  1. Rust proofing GTA area

    I'm down in Chicago and there are none. I used to use and apply Fluid film annually under the entire car. This would eventually wash off from the car washes and snow melts and dissipate by spring time. I switched over to using Amsoil HD Metal Protector. Its cosmoline and comes in a 15oz can...
  2. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    Congrats! I still have another 450 miles to put on my EMAN CTR retrofit clutch as per break in period before I get tuned. Using the provided KTuner W1 tune I would slip at WOT anywhere above 4K RPMS in first and second. With the Type R clutch there is no slip and it feels smooth, is quiet and...
  3. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    For me I'm walking the line of adding that fun factor power while still wanting to maintain that long term reliability for which there isn't an exact formula of this balance. I've read many posts of people with engine problems (blown engines etc...) and it seems the majority of the cases always...
  4. Magic Collar Subframe Collars

    About 4 hours for the front and 3 for the rear. I was taking my time and not rushing and taking the occasional break as lying in the driveway even on carpet can get tiring. Since you can't simply take all the bolts out at once, or the subframe will fall out of the car it takes time loosening and...
  5. Magic Collar Subframe Collars

    Thanks a bunch for this tip! I installed the Magic Collars in my driveway over the weekend with a pair of floor jacks and jackstands. Was time consuming but I wanted to be safe and followed your tip to remove the brackets on both sides when doing the rear install. I will say that mod alone has...
  6. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    Hey hey buddy! Thanks! Engineering degree led to an career in software/IT. But more for me is having the time to able to prioritize my interests so my secret is to stay kid-free! Compared to my friends I can travel when I want, focus on my car and truck builds and not have to worry about forming...
  7. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    This car is not my daily driver however I've put about 2k miles on the turbo and PRL - DP/FP/Intercooler/Race CAI and have been using the supplied tune in KTuner that matches this exact setup. I've gotten on it hard many times and as expected with the stock clutch it slips. So no unexpected...
  8. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    No you need to reuse the existing oil drain thin metal gasket and be very careful not to bend it when removing it from the turbo. Its kind of tricky because it sticks so I used a flat screw driver to remove it but was not careful enough to be cautious not to bend it. Second time around I would...
  9. FS MAPerformance Intake for SI - PART# MAP HDAX-IN

    Selling my intake $200. Less than a 1000 miles on it. Switched to a PRL Race CAI to match the W1 Turbo race tune available. Don't need it anymore! Will ship, dm for more info Here is MAP URL for info ->...
  10. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    My stock clutch has been holding up fine over the past 8 months since I installed the turbo along with FP/DP, FMIC and Cobra CAI. But I am also very aware of the slipping issue and have experienced it on accelerating from a stop on summer Indy 500 tires a few times already. So try and tone down...
  11. FS Ktuner V1.2 with TSP STG 1 and 2

    Thanks for quick response and fast shipping! The speaker is in excellent condition!!
  12. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    Thanks for the heads up on the break in period as I will have to talk to DRob about this. That could change my plans as I'd have to get the clutch installed from a reputable and preferably Honda exclusive/expert shop in Chicago area prior to making my trip out to DRobs shop in Pa. Organic clutch...
  13. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    I'm still using the included KTuner - 27Won Turbo Upgrade RACE tune still on stock clutch which has been fine. I have EMANs Type-R flywheel/clutch retrofit kit still boxed up in my garage with the intention of making a road trip to DRob's shop for the clutch install and tune. However I think I...
  14. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    Sorry I missed responding to this months ago! The install took me about 21 hours. That also includes installing a new PRL Cobra Race Intake as well as PRL FP/DP since the originals had to come off anyway as well as learn how to load the proper tune via KTuner. I took my time didn't want to rush...
  15. Finally got the spare tire kit installed

    I made my own spare kit minus the scissor jack (for now) since I have roadside assistance. Roadside is included in my Allstate insurance plan and can call them for the floor jack and labor while avoiding a tow and using my own spare and hardware. I found others on this site successfully used the...
  16. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    I was in Community Honda or Orland Park, IL this weekend looking at Accords but happened to see a new 2019 CTR on the showroom floor and asked sales about their markup. They add $3k to MSRP to sell. They add all weather mats, sun visor and about 6 other "extras" that nobody wants to try to...
  17. WTB Map intake for 2018 civic si

    Did you ever find one? I'm about to post both an Injen Black SP1581BLK and a MAPerformance MAP HDAX-IN Stainless green filter for sale. Injen used less than 500 miles and MAP intake used for 1k miles before I switched over to PRL Cobra

  19. Just installed 27Won W1 turbo!

    Ok, bear with me because I'm still learning KTuner functionalities. On KTuner there are 4 high level 27Won W1 tunes available. 2 for 93 octane and 2 for ethanol fuel. I'm not going to run ethanol so I didn't look at those tunes. That leaves the two 93 octane tunes. One is for non-Race CAI and...
