Shit happens and last-minute-back-outs exist. I just want to get this thing going solid.
Does anyone object to me offering "Non-Acura" to this dyno group?

I think buddy (BadAss IS-F) /and his friends will be interested.

anyone and everyone is welcomed.. tell all your friends about it.. front, rear, all wheel drive, doesnt matter.. they can dyno any car... the more cars the better


They're really excited to get hondas out there, they really want to get into make parts for Hondas/acuras.. Maybe we can talk to them about getting parts made for our cars They mostly work with subarus, evos, and shit...

i have driven one before at the SEMA convention before, and to tell you the truth, it did not seem that fast to me (maybe cause they let me drive it, and it was on a closed course)(but i did make the safty guy that rode with me, perk up some when i started to accelerate in some s-turns they set up, to try and make people slow down ), but i think they are a little overweight, which soaks up alot of their power

CLPimpin114

What do u guys think ur cars will put down guys? I'm stock with K&N dropin filter. Manuel said 260 HP. Put I've heard of others puttin down 220 HP.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

who's Manuel


you mean manual, but anyways that is at the crank not the wheels, so 220 (at the wheels) sounds about right if we were at sea level, but we're not so i think most people will be under 200 (but will proably be over 200 when the SAE correction factor is taken into account)

7thGenVillain

I'm going to gun for 280-290whp. I need to bring some bags of ice.

jrm1508

what you get on that dyno in your tool box?

Souljah

I love his car. He did a custom exhaust, OZ wheels, etc. Looks clean and mean.

Wish I had 420+hp IS-F... some day... just need to focus on making more cheddar.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

not saying that they are not a sweet car, they are, just that they don't seem all that fast for having 420+ hp, but it does have alot of potential there for some serious power with FI

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

only picture that i got of their track and it is was with my phone also, so don't mind the the quality:

Souljah

No I agree, 400 hp mark sounds like it should be ridiculously and amazingly fast. But it's just amazing fast. Maybe because traction is a little difficult or the 3700 lbs curb weight.

Still, of the few times I've been inside while he zoomed around... I envied him.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

also i don't like that 8-speed tranny ethier, just too many gears

i know some people will say more gears are better, but the last couple of gears just seem a little too closely spaced together, mainly to help maximise it's fuel economy [kinda like how are 4th and 5th gears are not seperated by that much]
also just imagine the repair costs when that tranny craps out, big time $$$


also curb weight is actually like 3780, so closer to 3800 pounds

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

also i think it could use a lower gear ratio (higher numically) in the back end too, that would help quite a bit too with getting it going (they say it can supposeadly [sp?] get over 200 mph (idk if that is mathamatically or if it would actually have enough power to get over 200)


i think something like a 3.5 rear end would proably make it quite good (stock is like 2.9)

Souljah

Haa haa, look at our dyno thread?
Anyways, I agree the car isn't my dream car but it's still one mother fucking bad ass vehicle. As I'd hope it should be with a 58K starting MSRP.

273whp 219wtq with stock pulley. Now, I have a high boost pulley.

Stock pulley = 4-5lbs
High boost = 7-8lbs

CLPimpin114

LOL OPPS type O

7thGenVillain

High boost pulley has been on since the summers. Motor is still holding up, and my motor is the 2nd Gen J-series compared to that ancient 1st Gen J-series. HAHA

at least we don't have that 3 cats bullshit, and we actually have true headers and not some single port crap

7thGenVillain

Haha, the 3rd cat is useless anyhow. At least my auto trans holds up better then you guys auto trans.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

, at least it is in tiptop shape more often then your trannies from lack of maintence :cough, cough:

Lol

7thGenVillain

Haha, we can keep this going on all night Matt. My tranny is in good shape, and I change my tranny fluid every 15k miles. I keep up with my maitenance.

i meant for people who actually do not maintain their cars (many more of them, then us that actually do maintain our cars)

HOCKEYMAN23

You guys ever seen that Artisan Performance twin turbo IS-F? Check it out on youtube...effing sick!! That thing whines like no tomorrow.

That damn car ain't made for tall people though. I'm 6'1" and my head brushes the headliner sitting in the drivers seat.

CLPimpin114

Hey Matt and 7th hopping u guys can chime in and help me out. My cruise Control doesnt seem to be workin, Cruise button is on(little button nxt to VSA) but when i press the other button on steerin wheel it wont engage. Dealer Said its most likely a loose cable on TB. Is this something i could check out myself? And would it be hard to adjust/ reattach cable? Are the BS me? do a lot of highway driving and goin down I270 there is a shit load of cops (have a heavy foot)> Thanks in advance guys. Also all other guys feel free to chime.

7thGenVillain

Possible bad wheel speed sensor. I have that problem on the occassion. If you have a bad wheel speed sensor, it doesn't let you set cruise control. You can turn it on, but you won't be able set it. I would get your ABS/VSA scanned.

CLPimpin114

Weak!!! Guess now i gotta take her back to dealer and get her checked out. Hope i get a Loaner
Is this something u can check out for me man?
