whats going on here

 

rodney actually has already gotten back to me via email. pretty quickly i must admit. thanks rodney

 

 

did the bypass on both of the throttle bodys. pretty easy. feels cool modifying even simple engine things =). removed the metal foot rest as well.

 

Dear Neptune.......

 

^^^ you do fail @ reading dont you ???

just here to browse pix ? do in some thread where you will get some painted calipers/rims/engine compartment....you in the wrong subforum....

 

swoosh he hasnt gotten any further back to me can you verify my questions about the ecu with him for me

 

^^^sure will....will talk to him today and let you know !!!

 

ok thank you!

 

I never asked to be shown that abomination,

I was simply reading about 2gtls and his venture into a "TL Diet" when my eyes were violated by that awful engine bay!

It was such a surprising sight to see on the beautiful 3rd gen TL (best looking TL's) - I mean it literally looks like a 4 year old got hold of spray paint in your engine bay!

Or the whole smurf pooping thing.. That would do it.

 

^^^ I said that coz you didnt read post 155....check back when you do

 

^ swoosh just ignore it. Check his handle...Insti gator. He's just foolin with ya.

thank you! just graduated high school im fucking stoked!

 

Good for you. Now I feel really old.

 

^^^

Congrats on your graduation !!!

 

this summer has been wild. im finding little time for my car. starting to get sad about it =(. im actually in need of some advice. im thinking about buying the manual transmission by itself and a turbo kit for the 2003 accord v6. and so i can get the highest costing stuff out of the way. and then with my job start buying all the smaller less expensive bits and just do it all at once and run low boost until i either get money for a standalone or blow up my motor and then ill rebuild it.

 

^^^ dude....btw the Seafoam cleared my codes....

 

you didnt give me a clear answer! im guessing thats a go for it thats the right idea kind of answer. but lucky. ill have to try and seafoam my car again damnit

 

sorry bro was in a hurry at the point....

running seafoam in the gas tank/vac line and engine cleared the CEL codes for me....they did come back on after 100 miles of driving but when off the same day

about mods, i would first get an engine/fuel management unit and then do the rest....i would like to have control over the engine before I start getting deep into the engine for mods....

 

yeah but id like to run low boost on stock stuff, and then get the ecu when i get money for it. i know its kinda a fucked up backwards of what almost all people do

 

I don't see the point of getting a turbo without engine management/tune. You spend money, add more weight up front, make car run worse, and probably damage engine.

If you really are making it a track car you are better off staying N/A.

 

 

so i just turned into everyone else on the forum who begins a build. im selling my car (parting it out). everything was functional when removed

 

 

WTF why ???

 

dont get me wrong i love this car. but im just looking for something different now. i feel terrible hahahaha i feel like i let everyone down (probably not) but still. im still going to lurk these forums though i love these engines! they dont get enough respect!

 

thats the worst thing about modding....

at times i feel why am i ruining this nice car by stripping her down....let me sell her and buy a Genesis Coupe and do some to it....or buy an older EVO/STI/RSX-S and do something to em....

but i love my car to death....and wont sell her no matter what....

 

nice project
