    Accord Has Been Stolen!

    lol. i wish it worked that way. i'd rather not get into legal problems with the insurance company as they do technically own the vehicle. But the idea has crossed my mind. I no longer live in CA. After the car theft I had pretty much had it in the bay area. I'm back in New England now so...

    Accord Has Been Stolen!

    So...after a year of being gone my Accord has finally turned up. Mostly all together, some minor things here and there missing, but more or less all together. Now the f*cked up part of this is, my insurance company won't sell it back to me. They already paid out the stolen car last year so they...

    FS: OEM H22A Head Gasket

    Given that my Euro R powered Accord was stolen...I don't have much need for this replacement H22A head gasket :(. $50 bucks SHIPPED takes the OEM H22 head gasket

    Accord Has Been Stolen!

    Thanks for the support guys. Hopefully it shows up in decent shape. Given the parts on it though...i feel like when it is found it'll be a shell :sad:

    FMU topic

    When i did my first turbo build 12 years ago and didn't know much I ran an FMU and some other crap parts. Don't do it! Doing it right may cost a bit more money, but you'll have a reliable car and one that works. These hacks don't actually work. My stock block F23A5 was running 15psi (switched...

    FMU topic

    What does your setup look like? I would do it right and get some bigger injectors, a fuel pump, and a programmable ecu or piggy back. FMUs are a hack. What are you doing to control ignition timing?

    Keeping the boost alive! Good work. Soon as things settle down over here, i should put some Mahle pistons in the Euro R motor and boost it :P

    goop in intake

    I made a sheet metal one here: http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24027 But if you look at the first pic in that post, My previous can was made out of PVC pipe and PVC end caps with a filter from autozone. Did the job great for years.

    straight pipe for the 4cyl

    We'll have to wait and see what the piping size is, but my argument is that the stock ECU and it's fuel economy and emissions controls are what yielded these results. Seeing as the OP says that the spacer fixed the issues.

    straight pipe for the 4cyl

    The loss of power and adverse affects I would say are from the measures the ECU is taking after seeing secondary O2 sensor readings. If the motor was tuned with a programmable ECU which doesn't make fuel and ignition adjustments for the sake of fuel economy and emissions, i would think your...
