Default New setup upgrades... (LOTSA PICS)

Welp... Finally got her back together last night.. Lotsa fixes and upgrades:

New H23 Tranny
New Downpipe setup.
New motormounts
Heatwrapped pipes (Downpipe, coldside charge pipe, and Wastegate dump)
Ceramic coated manifold (2000 degree coating)

3 BAR MAP
ARP headstuds / copper sprayed OEM headgasket (No more overheating!!!)
New radiator
New thermostat

AND MY FAVORITE (Sick of my breather pissing oil all over) ...THE HMT CATCH CAN (see pics)

The car makes boost WAY faster, and withhout touching the MBC = makes 3-4 more PSI...need to get retuned for 14-15 psi (untill the new motor is done. Also, I can actually feel the difference in the trannys gearing as opposed to the stock f22 as well. No more coolant pushing either, i could see where the head gasket was leaking- it looked like the rear of all 4 cylinders. SO nice to have everything ironedout now!!! (Third gear is nice to have again too!!!)

SOHC POWA FTW!!!!

Enjoy... or not...

ARP MADNESS!!!



Cerimic coated LSD mani:







New Downpipe an Wastegate Dump...



Wrap it up B!!!!





HMT catch can madness!!!!!! (THIS THING REALLY WORKS!!!):


All perty and ----...

Do you like the h23 tranny better? and what clutch did you use?
Yes, DADDY LIKEEE HIS NEW TRANNY!!!!

The h23 1st gear is the same, but 2nd third and fourth are about .100 shorter, fith just a bit shorter, and the FD is the same as the f22b1 tranny. Cruising at 80 the difference in RPM is really minor...Its subtle, .but i can really feel the difference in how it pulls going through the gears,, especially with the setup being as efficient as it is now with all the little "finishing work - all the little stuff made a considerable change, as i mentioned, i didnt touch the boost controller- and when i beat it after puttin it back togetyher, I was seeing 13.5psi, before i only got 10....SWEET HUH!!!! Had to turn it down to 11 though cause thats all im tuned to. Im gonna get it retuned for 14-15 though soon

I was REALLY pleased to find out how good the motor looked inside after 6-7 months and 15-20 k miles of CONSTANT abuse, the F motors rock!!!! LOL

As for cluth- Im Running the XTD (E-gay) 6 puck Ceramic stage 3 w/ Chromemoly flywheel.... LOVE IT, im pushing around 260 WHP and 270 tq at 10psi, and it hasnt slipped once.

Wanna get retuned SOON, when it was hitting 13 psi, the tires lit up in third abput 4k..... I bet i was seeing around 310-320 whp... Just wanna be safe and wait for the retune though!!!

Thanks for the compliments guys, yes its a 94 Accord ex..

Spike

I know it man... LOL, Ill be going endyn in a couple weeks, but it really does work great, my buddy (whos shop i used to do the work) said YOU BETTER NOT TELL ANYONE THAT WAS MY IDEA.... I sad, "---- ------, i wouldnt give you the credit for the HMT love ...".

Ive seen worse, but never thought one would end up in my car!!!! But alas, work it does.... Really well.... No more oil spew out the breathe... i stuffed some steel wool in it too, There is no noticeable content after a couple days of constant abuse either. Tight motor!!!
