^wtf?

 

that was an extreme example

beach exotic has already hinted that it is not necessary

 

Can you post some pictures of your IM and hood open and shut?

 

Let's see some pics!

 

No need, lets see what it does first....

 

No worries from me... No doubt in my mind the underwhelming proof this mod is going to demonstrate. Al's 09 plenum has more potential.

Just cause it bolts on don't mena it's gonna do good things.

 

lol... hey I just came up with the idea after p2r said the 09 bolts up to the 02/03 j35 I am going to be swapping in

 

i no someone that has the spacer installed hahahahahahaha

 

Tell us how it is! Perrrty please! haha :rollin:

 

oooooooooo i forgot to mention that it was done on a tl type s hahahahahaha

 

any updates?

 

I'm tired of hearing people say they know someone, or have done it themselves. Show some pics or proof damnit...

 

its not some mystery its just a $20mod

 

$20 mod my ass.... . Try $70 +tax pricematched to Delray Acura @ my dealer.

spacer: ~$20
2 gaskets: ~$36
9 bolts: ~ $14

Shits on order...

 

mmmh you only needed 1 gasket so thats $18 you didn't need there...

 

Lmao

 

Ok there Cap'm! I'm using both anyhow.

 

^ so you're using 3 total?

 

I just talked with jsacuraltls and he's looking for bolts...kind of hard to do without the proper bolts.

 

I would say go to boltdepot.com, they have everything.

 

thats a negative.

 

So we have multiple people buying this stuff/mod, and we don't even know if there is anything gained?

 

What size do you need?

 

I thought it was possible to use the OEM extended bolts?

 

M8x105 Flange bolt, not Hex Head. I'd be interested to see if you could find it for under $6 a bolt. This part is on nationwide back order thru acura, and ive done plenty of google searching and making phone calls to grainger, fastenal, etc... thx bud. For now, I've settled on some hex heads i found locally.

 

Did you try honda also? Remember odessey + pilot + ridgeline have the spacer also

 

Yes, its all seen as the same part # by both Honda and Acura alike. I checked with multiple Honda/Acura dealers, and its out of stock at every dealer I've tried as well as in Honda/Acura warehouses nationwide.

Im good to go, and have parts that will work....but I'd just hate to the next person that wants to get the bolts they need and cant.

 

I guess I should have raised my price on those bolts I had then. heh.

What did you do for the studs?

 

I was able to get the studs from acura

 

In for updates...

 

Tomarrow. I'll be sending the video to AL. So he maybe modify it. It's been awhile. I'm sorry for that. I had problems with the video. I'm sending it to AL. When i return from my School and stopping by the office. It should be up tom. Hound AL.

 

AWD dynos are all bad news. we dyno'd my friends AWD 996tt, and it made such low power we though the engine was all fucked up. then realized that the rollers were spinning at such different speeds, it was completely ruining the dyno. its mainly because most AWD cars have atleast 60% of the power going to the rear wheels. we dyno'd it with the front drive shaft out and it did amazing numbers

 

New DYNO #s:

Mustang DYNO:

Note, both runs were done on the SAME dyno

No SPACER= 280.6 whp & 246.9 wtq ........(dotted line)

IM SPACER= 281.3 whp (+0.7) 254.1 wtq (+7.2) .........(solid line)

Legend:

RED = HP
BLUE = TQ
GRAY = AFR

 

Wow, thats a good bump in torque for the price.


Cant wait to get the 5 bolts i need to put mine on now.

 

I ordered 3...& only 1 came in...lol

I used that 1 bolt to match up with a couple from LOWES....Luckly i found the ONLY 6 bolt left that was pretty much identical for only $0.92 each...

 

Nice. Excellent.
Did you run a P2R gasket as well? Or did you use the OEM?
Did you add the hood spacers?

 

acu-rate can you notice any difference? does it pull harder in your opinion?

 

I ran the P2R on the bottom & the OEM on the top.

I ran hood spacers on the D/S.....the P/S have a gap w/o the spacers..so i just left it the way it is.

 

Awesome. Thanks for info.

 

I felt a slight diff. in 1st & 2nd.....I broke traction a little in 2nd which NEVER happened b4 in hard pulls.
