Little updates...

Hey all,

Just chipping in with what I've been up to lately with the R.  I've replaced fuel filter, did my regular 5k service, changed master cylinder, flushed clutch system, spark plugs, checked valve clearances, and been doing little tests on the Accord.

I'm currently planning on changing my resonators in hope that would fix the low power output problem so I can take it for another tune.  Updates in a while again :)

Bad News But Optimistic Outlook

Hey all,

So I went for my Crome tune last February and to my shock the tune came out really bad in terms of how my motor performed!  With all the mods and the new ecu and fuel mapping it only mustered 125kw!!! After some trial and error with changing fuel to BP 98 octane gasoline, still no luck.

However, before calling it a day, decided to have one last try, decided to switch the stock intake back on. Low and behold, it made nearly 8kw!!!!!! Gutted that my bling intake combo was just not up to scratch. Lesson learned here, sometimes, stock intake is best.

So the last run made 132.8kw.  Wasn't great, but a good gain.  However, Sam did say there's a good 10-15kw missing still so have to give the motor a good check.

So my plans now are to work on the motor within the next two months:

-Oil and filter change
-Transmission fluid change
-New panel air filter
-Cambelt change
-Water pump
-Hydraulic tensioner
-Seal kits
-Spark plugs
-Brake pads
-Tappet adjustments
-New higher flow exhaust resonators

This should do the trick on getting the motor healthy again and getting those ponies back!  I'll update soon as I slowly order in the parts and I will undergo a re-tune and hopefully things will get better!
