jus curious. post what you broke first lol

i broke an axle

then wheel studs

then clutch

 

^i guess so lol.
piratemcfred...good to see you agian. your threads have tought me quite a bit.

 

So far just two axles and some old mounts :crosses fingers:

 

nothing so far! 30,00 km. Fingers crossed.

 

2 set of axels, really need to work on my preload or stop using autozone lifetime warranty axels thats bout it, 10-13k miles so far!

 

#3 rod let go....Had to start over. Broke at 6500rpm while doing a pull. Was a 2005 Z1 with 30k on it.

 

Any more info on the setup? Pistons, rods, etc?

 

Well, my particular setup doesn't belong in this section because its a boosted setup.

Stock Z1 , prb intake, supertech seats/springs/retainers. Custom T4 divided manifold, GT4088r w/ 4" DP. 1000cc RC injectors. 18psi on E85 runnng Kpro. Made 370whp for about 1.5 years and had just been retuned on E85 making 480whp for about 2 months. Only the block and baffle plate were wasted, oil pan, oil pump, crank and head all fine.

 

swapped since 2004 and have yet to break anything!

 

About 4 axles.... Then a clutch at the end of the year lol

 

All motor,Pure road race car - Swap since 2007. Used K20A3, K20A, K24 and more... Other than burning alot of TPS sensors initially and binding one axle. I have not broke anything, just spun a few rod bearings here and there.

 

I needed new brakes right away! Lol

 

Timing chain tensioner broke after off in the block within 200 miles of getting my swap running. Lesson learned: don't make large purchases from shady people over the internet. There were numerous things wrong with/missing from the swap that I bought, including a dead ECU.

I bought another shortblock that I was going to just swap in and leave stock, but I ended up deciding to throw pistons and rods in it, and ended up with a fully built 2.0 liter.

 

2 axles, a clutch, and #3 cylinder wall.

 

Bent some valves due to over-rev (learn to drive, nub) but got to pull my motor out and rebuild the head... dropped in some cams, dual springs, retainers, .5mm over, mild port/polish, RBC intake : D

Broke my TPS on the dyno... bought the k-tuned aluminum TPS...

 

TPS sensors without a doubt are the most wide spread problem amongst K-series users. I started a whole TPS thread on k20a just to solve the problem and thanks to that, Ktuned is using that thread as a marketing tool and selling sensors like mad. I still prefer the REAL honda OEM sensors, it is the aftermarket OEM knock offs that are the big problem like BWR and Omni.

 

To be perfectly honest, I still havent gotten mine quite right... I tried the BWR and the Omni and had quite a few problems... I have the ktuned sensor on there now, but theres still an issue... seems like at very low throttle, the car balks and randomly misses... almost as if theres a hole in the kal for that range...

I prefer OEM stuff as well, but the only way to get an OE TPS is to buy an OE throttle body... and Acura is very, very proud of that thing ($$$$)
