    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    Some bitter sweet news... Stopped by the shop after work with the block and pistons so the machinist could double-check my measurements. Sure enough, he said they appeared to be gapped to the maximum specs by Wiseco for a blown race engine with nitrous. He remembered going over the spec sheet...

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    On the recommendation of a friend, I chose to resurface and soften the edges of the pistons. This should allow for better air flow and flame travel for a more efficient burn, as well as reducing the potential for hot spots on the edges that can cause detonation under high loads. I took care of...

    Anyone know who owns this Accord?

    Ok, glad I'm not the only one who was offended by his stupidity and arrogance. The kid needs to learn some humility and realize his car is completely half-assed. He's doing a great job of making the Accord community look like douche bags...

    Re: ★ Russianred's Turbo Build Thread! ★ *UPDATED 3/4/12* ★ I'm thinkin about picking one of these up from eBay. If it doesn't clear AC and PS, I'll just have to hack it up and make it work. :jae:

    Manual transmission problem

    Can you feel that the shifter is going fully into the gear? My first inclination would be shifter cables are kinked, but I don't recall reading about you messing with them previously. I would still watch them at the trans and make sure they aren't binding while someone shifts through the...

    Head swap before honda day?

    This. Stock headgasket is 1mm over cylinder bore. F23 would be 87mm, so unless you're going 87.5 or larger, OEM will do fine. Just FYI. This is a perfect way to detect leaky valve seals. I just replaced mine, and I think the parts themselves were less than $10. If they're proven to be...

    hard/rough shifting?

    For those who have recently swapped to the 5-speed, after verifying there is no air in the line, I would check your adjustment from the pedal to the MC, and verify the SC is extending far enough.

    Going for a re-tune.... (Round #2) Updated 10/28/13

    Re: Going for a re-tune.... So was your dual pod a separate piece that you molded into the OEM piece or is the whole thing aftermarket? You did consider the dual pod that fits in the instrument cluster right? I think you said you didn't have a fourth gauge to use in it? I currently have that...

    Going for a re-tune.... (Round #2) Updated 10/28/13

    Re: Going for a re-tune.... Is your current A-pillar a dual pod? I could only find the full trim replacement in 3-gauge options, but I only wanted two gauges so I ended up buying a clip-on piece. I haven't sized it to the OEM panel yet, but I'm sure I won't like the fitment when I do get...

    best clutch?

    It's more of a cumulative experience thing, and the rewards of experience don't come without some failures. Everyone has to start somewhere, I'm just a few failures ahead of most people. :thumbsup:

    best clutch?

    All of my clutch failures (with the exception of one OE clutch that wore out) have been due to either the disc springs becoming dislodged or the disc actually separating from the hub altogether. I believe the XTD was subject to the former. But I have also heard the same about their stage 1 & 2...

    best clutch?

    That's odd considering 6-puck clutch discs generally don't require break-in. I ran an XTD at one point. Don't recall exactly how that one ended, but that likely means I wasn't impressed with its performance.

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    Honda's final spec for the bolts is 58ft/lb. I don't know exactly what ARP's spec is, but I want to say it was a little less, between 48 and 54ft/lb. Either way, you can't compare torque specs between studs and bolts. There are many factors like the friction loss by twisting a bolt into the...

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    Thanks. I just have to get past making my oil clearances spot-on and it should be smooth sailing afterwards! You'll have to get the mains bored where the crank sits. Those holes will squish slightly with the ARP studs and will no longer be round within spec. http://youtu.be/Rs-WO5CfLno

    BIG UPDATE!! (Used Car Dealership Commercial Voice) Received my new parts from Honda, picked up the block, and dropped off the heads to the shop. On to the photos! Pretty much every seal, gasket and bolt from the throttle body to the oil pan. I LOVE seeing those little red and white tags...

    best clutch?

    That's true as well, though my experiences (twice now) have been that the head of the pivot bolt broke off before the release fork was bent. :( Regardless, it ends up in the same poor situation. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that's the reason I hard-wired my clutch pedal release-switch...

    best clutch?

    When most people describe a more heavy duty clutch, they are referring to two completely different things at once. 1. Pedal pressure 2. Clutch engagement Akoutmos described clutch engagement and how that affects driveability. The aspect of pedal pressure varies greatly between manufactures...

    best clutch?

    That is just the effect from having more torque at idle than the F23. (and probably a little more inertia from higher mass of the larger rotating assembly and maybe a heavy(ier) flywheel, or it could be as simple as having a higher idle too) That just means it takes more resistance to bog down...
