Amazing effort!!!

And a couple of peeps asked me to make one for them... Went ahead and made for GK and for GE...



GE

GK
I recommend any of these TB's for any stock engine FIT

GMB6A CiViC Si 06-11 61mm
GMB1A Accord-TSX 04-05 61mm
GMB2A Odyssey 2006 2.4L 61mm
GMA0A CR-V 2005-06 61mm

YES I know Certain company sells something similar including the TB... BUT you can snatch a TB for anything between $20 to $100 in GOOD condition and still wont cost what they charge for the "kit" and if I'm not mistaken it doesnt include hardware (not sure about this)...

Anyways that's that!!!
great contribution to the community! Go El Kaku ftw!!!

That's pretty sweet! Do you happen to know if the stock airbox/intake tubing is compatible? Or do you have to switch everything from the throttlebody up stream?

Well if an aftermarket intake is gonna be used.. It wont cause an issue but in my case, since in my GK decided to keep/mod the oem airbox I took off the oem elbow from the box (it can be pried off carefully without breaking anything) and used a 90° silicone elbow (63mm to 70mm)

Built Motor Shipping From Golden Eagle

Finally the dark winter is ending. Hoping to get the motor and the head together by mid March and take to Precision Machine for cam measurements and to set the timing. Then swap motors. Hoping to fire it up on 95 octane until I can get it tuned on E85 plus methanol injection...


more pics next week when the motor arrives!

Also got a 18 accord low horn. Planning on putting it in someday. Seems like a pain. And I don't really know which one is low or high so I'll probably look at both and compare... and test .


Could you please give more details on your cup holder liner thing?

Broke my moonroof 😭😭😭

Could anybody help. So I installed a moonroof my girl got for the fit and I know it’s a oem cuz I sent her the link to purchase it (she hates present shopping). So after I installed it the moonroof closed just fine that night and the next day but that next night after work for whatever reason it wouldn’t close proper and made a nasty gear/plastic like crunch coming from the roof. Now it won’t close or open much. I managed to get it to close for the most part but idk how to go about this. I believe the motor to move the glass is fine still since it does still move a little!? I tried to do the reset thing but no luck! I’ll post pictures of the moonroof and the reset that I’m taking about.

Yeah, that doesn't sound good.
I'm thinking you should take it in and get the pros to take a look at it.

I got the windows tinted while at work. 15% on the back windows and trunk, 70% ceramic on the front windows. Kept it CA legal with the front tint because I live down the street from a sheriff station and park on the street.
