When you lower the car, all four corners would get even more negative camber. If the front is at -2 already you're going to get something like -3.... You want even more!?! Wait until after lowering and then get an alignment to know what/if you need/want to get adjustable camber arms...
2 days ago I installed an MAPerformance downpipe. I was expecting the exhaust tone to change based on other members experiences but other than a very very low base tone on start up and idle I don't hear any change while driving. I might also be partially deaf since i'm 45 and have been tuning...
So the OP is more informed about suspension parts swapping.
The rear suspension parts are mostly interchangeable but the front is not. The type S (just like the civic type R) has a completely different front end geometry and parts compared to the 1.5L Integras and civics. The front control...
You have a mix of correct and incorrect information. Torque is not the same as towing capacity. Search civic / integra CVT tuning torque limit and you'll find it's common knowledge that our cvt belt will slip at 260ft*lbs, most tuners limit it at 250 for some safety. Yes the manual clutch can't...
The Cvt can not go past 250ft*lbs of torque. This engine with addons and tune can spike at that around 4.5K rpm. Make sure to tell the tuner that it is for a cvt, so they can turn down the midrange slightly. Also fuel upgrades are not needed since the OEM are good enough for any torque/hp that...
As others have mentioned, and from my own experiences. Yes, the science is correct and it does make a difference, BUT it is a VERY small difference. For it to be noticeable, the weight change has to be very large. I.e. comparing a 40lbs to 30lbs wheel is not perceivable.
I always think it's...
Doesn't say anything about available tune. Do they have one readily available? Pay extra for it? Do they have a tune for cvt? Or will we all have to find our own custom tuner?
Yes, engine lights will pop when disconnecting and reconnecting sensors and battery. The newer Honda systems are very temperamental. If you have an OBD2 scanner you can force clear the programming or it will usually clear up after several longish drives.
Carbon is for appearance. Actually the inlet pipe doesn't provide much HP at all, but it makes the bpv sound louder 👍. If purely for performance HP, the following is from greatest to least.
Tune (greatest) - down pipe - Intake - intercooler - charge pipes - exhaust - front pipe - inlet pipe...
No, it'll continue to reduce your term and the monthly payment stays the same. The end date won't get resembled on the loan, but I promise once you hit $0 the payments stop and loan ends early.
The upside is, say you end a year early, that is about year+ of interest you won't have to pay...
By dropping $5k on your loan it reduces your loans terms in two ways.
1) the actual principal to pay off is reduced so you'll have it paid off earlier.
2) You don't have to pay interest on $5k worth of principal over the many months, so the term is reduced even more because the term factored in...
Found an updated Acura parts distributor, so now we have part numbers. My idea is to get the Upipe (17270-6VJ-A00) that connects directly to the turbo and purge mount tube (36171-6VJ-A01 ) then use silicone hoses to an aftermarket intake.
17270-6VJ-A00 look at the fitment and it says for 2025...
I ground/cut about 1/4" (I'm guessing, I didn't actually measure.) of depth of plastic where the armrest bracket screws in. Do the bottom screws mount area first because it'll shift the armrest backwards and the armrest won't latch. Once you find the amount that gives enough clearance for the...
I did the Mikstore rear center vent mod too and had the same exact issues. Watched the videos which helped get me started but it was still a huge pain. I had to trim A LOT off the tabs and make the edges thinner. The vent tube hits the armrest spring bracket not allowing trim to be pushed in...
The USA Acura ADX has the 1.5t engine with a very similar inlet pipe as the original posters picture. I wasn't able to find a part number for the curved solid pipe that connects to the turbo.
Possible reason for the redesign. It has more resonators to quiet/change sound. The intake path is...
You "must" tune a car when it goes so far out of spec a sensor and/or programming can't compensate. Unlike some manufacturers (cough BMW), Honda engineers seem to expect us to mod these cars, to an extent, and design the sensors and programming with wiggle room. Even the sensitive maf sensor can...
Intake doesn't need a tune unless it has a "race" maf housing, which i highly doubt the PRL cai has. almost all downpipes, even catted ones with defoulers, eventually throw a secondary O2 error code without a tune. The only downpipe that usually doesn't throw a code without a tune is the "high...
Get a Ktuner v1.2, it's an affordable real tuner. It'll comes with 3 customizable base tunes. If you buy it directly from TSP or Phearable they will also include their tune for free.
