Well only year and half later I finally have my tsx IM and p2r gaskets I actually notice good amount of difference. Plus in all that time I have ported and polished IM. So along with my weapon r intake with extension adapter I feel huge difference in power off the line and mid range.
now I just did a oil change using Synthetic Amsoil 5w20 and Amsoil EA oil filter. They say and recommend SERVICE LIFE •Normal Service – Up to 25,000 miles, 700 hours of operation or one year, whichever comes first, in personal vehicles not operating under Severe Service. •Severe Service – Up to 15,000 miles, 700 hours of operation or one year, whichever comes first. or a year whichever comes first.
now I know amsoil is highly recommended and accredited but even when I used normal synthetics I changed it around 3500 or 4000 instead of suggested 5000. but now using Amsoil im curious if I an go as far as they say I can?
YAY thank god Honda took it back after I did that to the wrong im and swapped it out for the correct 06 im. and I have talked to p2r and they are gonna swap gaskets and spacer out for me I returned them yesterday so just waiting for them to send new ones back to me. in the meantime I am gonna start on porting and polishing the new im. surprisingly the new one is ALOT smoother and nicer so this should be fairly easy to polish it up. also went and picked up a new cordless dremel tool with a flexible extension, which will be big help to get down inside the im and the runners. along with higher speed settings than my old corded dremel. cordless will make it nice. and for some reason my local machine shop does not port and polish im so good thing im gonna put in the work. well anyway I will post pics as I go and one as it is now to show how nice and smooth it is from the factory.
sucks but what can I do. ive been slammed and my family comes 1st so I didn't even notice. but Honda is ordering the 06 tsx im I just hope they don't see the little bit of polishing I did and wont exchange it. but they said as long as it wasn't installed which it wasn't so cross my fingers and hope I get the correct one.
ahh fuck Honda gave me the wrong im. so p2r was right Honda messed up. damnit ive been moving and dealing with my daughter and kidney stones I wasn't able notice this sucks
no I actually have the order from online and the one they sent me. I ordered for 06 accord with dbw. but they fixed it and mailed me correct one within a day along with 2 tb gaskets, sent a extra for both sides of spacer. so now it fits perfect and will be even be better after I finish the port and polish
