crazy MF!!!
nice work justin.
dude your going to help me do this!
UPDATE! :)
while replacing my wheel splash guard (id torn the other one) i noticed that the 03-05 and 06-07 wheel guard are different! :eek:
nothing big, but on the 06-07 there is a ventilation panel... not sure how much extra air it'll allow to flow, but considering my pod will be sitting directly infront of it, maybe itll help draw air thru the front bar and past the pod :thumbsup:
anyway, pics for everyone to see...
03-05 is on the RIGHT / 06-07 is on the LEFT:

yea, i always get paranoid about those holes when its raining.
just scared when i go in puddles or potholes, i splash water up there onto the pod as thats where it sits directly.
lol my car wont be driven in the rain :pQuote:

Subscribed! This is bloody fantastic. Sex on wheels!
a decent amount of water needs to get in to cause any damage, it would be hard enough getting past the pod let alone your piping.
tell me when to make a OH WSID event.....we need a booked lane to see this thing run down the 1/4 :)
will do buddy! the week after i get it all finished ill be coming up for a day or two :)Quote:

To fit RBC onto K24A3 you will need to add a vacuum line...
do so by drilling an 8.8mm hole:

tap the hole with a 1/8th NPT thread:

And fit a 4mm nipple:

DONE! :thumbsup:
That is AWESOME!
Im fitting my RBC on Sat and thats just saved my ass from fking it up.
Thank you big!
hey can you please tell me after you've installed your rbc cuz i want to do the same aswell :D how many kw at the wheels does it proven to gain with I/H/E mod :DQuote:

oh also are you just installing the rbc it self or with accord TL TB ???
Uts cheaper and quicker to buy off a verndor here once you pay the customs, potentially gst and allow for the shit AUD$ at the moment.
Im just putting on the RBC with Hondata Heatshield Gasket and Throttle Body bypass. Im not 100% sold on the value of the larger TB as yet but will see once I dyno this new RBC.
I bought the RBC and got it in 24 hours from JDMYARD in traders.
can you gimme the contact detail ? :D thx manQuote:

Also any idea why the nipple is called a 1/8th bnc and it about 10mm wide which is mire like 7/16th! Trying to find the correct tap and its all weird. Maybe 1/8th is the screw thread type...
1/8th because the tubing that is meant to be used with it is 1/8" in diameter. You need a 7/16 hex spanner to use with it.Quote:

4.1-4.2kg for the RBC.
lol just bolted to the head... not much weight... headers are heavier and they only got support after the flex...Quote:

you only need to block the hole if your using a J32A3 TB... stock TB blocks the hole itself :thumbsup:Quote:

So i need to block both ends 1. TB end, 2. Manifold end.
I might just get a sheet of aluminium and blank it off, since the TB and manifold doesn't get hotter than 600+ deg.
Aluminium = 660deg C melting point.
YOU GO TO BED, I AM DETERMINED TO GET IT PAINTED AND BRASS FITTING IN BY TOMORROW.
BUT WORRIED I WILL MAKE A MISTAKE WITH THE TAPPING.
just to be sure.
3/16 X 1/8 Male NPT or BSPT
1/8 Tapper Drill
8.8mm Drill piece

If you need i'll take a photo.
haha no wonder why you didn't need that other P2R K24 IM gasket, cause you remove the whole IM assembly for the replacement and the hondata is the only one used.
Mines fitted. I had the valve on my RBC so I didnt need to drillland tap. It was bolt on.
comments soon...
did you run it and did you get white smoke?
cause i switched on the engine and it started smoking with white smoke.
Nope. 100% ok. Idled at 1500rpm and then settled done to 800rpm. i did not observe any smoke. All good. Im reserving judgment until the ecu has relearnt as i reset it.
Sufficice to say that when my vtec kicks in at 5000rpm it like an extra turbine has engaged, :thumbsup:at least that what it sounds like.:zip:
Did you connect the coolant lines properly?Quote:

RESULT: COLD START and now i don't any problems. Just have some coolant that has dripped down to the lower side. Car sounds slightly deeper and different response.
any pics of its installed guys :D plss
How did you manage to fit your hand beneath the stock intake manifold to get at the support bracket? I can't fit my hand in at all.
lol please dont talk about that support bracket... i hate that thing! lol and im pretty sure everyone else with an RBC now hates that thing lol...Quote:

Me
EuroAccord13
Suntzu
Crapdaz
who will be next?
I don't have money. hahahah... cheap enough to even repair my topspeed header under warranty. LOL
Well if the gains are good then i will be up for it for sure ;)
Just not game enough to install it myself tho :p
Check out Crapdaz' appearance thread.Quote:

lol my bracket is still sitting there... freakin bolt cross threaded or something... ive been meaning to remove it for weight reduction reasons :p
haha the culprate:

ROFLMAO!!!Quote:

When you removed your RBB, didnt you undo that bolt?
Cause i took the whole RBB + bracket together out.
Only thing i did under the chassis was attach the socket + extension.
Engine bay - slip hands in and attach wrench then undo.
LOL. My bro in law got that one off yesterday after some friggin around! Its a biatch alright.Quote:

I also installed the Hondata heatshield gasket and routed the throttle body heat bypass back into into the cooling system (incredibly easy, you dont need any joiners or anything for the TB bypass, 1 minute job). This has GREATLY cooled off the TB and RBC IM.
Both this cooler manifold intake air and RBC design has really opened my engine and power delivery. It sounds friggin fantastic at 4000-7600rpm. It also pulls like a muther by about 5500rpm.
I can feel the extrapower and the throttle response is instant. The RBC plus the breathing mods and Jtune flash have made my car come alive. It really obvious. i was hoping Jtune+rBC would work together and they certainly seem to compliment each other. The earlier Vtec+RBC meand the torque and power keeps coming in a smooth creamy power delivery.
I dont think I lost any torque at this stage. I certainly can't feel it. I can feel the extra surge and eagerness in the higher rev band. Its great. It revs HARD!
Ill confirm this with a dyno within a week or so. The RBC is also lighter than the RBB system so WiNA for tiny weight reduction.
Now lets get back on topic.
Whats the status on this build? Are we ready for dyno yet ? Any info?
nice work suntzu lucky you have reflash cause i can't do anything until i am done with performance mods so i can use my greddy emanage.Quote:

Will wait for Suntzu's dyno to see the actual gains. But it does sound like it makes a difference...or it could be pychological thing :p
If its good, i'll get it ordered as soon as possible!! Too bad i cant install so will probably rely on some workshop while they fit the pulleys to the car as well.
Any recommendations in Sydney? Top one? ismotorracing?
Cheers Justin. Take the pics when ur all done...no hurry =)

UPDATE AGAIN!
got my new magna flow cat welded in over the last few days... took some comparison pics... looking at my old cat (not sure on the brand) you can see why it broke loose and rattled (see pic below):
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...F2458Large.jpg
whereas the magnaflow cat has a spongey padding around the film to hold it firmly in place (see below):
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...F2462Large.jpg
:thumbsup: Thumbsup to Powertone Exhaust in Canberrra... they jumped on the K24Z1 project and gave me excellent service followed by good discount hehehe
The finished pipe:

And one more Porting pic for good measure (thats the idle bypass hole you can see in the plenum):
