    More courteous alternative to horn honk?

    I have a Compustar alarm already. I'm not looking for any features, I'm looking for the sound.

    More courteous alternative to horn honk?

    Does anyone know if the 'noise making device' on these cars could be purchased and wired up, or if it's part of a more complicated unit?

    More courteous alternative to horn honk?

    Looking for a setup similar to what Toyota has with their quiet 'chirp' when locking and unlocking the doors. I know wiring will have to be redone to accomplish this. Anyone seen it done before?

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

    Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt) Well, I have a box of stock pistons and rods that I just pulled out in the garage, and I should have a set of stock K20 pistons and rods somewhere around here too. Shouldn't they both come out just by heating the piston in hot water and...

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

    Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt) None of the forged pistons I've found run a wrist pin offset. K20 pistons are the same 30mm comp height, and same wrist pin as F23's. Even the rods have nearly identical specs, except they're 2mm shorter. I was certain F23's use floating...

    Muffler vs resonator

    It all depends what kind of resonator you run. I've had good results with the long (20") cherry bomb style resonators, but the packing burns out quickly. My favorite resonator so far is the Vibrant Ultra-quiet model. Provides lots of muffling, and hasn't burned out on me...

    Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt) lol, Like I said earlier, I'm really not out to do anything that hasn't already been done here. I am exploring other possible options for pistons and rods, but nothing ground breaking. Besides, I don't have access to anywhere near the...

    Muffler vs resonator

    That setup was a high-flow cat, tube resonator, magnaflow single-in, dual-out muffler with pipes run to the back. It didn't have much of a tone to it really. It was kind of throaty in a 4.6 Mustang sort of way, except not as deep or rumbly, if that makes sense. Not sure I'd call it an echo.

    Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt) Nope, I WAS actually referring to main studs. I think I understand what you're saying though. So I'll need to give the shop the studs to torque down before the line bore? My power goals are listed in the first post, around 310whp is the...

    Front Exhaust Pipe - ULEV vs non-ULEV

    ULEV manifold is a shorter 4-1 design while the LEV manifold is a longer 4-2-1 design. If I recall correctly, they both bolt up to the same down pipe. The part numbers are different for the down pipes, but I'm 90% certain they're the same thing.

    Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt) Got most of stuff off the block tonight. Pulled the axles out of the hubs, pulled the engine harness off, and pulled the header off. Hopefully I'll have some help tomorrow to pop the axles out of the tranny and half-shaft, unbolt the motor...

    Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt) Yeah, I'm borderline paranoid about the machine work that needs to be done. My biggest concern is initial start-up and break-in. Any issues with assembly will be obvious then, and longevity of the engine should be apparent at that point...

    Re: N/A to FI: AFAccord's Modest Turbo Build (attempt) Nope, kept it around to beat on every now and then. I replaced every bushing, endlink and ball joint in the suspension a couple months ago and it was riding soo smoothly and quiet. I think that's what made me want to 'fix' everything...
