awesome driving as usual. sub 2 will come really soon.š
Yah...they were fine for the first mile then hella creaky...and just a little squeaky...maybe Iāll grease them again...They were when I first installed them for about a day then they seem to be fine. Did you just install a set?
That was the idea!Sweet! Sounds just like a JDM Honda with that Spoon muffler.![]()
I'd say give it a few more days. Me and Bryce (@Senna88) installed ours at the same time and they were both noisy at first.Yah...they were fine for the first mile then hella creaky...and just a little squeaky...maybe Iāll grease them again...
btw your car is amazing!
Are you running an OEM differential? Gear type LSDs have zero torque transfer if you loosetr3flip said:I had a pretty rad two day weekend at Buttonwillow with all the track homies. The TSX felt pretty good for the most part with the exception of the transmission being a little notchy on the first day and the LSD seemed to be slipping way more than normal.
Yep, I'm on the factory LSD. The thing is, I've tracked on this same trans for over two years and never had an issue with it slipping in the slower corners. I'm getting slip even when I'm not lifting the wheel.Are you running an OEM differential? Gear type LSDs have zero torque transfer if you loose
a substantial amount of traction on one wheel. So, when you lift a wheel, zero torque transfer
and the engine just revs. I noticed at least a half dozen times your inside wheel lifted in your video.
Thanks, Eric! Has to be something going on with the stock diff. I'm looking at Kaaz and OSG for diffs at the moment. Another friend of mine actually has a Spoon CL7 trans with plated diff that might be up for grabs so I'm kinda waiting to see if I can snag that first to avoid having to wait for a rebuild. I'll definitely hit you up if I decide go with OS Giken.Strange. Maybe accelerated wear? If you decide to get a diff made for track use, consider a Wavetrac
or OS Giken. The OS Superlock is probably the best plate type diff on the market. Not cheap, but it
would be perfect for you. I can get them at wholesale if you are interested in one.![]()
Update J35 Throttle Body Install:
I picked up a J35 throttle body from an 06 Acura RL at the local pick-a-part. Since my K24 is from 2004 it comes with the smaller 60mm throttle body. The J35 throttle body has a 65mm opening at the plate which is substantially bigger than my stock and still fits into the factory intake tube.
I didn't get any pictures of the install before because this was way easier than I expected. I'll likely go back and port my RBC manifold and get some detailed shots of what's needed.
My initial impressions are good. The car has more torque and little bit more horsepower based on my ass-dyno. It sort of feels like it picked back up the lost torque from swapping to the RBC manifold. A well worthy install for under $100!

do you needYeah, I went with the thermal gasket because there is a section of the throttle body that is exposed on the RBC manifold. The thermal gasket seals that opening shut. The P2R sticker is for the Map to Vacuum adapter on top of the throttle body since the Map sensor is already on the RBC.
There wasn't a whole lot of info on this that I could find but did come across this good photo of the two parts I ordered from P2R to use with my J35 TB.

You need the gasket and the vacumn adaptor I got mines from p2ris the parts/gasket you used only needed for RBC?
What intake do you use? Iām aware itās not too much bigger in diameter but curious if there would be any issue with the coupling attaching to the throttle body on the aftermarket k&n that I have.
I'm using the stock RBC intake tube to match the bend of the manifold. The J35 throttle body i believe is the biggest stock throttle body you can fit with the factory tube.What intake do you use?
