i think injen style Liam. Get hakkan to mandrel bend some alloy pipe into that front section of the bumper and put the pod in there. = win.

Thing is he quoted me $250 to do that, when if I buy Justin's intake it will be cheaper than that. But then there's the 3rd option of buying an intake for the CL7R which is the same chassis but already has the RBC. I think that would be a direct fit?Quote:

Best bet is trolling japanese yahoo auctions for one to turn up.
UPDATE
My throttle body finally arrived today! :D . In all I've read on the net they say the 06+ TSX throttle body went up to 64mm, but whatever way I measure it I get more like 65mm. Not complaining though, just makes me wonder if I should port the RBC another mm or if it's not worth even considering. I would put this on as soon as possible but I won't even attempt to try and get the stock intake pipe back onto this thing. I'll save it for (hopefully) next week :)

Also on Friday the custom 2.5" catback is being made up. This will mean the car is running a consistent 2.5" from the header collecter to the muffler inlet and I shouldn't have to worry about modifying the exhaust ever again :D . As I'll be running Justin's intake with the throttle body, effectively as soon as the throttle body is on the car will have completed what I call 'Phase 1', or as bennjamin likes to call it "It's too heavy to be quick, sell it and get an Integra... Phase 1". Then I'll dyno the car, and whether I reach the 135kW goal or not, I'll be inspired to keep going. Also I think this makes me the 2nd Euro in Australia to do throttle body?
That's all for now, I'll have an update on Friday with the complete exhaust and probably some sound clips! :wave:
how many kw does a stock euro pull at the wheel??
From what I've heard, the 06+ pulls anywhere up to 110kW atw stock. Hopefully a 25kW gain with all I've done isn't out of the question. I know of a Euro that did 126kW atw with VAFC-II, DC Sports header, K&N intake and custom catback.Quote:

My 2006 is putting down 133.4kw atw with custom headers, exhaust & intake with the extreme hondata flash, no tuning ability though.

I think this is the second time I've mentioned the kw atw in 16 months since my mods were done.
I think if I was gloating I may have mentioned it more often.
Most here know what I have been through with this system,
and any gloating I can do, I deserve.....lol
Only mentioned the numbers so those doing similar mods should know what to expect, although with further tuning ability hopefully.
