As for updates I've been researching k24 stuff and I came up with
*Jackson racing super charger not ordered *440cc injectors not sure what brand *Maybe stronger fuel pump *glow shift gauges *AEM stand alone ecu *new wheels I'm thinking 18" but I really want to put 9.5 wide tires so we'll see how that goes The gauges will be mounted with the map lights so I'll have make new map lights and I will loose the holder for sun glasses Oh and tuners say on average my engine gets 300hp with about 9lbs I think that was all I had to say |

starting on ideas for the overhead gauge cluster

Unless you intend to look like your doing undercover recordings of Bang Bus Accord Edition, maybe angle the gauges towards you more?

So the place that ct gets their sc units at is running late and I'll have to wait yet another week. as for updates I have the new stock rear bumper so I'll be working on that. I bought the corvette door handle pressure plates and latch solenoids so I finally can open my rear doors from the outside. I made the bottom grille hole bigger and It was going to take way to long making my own gas filler door so I went out and bought an aftermarket filler door to ford trucks I mite not keep it. I'll put up some pics soon

Oh I forgot to mention that I went with tein for coilovers and the pics above are currently with tein and that is as low as I can going with 20" wheels. I'm currently looking for 18" that are 9.5" wide or 10" wide
I'll post a pic of the shocks tomorrow. Called ct engineering. They have everything ready except the blower :l Nathan at ct said he'll do his best to send me what he has to prep the car and I expect to receive the blower next Monday 14 |
Looks Pretty cool I would say, But how come maxima tail lights? lol Either way the tail lights for sure work!

What's going in the gauge pods?
|
Good job molding those pods.
You need to commit and finish bondo/paint the car. Even just DIY primer it. Just do it. |

This is awesome and a train wreck at the same time.

Boost eh? What sort of turbo setup are you looking to run? Is this a V6?

update.
so the sc from ct is still on hold..... but is expected to ship wednesday. i did some work to the gauge pods mold i made a final pod but had a small slip-up as you can see with the arrow. tomorrow i plan on installing the gauges and mite make another pod also here is a pic of what they look like powered up. (they change colors) Attachment 21502 Attachment 21503 |

Super charger. And I was thing about a motor swap to the v6 but I rather boost my i4 no vacuum gauge. With a sc there is almost no need for vac gauge. I looked online until my eyeballs fell out for a accord turbo kit. Now there is a video on YouTube with a 09 or 10 accord on a dyno with a turbo? But it also could be a swap anyways.
Your brake assist depends on it lol |

It's a spark ignited gasoline motor, it will still spend plenty of time operating under vacuum.

You should consider more research before attempting a Forced Induction setup, I foresee problems in your future.
Best of luck on your build. The gauge pod looks well done. |
Well I hope I'm right! Churches automotive tuning is the only place I found near Orange County that has supercharged my engine before and appear to be most knowledgable of my engine. Why is it you say I'll need a vac gauge?
|
Well the boost gauge you have in the picture reads vacuum.. my comment was more directed towards this statement:
With a sc there is almost no need for vac gauge Unlike a turbo I'm not cutting or T-ing into my vac system and if my vac system springs a leak it should only cause egr or emitions problems. If I'm correct I believe a vac leak on a turbo system can lead to over boost or under boost mainly affecting the pustons. From what I was told I only have to have oil and fuel press anything else (vac,boost,and water temp) is opitional but recommend. (For a sc) A turbo needs almost all of them You will need sources from behind the throttle plate that see both vacuum and boost for several pieces of hardware and they are required for tuning in your setup. Tapping the manifold with a -4 or -6 line and running them to a vacuum block may be more useful to you if you do not wish to touch your existing vacuum line routing. |
I see what you mean. once the sc comes in I'll give you accurate info
