Well first off, let me just say that Dave @ the Whip Factory really knows his ****... thanks a bunch for everything.

He tuned my car out a bit and cleaned up the crap dyno tune I had... little more work tuning and we turned up the boost a little. OMG this car is an absolute animal imo (never has it run so strong), even with it heat soaked in 90+ heat/ humidity! This was at about 10-11 psi on my stock f22b1... custom kit, etc.

If your in the Midwest area and looking for a good tuner, I highly recommend you look him up! (btw thanks to tony1 for recommending him)

So on to the sketchy part.

I was leaving and thought I was headed the wrong way... pulled in a t in the road and was going to turn around. Well I put the truck in R, start backing up... turned the wheel to bring the trailer around and checked my mirrors. Looked good, trailer was coming around and I slowly loose perspective on it from my drivers side mirror as I continue backing. Still slowly backing I look to my passanger mirror (I mean less than a split second)... looks good, exept I am pretty close to edge of the road and about a 12 foot banked drop off. Well as I try to stop to pull forward... it did not stop... well till the trailer slid all the way down the bank, dragging a v10 truck like nothing.

I get out and look at the situation... and yeah all jacked up. Truck was in the middle of the road and trailer was wedged down this huge drop off (at like an off camber 45). I proceed to freak out and loose it, mean while... the sane people were trying to calm me down and help me out.

All said and done it cost me 100 bucks and a big roll back pulled me out... un-scathed somehow. Car stayed perfect on the trailer and everything.

Was quite interesting stuff...

Pic or BS , congrat on the tuned now go beat on it

 

damn, a pic woulda been sweet on that one

 

It was quite a sight... I wish I would have thought about taking a pic of it, but I was so amped up I could not even think straight. I figured I was dead meat and my father was the grinder (since it was his 23 ft. trailer I was using).

And oddly enough, the Police were no where to be found in all this... it took like an hour to get pulled out and back on the road.

Sorry, guess I should have included that info...

stock motor sohc f22b1, for now
custom tubular mani, shorty unequal length
t3 60-1
3" dp
2 3/8" apexi catback, for now... I need bigger
tial wg, 6.5 psi spring, hallman pro mbc

walbro 255
450cc injectors
hondata s2b, p28
battery relocated
etc.

We were mostly tuning on the street although we did get a chance later to go to the dyno but the setup was so heatsoaked that my #'s are off a little (iat's were way up there, cooler was damn hot to the touch)... still made like 236hp / 250ft lbs out of 4th gear, running through the exhaust, and the conservative tune on the low boost. Only made like 2 pulls on the dyno cause it was so hot and humid.

 

any pics? I like the 94-97 accords turbo'd

 

anyone know of a host that I can use... otherwise I can link to a public online album.

 

well here is a public album with some pictures of the car from not to long ago, the ones without front signal lights and lip are older ones.

few things have changed since then but that the general idea.
