Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Milan on January 07, 2013, 11:49:43 PM What happened to your profile?
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 08, 2013, 03:29:45 AM Good question. I have no idea. It was due for an update any way. I'll do that when i get.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: timot_one on January 08, 2013, 11:46:37 PM Good hanging out with you tonight Rich. Sorry I was late. I'll see if I can find out what happened to your op.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 09, 2013, 06:45:09 AM No problem Tim, it was good catching up with you and meeting Jason, Milan and his wife.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: timot_one on January 09, 2013, 09:05:36 AM Going through all your old posts in this thread, you may have accidentally deleted the info on May 25, 2010. That's when the last edit was made, and you did post on that day.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on January 09, 2013, 09:33:07 AM Ugh. That sucks. Fresh start?
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Milan on January 09, 2013, 12:44:58 PM No problem Tim, it was good catching up with you and meeting Jason, Milan and his wife. You too Rich. Next time ditch the rental and airfare and drive your Accord lol. Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 13, 2013, 09:51:00 AM Going through all your old posts in this thread, you may have accidentally deleted the info on May 25, 2010. That's when the last edit was made, and you did post on that day. Yeah, but Nelson's post right after suggested that i updated it in 2012, i believe pics after i did the wrap. I may have moved the pics on photobucket. That would explain the pics not being there, but I'm at a lost regarding the text. Who the hell knows, like Z said time for a fresh start. Milan, ditching the rental airfare would nice if you guys were a little closer. Driving to MI would be quite a hike lol. Not completely out the question tho. Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: timot_one on January 13, 2013, 09:53:45 AM Maybe it's Z's fault? :suspect:
Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on January 13, 2013, 10:41:27 AM Meh.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 13, 2013, 01:13:29 PM Yeah, I blame him too. Notice how he was quick to say i should redo it :laugh:
Profile reloaded. I may have missed some mods. Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on January 13, 2013, 02:38:27 PM Well, since you blame me anyway, I might as well clear what you just did out of spite. Nyeh.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: gargantula99 on January 13, 2013, 02:45:49 PM That would be funny.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 13, 2013, 04:02:34 PM Hahaha, hey don't let me start posting pics buddy.
Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on January 13, 2013, 06:50:24 PM I've got a few of my own to defend myself with.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Arielit0oo on January 13, 2013, 08:23:41 PM I'm liking the 3M Hood/Trunk wrap, Rich.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 13, 2013, 08:57:09 PM I've got a few of my own to defend myself with. HahahaI'm liking the 3M Hood/Trunk wrap, Rich. Thanks Ariel. I still have to do the roof and redo the hood for the summer.Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on January 13, 2013, 09:04:42 PM Yeah you do. You've been slacking on that roof bro. Just sayin.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: gargantula99 on January 13, 2013, 11:04:00 PM Doesn't it need to be a certain temperature outside for you to do the 3M?
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 14, 2013, 06:35:18 AM Yeah, I dont remember the exact temp requirements, but i could do it at work when I decide to.
Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: cna on January 14, 2013, 06:52:45 PM The car is looking good the 3m install looks amazing
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 15, 2013, 06:28:57 AM Thanks Clemente.

Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on March 12, 2013, 09:57:52 PM Congrats on the new hwip.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: alpha on March 12, 2013, 10:51:05 PM Congrats Rich! The RDX looks great!
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Milan on March 13, 2013, 01:05:18 AM How is that RDX on gas? How do you like it so far?
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on March 13, 2013, 07:03:29 AM Thanks guys. Not sure about actual gas mileage as yet, but it's rated at 19/23 which i would expect for a 4 cylinder turbo suv that has a little bid of EVO inside it. Honestly, i haven't driven it since the test drive. The lady doesn't want to get out of it lol. It does handle well, in some cases, better than my coupe currently. Suspension is firm but rides comfortably and for the base model, this car has a lot of features.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on August 20, 2013, 08:54:42 PM Thinking I should start a word document to chronicle my upcoming project. Just so I can copy and paste it into a post once it's almost completed. This won't be until around late October or so. Maybe I should start a count down...hmmm...
Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Nit3h4wk C0uP3 on August 20, 2013, 09:04:51 PM Why must you torture? I'm trying to forget! Becuz i has to wait! Lol
Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on August 20, 2013, 09:21:51 PM I'm not any better since I know the secret. Muahahaha!
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on August 20, 2013, 09:36:29 PM :laugh: :'( :laugh: :'(... and that's me, torn. I swear Ive lost some sleep thinking about this. My Co worker is eager to get started on his part and is just waiting for me to get the spate part in. Let's see how long I can hold out. And for those who already know, the torture continues lol

What are the plans Rich? Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on December 25, 2014, 10:24:41 AM I listed it under future plans on the first page. . I may have missed some stuff but I'll update as they get completed.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: timot_one on December 25, 2014, 10:40:55 AM Make me go all the way back to the first post to read that.
Who are you getting to do the dual tb intake manifold? I know a fabricator. Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on December 25, 2014, 12:56:06 PM Lol, it's only a click away.
The dual throttle body IM is pretty much complete. We just don't want to put it on the new engine until it's been broken in and tuned. Based on past builds we know that more fuel and air up top are needed. We're bumping the fuel and adding a regulator and a return. This will be supplying 410cc RDX injectors. We've seen where this setup stopped making power around 5.5-6k rpm. This is where the dtb IM comes in, along with Hondata, to help carry the power through to maybe 7k. Thanks tho, I'm glad that there are more options for fabricators, willing to work on a j-series, out there these days.

I don't know much about J series, but seems like you are doing a nice job rebuilding it !
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on December 28, 2014, 11:01:04 AM Thanks, but Paul's the muscle tho I will be helping out during the swap. It's pretty much all new except for heads (new TL-S cams, valves &springs w/kms retainers), a few castings and a some of the accessories.
Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on December 28, 2014, 11:18:46 AM I gotta admit, I'm a little giddy.
Title: Re: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Mike on December 28, 2014, 11:29:49 AM Looking good...
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on December 28, 2014, 11:37:40 AM I gotta admit, I'm a little giddy. Lol, unfortunately I'm going to have to wait to install the dtb because we don't want to put it on the new engine before it's broken in. Looking good... Thanks Mike, and now you know ;) We're storing it in the garage tonight so it can be started first thing in the AM. Along with all this I'm replacing lower ball joints, axles, PS pump, radiator hoses and maybe install wicked tuning rear camber kit. Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: ikethegreat on December 29, 2014, 07:44:34 AM I'm glad to see Paul is still open for business after some of his recent issues. I can't wait to see how this build turns out.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on December 29, 2014, 03:20:33 PM Yeah Ike. People just have to exercise some patience. He's up n getting caught up on his back logs now and throwing in a few warranty work in the mix doesn't help either.

Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: CrackerTeg on December 30, 2014, 03:26:22 PM Pfft. Put a little rubber cement and its good. :facepalm:
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on December 30, 2014, 09:00:03 PM No rubber cement on those lol too much torque. A few pics from today

Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: ikethegreat on December 31, 2014, 07:27:17 AM The build is looking really good so far. You should make a build thread on v6p too. Paul could use some good vibes over there lol.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on December 31, 2014, 07:43:14 AM Funny, Z and i were talking about that last week. I'll copy most of this over there once i have everything documented here and i get back home.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on December 31, 2014, 02:06:01 PM And here we have it...
(http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/rich-01/Mobile%20Uploads/20141231_095328_zpssfd2swdx.jpg) (http://s611.photobucket.com/user/rich-01/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141231_095328_zpssfd2swdx.jpg.html) (http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/rich-01/Mobile%20Uploads/th_20141231_093005_zpsjzv7oth4.mp4) (http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/rich-01/Mobile%20Uploads/20141231_093005_zpsjzv7oth4.mp4) Completely different car. I'm still getting use to the xlr8 motor mounts. In order to get the true feeling/response from the car, you have to put up with some vibration at idle especially before it warms up. Tho I expected it, it's still a surprise. As for the sound, cruising it kinda sounds like the j30 at WOT. The PCDs didn't cause any rasp. The overall system does have deep throaty sound to it. I guess that's the monster/beast that I heard so much about. I'm also getting a little tinny noise when the rpm is coming down. It sounds like it's coming from flex section on the j-pipe. I'll check it out and may have to let Richie know. I also have to stop by xlr8 performance to go over why my PS motor mount doesn't line up and my OEM fits with no issue. The clutch will also take a little getting use to. It grabs, some of which is due to it being new, but the 6 puck disc will still grab hard. It's also nice to be driving an unassisted manual car again with the check valve removed from the slave cylinder. Title: Re: Post by: accordguy04 on December 31, 2014, 06:48:27 PM Does the tiny little noise sound kind of like a blow off valve? (For lack of a better description).
If so my v2 PCDs did the same thing coming down from above 3k. Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: NVA-AV6 on December 31, 2014, 09:02:19 PM Sounds mire like something rattling in the exhaust, like a ripped muffle baffle.....
Title: Re: Post by: accordguy04 on December 31, 2014, 09:45:23 PM Ok then mine was prolly somethin different. It almost sounded like the back pressure escaping out of the system.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 01, 2015, 05:50:26 AM I'll take a closer look at it when we get home and am putting in the grommet.
Once again, excellent work Paul. Thanks for everything, I'll hopefully have the engraving done next week. I have to see if the machine is tied up or not Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 01, 2015, 09:15:37 PM We are back home now. Had to exercise a lot of restraint ;D especially when this Genesis Coupe pulled up next to me and down shifted trying to get my attention. Car's running great. It does have a drone at certain rpms under load. May have to look at a better exhaust option later on.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: NVA-AV6 on January 02, 2015, 07:39:57 AM I'll take a closer look at it when we get home and am putting in the grommet. Once again, excellent work Paul. Thanks for everything, I'll hopefully have the engraving done next week. I have to see if the machine is tied up or not After engraving and filling of the engraving I would throw a few wet coats of duplicolor engine clear coat on it....

Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 09, 2015, 08:41:13 PM So today I got to experience the LSD in the snow. I have to say that I'm impress with how the car handled, even with the increased torque and starting off in first gear.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: NVA-AV6 on January 10, 2015, 07:54:38 AM Nice having 2 wheel drive in the snow isn't it...
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: thisaznboi88 on January 10, 2015, 06:31:20 PM Damn it now I want a lsd for my car.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on January 10, 2015, 07:02:53 PM Nice having 2 wheel drive in the snow isn't it... Yes it is :)Damn it now I want a lsd for my car. Yes you do ;DTitle: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on February 16, 2015, 09:56:59 PM Think i may have to brave the cold one of these days to trace down some fuel issues. Best case i find something with the regulator plumbing, worst case i have to pull the mani to check the injectors.
To rule out the tune, i went back to the original Cal that Paul loaded and it still has an issue starting after a hour. Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on April 01, 2015, 08:21:40 PM Progress tracking using VDyno software. This is being used to solely as a means to track gains. Each VDyno run is being done in as similar condition as possible. I'll try to do the same when I put it on an actual dyno. The dyno results will then be compared to the VDyno results so all results can be adjusted accordingly. Results from a dyno maybe lower or higher than VDyno, but from what I've seen, it should be pretty close.
Base after tuning (http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/rich-01/rev17%20wot_zpsnrz1evfy.jpg) (http://s611.photobucket.com/user/rich-01/media/rev17%20wot_zpsnrz1evfy.jpg.html) J36 so far (http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/rich-01/rev54%20vs%20rev57_zpsxowahzwa.jpg) (http://s611.photobucket.com/user/rich-01/media/rev54%20vs%20rev57_zpsxowahzwa.jpg.html) Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on July 28, 2015, 09:43:01 PM (http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/rich-01/20150728_212501_zpsfd9er1bv.jpg) (http://s611.photobucket.com/user/rich-01/media/20150728_212501_zpsfd9er1bv.jpg.html)
It was 90* with 70%humidity. I was sweating my balls off loading calibrations lol. There maybe another video somewhere out there taken by the owners buddy, but here's one I took. The others, I had my fingers in my ear. Between the exhaust, intake and rollers it was deafening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kVnmPNSdHE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kVnmPNSdHE) Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: timot_one on July 28, 2015, 11:57:03 PM That's why I bring ear plugs or some sort of hearing protection when my car is on the dyno. ;)
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: ikethegreat on July 29, 2015, 07:17:17 AM Happy with those numbers?
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on July 29, 2015, 12:41:59 PM I had no expectations really, so yes. We wanted to compare cals. to see best readings instead of doing it on the street. I also have a street log from the same time to compare to the virtual dyno that I've been using. On a side note, according to the Internet, if I add 12-15% to the Dyno Dynamics readings I'll have Dyno Jet readings so that's 310+whp.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: timot_one on July 30, 2015, 02:11:12 PM I think that people assume that all dynos read the same. That's just not true. Even two dynos from the same manufacturer that have been calibrated properly won't read the same. People use dynos as a dick measuring device instead of a tool to measure changes in the tune/parts bolted on.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: Rich01 on July 30, 2015, 02:34:32 PM Exactly. I'm not a number whore. The car pulls hard and will eat my tires if I'm not careful. I'm happy and like to surprise the hell out of people when I hit the gas lol.
Title: Re: [Profile] Rich01 Post by: thisaznboi88 on July 30, 2015, 10:58:30 PM J36 right?

This is what happened when you run a low temp thermostat in winter. Tim and i talked about this last year when I installed it. Rev83 is low temp, rev 85 is OEM: (http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/rich-01/rev83%20vs%20rev85_zpsylfaiche.jpg) (http://s611.photobucket.com/user/rich-01/media/rev83%20vs%20rev85_zpsylfaiche.jpg.html) Now with AEM V2 like CAI rev85 vs rev86 (http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/rich-01/rev85%20vs%20rev86CAI_zpsrkovhrbb.jpg) (http://s611.photobucket.com/user/rich-01/media/rev85%20vs%20rev86CAI_zpsrkovhrbb.jpg.html) Again these are done with Vdyno with all factors being as similar as possible and was very close to an actual DynoJet. Used to compare effects of changes/mods Note to the guys with the IM spacer and running 4" intake tubes, be careful how you orient the clamps. They will hit the hood liner if positioned on top.
