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.
After looking at the seats again. It looks like you might be able to swap in the seat bottom from an Accord. I did this on my Civic Sport Touring and it was a straight swap. Make sure you get the seat bottom that comes with the heating element. Although the foam didn't seam any softer/harder, it...
No, you can't swap seat bottoms.
Integra Aspec and TypeS are two completely different types of cars aimed at two different types of drivers. They shouldn't be compared. The typeS is an all out performance car, it is not intended for luxuries or comfort. The Aspec (especially with tech package)...
Get a Ktuner v1.2 if on a budget. It's sale now at Phearable and Two Step Performance. Not only comes with ktuners base tunes but you'll get their own tune for free by Phearable or TSP.
JB4 tricks the ecu into getting skewed data. JB4 gives some extra HP but limited by the oem max programmed...
You have to disable the secondary O2 sensor using ktuner or hondata. This has to be done with any aftermarket downpipe, regardless if it's catted, defoulers don't work. The only downpipe that doesn't throw a code eventually is the tsp high efficiency model.
The ITS is basically a Civic Type R. An amazing car in every performance aspect except comfort. Very fast and can be tuned to be even faster. The suspension handling is the best you can get for front wheel drive. Only downside is between the stiff seats and the overly stiff suspension (even on...
"Stage 1 intake, silicone intake hose, high volume intake, and a cold air intake duct." !?!
These are not bought separate, they come together as a kit. Just get a PRL HVI kit, +5hp. Those cold air ducts/snorkels that go into the bumper grill are small and restrict flow, skip it.
The only thing...
