Just installed my Venom 400 :P

Definitely feel more of a pull and I think the ride is actually smoother now that VTEC lag is gone. I'm not sure what VXCL was talking about it not being good for daily driving cause its sooo much nicer now. Mabey its cause my Venom 400 says "V 2.0" on it

I'll get pics up soon. Smoked my friend's Monte Carlo on the way back...DEFINITELY helps.

I'll get pics up after I get back to college.

 

Did you get yours from customrim? I was looking for the best deal on one.

 

Glad you like it.

Where did you mount "the box"?

I used to have mine mounted under the hood, near the master cylinder. Today I moved it inside and put it in the glove box.

I noticed that as my master cylinder became hot, the Venom's performance became more erratic. I figured that having it inside would eliminate any heat problems.

Edit: I keep mine on 24/7.

 

Yo, what is a Venom and what do it do? Hell, you might as well tell me how much it costs and how hards it is to install to cuz once you tell me what it is I prob will want it. By the way, I got a 97 2.2 if that makes a diff.........Go for it now.

after reading all these post about the Venom 400 makes me wanna go out and BUY one right now...

 

vafc..

 

On apexi's web site they it will lag at 5000 rpms on an accord engine and it wont work on SOHC. I have noticed some people putting them on, but we only have one cam. They look cooler

 

i looked at that site and said it wasnt a PROM, b/c PROMs are high rmps while this is mid-range, where can i get a PROM???

 

Buy a Corvette, My vette that I sold you could hook up a laptop and change the main program. You could edit everything the car did from amount of fuel pressure to shift points and how hard it shifted. You have an Acura CL and a laptop doesn't work for that. So we get Apexi VAFC and Venom 400's.

 

Ohhhh..........huh........oh ye, I didnt buy a corvette from you

 

Heh I believe he meant..."Buy a Corvette, My vette that I sold, you could hook up a laptop"

CL'S

 

first off i'm sorry you had an automatic corvette, i was unaware they madem but i'm not hip on muscle.. but secondly.. you can use a Digital Fuel Injection unit on almost any car, and hook a laptop up to it and change the fuel maps, vtec, boost, ignition.. and monitor everything from your mph to your oil pressure.. AEM, Wolf3d, Hondata, are just a few makers of these DFI unit's..

 

So how long does it take to hook up and are there other mods i should do befor gettin the Venom 400?
and if Im lookin at an ZEX kit, will they effect each other in a bad way, or will they work well together??

 

I had a 3000 stall torque converter, so I could get a hole shot on the 6 speeds. The auto did suck in that kind of car. Amyway how much for a DFI. I am slowly learning on all this forgien stuff. I do know I need an H22A, but that will have to wait.

 

Here she is:

 

Nice

 

how hard was it to wire it in glow box ? do you need any extras ?

 

No extras need (beyond extra wire length).

It's not actually fastened in the glove box. It's just feely lying in there. I may permanently mount it in the storage compartment between the front seats, but for now, it's in the glove box.

 

between the front seats would look nice man or even in the cupholder......

 

i think i'm gonna mount mine where my breathilizer is mounted now lol

 

hey man ! r u getting one too ?

 

I mounted mine right next to the Cold Air Intake, on the side wall. They "recommend" you mount it under the hood. I had originally planned to put it inside the car and have the red light attatchment hook up next to the unused box next to the hazard lights...But I got lazy :P

Didn't really care for messing with wire extensions and drilling and whatever...So I just hooked it all up under the hood. Took me 15 mins, MAX. I love those spade connectors that allow you to just plug right into the wires without splicing.

I got to try the Venom out again today. I feel bad for that riced out civic. After I switched to 2nd gear it seemed like he was standing still.

Now to install those damned guage pods.



Oh yea...almost forgot. I got the unit at customrim.com for $270.00 and free shipping. Amazing price, can't find anyone who can beat that.

 

maaaaaaaan i hope i can feel as much difference on my 2.2 as you feel on yours 3.0 .....................

 

The more mods, the more difference the Venom will make. Might want to take that into consideration.

 

Performance-wise i have intake and rest is stock ........ 1 less from what you have .........

 

Finally got pics

 

Wire Hook Up...

 

**opps**

 

I figure I'd throw this in here while I'm at it...

My other toys

 

Looks like you have a little cleaning up to do. Yea I do like the Kawasaki.
