Look what I got today









Here is a picture to show the size of the 355mm rotor in relation to a 16" wheel

 

Are those CF rotors??

 

you are Loaded... where do you work... it looks like a store front in the back round? get any good deals

 

Please post your 0-100-0 time when done.

 

sweet

 

They dont show these as being available for the TSX

Very sweet!

 

isn't he sponsered????

:ib4tehjdmwhores:

 

they were just released recently

 

Actually they have been availible in Japan for the CL9 Accord Euro R. I am just the first to bring them into the U.S.

 

Wow! Looks awesome

What is the silver thing in the top right part of your engine bay pic?
You have it connected to hoses that go from it to the intake, and to the valve cover.

 

Thanks guys I appreciate everyones comments

Joerockt: The rotor have a cast iron surface

Acuratsxms: I work at Desmond Performance

Jlukja: That would be interesting

Jmathew34: I am not sponsered

TSX536: That is an oil catch tank made by Carbing

 

no 5AT dipstick...that's gonna one sick TSX with those toys!!

 

why did you change from the Rotoras?

 

Nice toys! Btw, just curious why connecting the catch can in boost only mode?

 

Acuratsxms: I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get the PMU kit it is far superior to the Rotora kit and it is currently the only one in the U.S. on a TSX.

JTso: After seeing the inside of the factory intake manifold when replacing it with the new one for the supercharger i noticed the oil build up in there and decided to install the oil catch tank to reduce the amount of build up that would occur in the new supercharged setup.

 

I know exactly what you mean with the oil in the intake manifold. May I suggest re-routing the hoses to the PCV valve for better results during off boost driving condition?

 

Damn !!!! So Beautiful ... BBK

Project Mu...i love those. I know a guy in Hong Kong who's running those....pads

I got a friend here who has the Mu pads on his Prelude, amazing stopping power!! and they look super nice too...congratz dude~

 

Calipers and discs are nice! What is the overall diameter when you have the caliper and disc installed? I think you would need 18 or 19" to have enough clearance. is that right?

 

Nice!!! I'm really looking forward to pics very soon!!!!

 

u got deep pocket dude.....haha
nice mod

 

The quality of each component of this break kit is impressive. The calipers are huge! The width of the caliper measured around 6 1/4" However they are very lightweight due to their forged construction. I will post more pictures as soon as I get them on the car.

 

That's Forged Caliper must cost you @ least $3000US ? I guess

 

2600 Usd!

 

pretty sick man

 

Damn, that must be nice to have $$$ and spend a expensive mods.

 

just the caliper along?.......wtf
crazy

 

hey racinghartacura, i think i saw your car in honda tuning before, right???

 

Yeah my car had a feature in the September 05 issue of Honda Tuning, it was also the cover car for the January 06 issue of S3 magazine.

 

Can you get us a mass comparison of the rotors when you install them?

I was going to ask about this too. The valve cover doesn't see pressure unless the IM is under boost, whereas normally the crankcase is always under a little pressure from blowby gases. Am I right?

 

Normally, the vacuum in the intake manifold opens up the PCV valve and sucks/vents the blowby gases and oil vapor from the crankcase and routes it to the combustion camber to burn (the main reason for this emission device). The hose in the valve cover is the inlet of fresh air for this closed loop PCV system.

When the engine is under boost or WOT, the PCV valve is non-functional. The blowby gases and crankcase pressure will need to vent to the next least restricted path. Under this condition, the crankcase pressure would travel up to the valve cover via the oil galleys that connects the block and the head, then vents to the hose that connects to the intake tube with the aid of vacuum from the TB.

 

So the Valve cover inlet acts takes air in when the PCV is open, and pushes air out during WOT/Boost?

I see a lot of turbo'd cars simply put a mini filter on the valve cover port rather than a catch going to the intake. I would think this method isn't aided by the vacuum of the intake, is it better or worse this way (environment aside)?

 

They used the mini filter because the TB is pressurized with a turbo setup. Some people actually run an "open" setup (no PCV). They replace the PCV valve with a fitting and route the hose from this fitting to a catch can with a filter on top. Then route the hose from the valve cover to the other side of the catch can. This allows the venting of crankcase pressure all the time. However, bad for the environment and will never pass emission inspection. The oil will get dirtier quicker with an open system. I prefer the closed system.

 

That's nothing. Try finding parts for my car.....

Kit looks awesome. Post some pics with them mounted.

Oh and BTW, I really don't like the front end you have on your car, but to each their own.

Yeah M3 upgrades aren't cheap, E46 M3 is a great car, fun to drive I'm sure you're having fun with it. Have you done anything to it yet?

 

so how much is the total kit cost.....5k?

 

MSRP on the kit is $2900.

 

Ya. Pro kit springs, SSR wheels, tint, Intake, chip and some other bolt on's.

Bump! pics!pics!
