    Bouncing RPMs/stutter just under 3000K

    Hello all. I have a 2000 manual with a built motor and a turbo setup. The built motor only has about 3,000 miles on it. I've been experiencing a problem with stutter and bouncing RPMs lately. There are no issues at idle, but while steadily driving anywhere from 25-45 mph, and mostly in any gear...

    LSD Options?

    Hey all. I currently have a boosted 6th gen manual F23 running just under 300hp. I'm looking to purchase and install an LSD, specifically the Wavetrac model. According to their website, and that of Quiafe for that matter, they both list a compatible part for the 94-97 Accord as well as the 97-01...

    2000 Coupe Project

    So I spent today gapping my piston rings. Totally f'n up one, by gapping it too big, around 0.028. Ordered another set so I'm not worried about it considering this is my first build. My question is this. I have a 86.5mm bore and I'm running Wiseco K20 pistons, part #K568M865. According to...

    2000 Coupe Project

    Deciding on clutch/flywheel set ups. Looking to go with either ACT's HA3-HDG6 - HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad or their HA3-XTSS - XT/Perf Street Sprung. They're rated for 355 and 385 lb/tq, respectively. Also looking to go with Fidanza's 8.5 lb flywheel or ACT's 12.6 lb XACT Streetlite. Looking for...

    2000 Coupe Project

    As I wind down buying parts for this project, which has been months in the making, I'm now deciding on a clutch. I am currently looking at this one http://www.advancedclutch.com/ha3-hdg6 I think it'll be well over my desired power goals and will still offer a low pedal feel. Trying to keep...

    00 Accord Throttle Body?

    Hello all. Looking for some guidance. Currently in the process of building an F23 for boost. Planning on doing a full internal build to include Crower rods and Wiseco K20 pistons. I've spent the past few days cleaning a used intake manifold (stock F23) to use. I was thinking about purchasing a...

    2000 Coupe Project

    Thank for the compliment! I've always loved this car. Drives nice, feels nice, looks nice. I've been doing my fair share of research on building this motor for a turbo. Hopefully everything turns out well. I can't take all the credit, most of what I want or learned is from AFACCORD'S build. I'm...

    2000 Coupe Project

    Well considering my above mentioned build and HP goals (300-350) and boost, was wondering if the 70mm would be worth it.

    2000 Coupe Project

    Was wondering if you guys had any experience with a BBK 70mm TB? Also by increasing the throttle body, would work need to be done on the intake? I just picked up a used intake manifold for dirt cheap and am going to be cleaning, polishing and prepping it. Would like to know if a bigger TB would...

    2000 Coupe Project

    Thanks for the compliment. One of the wheels have a dent in them, however it hasn't seemed to drastically effect balancing in the past. I'd love to get them professionally redone, however the going rate here in New England is about $250/wheel. They look good enough now to hold off on that. And...

    2000 Coupe Project

    Hey thank you! Appreciate it. I tried to upload some pictures on the Members Ride Forum, however it has a 19 KB size limit. Not sure if it's because I'm a new member or what. However I just created an album in my profile with some pictures if you'd like to take a look...

    2000 Coupe Project

    Hello everyone. I'm starting to piece together a rebuild/turbo build for my 2000 coupe. I've had the car for 12 years and have taken extremely good care of it. I've got the car exactly how I want it except for the engine. It has 180K on it, so a rebuild with performance internals are in order if...

    Need Advice for F23A4 Turbo Options

    @x5carl3tMurd3rx, all you have replaced is the pistons, and you're running 10 PSI? I'm really not looking to get crazy, although everyone says boost is addictive. I love driving the car as it is, just want a little kick. It does have 185K on it which was my concern. You mind asking your setup...
