After going back to NA, I took my money and purchased new bolt ons. This time, however, i bought SS headers from Megan and had them ceramic coated Top the intake charge off with a 3 inch dia cai with Green performance filter. New iridium plugs .4 mm (13 each !!! ) and fresh injectors
BTW ceramic coating makes a HUGE difference on my car. The headers stay hotter when running and cool MUCH faster when off. I noticed more punch after they coated them and my new plugs were installed. I think the headers are a lil different than the obx i had a while back. The bends are softer and the ports looked alot wider and smoother. The collector was dual channeled as well and the welds were alot tighter and precise. THen i raced a maxima ( see street incounters )

 

treat'r right and she'll treat you just right too...

 

i wish my engine bay looked that complete.

 

you have an engine bay?

speaking of which, whats the good word with your engine lately

 

well, technically it's a black hole.

nothing yet. im waiting for my new turbo to come in. when it comes in i'll see what i can do to speed up the process. im in the works of getting a larger intercooler.

-----------------------------------

btw ayugo, i thought you were turbo'd?

 

An empty one?

 

swap an h22 head and get itb's

 

let me know how you like those megans. Im contemplating btwn megan SS and obx SS headers

 

ceramic, yummy =)

 

putting an h22 in it would slow me down mang, i produce more whp than an h series and more tq

 

dohc dohc dohc

 

Did you ever had it dynoed? Want to see the numbers.

 

i think he dynoed at like 192 WHP or somethn like that

 

i wish 187.4 but i cant do shit in Texas climate. I cant wait till cocoa gets here, he'll know right away that high humidity and 100 wheather blows I was turbo'ed, but improperly. My bottom AC brackets and pump were getting in the way and there arent any shops around here that can help me out, ( next to driving to Dallas or Houston, which i couldnt do because of my situation ) I also couldnt get the manifold to line up and the spindel housing hit my front fans Then, i had no $ for fuel managment so i said fuck it, sold it and bought some NA goodies. Now all i got to do is get my new Tranny ( m2s4/H23 tranny and aftermarket fly,pressure plate and 6 puck ) Its said that just the tranny swap alone hits you up with .5-.6 off a stock 5th gen accords 1/4 !!! Its geared much much better and street drivability is alot funner and potent

 

the h22 tranny is geared even more for teh 1/4 the h23 is a loaner tranny somwehrer in the middle...


looks like an EBAY INTAKE.. WOOOOTTTTT LOOKS LIKE MINE!!



and what the hell are you talking about na.. you never had a turbo on your car

 

? your kidding right ? I spent countless hours and hords of $ for my turbo dilema's, i had every reason to rid her of it.

 

and yes !! I orderd my cai piping off ebay for a 96 lude to get a 3 inch dia ( and it was a bitch finding the right one most are 2.5 ) Why spend 300 on Injen when the piping on these are the EXACT same material and dimensions. Its the filter on the intake that counts anyways. Green performance only. ( larger than the largest K&N cone

 

I zoomed in on some of the basic problems i had. I painted numbers so you knew which issue im reffering to and enlarged the pic, although some go past what you can see in the pic.

1 theres some contact with one of the bolts touching the pipe 2 Ac clearance issues ( you cannot see the bracket its lodged in there much farther 3 I broke a bolt getting the dam dsm mani on and had to die it out

 

ahhh, you shouldnt have ghetto rigged it with the dsm mani.

 

well turbonics gives you this shitty log style mani that has horible waste position on only one runner. This is almost in the middle and fit much much better. well all that shits over with now, i guess ill be following in shineys foot steps doing some crazy wet n20 shit now. ...........but then again, i just bought iridium plugs at 13 each and there too hot so i would have wasted some 60 dollars

 

lol, every one for a acura cl or honda accord is 3 inch...

you wasted a lot of time trying to find the 'right one'


i cant imagine what your search of turbo info was like... turbo + manifold = ??? oh wait lets start over again.. etc etc lol

 

should have gotten the header in ceramic anyways. i have a DC sports ceramic and it looks sick. btw does anyone have PCV breather filters for there cars. like those universal ones?? im looking to accesorize my engine bay just a little.

 

your insane man. And your also terribly wrong. Most "ebay" intakes are 2.5 inches or 2.75 not 3
