  1. Honda k-series cam phaser advance

    I understand an RSX type-s RBC cam phaser gives you 50 degrees total which works out as 25 degrees advance and 25 degrees retard. Likewise, a TSX RBB cam phaser gives you 25 degrees total which works out as 12.5 degrees advance and 12.5 degrees retard ( it says 12.5 on the phaser and measures...
  2. Overheating & What You Can Do To Stop It

    Thanks for all the great info which confirms the good things I have heard about guys running these Aquity reverse hoses.

  8. Type R Overheating at the Track

    I agree that it cools down quickly if you back off for 1/2 to 1 full lap or so but as soon as you get on it again it goes full hot almost immediately and you have to pit. My car has a stock tune. It does have a Mishimoto intake besides the Mishimoto intercooler and oil cooler, Koyo rad and ebay...

In the afternoon it went up to 80 degrees and my temp gauge went up past 3/4 hot pushing full hot after 3 laps in my 1st session. It appears my...

Also tried heater full blast, removing the engine belly pan and switching to Motul 8100 5w30 full synthetic but no help when temperatures were over 80 degrees F. If temperatures are in low 70`s or less you can run all day with no problems. Like I said...

  13. FK8 turbo blanket install

    I talked to an engineer friend of mine who worked for a large turbo manufacturer in the U.S. and asked him about his opinion on turbo blankets. He said they are a bad idea. When they endurance tested their turbos they used large fans blowing on the housings to control heat. He said oil coking...
