charging.

^due to the fact that its not part of the normal driveline? isnt the ODP just for the ACC?

No issues here with the air conditioner, nor have I ever heard of it being a problem. Your a/c compressore might have to cycle more with the a/c running, but probably not even enough to notice.
