    I have always run NGK R5671A-7's (4091) in my Accord and love them.

    Every bit of that info was posted only 2 pages ago. I've spent countless hours reading and researching to know what I'm doing here, and I've taken the time to document and share most of that info here on the thread. I'm not inclined to be someone's crutch for information when they haven't...

    We didn't need meth. The intercooler was cool to the touch right after several 300+hp pulls, there were no signs of detonation, and the plugs looked great. You can still read the model numbers on the piston crowns through the spark plug holes. We could have probably gone beyond 450 before any...

    Here ya go. :beer: The motor feels very solid. Needs another valve adjustment to quiet her down, but she's super strong. The rings seated pretty quickly on the dyno and she stopped smoking completely after just a few power pulls.

    Just 93 octane from the station down the road. Thanks. I don't suppose you guys don't want to see the runs at 19lbs huh?

    Yes, I was very pleased that we were able to maintain peak power well above 6k rpm. I was really happy with those first runs too! The extra little compression really helped out. Not planning on upping the boost any more than it is now. 5psi was only wastegate pressure. It sounds like you...

    Preliminary numbers at 5 psi without cam adjustments and minimal timing! 253whp @ 6100, 248wtq @ 4800

    Good info. Unfortunately I don't have a small flex pipe on hand, so the wastegate is just dumping straight down for now. Great info in that link too. Enjoyed reading through it. :)

    Last two nights before tuning! I'm finishing up the mess of wiring for the gauges and EBC tonight. Got the wastegate flange tacked and mocked up the wastegate. Also got the WG dump tube cut and routed, though it's just venting straight down right now. If I get everything done tomorrow with...

    Check valve to prevent boost from entering the brake booster. I think the brake booster has one built in, but I don't know how well it holds up to high pressures, plus this gives me a line to T off of for other vacuum accessories like cruise control.

    You give me too much credit. I installed the engine harness tonight, and I'm dumbfounded by the number of plugs that I have no idea where they belong! lol Here's what i accomplished tonight: -install check valve in line to brake booster -run ground wires -install lower radiator hose...

    I only had a few hours to work on the Accord yesterday before the wife and I left town to make our Thanksgiving rounds, but here's what I accomplished. -repack CV joint for passenger axle and clamp boot in place -install both driver and passenger axles -cut pipes and tack for down-pipe...

    I'll definitely take a video. Whether I'll post it depends on the results. lol Thanks! I'm pretty excited to hear the exhaust myself. Got 90% of it from Columbia River Mandrel. It's 3" the whole way. Thanks! It used to at least. I let a shop weld it based on their price and...

    So here's a quick little update from the past couple weekends. These came in, along with a small OEM parts order of clips and such. I'm currently waiting for an order to arrive that will let me finish up the manifold. At this point I've probably watched at least 4 hours of youtube videos...

    List one mod, that you feel not many people did, that fits your lifestyle

    How do you like this setup? I'm VERY anxious to try mine out once the car is up and running. After I mounted the first caliper, it didn't look right. The bleed valve was pointing down, and the brake line guides were upside down. I ended up putting the right one on the left side and left one...

    The welder who tacked the first two runners is about 30 min south of here. He's stated it's going to take 2.5-3 hours minimum to fully weld it, and charges ~$100/hr; he's not very confident about the collector though. I've contacted another welder about 30 min east of here who will hopefully...

    Took care of several smaller projects this weekend. Tore down the new calipers to bake them. Quite a learning experience trying to get the pistons back in there with the dust boot on, but finally pulled it off! Refinished and repainted my valve cover with plugs and vent bungs installed...

    I have a small MIG with gas, but I took it to a professional with a nice TIG setup. I'll be doing very little welding myself on this manifold.

    Tacked the first two runners successfully and began shaping the second two. Looking at this one makes me think I might need to check clearance with the compressor. Tinkering with different locations for the wastegate. I'm partial to this one.

    Played around with some different configurations tonight since none of my other attempts came close to lining up with the ports on the flange. I finally ended up with this. The two ports fit perfectly, and the whole thing was very symmetrical so I taped it up good until I can tack it. :D...
