Oh God Thats Super Sexy !!!!!!!!
looks very hot
sexy
can you please post some test drive report
nice job:thumbsup:
when are you install you valve and cams
I'm eagerly waiting for the test drive impressions! :thumbsup:
Good stuff! Let us know once you get the chance to drive it.
hopefully if honda have the part ill have her driving by tonight :D
that might be on hold for awhile now :( need to save up money again! headers cost more than id planned to be installed (had to purchase high flow cat aswell), plus im still awaiting new engine cover and my bodykit...
My EGK24A only rev to 7600rpm
50 degree VTC is save , it max out at 45 degrees on my KPRO.
hey guys... couldnt get replacement fuel line from honda till january :( so i had to make up a custom jobby for the meantime... started the engine tonight, no fuel spraying everywhere!!
First Impressions:
took 5-8secs to crank over, then a lil jumpy on idle at first...
sat on 1600rpm for a min or two...
as it got warmer dropped down to 1200, then rested on 900rpm for awhile...
at correct idle temp, runs on 700-750rpm (same as before)...
There is also a distinctively different exhaust note, its more "airy"
Test Drive:
Starting off slowly in 1st, changed at 4000 to 2nd, then 3500 into 3rd...
i noticed when drivng in a gear, then going to neutral, the revs drop quickly down to around 700, then bounce back up to 1400... it does this when going from anygear into neatral or when pushing in the clutch...
Luckily, that only did that for 5mins, then changed to only dropping down to 1100rpm when moving in neuatral, 1000rpm when u first stop, it then drops down and rests on 700-750rpm after sitting for awhile (same as before)
Driving WOT 1st gear, maybe slight loss in power below 3000, hard to tell... 1st gear 6-7000rpm only lasts a second, and let me tell you, when vtec engages, the engine roars! huge difference there, the CAI no longer grumbles with vtec, but screams...
2nd gear, maybe also slight loss in power, if not the same below 3000, between that and 4500 seems the same, but once above 4500rpm definate improvement, 5000 to redline goes very very quickly! once again, vtec smashes through the last bit of rev range...
3rd gear, much the same as 2nd, this is where i suppose jtune reflash with 5000 vtec engagement would make huge difference, this manifold really seems to love high revs :D
4th gear i didnt get to test fully :p, but up until 5000 she goes nicely... no lack in power as she pulls past 4500
I forgot i took this pic, it shows just how good modern day casting is, i cant see porting getting much more power (if any) off the k-series

Very nice mate! Thanks for posting your impressions so quick. :thumbsup:
It seems like the IM shifts the power from down low to high like a pod style CAI does. There's a bit of sacrifice in daily driveability to improve peak power. The Jtune mild reflash will lower VTEC slightly so it should improve things. I'm a bit concerned with the lumpy start up though. Things could change in a few days though as the ECU is still adjusting to the new setup. :)
