Dyno of stock h22, Vs Modified

***I know the torque label is not the correct location, i combined the two dyno graphs using a program called data thief and threw the combined data sets into excel but put the label the wrong place :( ***

 

Looking at about +50 hp at 7500rpm. Good times.

I found a great upgrade for the door panels. Cord... Literally cord. 14 gage low energy landscaping wire to be precise, and it fits Perfectly!!! Here are some pictures.

Haven't done a lot, but some updates. I converted the accord to 5 lug, which means my CL ROH conversion is just sitting round being worthless . I really wish I would have just gone 5 lug in the first place as it ended up costing me less then my roh conversion did with the CL parts.

 

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130901_123923.jpg

 

Same brake setup for now, just the 15vn calipers and 11.1" 23mm rotors, if these rotors warp I will upgrade to some nicer rotors but for now these will do.

 

Here she is sitting on some prelude blades.

 

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20131116_112759.jpg

 

The motivation for the mod was new wheels and tires.

 

I picked up some Volk Super Fine Mesh and put on some Dunlop Direzza Z2

 

Test fit before tires

I also picked up some Desmond Regamaster - Marquis Promada They came with pirelli tires

 

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20131123_170711.jpg

 

Not quite the EVO's but hey they were the right price.

 

I still haven't gotten the new engine, I do have hopes of getting and completing the swap this winter.

I don't think I posted these but here are the pictures from when I raised my engine.

 

poured poly mounts that raised the front almost 1" and left the rear about stock.

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20140412_092500.jpg

 

then hood would not close

 

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20140412_092548.jpg

 

so I cut webbing so it would

 

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20140412_094912.jpg

 

and although I would like it a little bit higher, something I can still achieve the oil pan and header are tucked up much better then they were before.

 

*** Oil Leak in the picture was from an axle seal, it has been replaced ***

That's an impressive thread. Amazing all the work you put into that!

 

I've got a welder if it would help you make a better front air dam. I hear ya about bennies of plywood but it doesn't do it for me either. Everything else works for me on your car! :thumbup::thumbup:

It is interesting to me that there is that much hate for the splitter lol.

 

If someone with a welder wants to help me design a venturi / skid plate i will look into incorporating an aluminum splittler, but even then if I ever take it to a road coarse i will probably run the plywood.

 

Once I get settle and on my feet here I will be putting an f20b engine in it as the H needs to be rebuilt.

 

And it is not fast, though it is much better both in a straight ling and cornering then it used to be. When the H was stock it ran a 15.2 @93 (really bad 60') in the quarter at 2500' and has not run since.

No "hate" from me re: dat plywood...just no LOVE. ;)

 

Seriously, if I don't meet you face-to-face at Cars and Coffee first, then PM me when you get settled and I'll be happy to let you use my welder at my house.

I don't HATE you for the plywood. Far from it. You've put more time, effort, and energy into that than I have almost any vehicle I've had. As Clay said, just no love for it. Love the rest of the car, just not the plywood. That's just me though and who cares what I think? (Hint: you should definitely care what I think.)

 

For the track is one thing, but I wouldn't drive around with plywood on my car. I didn't even do that on my beater truck. :lol:
