1  K Series Performance / Bolt Ons / Re: How To: 2.4L Throttle Body Coolant Bypass on: December 13, 2015, 10:09:59 PM
ok, so heres my review after sometime. Now i cant be sure if any changes i noticed are attributed to this modification, because i got some exhaust mods done not too long before this...

but I felt that there is a better throttle response. Also, one of my friends was messing around and blipping the throttle, and he said it felt "tighter" he has a 8th gen k24...

this mod is worth it! also, i reread the directions atleast 50 times or so, over a period of a 6-8 months before attempting it. When it time to do it myself, i did this mod in under 5 minutes. Time it took for hood raising, tool gathering and other preparatory measures is not included.

Georgia weather is quite extreme and dramatic at times...
I'm not entirely sure if doing this will yield positive results if the winter is cold....

Thanks Tim,

It was this thread that helped me make the right decision.

Do you know about Sachs clutch? Apparently their brand clutch and flywheel are mated to the transmission.
The pedal feels softer than before, but works fine.

This whole setup you've designed here. That's if you are willing...

It's a 5 to 6spd conversion.
I just got my car back. Let me tell you how  Huh? I was when I did my first (conservative) pull.
There is definitely a huge difference!
I recommend this swap for any enthusiast that plans on keeping their accord for another 2-3 years.

Obviously every year pulls harder. Even 6th feels like it's pulling harder than my old 5th.

Today is the day I'm supposed to get my car back...took long enough.. I'm told to call by 10 am..
I've been driving my dads weekend tank...Its a 2004 Ford Expedition NBX...It HANDLES like sedan! but its HUGE!!! feels like I'm in a monster truck it's supposed to have some crazy suspension setup from factory...sadly it only gets 8-10 mpg with the 5.4..and I've been dailying it...

NEED MY ACCORD BACK!

I will tell you all what it feels like, hopefully they got the job done right...from what I've read, it should be too tough for a professional shop..but there are mad mechanics everywhere!

Tim,

I doubt the rebuilders installed limited slip diff...the owner of the transmission shop said he called and confirmed, but i doubt some transmission rebuilding company will just randomly throw that diff on there..Unless they are performance minded...Ill have the owner of the shop check again once the tranny is here.

Anyways, hope this all turns out well..i miss driving my car..

So i live in Atlanta, GA...
Sampson in South Florida specializes in k24a4 engine tuning....


Im not sure if i should drive down there and get Ktuner or have it ordered..??
how would he tune my car from so far away..? i'm in the dark about this...

When i spoke to him..i gathered this much:

Either i come down there, and he does it all..

Or

He sends me everything i need (Ktuner + 05 ecu) and i do street tuning myself?

anyone want to chime in?

I am currently having this done..
My 5mt took a complete crap...I really have no idea what happened, but i am told the internal bearing broke off? and it destroyed the casing inside...the guy recommended a rebuilt transmission..
I told him to just go ahead and drop in a 6 speed TSX transmission with a decent clutch kit.
Since this is an auto repair chain, I am paying around $2200 for a rebuilt transmission, $425 for the clutch kit and around $600 for the labor. We're taking no short cuts and I had the guy order Modifry Yellowjacket and wire the reverse lockout.

I think he was lied to by the transmission rebuilders, they are telling him that it has LSD, but after researching a little, Ive realized the TSX does not come with this differential...I will try to get him to lower the price a bit because of this...but deep inside, im hoping the rebuilders put LSD on there for sh*ts and giggles...

nice accord..I have one like it, minus the navi.

I am curious though..why did you spend so much money on wheels and body stuff, when you could've spent the same or a bit more to get the horrible dents out of the side panel..?

I am not calling you out or anything..I once had a prelude which had a giant, deep dent in the rear quarter panel. It always bugged me till the day i got rid of the car...
It is an expensive job, but you'll love your car way more after the job.

If i made an actual salary, i would actually pay my local body shop to take each and every ding out of my cars body..I also love my cm7

anyways, welcome to the forum.
P.S. Excuse me if this subject has already been discussed..

I used the P2R gasket between the injector base and the IM..
I have 5MT and I did not notice a difference with the swap.

here is an older video that was taken briefly...

It isnt a really good representation, especially since I came to a hill towards the end. In reality, the acceleration is smooth and consistent till 110.
