naw, cause im not too worried about it. It'll be like that too for a while. and you guys are going to hate seeing the 4x4 even more when you see it. oh, and your ass better be coming to our meet on either aug 2nd or 3rd. seriously.

and thanks ninja. :thumbsup: make my award or something. haha.

DaInFaMMuS1 07-10-2008 01:58 AM

Still dont have the power steering bracket :COUGHCOUGH::KUMAR::COUGHCOUGH:: and the damn rear motor mount needs to be modified to keep the motor from moving a little and the massive IM from hitting the brake booster:annoyed:. I need to cop those IM motormounts soon, that'll probably fix the issue.

What i can say is that the torque powerband on the H23vtec vs the H22 feels much more useable with this big heavy CL from the low end all the way through. Maybe it feels that way cuz the H22's i've driven only had i/h/e and i have more than that. I can't rev as high as an H22 as the H23vtec is essentially a stroked H22 w/an extra .1 liters and a few differences here and there, but i really dont think i'd need it anyway. 7 and change RPM is fine for me (my friend's H22 accord revs to 8200. idk if thats even safe lol). Although, if i wanted to i could plug in the JDM P13 and rev higher, but i dont think it would make more power with more rpm unless i'm going turbo or cams or something, so i'll stick to what i got...for now :ninja:.

I should also find out if the H23vtec has the extra oilsquirters the H22 has which make it safer to rev higher, but last time i checked i believe they were there (am i right Allan?)

Pics to come :wish:

sounds like the build is getting there. hopefully its done completely very soon, cant wait for pics!

97BlackAckCL 07-10-2008 11:59 AM

no, it just wasn't funny :smooch:

DaInFaMMuS1 07-10-2008 05:22 PM

fuckin IM and brake booster fitment is driving me CRAZY! I fear if that i can't find a way to make it fit i wont be able to use it, thats like 10-15 less whp :( . And money down the drain. IACV wiring was a pain too as the H23 and F23 use 3 connectors and the H22 skunk2 IM uses 2, but once i hook up the H22 ecu 1 of those connectors becomes irrelevant i believe. So we'll see. More direct info by tonight.

SupraManAG 07-10-2008 09:23 PM

iacv solved. the booster issues no issue if it was up to me. i pretty much cracked my tranny and managed to do something. improvise. customize. wise up son ;)

starboy2nv 07-11-2008 12:40 AM

tomorrow i shall get the bracket delivered to me...

Yeah i couldn't figure it out. I'm gonna bring it over to your crib, maybe we can do something about it. I just took the damn thing off for now so that the car can run normally without bogging and shit.

SupraManAG 07-11-2008 04:29 PM

tomorrow might be your only shot. I work like crazy and tomorrow might be my only day off.

DaInFaMMuS1 07-11-2008 04:36 PM

fawk. i can wait then. no big rush. im waiting on my chipped p28 and obd2b to obd1 harness to come in anyway.

DaInFaMMuS1 07-12-2008 05:21 AM

You know you have a dedicated mechanic when you tell him you need the car for something the next day and he works all night to fix the car's issues and shows up AT YOUR DOORSTEP at 6 am to hand u the car! LOL. Can't get any better than that

732xghost 07-12-2008 12:34 PM

chris did you talk to xenocron??

DaInFaMMuS1 07-14-2008 02:08 AM

Nah, i'm just gonna have the part i need overnighted from an ebay store. I need to change my thermostat though, the car seems to keep fluctuating in temperature.

732xghost 07-14-2008 02:09 AM

why am i on AZ while my friend is having a party. its time to let go. lol

97BlackAckCL 07-14-2008 08:41 AM

10whp from an IM? hmm...ill start looking into one. Seems like a good mod.
what esle do you need for that? throttle body? port matching?

1slo23 07-14-2008 10:43 AM

10-15 whp from the IM? Wow, i never knew that you could get those results, you have cams/port/polishing?

the setup i had was a matching throttle body (70mm) and it was portmatched, along with the IACV relocation kit and hondata IM gasket. I just took it all out and put the stock setup back in for now, till i get all the other kinks worked out then i can focus on it. I'm def gonna try to get it back on the car somehow, just dont know how yet. Dyno tests have shown improvements of 10-15 whp just with that setup i listed, as it gets rid of the butterfly secondaries and has massive direct airflow to the cylinders.

suremang 07-14-2008 12:52 PM

wait so which ecu are u running currently?

DaInFaMMuS1 07-14-2008 01:48 PM

F23 ecu unfortunately. Finally ordered the jumper harness to be overnighted last night, then that will help TREMENDOUSLY. I probably shouldn't even really run the motor with that ecu but i wanna break the stage 2 clutch in so im cruising around taking it easy on it.

DaInFaMMuS1 07-15-2008 12:42 AM

I'll be getting better pics with my camera soon, I gotta find the wire to be able to upload them

DaInFaMMuS1 07-16-2008 02:40 PM

Update...H22/23 heads please check this out.

I got my jumper harness and Custom basemap ecu from phearable.net and WOWWWW is all i can say for the new ECU. I put in the jdm p13 and the fuel basemaps were still wrong, car would hit vtec and fall on its face. I'm guessing the extra .1 difference in liters made a big difference for fuel mixture. Right after i cursed up a storm cuz the car wasn't running right, the mail lady comes back to my house (had already dropped off the harness in the morning) and hands me the phearable P28. FINALLYYYY the car revs all the way to 8k, and pulls HARD all the way to redline! As soon as the stage 2 clutch catches the car LEAPS into action, its a beautiful thing. I still have to get used to the clutch though.

All thats left to adjust is the idle, as it keeps bouncing up and down between 1000 and 1300. and check what the check engine light is (probably idle related) and the car will be running in peak condition. Right now id say its 85% outta 100% simply for the idle problem and check engine light.

AznX TL 07-16-2008 02:42 PM

arent you going to break in the clutch before you start doing hard pulls?

DaInFaMMuS1 07-16-2008 02:52 PM

ummm yeah i probably should lol. i just wanted to see if the ECU was as advertised. I'm gonna cruise with her till i get to like 300 or 400 miles on the clutch now that i know the ECU is exactly what i paid for. Right now im at about 80 miles.

97BlackAckCL 07-16-2008 03:25 PM

Nice Chris, glad you got it fixed up, new ECU should make all the difference in the world

sorry for being negative but your gonna be working out bugs and little issues with the swap for a while. im still have slight issues and hiccups with everything. hopefully you'll have better luck then me. maybe my car will run better with a chipped p13 as opposed to my chipped p06.

AcAttAcK98 07-16-2008 08:24 PM

Now that is one sexy engine bay. I have to give it to you man.. I'm so f*cking happy for you.. lol.. no seriously.. I am.. Good stuff man.. Good stuff!

subbuzz 07-16-2008 08:48 PM

I know i'll be working out kinks for a while lol. I can feel certain things that will probably need to be worked out but at least it still runs strong (besides the idle). Also bro an ecu makes a world of difference as i've seen for myself. Please take that p06 out and get u a chipped p13 or p28!

SupraManAG 07-17-2008 05:36 AM

he has a chipped P06. Its like a chipped P28 or P13. The chips add functions, preload basemaps n such. The ecus are like bodies and when you chip em you fuckup with their memory so you can make it do whatever you want

fliplyricist1 07-17-2008 07:26 AM

that looks very hot brah....mucho props :)

The basemaps he's running doesn't seem to be giving him peak performance, you remember way back when u were trying to get him to use your p28 lol. Def needs some sort of tune.

Thanks bro :thumbsup: Now if i could only get the outside of it to look as good as yours on those staggered 18's I'm set lol.

teh CL 07-17-2008 05:52 PM

would i be able to get just the basemap from that site or do i have to get the whole ecu? Cuz i got a P06 chipped to a p28 with a custom basemap that the guy that street tuned my car made, but if i can get a copy of yours that works mint that would be amazing.

Cocoa 07-17-2008 06:44 PM

Sweet! Post a vid from inside. :)
