The cams won't do that.

bluecarbonfiber

cams changed my exhaust note on my old civic cause of the lobe difference but i guess with the i-vtec its different

Slow98teg

Cams won't make a motor sound like a subaru through the rpms. Bigger lobes will affect idle. Not as much on vtec motors because they don't run on the big lobes at idle. Changing the exhaust note sure. More airflow will definitely affect sound level.

[QUOTE=bluecarbonfiber;15568572]boost gauge barely moved cant wait to see more vids.. and btw no cares about the cowboys =)

I'm see only 6 psi currently. Haha, those cowboy's.....

bluecarbonfiber

so with seeing only 6 psi boost im guessing fuel economy is pretty good right now?

KenB350z

Hmmm, haven't even checked that. I'll look next time I hit the road.

KenB350z

Currently asking Hondata if they can make a disable option for our turbo actuator sensor.

KenB350z

First cake delivery with the A/C blasted! Funny how the RDX is still colder then the pilots.

KenB350z

Honda/Acura loving the RDX!

KenB350z

Took her out last night, car feels good. Might hit the track next week!

KenB350z

Nice boost weather!

andrewbenjack

You have to lower that thing Ken. It's so high

Tomtwtwtw

Bad boost traffic.

KenB350z

Maybe that is a funny angle, but the front is lowered 1.75" and the rear is lowered .25".

KenB350z

Looks like I still have a week before I can run at the track. I will have to find some guys to run with me at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit also.

bluecarbonfiber

is your tuning pretty much done?

KenB350z

No, I don't think Vit is comfortable with continuing my tune until I get the (electrical/voltage) issue fix. I took it to Honda and this is what they found. Now, they said this could be from the O2 not being closer to the turbo exhaust and/ or the actuator not being able to function. The current tune that is on it now, feels good though. At only 6-7psi, I'm sure the turbo is like "please....." It's got tons left..

bluecarbonfiber

sounds like you need to make a week trip to hondata =)

KenB350z

Ok, just disabled the ELD. I'll see if my voltage goes up and the Jitters stop.

KenB350z

I think you're right! And while I'm there, I should drop by Seibon for some sweet carbon fiber parts..

KenB350z

Just received an updated tune from Vit, he will try and work with me.

(still having voltage issues..)

bluecarbonfiber

seibon makes decent stuff.. better than 80% of whats out there

KenB350z

Just uploaded the latest tune, wow didn't know this thing would have that kind of low torque with this longer/larger turbo manifold.

KenB350z

Would be nice to get it up there for them.

KenB350z

I will be a bit busy this weekend. Transmission cooler install and spark plug replacement. Acura did mention that I should consider a differential cooler also with that super stiff CF Driveshaft.

KenB350z

This cooler should do the trick.

KenB350z

As I took the stock cooler off I wanted to see the fluid and it was purple and I forgot that I did a royal purple ATF flush a while back glad I checked.

KenB350z

Taking them in first thing in the morning to get some brackets made. <br/><br/>Stock: 75lbs<br/>Seibon: 19lbs w/o brackets.

bluecarbonfiber

yuck both seats weigh that much? or just the driver since it has the electric adjustments?

Tomtwtwtw

Hey, you might actually gain some under-seat storage utility from switching out. Bonus!

KenB350z

I think the passenger is a little lighter then the driver. I'll have to weight it when I pull it out.

KenB350z

Passenger seat: 60lbs

Rear seats: 69lbs

Slow98teg

Good to know. That's a tenth off the ET. At the end of the season I'll probably make one pass with the seats removed.

KenB350z

Good luck! Not sure where I will stand on the 1/4 mile line, considering the heavier turbo manifold, turbo, and the HUGE front & rear gucci brakes. But, those 20's tho....

bluecarbonfiber

I thought you were running 19s not 20s? you change back?

crxtype-r

pics of the trans cooler install . that FMIC looks huge . good stuff. keep it up

KenB350z

Nah, the mirror finish TSW's were 19" and the matte's are 20". Do you remember that pic from 7-11 when I had the mirror finish wheels and the matte black ones on at the same time? Those were 19" up front and 20" in the rear.

KenB350z

I see her often when I'm going to work and going home from work. Sometimes with her husband riding with. I passed them once in the morning last week with the beast. He looked! Not sure if they are very big gear heads though...

KenB350z

Just talked with Seibon

Carbon fiber Hood, minimum 40 units
Carbon fiber Hatch, minimum 40 units

Now, they said if we can get at least 50% down then we are good. I'm down! Who is in?!

crxtype-r

put me down , all in !
