I have a few more tricks down my sleeve in the weeks and months to come. Stay tuned! ha ha ha *evil laughs*

i believe the J pipe is that ugly piece of exhaust where the 2 headers connect before going to the back of the car....acura really cut back on the quality of that. Im not sure if thats it I could be wrong

Someone was selling their aftermarket J-pipe with 3rd cat delete on the black market, check it out!

Yes Wayne is tuning it for me but I have to wait till July 10th. In the mean time I am getting a dyno done just to see what numbers I am getting right now and to make sure the AF is right.

If it is an M62 charger, is there any way to use an M90 and adapt that to the system on the tl?
Are all the internals you used forged as are the stock ones? At least i have read in a few places that the stock rods/crank are forged. It would be a shame to find out they arent any good.
It does suck seeing the "manifold" castings in the cylinder head with the motor out of the car. Makes me wonder how much more power could be there if we could get a cylinder head out "header" with good size primaries and such.
Nice build up, sucks to hear all the problems you have had with the build, but nice to see all working at the end.
Good luck, im looking forward to the results
Take care

The biggest problem about fitting the M90 would be space.
For internals I have stock right now. I believe the Rods and Cranks are forged, but I could be wrong. However there are a number of people running stock internals and are running 400+whp daily. If I do blow my engine, then stronger parts will come. (Not looking forward to that)
Here is a small update to my car. Got some new parts, guess what it is!

I say again, nice job with your car and great pics.
I am anxiously awaiting your dyno and anticipate much over the result.

lookinco: I saw that you were running 17x8.5f & 17x9r, but I gotta know what offsets & tire sizes/brand/model your using. 17" rims look much nicer than I expected, but those fat tires really set them off.
Also: What happened to the black/red versions?
Sorry if this stuff has been covered already...

I am running 17x8.5 and 17x9. Offset is +35 front and +45 rear. I actaully have a pair of 17x8.5 +35mm offset for sale right now. They are pretty much brand new. PM me if you are interested.

I seriously just fell in love with 17" rims all over again. I'm not a super big fan of the RFP1, but the setup & sizing looks amazing...

I can see how the specs on the fronts would yield that look, but I am puzzled how the specs on the rears have the same look...it doesn't seem right.

This also has a small effect on the ABS/TCS system, especially when the tire diameters don't match front & rear. The computer detects different wheel speeds front & rear, and can possibly activate the systems prematurely in the event they are needed. Of course the system might be smart enough to slightly compensate since front & rear tires don't exactly wear at the same rate on a normal car, but 3% is a lot to expect...
You can also tell that rear sidewalls have less bulge than the fronts. This should be around 11mm less bulge on each side of the rim in the rear so that makes sense...

Yeah, man, you're two weeks late on results.
I swear, I've been hitting this thread at least a few times a day hoping to see dyno results.
