i ran my car on the dyno today and i got 57HP/42KW, my car is piss weak!!

**gr3k0sLaV** · 12-14-2002, 06:31 AM

shit dude, that's far less than what it should be stock! fuck my would thump yours any day! .... i managed to beat a standard VL non turbo with my car, i can beat lasers, Cordia GSL's easy! and a few others, i magaged to beat my friend who drives a VH commodore! 2.6 litre inline 6! so easy! low end he was having the edge but within seconds mine just pulled right past and left him behind!

dude i run just my own custom intake, and that's it...and well yer, that's it.

**Toby** · 12-14-2002, 10:13 PM

do you think it is because of the high KM it has done. 226,000KM??

**Toby** · 12-14-2002, 10:23 PM

stock power at the engine is 85KW, if you calculate that it should equal 68KW at the wheels. 85x.8=68.
There was also a Proton GTi there and it got 60KW at the wheels and if you calculate tha it should equal 88KW at the wheels. 103x.85=88
I think the dyno was to hot so it was giving fals readings, it was a very hot day and there was about 50 cars that got dynoed.

**gr3k0sLaV** · 12-14-2002, 11:58 PM

well mine has done 137,000 funnily enough my mates 98 VT has done 138,000 and it's 10 years newer !

Your car sounds like it needs a tune up, new plugs, get a bigger ignition coil, regap your plugs a litte larger from .044 to 0.05

rip off all the stock factory intake shit, make a short ram intake, i used piping from the original, a cone filter to make one, shits all over the orginal.

get your timing advanced a bit, new spark plug cables, new fuel filter, new oil & filter....get all that shit done...

**Toby** · 12-15-2002, 05:25 PM

i have got new:
spark plugs
spark plug wires
oil and filter

i have also got a civic intake pipe with pod

**Toby** · 12-15-2002, 05:26 PM

your friend sure loves driving.

**sanjay** · 12-16-2002, 08:47 PM

how do i go about making a cheap intake pipe for me?
I just bought a pod filter, but how do I make the intake itself?

**gr3k0sLaV** · 12-17-2002, 03:23 AM

well the accord will be going to be replaced by a starion turbo...

buy a 92 civic intake pipe from SIMOTA or get a exhaust shop to make one up or there is a how to on this site. i was lazy so i just got the civic intake pipe from SIMOTA and cut 4" off the end.

**Toby** · 12-17-2002, 05:42 PM

turbo goodness

**sanjay** · 12-18-2002, 02:09 AM

hahahahah
thanks for the tip, i might get an exhaust shop to bend me up one!

**Toby** · 12-29-2002, 03:02 AM

i really want a turbo.

**gr3k0sLaV** · 12-29-2002, 03:37 AM

possibly may be selling the accord as early as next week, just waitng to see the $$$

**sanjay** · 12-29-2002, 04:04 AM

i'd like a h22a with v-tec + twin turbo, fuel management system etc.

......mmmm..... power......mmmm.... speed......

**Toby** · 12-29-2002, 04:16 AM

with motec exhaust :lol

**Toby** · 12-29-2002, 04:18 AM

the h22 sure is one mighty fine engine. you would be better off having one big turbo then 2 little turbos.

**Toby** · 12-29-2002, 04:19 AM

unless you want to run it like the subaru libarty B4 one turbo is for low rpms and the other for high rpms.

**sanjay** · 12-30-2002, 05:15 AM

i dunno, haven't thought bout it too much,
gr3k0slav, sold the accord yet?
I think i might get cold air intake rather than short ram...
i sold the pod filter anyways... everyone told me, sucking in hot air sucks ass and it would decrease performance....

**Toby** · 12-30-2002, 05:48 AM

true, i only keep it on because i love the new exhaust note it sounds so sweet!! what are yous doing for new years eve?? have a good one anyway.

**sanjay** · 01-06-2003, 05:58 AM

I went to a lookout where i could see the whole goldcoast. You?
When are you guys comming to GoldCoast? or near here?

**gr3k0sLaV** · 01-06-2003, 07:28 AM

well i might when i have some money to spare, atm

i'm burning it!!!

im actually toying with an idea, once i rip the tc06 off the stazza ill have a spare turbo, and if i keep the accord longer .... hmmm. just slap together a low boost setup. 5psi, do some minor upgrades and sell.
