Dazz Euro

Hey, dont know if anyone has posted this before, but i had to share. Looks a little ricey, but the engine and interior work is pure JDM.

Yep thats pretty old and I still don't like it, too much rice.

[nick_7g]

yeh, i just rediscovered it in my bookmarks. I thought the engine stuff was impressive. I like what he did with the ash tray and the CD hole too.

What JDM interior? That's USDM. I don't see anything JDM there.

Who the hell cares about the looks. Doesn't anyone notice the TURBO!!!!!!

USDM doesn't have an ashtray. They have 2 compartments instead of the single compartment + ashtray (base Euro) or 2 compartments (one for DVD) + ashtray (lux Euro).

All he did was put in gauges and switches with CF inserts into the stock interior. That's not impressive.

Here's the stock tsx interior:

The interior mods are JDM aren't they (seats, guages, turbo timer), i know the acura stuff is american. I just liked to see good use of the CD holder and stuff. It thought the install looked nice and stock

Looks like a normal TSX with gauges in the CD compartment and the A pillar to me.

The whole car reeks of USDM. Style, tuning, concept, the whole lot. How many turbo Honda's are there in Japan?? How many turbo Honda's are there in the US?? I can answer the latter by saying "too many". Seriously, they wack turbo's and NOS in anything they can find rather than sticking with NA tuning like many Jap tuning factories do.

Don't like the car at all. I rather the Phase Accord Euro-R (modded + K20A engine from the Type-R). N/A tune for Honda's FTW ;)

I thought most of the work looked cool. Whats wrong with a turbo. I know the spirit of honda is NA, but whats wrong with turbo's.

At the time it was made i'm sure there weren't many turbo TSX's around. It would take a lot of time and engineering to turbo the K24, so i think it deserves some recognition.

I may have been mistaken in my labelling of it as JDM. But I just consider JDM as modding a car in an efficient and neat way. Thats why I said the exterior was ricey, but the engine and interior work looked like it could have been done in Japan (as there was nothing over top).

Also, it would take lot more money to obtain the power of a turbo K24 in NA tune, so it makes sense in terms of efficiency. Personally, I wouldn't force induction on my K24 because i love the howl of a tuned NA engine. That said, i'm not gonna bag out the job that they did on that car just because its from the US (I will bag out the exterior though, its pretty silly lookin).

i think u gotta update your definition of JDM. LOL. Cuz there are JDM which are very over the top and then theres ur conservative ones. But meh...these words mean next to nothing these days as it has been over used and pple misuse the term and really, in the end, who gives a shit?


In terms of obtaining the power of the turbo K24 in NA tune, i would say its almost impossible to get the same amt of power and torque that a turbo puts out from NA mods. Theres only so much NA mods u can do compared to forced induction. theres more options available with forced (thats how i see it)

The turbo on the k24a is good. I wonder what engine management it uses.

If you go to Japan, they are all going towards rice instead of clean JDM.

[nick_7g]

It uses a HKS FCON V. Is that a piggy back?

If its stand alone, how do you maintain the use of SRS, ABS and VSC and stuff. Or do they run on their own computers?

Do Power FC's have all the stock ECU features in it as it comes? Because if Apexi made one for the K24a, then we would have no need for the Hondata reflsh. I think they are going to charge roughly the same amount as you can get an FC for.

I guess thats why it costs so much to install and tune a custom ECU.
