Wow! Great work, glad you decided to post it.

Really like what you did with the motor, performance must be nuts!. The engine bay looks clean and complements the rest of your build. Paint color is nice too, is that an home depot front lip spoiler? it came out good.
I say for you a Red RL BBK is a must.

Nice build! can you give more detail on the mdx fuel rail and injectors. i'd be interested in getting the injectors in my car without having to modify the actual injector.

Nice. One other suggestion? Maybe trim the rear bumper exhaust cutouts and make the quad tips fit better?

Your updates look good.
3.5 with 100 shot must run pretty good. I just re installed my zex kit today.
Why is your zex box so skinny ?

Uni-Chip tuned...Yikes. I have very little knowledge about running the Unichip with NOS, but I would not run that tuning solution with your set up.


Also, were you able to achieve the correct AFR with it? if so, what AFR are you pulling on the high end? with and without NOS.

Wheelman- honestly it runs great with the unichip, as good as my turbo j30 did with e-manage (with mild tuning). I used a friends wide band to check it at the first of summer and I can't remember the exact ratio but it was safe .

Richardparker- yeah she is a beast. And the zex box being skinny? No idea but its what came with the kit and its a wet kit so no idea..

Gnuts- as far as I can remember all my friend did was mod the injector and used a new/different O ring...



Zeta- had one and broke it after 3 weeks at the strip, sent it back got a refund and I'm now working on getting solid mounts.

fsttymsl- the bumper was/is cut and modded slightlly to fit the tips.

Acura_dipset_tl- I wasn't a fan at first but it grew on me, plus my wife knows nothing about cars and she wanted to have a part in the bulid so a friend of mine told her to get me a 3.5 badge, so yeah that's not coming off if you get my drift,lol.

Slickshiftnall6- yes its a home depot lip, sadly I had a ww lip molded but once I stanced it didn't last long on these bullshit north carolina road construction interstates, and I was planning on the RL upgrade but once I added the hawk pads ,lines and fluid to the legend calipers I was happy enough.

Anthracitecl- the exhaust hanger was broke at the time of the photos, it now has some urethane
Hangers, and yeah java black pearl was one of my choices but its been done and done and done, this color was modeled after the new black diamond caddy color and I'm sure there no othe tl or cl with it.

Sorry forgot to answer that one, its a honda odyssey auto swap, with type f full flush and tranny cooler and temp gauge. Even though its an auto it still is amazing, I will do a 6 speed if I boost.
And ill see what I can do about the queen city meet. Ill be on the BBS's so don't expect stance.

I like the engine, but the sparkly paint and popped hood is a bit too much for me.

I noticed the holes are still in trunk. I assume you removed the "A" after the repaint?

If civicdrivr (who I have mad respect for) says he doesn't like the paint and hood then I guess I need repaint and cut the hood to fit the mani spacer and drop the hood down. I'm amazed you didn't say you hated the gucci also.. But the way I look at it I got the power to back it up,lol.

But honestly the pics don't do the car justice, it looks 99% like the Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond Edition. My color has 0.15oz less flake than the caddy color code. and 75% silver flake and 25% gunmetal flake, the caddy color has 100% silver. Pus I painted it myself so it was an easy 200$.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi06n2Toki0


And I took the emblem off before paint and have been thinking of doing a black chrome one or just leaving it off.


And yes Zeta I broke it.......

After winter I will be doing a Ron Jon lip, slotted rotors, single HKS carbon ti axleback, another Bride with Takata, full red suede interior trim, diy dry carbon hood. If the money is right a diy turbo kit with my left over 60 trim ,tial wastegate and obx turbo manifold ,get E-manage then a tune at DRIVEN in charlotte..

And If I get sick of he paint I'm gonna do what I wanted to do this time but didn't because of time and $, Rootbeer Kandy over basic black.

And I'm still trying to make it Saturday..

Could be wrong but I think all the RJ kits are either gone or spoken for, might want to check sooner than later. All I know is I got mine! Nice work btw!

I didn't want to pile it on but I dont really like the Gucci either. Its your car though so you definitely get props from me for doing something different that you like. Especially with what's under the hood.

What did you run at the track? Are you going to be at the C&C meet this weekend in Charlotte?
