---- some of these cars have 300,000 km's on them. Some have factory steel, some have fiber felpro style. I usally use victor steel, same as factory on the turbo cars with new head bolts. They all have craked heads to, in between the valve seats :P

I ran it on the dyno in training mode this morning and it keeps failing the e-tests...i tried hot....hot with airbox open and heat on with dyno fan...and cold....its not failing by big numbers so im going to clean the injectors and try putting in some of that methane or methanol crap....see how it goes..

I see a ton of turbo dodge's fail for nox on the e-test at my shop, if it's fairly close run it warm, but toss a big fan at the front, then take a garden hose and run it on the rad while doing the test, makes a huge difference on nox and will drop it up to 200-300 pnts...older accords suffer the same problem, usually do to clogged egr ports so they always fail nox as well....
