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

    Maxbore throttle body came in today. Still not much progress to report since I'm moving out of my house this week. Painted some of the engine brackets with POR-15 which turned out quite well. Since I'll be moving up to 3" exhaust, I'll be selling my custom 2.5" exhaust. It's one big...

    FS: Garrett T3/T4 57 Trim Turbo BNIB

    Selling my Garrett turbo. I just bought this brand new from Greg at Go-Autoworks; it's only been out of the box once for this photo. Hybrid T3/T4 .63 a/r 57 trim. I've decided to go with a different turbo better suited to my goals, and returning this one would cost me a 25% restocking fee...

    FS: Another Part Out

    How bad are those scratches on the rear bumper cover? Are there any more scratches? Is it an OEM piece?

    Today's project: venting the valve cover. I've drilled out the rivets holding the baffle cover in place from an old valve cover to have a look see at the baffles. There is a lot more to the baffling than I expected! It looks like I might want to drill out the cover in my good VC to ensure I get...

    No way!! haha Not with the weight and lack of suspension on this car. Realistically, I'd love to touch 400 at the wheels, and see somewhere around 12.5 second quarter-mile. Remember I'm still limited by stock sleeves, poor gearing, and sheer weight.

    Small update tonight. Installed the oil and water pumps. Also received the crank pulley holder, copper gasket spray, and form-a-gasket fuel safe sealant that I ordered to replace the teflon tape on the fuel rail fitting. I <3 Amazon Prime shipping. :)

    Got the rotating assembly assembled in the block last night. Hopefully all my measurements and torque specs were dead on, there's no going back now! Today I've been working on the transmission assembly and fuel rail. Here are the main and countershafts after assembly. I...

    Firstly, price. MFactory LSD's run $350 less than Quaife. Secondly, everything I've read from dealers and installers of Honda transmission components seem to echo the same findings when comparing the two differentials. Quaife parts are always in spec straight from the box (ie. very little...

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

    Re: Going for a re-tune.... (updated 7/30/12 -- Dyno vid & info on Page 38) Devin, I had a slow day at work, so I decided to plot the torque on your dyno chart. Assuming by your speed they did a 3rd gear pull, it seems to fall right on target with a ~6250 redline. (You're still using the stock...

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

    Re: Going for a re-tune.... (updated 7/30/12 -- Dyno vid & info on Page 38) I was actually thinking the L series might be better suited to your needs. He rates his in-house stuff in whp. "Dyno tested to efficiently flow well up to 550whp." How do you like your clutch? I've been...

    I drilled a small hole in the end of the fuel rail this evening and used an EZ out to try to remove the brass plug without luck. I ended up measuring the plug, which came out to a hair under 7/16". The drill bit for a 1/4 NPT tap is 7/16", so I'm just going to drill the entire thing out and...

    Thanks. I'm very satisfied with Go-Auto's service, prices, and quality products. I had a spreadsheet made up with mostly components from vibrant performance, but Go-Auto practically cut my total spent in half. If Greg doesn't have something listed on his website, you can shoot him an e-mail...

    Re: Going for a re-tune.... (updated 7/30/12 -- Dyno vid & info on Page 38) Look up the R and L series intercoolers from Go-Autoworks. Greg's an upstanding guy and stands behind everything he sells. I picked up the R model from him for my build. http://WWW.GO-AUTOWORKS-STORE.COM/goin.html

    Found the nice NGK's at Sparkplugs.com. Just wish they weren't blue! Got some mail today from MFactory, Innovate, and POR. I've got to find something constructive to do with all these giant stickers!!
