lol why? They are eBay parts I dont have pics of the Eibachs or the Progress RSB on hand. I may, just gotta search. Dont really feel like it tho, ya know? The Bosch boost gauge is numbered so now I know how much boost Im hitting if that helps...
Oh I believe you I have a thread because I think it's cool to compare modifications. If you don't want to post any photos don't worry about it. The intake and the blow off valve look great for eBay ones. The valve cover looks pained red that's awesome!

thanks. Im just kidding man lol.
I really dont see much of a difference other than the car does build boost a little faster but even still, its drops off so fast, it barely counts. In Sport mode, it definitely makes a difference but not much. I tried running the BOV open atmosphere but the ECU doesnt like that. Keeps going into Limp mode. So added the recirc cap and all was well. The intake was chrome, I ceramic coated it black.
the hose was way to short and was rotting anyway. Yes the Vac adapter was from P2R.
14 psi is peak but doesn't last to even count lol
Also had to change hoses for the coolant lines. Those were too short.
Yeah, that’s what I figured, no hope in getting the stock hose to work. Ah well. My coolant hoses are bypassed, so I’m good there.
I have a J-series throttle body, P2R adaptor, and ported intake manifold that’s been sitting on a shelf in my basement for too long. I’ve been too lazy to install because I bought an 8th gen Si as a track car and it’s been consuming all of my free time. One of my concerns since the P2R adaptor points straight up was clearing the intercooler. I’m thrilled to see that’s not an issue.
Sorry, when I said brake boosting, I meant from a stop, not a roll. With the stock throttle body, when you foot brake a launch, there’s a safety feature that only allows the throttle body to partially open, so you can only build about 3psi. Caleb (another member who has long since sold his RDX and I think still holds the ¼ record) put a J series throttle body on in hopes of building more boost while foot braking and I believe he said he saw 6psi, but I’m not sure if he was guessing based on the factory gauge or data logged it from Hondata. Probably the latter knowing him, but I can’t remember. Either way, he was able to drop down to a 1.8 60 foot from I think low 2s. The car boggs when only launching off of 3psi. Since you have a real boost gauge, just curious if you had tried it out to see a difference.

No I havent tried it, now that you said it, I want to now...
Mr. Hammond.
I just went out and tested. At a 3500rpm launch brake boosted, saw boost build to about 7-8psi.
Now go ahead and install that stuff and post up. I was thinking of getting another intake manifold and having it ported to match my J35 throttle body.

Nice! Thanks man, I appreciate that. You should definitely score a spare manifold. They’re dirt cheap. I bought one off eBay because it was the same price as a salvage yard and I didn’t have to pull it myself.
That video might just be the motivation I need to finally install it. J35 throttle body with P2R adaptor, port matched intake manifold and throttle body gasket, Hondata gasket, and extended studs from King Motorsports. Derek at IMW has been waiting to return for eons.

No problem. Will do. I'll get one in the next month or so. My wife isnt gonna like this. But Im getting an MDX this year hopefully...
Will looping the coolant lines hurt anything? I was thinking of blocking off the coolant lines on my TB also.
Awesome thread hopefully there will be a write op so others can attempt this job too
Write-up on Tire Letters? That is a tedious process lol. I checked it our youtube.
But, you basically clean your tires until no more dirt can be rubbed off using acetone.
using the supplied sand paper, scuff the area where you'll be laying the tire letters. Not too much, just scuff it to help the glue seat.
Using the adhesive paper, lay the lettering face down and make sure your spelling and position is properly done. Mine is a little crooked, and I tried SUPER hard lol but its not too bad.
Apply glue to your lettering. Try not to use too much to avoid gooping. Let the glue sit for about 1 minute to make the glue get more tacky. Trust me, it works WAY better than sticking the letters with fresh glue. Less gooping and leaking.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR POSITIONING IS SPOT ON. IT IS SO MUCH WORK TO REMOVE THE LETTERS AND CLEAN THAT GLUE UP. SAME PROCESS ON ALL TIRES.
