detail pics and review afterward would be awesome

KillerG

when i get my cai installed im gonna see how much slack there is. it would probably require some custom fabricated mount extension

Honestly most intakes don't even need a bracket to hold them in. Mine sits completely fine no bracket.

KillerG

Heres how they did it in the 1st gen, just food for thought

btw, i didnt even know we HAD a weapon-R intake

I am really hoping this comes to fruition. I will buy this part.

The P2R intake manifold
Downpipe
Intake...mmm

KillerG

+1
a teeny bit more HP and this car is perfect

ParaSurfer1979

Every part is out but the DP. The DP will soon start R&D now that Josh has a part donor.

My rough estimate it a total of 18-20hp with these 3 pieces at least. The DP will also help cat back exhaust gain more power.

kowloonsniperhk

Awesome!

Damn I need to do a baseline dyno. too bad the last two times I did it, they couldn't get it write. I got these numbers all over the place. Sucks having an automatic.

Keak

So I found out what dates I can make it up to Phoenix, I just need to get in touch with excelerate tommorow and see if the dates are cool with them.

ParaSurfer1979

Having these parts will make you forget you're driving an auto. It's not always convenient for most to have a manual but it doesn't mean that guys with auto's don't like to have fun driving.
Josh is a great guy. I speak to him daily via AIM and he always replies back. This kind of niceness is the reason why I'm buying his products for my TL. He'll answer every question and even helped me part the best mods for the powerband i wanted.

KillerG

+30,000

how true.

zman0125

any idea of when this part may be out? Summer?

kowloonsniperhk

I already got this lined in my list of mods for this first half of the year if it does come out by then.

KillerG

now that i have a CAI ill definitely be completing the set with this

CAI, ported runners, intake manifold, and downpipe will be perfect. Should bring the TSX to around ~220 HP atleast which is exactly where it should be

ed_423

haha i dont think it'd go 220..would it? i mean..our cars have "201" hp, but with the slug box, we pretty much only have like...150?160? with intake, ported runner, intake manifold, and downpipe, it'd probably be 180 max?

i'd stll do it tho. hahaha

KillerG

i guess i meant 220 engine hp ... bhp?

the whp (i hope i have my terms correct here) would be much lower like you said cause of torque converter/drivetrain loss

i think wed still see a +20 hp gain in either situation though : )

protip: air condition saps like 3-5% hp according to an old car mag article i read. turning it off = TURBO MODE

kowloonsniperhk

heh i don't really care about the hp numbers, just want my car to be a bit more 'alive' when i do some spirited driving

ed_423

haha +1 on that, a bit more prep and im happy

KillerG

But if we dont compare HP numbers how do we know who has a bigger penis?

KillerG

aw crap its too late to edit in red text

Mr. NC

^^^^ LOL

Classic Sig material

I think the stock 2010 TSX was dynoed at 180whp/160ft-lbs ish. So with the above upgrades we could hit 200?

BTW whats a slug box?

kowloonsniperhk

auto

zman0125

Thats what I thought, I have referred to it as slush box. MT all the way!

ed_423

sorry, i did mean the SLUSH box. idk where slug came from LOL

KillerG

ed has a slug fetish

optimusaccord

I am interested in this piece also, I am hoping for a high flow cat, not a test pipe, so that I can roll around with the unit on all the time, and my car not smell like rotten eggs.

ParaSurfer1979

Update on R&D...

The guy that was going to donate his Accord for the downpipe has pulled out. Is there anyone near Pheonix, AZ that can help XLR8 do R&D for the downpipe? I'm sure you'll be offered a great deal for your time.

ParaSurfer1979

This is larger diameter piping with hi-flow cats so that you stay in compliance with inspection. Any other questions let me or Josh at XLR8 know.

ed_423

noob question, but how does a downpipe affect the sound department?

Excelerate

iTrader: (1)

Again for emphasis, we will not be deleting the primary catalytic converter. This will delete the secondary cat and the pipe between the two cats. Whoever cannot donate their car in the Phoenix, AZ for 2 days will get a free pipe, free installation, and a free before and after dyno.

KillerG

whoever can***

i really hope you guys find a donor, we are looking forward to this piece : )!

kowloonsniperhk

mmm roadtrip for me? lol

kowloonsniperhk

someone get on this so the rest of us can buy it

ParaSurfer1979

Nothing done to sound from this. It will gain you 6-10hp whether you have a after-market exhaust or stay stock. This will also allow you to see more hp gain IF you decide to do an after-market exhaust. This freeing up of exhaust gas should yield you not only more power but on normal driving more mpg.

If ANYONE is in the area or states adjacent to AZ, I'm sure Josh may tell you where the cheaper hotels are in the area near XLR8's R&D shop. If you haven't voted please do. The more interest the better. If anyone knows someone near PHX that can find a 2nd Gen TSX/8th Gen Accord 4cyl that would like a free part, please do that. I have gotten too much interest at and here to let this just become a fiasco. Maybe a good weekend getaway for someone in SoCal or other states near to receive a quality free part that will make much needed hp and lets not forget the much more needed low-end torque. Let's also give a big thanks to Josh at XLR8 for taking on this project after I asked him. He help so much in my 3rd Gen J-pipe thread that I just asked. If I got the people, he'd be down to making the best product for the K24. Now I have the people... Someone must have the time to donate their car for free added 6-10hp. Let's get moving... .

kowloonsniperhk

AZ ppl throw it up!

ed_423

i seriously dont think we have any AZ cu2 ppl O.O

Keak

Sorry I had to back out guys. Josh I reccomend a craigslist ad.

optimusaccord

I wish I was a little closer, but STL is 1200 miles away. If you were closer I would definitely just hang out at the shop the whole time the part was being fabbed up.
