reinstalled ignition system.. relocated filter..



temporary boost controller.. tial wastegate...

 

can we see a whole engine bay pic?

 

I second that motion

 

It real pretty and all, but why in the world did you mount that ignition box like that? Trying to make it double as a heat sheild? Thats not such a good idea. It should stay as cool as possible.

 

well it was the only way i could bolt it down and still adjust the rev limiter. i'll probably put a heat shield in front of it eventually. how do you suggest i mount it? i don't want to mount it on the firewall to reduce messy wiring...

edit--pix of the whole engine will come later...

Its kind of hard to say how to mound it without being there. But try mounting it to the side near the i/c pipe.

 

yeah i've thought of that place.. but a bunch of water gets through there....

 

Straighten that intake pipe and mount in on the wheel well where that pipe bends.

 

you should try and make the pipe as straight as possibly anyways

 

What kind of manifold is that?

 

drag gen 4

 

what kind of wastegate? tial?

 

yeah it's a tial

here's the over view of the engine..sorry it's kinda blurry

 

very hard on the eyes. i dont really like all the engine dress up kit but what color is your car? How many lbs you running? ever been dyoned tracked? any internal work (i might have missed a thread saying what you have done if so forgive me for i have sinned). thanks

yeah i need to take off all that blue crap . i had it on back in the days...

color is sage green.. running about 5.8 lbs (.4 bars)... i'm not going on the dyno or going to the track until i get my fuel setup completed... no internal work at all... my engine is very healthy right now ... compression of 190, 190, 190, 195.

 

what do you have in mind for fuel? do you have aftermarket clutch and flywheel?
i think if you straightned out the filter instead of having it angled to the back of the engine bay like that, it might be more productive, this way you wont get 'hotter' air

edit spelling owns me

550cc injectors, hondata, aem fuel rail, walbro pump, and earl's fittings for the lines... too expensive... need money....

I'm on the original clutch and flywheel... but will definitely upgrade later..

edit: the filter was actually below my starter at first... then i recently moved it there..

i would do clutch and flywheel before fuel thats just me, because i knwo if i had my fuel and igintion setup then i would start upping the boost, but thats just me. who did your piping? i cant belive they would put the filter under the starter

 

there was no room at all..... and that was the only place open for a filter.. accord engines are so freakin cramped...sucks.. yeah i'll probably upgrade the clutch after the fuel... i think i have enough self control to not up the boost that much hehe.

oh and everything is by drag... prototype kit..

 

regarding the f-max kit how come it looks so much cleaner of in install then the drag? taken from niedejb ( hope you dont mind buddy took me forver to remember your name...hehe) look at yours vs this, does it look cleaner or is it just me. (not knocking your install at all). i wish it was a whole engine bay pic but couldnt find any on his page.

Ignition brain: put it in the car. I have a HI-6 too which has been in the engine compt for years now, but if i could do it all over again i'd put it in the car. I probobly will when i drop in the new engine and rewire the harness.

this is where mine is right now



yah my ***** ugly right now.. haha whatever move on.

Otherwise: looking good homie.

far as the engine dressup crap goes.. who cares just get it rolling use polka dot for all you care.

 

i guess i should make a little mounting stand for the ignition system. i'll see what i can come up with...

i think my engine looks messy because of the picture... here's old pic but better quality....

Freak, silicone around the intercooler piping and then you can put the ign. stuff on the battery plate... look at my pics again, i have my boost cntrl and ignition stuff there, no water problems.

 

whos selling that new Drag gen4 manifold accordfreak... cheaply.

 

thanks BMM89
