What did you do to your Gen7 today?

[thisaznboi88]

Gutted my wife CRV air box, re-did the valve adjustment, and painted the valve cover gunmetal gray since it was starting to peel and get surface rust

and now the accord is on the back burner  


I sent an inquiry to XLR8 Performance about making a version of their quad tip resonated 3RD gen TL exhaust for my coupe.

^ the accord got some love on Saturday with the new starter. Sunday is CRV day. It's like having 2 kids. Can't satisfy them both

[timot_one]

I hopefully fixed my axle that keep popping out and replaced one of my v band clamps on my exhaust.

Changed the engine oil/filter, AT fluid, 3rd & 4th gear pressure switches, air filter, and put my winter wheels on.

Had to buy two quarts of oil on Sunday while out in Long Island as I seem to have burned through my oil a month before I'm due for an oil change. Thinking of switching to 10W-30 from the recommended 5W-20. Im at 129,000 miles and I ride hard most of the time so I'm thinking a thicker oil might hold me over and I won't burn through it so quickly! Waiting on Thursday to get the oil changed and see how the car performs 

...other than that, I'm good. Swapped out the spark plugs and drive belt the other day

^It'll do you good upgrading.

Sup guys, I'm back from being a ghost. Cars getting painted tomorrow btw finally

I bought an Accord off my friend for a very good deal bc my originals frame was so far gone. Cars been sitting in the shop since July bc my body guy has been slammed but it's finally going down.

^good to hear Ariel. About friggin' time 

Back OT ...ended up switching to 5W-30, seeing how this holds up. My accord ending up taking the entire 5 quarts and still didn't meet the second hole (where it should be) on the dipstick! I bought (1) extra quart to have in the car just in case since I travel long distances at times.

Castrol gtx high millage 10w-30 for burning. Valvoline high millage for leaking.

I'll keep that in mind for the next run... 

[thisaznboi88]

looking at turbo kits for the wife crv. Not sure if I can go N/A anymore since using a custom dual ECU harness will not remove the CEL from the stock ECU. I could be wrong though, but turbo kits are sooo cheap! minus injectors and stuff

[timot_one]

Superchargers make more torque.

[thisaznboi88]

^ haha I like your comptech s/c. I just email derek to see what he recommends. If I can somehow get Kpro to work I can turn off the dual runners on the intake manifold and do s/c instead

[timot_one]

You'd just be replacing the IM on the SC set up with the Comptech.

[thisaznboi88]

yeah i know but there is a sensor on the crv IM for the dual intake runners. It will throw a CEL. If kpro can work I can turn off that mofo and open a whole new world for tuning the CRV

Just wondering Tim did you have to run some new wiring for the VTEC solenoid sensor and for a secondary coolant temp sensor when you had the dual ecu?

Ideally if k-pro can work I will take those tsx vtec assembly and tsx camshaft from you. Maybe s/c later down the road. You still have that CT supercharger laying around?

I'll text you later to pick your brain about kpro
