Hi, thought I'd chime in. I don't know if any of you guys have ever seen how they stress test engines, but part of it basically involves the engineers running the engine at various RPMs and seeing how its internals hold up. Since the K & L series has been in production for over 20 years now, I...

Total tuned time: 2 years Tuned miles driven: ~50,000 Tuning device(s) used: KTuner V2 Tunes used: TSP Stage 1 Non-Si Fuel used: 93 wherever I'm filling up Additional related mods: PRL Cobra, Borla S-Type, CM FX100 & SMFW, Acuity Adjustable Short Shifter, Firehawk Indy 500s, Tein street...

Don't usually go faster than 130 during my regular commuting so I think I'll be good No it was minimum like half a mile further down the road it wasn't worth whatever a new one costs to walk back up and grab it As far as Chiraqians go I'm one of the smarter ones considering I haven't died or...

Was cruising on I-90 southbound passing O-Hare the other day when a murdered out FG4 with an exhaust flew by me doing easily 120+. It being close to 11pm, traffic was almost nonexistent all the way to the Austin exit so I dropped it to 4th going 90 and floored it. I was running the TSP Stage 1...

The reason the WRX hustled is because boxer engines are by design very undersquare which lends itself to having torque come on sooner in the powerband. Our Ls are also pretty undersquare as far as honda motors go and with the size of the OEM turbo you'd be hard pressed to find a engine of...

I had the same thing happen on my non-auto-locking hatch. Try wiping off the lil sensors in the door jambs

Condensation in your exhaust, the L15BA doesn't have VTEC. Don't "sprint" until your coolant is around 170F

The flywheel is what chatters, not the clutch. Generally the lighter it is, the more it chatters.

brutal, been freezing for the last 2 weeks, haven't had a chance to wash it and it looks like a peeling 8th gen. headlights are clean because i have to clean them otherwise the weak oem lights cant produce visible illumination. on the plus side the blizzaks are doing me right and shifting at 2k...

the 1.5 does actually not love to spin fast, in fact you'd be hard pressed to break 7000rpm on stock internals, not to mention that it makes peak torque at 2500 rpm and starts to quickly lose it past 5k

No catbacks that I've ever heard in person really do this car justice, the best exhaust setup I've ever heard on a L15BA was a hood dump, but if you want to quiet it down a bit, catless with a 3" straight pipe might be the second best option.

If the trans fluid doesn't do it, might be time to sea foam those intake valves

Running this setup on my hatch atm and I'm lowered on tein springs with no issues

The most crushing thing about it is that Honda didn't even go for a last hurrah as far as ICE goes. Not that there was much to improve on but it's sad that on paper the last non electric type r will go down as an accord with wider tires and a better headunit going for $20k more than the previous...

As long as we're resurrecting a dead thread you can replace the injen for a oem intake and get rid of the bov for the biggest bang for your buck as far as power gains go. 222 is not really stage 2 territory, a true stage 2 would be flex fuel, hood dump or sp, intercooler, drop in turbo, and...

Ended up going with a chinese plug and play headunit instead, oem quality not worth the hassle imo

I would go with the Toyo Proxes R888Rs

Going up to Maryville next month for CHD, what are some other notable mountain roads in the area that would be well suited for spirited driving?

I went with Honda Genuine but have noticed a significant amount of crunches and grinds so probably gonna go with Amsoil next time

As far as driving with the CVT goes, keep it in S and spam the shit out of the downshift paddle to stay in the powerband
