What up guys, just wanted to let you know I got a couple new mods I threw on yesterday. Put in an Outlaw Engineering Thermoblock Spacer and cleaned the EGR port while I was at it. Followed by and AEM cold air intake. Also smoked my tails with Rockblocker film. I couldn't be happier. She runs so much more smoothly now with the EGR cleaned out. Pulls harder with the intake and sounds like a beast. Tails look clean. I have an Eibach Pro Kit on its way in the mail and should be on by the end of the week or early next week. Ill put up pics as soon as thats all done. I'm pumped. I've been meaning to do this for a while and it's finally happened. Now what's next....?

sounds good man, cant wait to see some pics.

and lets see what else you've done a good job at covering most bases i say...

if you dont have, i suggest..

-tint
-debagde
-headlight mod, im sure there are some for the 2g
-lip kit? i know there are some nice ones out there for your car

other than that u say u have a drop coming soon, so sounds good! keep up tha good work! mine is still a work in progress but cant give nothing but props to a fellow acura owner

Yea thats what I was thinking. I'm gunna do the UR crank pulley, and I was thinking about the XS headers but I'm trying to decide if it would be worth it to save up and do the comptechs. I also live in Cali so I gotta take that into consideration.

Got the tint and debadging covered. I feel ya on the lip kit. I really want one. My problem is I'm a broke ass college student so it makes it a kind hard. I'm thinking it will be a good summer project though

SRAcuraTL

Oh and what are the HP gain difference between doing just the crank pulley vs the whole set? If its worth it Ill save for the set. But if theres minimal difference then I'll probably just do the crank and complete the set later when I have a couple extra dollars.

Sounds good, I wanna do the spacer kit on my Type-S. PICS!

nice mods. i think you would ahve gotten smoother revs just by cleaning your EGR alone...

SRAcuraTL

Yea Im gunna throw up some pics as soon as I get my Pro-Kit on there so itll be the whole package.

Oh no doubt about it. It feels like a brand new car. I highly recommend that everyone do this. Its very easy. It may seem a bit intimidating to some with little or no experience working on motors (like me), but in reality theres should be no problems as long as you take your time and don't rush putting everything back together. Very worth while. The motor feels like it pulls harder and runs smoother. I'm hoping to see mileage gains but I don't know if it will help that much. Ill let ya know if I see any changes.

headers, 30 hp gain on a type s 18 on a tl-p

SRAcuraTL

Seriousely? I thought headers would give you 5hp at most. I could be mistaken tho. If I could get 18 hp from headers then i will order them tonight. You sure about that?

dope!

i feel ya on the broke ass college student thing..ahhhh. life..but hey i got me a raise at work..and i ordered most of theparts i want..mostly cosmetic for now.

SRAcuraTL

Yea it sucks doesn't it. So many things I want to do but lack the funds. But go to school now so you can pay for the things you want later and then some. Hard to appreciate now but it'll pay of in the end right?

dope!

iTrader: (28)

thats the plan! most of my friends are blwoing their money now saying they are doing it while they can, im like ok...wut about tomorrow? things they dont think about. n it sure will pay off in the end. stay in skool kidz! lol

Going fast and getting to speed fast are good-
but IMO
BRAKES are the most important mod you can do for the TL
If you cant avoid the idiot ahead on the road-
at least be able to outbrake them!!!

Type S owners- check Excelerate thread on new spacer from different company. Seems to be the trick setup for you guys

Razzi

that's what i've been told from fttys and excelerate lol

SRAcuraTL

Well looks like that will probably be my next project. Thats awsome. I had no idea it was that big of a gain.

SRAcuraTL

True, my rotors are starting to get a little warped so I might as well do the upgrade instead of replacing that stock rotors.

So you think the P2R spacer is better than the OE spacers?

oulaw29

headers are a must on this case, get the ss autochrome for $105 or less shipped a copycat of the $1,200 comptech, do a search very few issues, except from haters who paid $1,200 for theirs!!!

SRAcuraTL

Yea thats what I'm gunna do. For $1100 less I can deal with a slight bit of resonance. I was just on their website and I noticed they have a pulley for $20. Anyone had any expiriance with this. Sounds like it could be risky.
