Suntzu's Mod Log

If you drove my car you would be a happy camper. Its brings joy every time I hit Vtec!!!

Hi Suntzu, i'm also thinking about installing your headers. Do you think it is a worthwhile mod and have you had any issues with it so far? Thanks.

No issues so far. Fitted perfect. No movement or need to retighten. Tiny hiss, but i like it. Hardly hear it over the intake. Its a win for the money.

Ok,

Minor update.

I have exchanged the Fujita CAi for the Comptech IceBox.

It is MUCH quieter, not as tough sounding but it sounds decent. Its not a cop magnet any more. ( not that ive ever been pulled over, i havent, ever) I do miss the vtec roar at 5000rpm but it less noticeable anyway now I have the jtune flash.

Im installing a K&N filter today as I think the stock filter is a bit arse.

I have also installed a Magnaflow 300 cell ceramic cat, dunno what size but it matches my header. Initially it didn't do much but after a hundred Kays or so seems to be giving me a bit of extra torque done low.

This sounds like crazy talk by my cars pretty torquey now!

I think the icebox is torqueyer than the the fujita but the fujita has more power at 6000rpm. Not much more and I dont spend a huge amount of time at 6 grand anyways :)

So maybe the combo of Comptech Icebox and Cat has added torque down low more than expected.

Definitely that with the Jtune and header makes the car more drivable. This is good and kind of the opposite of a lot of honda tuning which aims for peak dyno power.

Now ive almost decided on an exhaust.

A local aussie guy on ebay selling the HKS SILENT HI POWER for $700 + $130 ship new. What a great deal.

It s a bit of a waste of money cause i dont expect power but i want a tougher sound, but not too loud.

This will probably complete my performance mods.

I do have the blackout tape, SS doorsills and my free Heat shield gasket to install..one day!

I've done all this stuff on the cheap as you guys now but its worked out good.

I reckon i will hold the record for KW per dollar but i need a dyno to do that and im waiting till the exhaust is fitted. Will take a while.

Anyways that completes my update. Post any comments but keep it on track please.

Where did u get you front grill from??
Does it come pre painted?

it looks much better than the original grill!!

lol you said in your dyno thread that you are going to do 'a heap of mods to the engine'...so far you have intake, headers and cat. not exactly a 'heap'

What could i do to you please you Will? I mean i don't want to disappoint , after all im only doing it for your satisfaction.:thumbdwn:

I meant it when I said keep this thread on track. Post relevant useful comments or don't post. Its not complicated.

I am considering lightened flywheel and a mild clutch but my clutch isnt due and i want to do both at the same time. Not sure of the install cost either.

Id love cams and a tune but i already have Jtune mild Flash and regardless theres not a lot of decent tuning options available. That and the fact I haven't seen any decent posts on cams and dyno gains.

I pretty happy with the mods Ive done to be hones. It might not fit wills idea of a "heap" whatever thats means but ive had a lot of fun doing it bit by bit and im sure theres more to come..

heap of mods = heap of cash = you being poorer.

If i had inifinite money, i'd do inifinite mods but dang its soo expensive.
nice to know that you feel it makes a difference.

Can't wait to put my UR pulleys in.

Hey Suntzu, where do you get your work done? In Canberra?

I did most of it myself with my Bro In Law. Only the CAT was done in a shop. That part of the fun doing it yourself if you can!

get some form of lip/body kit and a new CF bonnet and make it a real j style car lol.

do the manual transmission ones come with K20??..are the manual ones more sportier is what iam asking lol

cause in japan the CL7 come with K20A so if you have this engine it will be easier to get parts from japan that will fit.

I currently have a accord euro and all i got it a lip kit and a grill but it looks pretty clean and stock

No, manual still have the k24 in them lol
