@Fk8td3 жыл бұрын
I thought I’d throw this out there. Why did Honda use a smaller coolant line on the accord? There’s two possibilities . The type r has more turbo cooling due to type fact it’s meant to be a optional track use car and the turbo center section allows more coolant compared to the accord. The only other possibility is that like a thermostat does for an engine you slow down flow enough to cool the engine. A wide open hole with only a gasket and no thermostat can actually make it harder for an engine to cool cause the coolant passes too fast through the radiator and engine block. That’s why just outright removing a thermostat is bad idea. They make different size restricted plates to replace thermostats.

I have a 2019 red sport 2.0 and I love it! I’m thinking about doing the tune E85, downpipe, exhaust etc.. was just wondering how much did all of these parts cost you?? I live in the Dallas Texas area so there aren’t people that I’ve heard about from my hanging around people that can do this kind of stuff,. I sure interested in looking into that but prob won’t get to since no ones around here that does that. I heard you estimate you ran low 13’s or high 12’s that’s dam good!

Yes you can spin the wheels but just driving it normal with the tune is a pleasure and better all around. I don't beat my car at all. But I know I have the power when I need it. Havn't done the turbo yet, for reason's like in this video. I don't want to have to dremel any parts. Or break the bolts. lol And its hella spendy.

Guaranteed your friend will be even more impressed. I just don't get it. This car isn't even a manual transmission, so you can't say its about the "feel of driving." This is just a Honda Accord that is slightly faster than what it was designed to be at the expense of engine life. For the time/effort/money people spend trying to turn a car designed to be an excellent touring car into something it was never intended to be you could have just purchased a Civic Type R and had money to spare. In fact, you could probably buy a Type R for fun and a used accord for daily driving. The entire point of buying a Honda is that it won't become a money pit like german cars. If you are going to turn it into a money pit why not just buy a money pit like a Porsche to begin with? I guess the desire to "customize" things and be "one of a kind" or "unique" is greater than I anticipated.

The tlx type s looks awesome had it not been 2 years out when I bought my accord would have likely bought that instead. My accord is just my family car I tinker with wanted to have a little fun with it and am accomplishing that. For what people think an accord is versus what mine does, it surprises. That's a fun little biproduct of the build but not the why I mod it, so it because working on cars is a passionate hobby of mine. Don't think any of the mods I've done have made significant sacrifices to longevity, transmission would likely be the most at risk but I haven't noticed additional harshness in shifting, time will tell.

My point is that why not just buy the car the way it is and enjoy it for what it is. You will always come out behind financially by spending all this money to make a lesser car into a better car.

And as long as your mostly restoring your engine to a Type R, the reliability should be fine. My only concern is burning more alcohol in an engine that was not designed for it could be a problem. The biggest problem is that ethanol can have a corrosive effect on the fuel system over an extended period of time. And ethanol attracts and absorbs dirt and water far quicker and more easily than gasoline. This could potentially damage and corrode your engine and its parts.
