Lookin nice buddy. A little late here but about the plug gap. If you are getting an external coil i would go with a gap of like .032. If you are using the stock coil go like .025 (thats what i got them gapped to). Make sure you also get colder plugs.

The reason for this being that under boost the plugs will have a difficult time arcing if you got the stock coil (less voltage), so getting the grounding electrode closer to the center electrode will facilitate the arc.

Good luck with the build. Its great to see another boosted accord. Don't be a teaz, more pics plz

More pics are on the way, as soon as Saturday! ;)

Thank you for your comments! I understand I need colder plugs - I will be running NGK V-Power Copper plugs. Those are 1 or two steps colder I believe, please confirm for me if anyone can. I am using stock coil/OBD2 dizzy, so I assume I will need a 0.025 gap. I have heard varying opinions, therefore I may settle with 0.028, or 0.030 to be safe. I guess it all depends on my specific engine and how it handles itself. I cannot wait. Less than 2 days! :badger:

I ran my original plugs for a couple days and I never had any misfire. That was at about 5psi though. .03 should be fine.

Whats the wastegate you have set to?

I actually have no idea. How can I find out? Do I need to take that lid off the wastegate and check the spring? Are there markings? In addition to this, I will be usina a NXS manual boost controller.

Thanks man, that's what I'm really hoping for :D.

Wow can't wait to see this finished.
