This thread will explain how to install the Japanese designed ignition boosters for pretty much all K-series Honda's made up till 2008, not sure about post 2008 thats your 7th gen accords both euro and widebody, 2nd gen CRV's, RB odysseys etc.
Background:
Most people knows a thing or 2 about ignition voltage boosters. they're claimed to improve performance, so im not going to go into that here.
But I will say this... Raizin rarely sells a dud product.. and this ignition product was actually DEVELOPED and TESTED ON A JDM K-series:
28375
Now, there are TWO designs covered here in the DIY
T1R V2 Plus Ignition Booster (http://www.speedstar-racing.com/store/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/428?osCsid=cfc9f5028f7ea86083591b76c010cd41)
28373
and
RAIZIN SPARK TypeS (http://pivotjp.com/product/raizin/raizin-s-e.html)
28374
THEY ARE THE SAME THING UNDERNEATH
T1R is made in Japan and so is Raizin.
It is most likely T1R product is made by Raizin in Japan
The RAIZIN SPARK TypeS had been out of production in japan for a few years now, but you can still buy them on ebay, they are Chinese copies, not saying it doesnt work, but if you want the real made in Japan product... Buy T1R (which ironically is Canadian brand)
EDIT: well they're both out of production, but there are still T1R's around in stock at places
How to install:
Step 1, assemble the bits, just connect the red wires together (the wire with a "fuse" looking thing on the end) and tape up the yellow wire (make sure it's fully taped so it wont short out anywhere):
this step is same for both Raizin and T1R, even their wire colours are identical...

Step 2, prepare the grounding wire connector

THIS STEP IS FOR T1R ONLY, the Raizin one already has a better connector (U shape instead of O shape) so no preparation necessary:

Step 3, locate and expose the fusebox.
NOT in the engine bay, for honda's, we're putting it in the interior

Step 3a, know which fuse you'll be replacing

Step 4, connect the ground, by sticking your head UNDER the dash, look above the OBD2 Port and the Main relays, you'll see an exposed hole where you can screw in a 10mm bolt

Step 5, replace the "Ignition Coil" fuse" with the red wire (with a fuse looking thing in the end)

Step 6, replace the fuse box lid, and secure the ignition booster with double sided tape
