Curious if this kit can be adapted to Accord/RDX usage in time. My RDX is running an MHI stage 2 but fuel system limited since there are zero fuel upgrades available at this time short of water/meth injection.
Thanks Mike! I've got the MHI on the RDX now and really enjoy the power delivery. Just wanted to see if anyone has experience with both since on paper they are similar but wanted to see if real world was a little more nuanced.
Does anyone have experience with both of these that could give some feedback? Looking for characteristics like spool time and responsiveness. They would be going on a car with no fuel system upgrade (other than possible water/meth later) so those are the boundaries. Either would have no issue...
Correct, the Accord and RDX are pretty much the same powertrain wise. I've already got a drilled fuel line waiting to go in with a turbo upgrade, but while I was working with Derek to get the current tune he said he wouldn't bother if I'm not doing higher E content or race fuel. Won't be doing...
Considering this upgrade soon for my 2020 RDX. Wasn't sure if this document had made the rounds, not breaking any new ground really but nice to have. Watching closely to see how you guys like the turbo. Very curious what kind of results will be had with a factory fuel system and this since...
It's $988 for the flywheel and Stage 2+ combo: https://twostepperformance.com/spec-inc-proprietary-stage-2-clutch-aluminum-single-mass-flywheel-combo-for-2016-2018-honda-civic-1-5t/
I agree, just letting people know there's an option out there for an inexpensive plug and play set of OEM looking LED if they prefer the appearance of the housing over the function of a retro. I've done retro's in 4 vehicles and output can't be matched by these LED's.
I believe these are the best solution for an LED upgrade, great price also.
$500 for a pair and plug and play for halogen cars with upgraded optics. Look like the OEM LED set.

They have another set thats a big step up but...
If you compare the the slalom/lap/cornering/braking chart of the BF to the chart containing the Michelin you'll find that the Michelin outperformed it in every segment. That's for both wet and dry conditions.
Because when you look over the test data they are a step behind the top tires. They are a great value but if you want the best there are other options.

Be careful when checking reviews, there is both a Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 and a Pilot Sport A/S 3+. The non-plus came out around 2013 and the plus is a newer compound that was released in 2016 and greatly improves on the original. Personally Michelin has had nothing but great product so I'd...
More technical data here. Porsche used a DualBoost in the 919 that destroyed the overall ring record.

Only way I could bare to look at the coupe Si is to get a trunk lid from a standard model to get rid of that wing. Stands out like a sore thumb to me, not in a good way. The sedan is more under the radar and seems to have more cohesive proportions, and I love most coupe's.
