A sweet polished catch can showed up today, it's so nice looking.

I'm catching a bit of a bug thanks to the kids in school, after I'm feeling good again, I can take pics.

The plan is to go get my car emission tested for the next two years, then I'm going to drop it off for the work to be performed. Hopefully I'll be out of town while the work is all handled.

Ahhh its a knife to the heart Optimus

Lol J/K of course! I can't wait to see both setups!!

UTAH TSX

I think I will just use my antifreeze bottle setup until Jo gets his project done cant afford to buy one for a while anyway

TSXmace

...can't argue with what already works...

optimusaccord

When the one you create becomes available, I'd be happy to pick one up. Perhaps with a sweet mounting kit for the tsx engine bay.....

ssjoeboe9

You got it!! I'll try my best to make a mounting bracket specifically for our cars. I can't promise but I might be able to convince our sponsor that it would be worth it to make multiple mounting brackets for different platforms.

I'm holding the first 3D printed prototype in my hand right now! I would show pictures but its against our NDA we had to sign. Don't worry though I'm gunna hook y'all up.

optimusaccord

Don't get into trouble or anything. I just need to make sure my bases are covered so as soon as everything is ready to install, I don't want to be holding up.

I'm getting pressured enough to have this installed and give feedback.

I am trying, waiting for my parts supplier to come through. 2 parts have showed up.

UTAH TSX

What one do you think is stronger Brian crower rods Wiesco pistons VS stock
(notice how the stock rod is bent that was a close one)

TSXmace

Crower rods can most definitely handle 500+ hp...my

axionindustries

Glad you like it... Post up a pic

ssjoeboe9

Wow, you guys weld every single can? That seems extremely time consuming.

Chiko

Haha WOW Utah - came awfully close to adding a new inspection hole in the side of the block right there

optimusaccord

Stock rod looks sad....

UTAH TSX

The 9th gen civic guys have the exact same engine internals and 400 plus WHP on stock with no problems

optimusaccord

Sweet. I was talking to axion, in a year or so after I recoup the cost of the turbo (save back up) bigger brakes, and I want a spare head, to have it professionally opened up and run similar valve train to what you are using.

axionindustries

I would say that shit could also not be helped by the extra 600 lbs on the tsx over the civic but his blew on the dyno...

UTAH TSX

Axion can you get me ACL race bearings and ship them to me by (BY NEXT THURSDAY AT THE LATEST) if I order them tomorrow ????, I need rod+crank+thrust bearings in standard size,

axionindustries

Let me see if I can get a price on them and ill let ya know follow us on Facebook and you can PM Axion Ind

UTAH TSX

Short block is together, tomorrow I will have it all together and put it back in my car on saturday, yeah finally

TSXmace

I hope your work will trickle up to my '12 TSX. I bet you can't wait to get off of riding your bike...

When i heard that BOV, wow... wish my car was Turbo'd rather than SC'd! =(

UTAH TSX

Motor is done taking it home to drop in

Yasser22

Getting excited!

UTAH TSX

Motor is in took if for a spin (no muffler just 3in pipe sounds wicked can hear the turbo spooling) not boosting it breaking it in, tomorrow I will get the AEM wideband failsafe and exhaust temp failsafe gauges finished, going to drive it at the 350 WHP level for a bit before I get back on the dyno, will post some pictures soon

musty hustla

How about some vids? It's amazing how quickly you got back up and running.

optimusaccord

Oh, sweet sweet boxes of parts just showed up. Boxes and boxes and boxes of beautiful beautiful toys....

UTAH TSX

Merry christmas

musty hustla

any updates?

UTAH TSX

Tuning it with Vit Viper right now I will be posting up some videos when I get done cant do much just been breaking in the engine and holding off on the boost

UTAH TSX

Some insight on the EFR 7670 that is in the kit I made for optimus
http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=121450
can't wait until you get it installed

The tune with vitviper is going good my car is a beast now no more revving the crap out of it to get going it has so much torque it lights up the tires at will in first and second with the VSA off haven't got to third gear full throttle tune yet still on low boost 9-10 PSI

optimusaccord

Awesome information man.

I just need to order the hump hoses, the few misc. parts you sent me in the email, the gold FW matting, and then the heat wrap.

I'm going to hold off on the turbo blanket initially to see if the ceramic coating is enough, if not, I will order one and have it put on. I don't drive my car a huge amount, so I should be o.k. for a few days.

I am going to have mine locally tuned, and after that is all ironed out, I'll log and work with vit viper also to flesh out the whole power band, kind of what you are doing.

I am really excited, as the boxes in my basement have gotten close to out of control.

UTAH TSX

I would recommend getting a base map with vit, after my experience with starting from nothing and my tuner has over 15 years experience but not like vit has with flashpro and the k series engines it cost me 3k and put me 2 months behind on this whole project.

optimusaccord

Sounds reasonable.

Does he have a website? Or how do you reach out to him to get the ball rolling on this?

Dang I'm so excite!!!

7 more months till graduation!!

UTAH TSX

Just loaded my 10th map from vitviper feeling good smooth and clean, I drive it and do a wide open throttle pull then send him the data logs and he adjusts them and sends me the new calibrations and we do it again, there's this old man who has been sitting on his porch right were I do the wide open throttle he freaking hates me waiting for him show up on his porch with a shotgun and let me have it, my car is quite loud I have 3in to a flowmaster 2 chamber muffler (I'm going to add a resonator and another muffler as soon as I can afford it)

axionindustries

Vit is the man....

UTAH TSX

VitViper display we are getting there we did 7500 RPM pulls last night feeling good, I think I will stop at 8500 RPM

UTAH TSX
