To reach my goal with 450hp I need boost, Im going to feed this baby with 14psi, that should do it. But to boost that high Im going for a build bottom from ERL with Darton sleeves. 2.5L here we go!

Malkolm, you are insane with this engine

So glad the battery is lasting so long, and it looks the the wing got there safe. It made me nervous to ship since the paint seemed like it turned out so good.

Wow....engine mad dude!!

You love the Ks y0!

 

[kuma912]

You know you can reach 450whp with just pistons and rods.

Looks good so far. I'm not big on the Mugen wing, as I think it's overwhelming for the styling lines of the Accord/TSX, however, to each his own. You may run into some rubbing issues with the wheels once you do eventually lower the car.

Good luck with the work in progress.

hey, what mods to the ek9 shift boot are required to make it fit?

Does Sweden give out free money to its citizens?

No, I hope you just beeing silly. I thought this would come up to discuss in my thread. And the answer is no Im not wealthy. At the moment Im singel and that makes it alot easier to put money on the car. But I´ll explain about my situation, the first thing is that I work hard for my money, in my job there is no nine-five hours, I can go home when the work is done, if im lucky its just nine-five, but mostly its later, and weekends too. I remember one sunday last year when I worked 25h, my boss let me go home to sleep 5h before waking up to go to work monday morning again.

All the money that I have earned the last 4years has went in to my cars. Bought cheap cars that I have swapped engines in and then built the car to become drivabel on both streets and tracks.
This is my Honda´s Im owned the last 4years:

*Crx -86, B18c4-swap with S80-gearbox LSD, yellow konis, Kosei Seneka Racing wheels, and more.
*Civic EG hb -95, K20a2-swap, LSD, kpro, BC coilovers, S2000 brakes, Lenso VPD wheels, and so on.
*Honda S2000, engine was broken so I build an 2.4L engine with leftovers, Js racing catback, Hardtop, BYS wing, oem lip, Work Emotion CR cai wheels, and more
*Civic EG hb -92, k24-swap, Quaife LSD, homemade Screw-supercharger with cooler, Kpro, SSR header,70mm catback, tractionbars, Recaro,Skunk2 coilovers, 5-lug, Wolk CE028 wheels, and ALOT more!

And from every car I sold I took every cent to build the next car, and all my patchecks too. Here some pics from those cars:

that's some dedication, props to you.

Sorry for asking again, but what do you need to do to the ek9 shift boot to make it fit?

 

[shay654]

Wow! A car raised up more than me! hahahaha jk Nice interior and pix! :thumbsup:

 

[malkolm666]

The EK9 boot took me 3hours to fit, but basic its just a cut and fit method to do, I used the bootframe from the TSX and gently with alot of patience pick one pin at a time, you need to be carefull with the pins beacuse you need to reuse them on the EK9 boot. If you have patience and like to do things by your own this is not so hard. I really like the oem look to it.

Today I spend a couple of hours on my Kpro harness, so now I can drive witout any DTCs anymore!

Everything works fine except VSA(I dont care) and the Tachometer, and the tacho annoys me, it works fine for 2s when I start the car, and then it stops there, sometimes at 1500rpm, sometimes at 800rom and so on.. I really dont like that, so that will be the last thing tofix then my kpro harness is 100% working.

I got my bracket welded today for my enginedamper, Im gonna install it tomorrow:

 

[STILLHERE153]

oh that was you on k20a.org who made their home made s/c
I read that entire thread... lol, damn dude... seriously I can't wait to see your work in progress

ps. 14psi wont make 450hp... like 10 will tho hahahaah

 

[falken]

very nice tsx what engine do you got standard ?
that' s picture of the spoon etd is mine but how does it feel in you're car ?

 

[malkolm666]

Hi, I have the K24a3 engine in my car, its exactly the same as the 06 spec TSX K24a2 engine.

I havent started the motor yet with the damper installed, but I know that you need to preload it after you have installed it, otherway its gonna "rattle".

 

[falken]

what do you mean with preload ?

 

[malkolm666]

you need to tense it, so it had some tension before you start your car, Ju cant just mount it because then it rattles.

Install the damper and its bracket, then you need to adjust the tension to it. then if you have enough tension on it your good ta drive.

There is an adjustment nut on it, the one with alot of groves, did you see that?

opcorn: this is insane.
