Hey Guys,

I've just purchased a 2013 Accord Euro Luxury and was wondering if there are any good performance mods i can install to up the Killer Wasps :p

Any thing on the cheaper side would be great to start off with but i would also liek to hear any experiences with forced induction.

Thanks Guys :D

Hey Hunter!
I like what you are talking about!
I am working towards getting the CTE supercharger for my 2012.
It's a process man, but after I have completed it I am happy to share the process.
You will need to start by getting an ECU from a US Acura TSX, in order to use a FlashPro to tune the SC.
I can help you with this, I happen to have a spare one!

Regarding other mods, nothing is cheap, most stuff will have to come from US, check out www.heeltoeauto.com they have some good stuff.
I got a Fujitsubo exhaust, Takeda CAI, Skunk2 Alpha Header from them

I remember from what Fredoops said, the 2 bang for buck mods are the ecu reflash and light weight pulleys replacement.

Chassis and suspension mods that I have are TEIN coil overs, Hardrace front and rear control arms, and full set of ultra racing chassis bars.
For anyone interested, the ultra racing stuff for accord 08+ models fits our euros, same subframe.
With this shit you can take corners fast as you please

Hmm, sounds interesting, thanks for the ideas, just need to pool some quiche together to put it all in :D

Went from driving a 350GT Skyline to this so the power difference is a shock to the system :p.

Headers,exhaust/intake mods and retune will bridge the gap

Performance mod for cu2 is.... not much.

Intake and a downpipe (header) is pretty much it.

Unless you start talking supercharging.

since intake doesn't do anything, what header do you recommend, I've heard that getting a Acura TSX ECU and having it reflashed is another way to go, do you know anything about that?

Thanks again

There is only 1 for the cu2.
Skunk2 alpha.

And it's not a real header. More of a downpipe. So dont expect miracles in afraid

The head design for cu2 is fked

Mine is not a CU2, but CL9. Even after the following mods: Cold air feed short ram intake, intake manifold gasket, aftermarket headers, lightweight flywheel, helical LSD, Tein Flex coilovers, rear sway bar, camber kit, Project Mu brake pads, DBA 4000 series rotors and AD08 tyres, sad to say that the best performance mod would be a used 350GT!

Still love the Euro and I'm keeping it as my daily, but I'm also looking for a fun weekend (used) car when I have the funds to afford it.

There is another one from RV6 where you can choose to go with either test pipe or HFC.

Dont need to get the USDM ECU. Just buy the (official) AUDM Flashpro and get VitViper to tune it. He is one of the best around.

Are you talking about pre facelift CU2 <2011? Because I have confirmed from various sources including Hondata, that there is no Flashpro compatible for 2012> CU2, and nothing planned for one. Please provide your source for "official AUDM Flashpro", thanks.

Sorry. Just found out AUDM Flashpro doesnt support +11. Revzone doesnt mention which years the FP supports so i always assume it supports all CU2.

Oi anyone had any experience with the flashpro and us tsx ecu?
I'd like to get them but I'm concerned about compatibility
Like do I get a pre 2011 tsx ecu? Must it be manual?
Would love to bugger off the annoying throttle delay.

last i checked (and this was a while ago) flashpro didnt support a lot of the AUDM CU2's

have you checked ktuner see if they support your ecu part number (www.ktuner.com)

IM not sure if it's economical to swap CU2 ecu's from AUDM to USDM for flashpro, as in i dunno if it'd even work properly.

Hey guys,

I haven't driven the Euro in a while now as its been passed down in the family but did yesterday and noticed that there's nearly no power at all. When I put my foot right down to the floor, it doesn't accelerate very fast. It's only when you push your foot all the way down past that point where there's haptic feedback that the car drops a gear and feels kind of fast. Is that normal?

reset ecu and try again, might be because it's stuck in a weired ignition/fuel table.

LOOKING FOR REFLASH ECU?
