I think I'm gonna try and put it in while everyone else is on the dyno....

iTrader: (4)

thought it was already on , only issue i might see is that the computer won't be able to fully compensate for it though

so are going twice then for a total of six runs then

iTrader: (22)

sounds like a dyno day if there are other ppl goin

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

^^

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

IF, i get my installed in time

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

Do it!!!!! Dude, I'll even help!!! Just gotta give me a ride in it right after

Just to be clear... this will fit in my 00 tl with no cutting or hood spacers.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

No

brian6speed

iTrader: (5)

I kinda want to buy the spacer and try installing with my 09 tl im. It looks like you will have around 1/2" of extra space with the tl im and from looking at ur pics even if you dremel the hood it still looks like you need a lil closer to 1". Has noone tried this yet still?

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

having a 09 manifold will mean that you won't have to trim or pop the hood as much, and you may not even have to pop the hood at all


anyways look at e30cabrio's, i think he also has the spacer with the 09 manifold
also civicdrivr i think has it too

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

both of them dont have the spacer. e30 said that the manifold still hit the hood with the spacer

brian6speed

iTrader: (5)

damn I figured that would be the case

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

im gonna try it out in a few months. right now i want to get boost already and then the small accessories like 09 manifold, acc pulleys engine bay dress up/interior

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

just did the before dyno

Should have the spacer on with some numbers by sat

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

and then 09 IM

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

sweet. cant wait. u gonna do the dyno with the oem IM+ spacer and then one with the 09 im+ spacer?

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

yes, hopefully

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

and he needs all the help he can get on his slow ass P , to even be able to keep up with a stock S, that had some heavy ass 20" rims on it too (also the S needs a complete tune up also ;plugs, t/belt, valve adjust, etc., etc.)

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

what numbers did u get on the before dyno?

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

182 whp, 180 wtq. just a sri, and test pipe on atm..

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

thats ok for a tl-p. get headers, it will open up the car. u should be between 200-210whp if u add some headers

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

i've got headers just sitting in my room. Also gonna remove the mufflers and fab up some pipes. Should be pretty good until I get an actual exhaust..

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

, remember it's a craptasic auto, that is sucking up alot of that power, but still reaching over 200 with just bolt-ons especially on a P

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

^type s's get that stock. he only needs to make up 35 hp to get that, all the bolts ons and hes there, give or take a few

EDIT: oh wait your in denver right? nvm then

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

that 180hp was with it being SAE corrected for the altitude and such, so the denver's altitude doe not matter so much, but yes we are severely down on our power here

could always go with , , and do the direct port like rajca is doing in his build thread

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

i would build teh engine if he wanted to go direct port. bc even with a small 35/50 shot. its alot in each cylinder, like like 50 getting split up in all cylinders. and u always want more.

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

3.6 turbo, maybe nitrous...

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

so whens the after dyno?

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

iTrader: (3)

They arnt that thin, but they are covered with tape now. Yeah, I had to put bigger bolts also.

i got a 01 tl with the type s swap i know i have to cut and put spacers on the hood but how is it when it rains does it get wet under the hood bad or no?

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

all electrical connectors are sealed under the hood, so a little water won't hurt a thing under there, but if you take a fire hose (or even a constant garden hose) you might have another story though
remember water comes through the radiater already some, and from the underside also with the wheels spraying it up and such, so i would not be worried about it too much

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

im afraid to say that a spacer on ur car wont work. u can install one but be sure to give it a goo 4" lift or cut a hole in the hood. with a type s swap u only have 1/4" or clearance between the manifold and hood. but good luck and post pics

m1k3y3.2tl

dam i got it coming to

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

u can always still try it

m1k3y3.2tl

im going to keep it and just do some work on the hood so it closes all the way a little cutting and fiberglass should do it.
