@@KiwiCarLife little bit over two months of ownership impressions. I’m shocked that a little 2L motor can clock the speedo. As you said, the steering really is numb. I’m not sure if that’s poor alignment or stock suspension but the electronic steering really isn’t it. It’s like I turn hard into a corner but the car wants to do it’s own thing. Otherwise, it’s a good mix between performance and daily car. Love your videos bro. Keep up the awesome work

Not really sure how the steering feel can be improved tbh, but yeah it's a case of the CL9 is the better car on paper, but the euro r's engine just has so much zing. It just feels special and unique, whereas the CL9 is just not quite the same. I'm sure with a few mods to increase the redline of the K24 it would be just as good. But there's something to be said for 8600rpm in a family sedan

@vando12673 жыл бұрын
Dyno tune in his Accord is going to require an ECU from an 07-08 model year + the CAN adapter. It’s quite expensive to go down that route unfortunately, but would be great content for the channel.

Not necessarily, the stock ECU is still tuneable, that's how people are able to do reflashes on it. I'll be getting it on a dyno at some point but I'd have to go to Auckland to do it so not till covid blows over

@@KiwiCarLife for the USDM TSX, the 04-06 ECUs can only be reflashed as it’s not supported by Hondata Flashpro and Ktuner. The 07-08 ECU is different and can be used to load custom tunes. Not sure if the ECUs in your region were set up any differently than the US market.

As for the intake temp and knock, did you re-tune the engine after you had the cold-air intake installed? It could be having trouble with the added flow. As these engines measure the amount of air by intake temp (density) and flow (MAF). Your modification, compared to stock, has a lower temperature and less flow. So it misreads the amount of air going into it. The intake temperature could be one way it would indicate this error, since it doesn't expect the ducting to have changed and it could think the flow is within spec. You can start by reading out the Live data if it's misfiring, or excessively trimming fuel (Long Term/Short Term fuel trims).
@KiwiCarLife3 жыл бұрын
That's true actually... didn't think of that. Will see if a retune fixes it
@The_Noticer.3 жыл бұрын
@@KiwiCarLife By less flow I mean, the diameter could be higher, and then the air speed is slower. The ECU based on MAF+ITT would think less air is entering, because it's calculating for a different diameter tube and inject the wrong amount of fuel (in this case, too much). It will then maybe spit out this code, i dont know what the scenario for the fault code is, i'd have to look. Usually though, any engine modification you do, requires a retune by a specialist, to remap it for this new intake/exhaust geometry. We are not in the carb days anymore, sadly :)
@vando12673 жыл бұрын
The SergeBo tune you have was developed to account for a CAI so a retune wouldn’t fix the IAT sensor issue. I would recommend cleaning the IAT or replacing that sensor altogether.
@The_Noticer.3 жыл бұрын
@@vando1267 replacing a sensor based on absolutely no live data analysis is what parts cannon mechanics do. Besides, these days the IAT is combined with the MAF, which is very expensive on a Honda. You verify it with WOT engine efficiency, or idle gr./sec usage if it's out of spec before you start throwing parts at it.... And not every CAI is the same, any change in diameter throws the ECU off.
@vando12673 жыл бұрын
@@The_Noticer. Good point. It would be wise to hook up a scan tool to confirm if the IAT temperature readings are off before replacing that part. However, given that the ECU was reflashed with an aftermarket tune that already accounts for a larger Intake, I would rule out the CAI being the culprit unless the CEL was reported on day 1 or the CAI developed a leak somewhere (but that shouldn’t throw an IAT CEL). Also, I’m not 100% certain if the Accord Euro overseas has a MAF, but the USDM TSX does not have one. Only has an IAT and MAP sensors on the intake side and an OE IAT is only ~$40 USD online.

I have a CL9 and an 8th gen Si. After some time I realized I have much more fun in my Si!! More power and torque is cool, but in these cars I only see the engine as a compliment to the nimble approach honda has made in their design for these cars overall(because the CL7 and 9 are just big, wide and heavy). Every component has something that is geared more towards quickness rather than speed, it adds up and I think it creates that feel you describe.

Yeah so basically here's a quick rundown: Accord Euro = NZ New Accord - 140kW 2.4L engine - available as 5AT or 6MT. Our cars are called the "Accord Euro" because we got the V6 Accord, and the smaller European accord so they needed a way to distinguish them. Accord = JDM import - Has either a 119kW 2.0L or 148kW 2.4L engine (Type S). Just called the Accord because our "Accord V6" was called the Inspire over there. Accord Euro R = JDM import - Uses a 162kW high performance 2.0L engine. Effectively the Accord Type R from the mid 00's
