Minor update:

Using my FlashPro software (which I use on my S2000) I was browsing various tunes for an '11 CR-Z with 270cc injectors. Out of simple curiousity, I copied those settings and maps over and expanded upon them for up to 10 PSI.

Wow, more noticeable power. I have to shut off VSA now in the first couple gears

Even more importantly, no pesky (occasional) barometric pressure error or MAF sensor errors during strong acceleration. I'll definitely be going back for another dyno. Hoping to hit 220/220

It makes perfect sense, immediate torque from the electric motor, rotating assembly and turbo spool up, and then it's off to the races. Very cool! I hope a market develops for the application. Awesome build, thank you for sharing.

Update:

KTuner has been very generous with their assistance and have ironed out a lot of the bugs. When the temperature gets somewhere reasonable, I'll be doing another dyno pass. I'm currently working on a proper cold air intake to compensate for the insane intake temperatures I was seeing on days when it was 116°

Do iiiiit. I need a practical vehicle, AKA something that seats more than two. I gave my Accord to my mom. She literally drives it once a week even so, it's now her car.

Accord 2.0 Sport 6MT...

You go first...
Not gonna lie, saw one ride by today on the road after I lit him up in the Caddy...Well, he was flying, and I pulled into traffic and paced his car in like 100 feet...he was looking over like
All I kept thinking was man, that is probably some sexy gas mileage and reliability right there.

No check engine light now for several weeks despite my lead foot and high temperatures. KTuner solved it!

Waiting for cooler weather and we'll try to squeeze a tad more power out of it and I'll get a stronger clutch along with the Honda accessory limited slip differential

If it weren't for the lack of crocodiles and homeless people on bath salts, I would have thought I was in Florida. Fortunately the lack of a Class IV lanai reminded me that I was merely in Arizona during monsoon season and lived near a lake.

On a more serious note: I love thunder and lightning, my dogs completely ignore it. And people can't drive worth shit when it rains here.

Oh, man...puddles cause crashes, here. When you have 300+ days of sun every year, you become completely inept at driving in ANY kind of weather.

The Irony is I kept looking at the background for your photo thinking there is no way this wasn't near Las Olas or in Palm Beach County...


Great looking neighborhood and ride, Ken. I'm sure all your neighbors have Escalades and Mercs...probably like, oh look, the pool boy has 2 hondas!

Thanks! They're by far one of my favorite wheel sets Honda has ever made. Got them for $500
