K & N Cold Air, Throttle Body Spacer
Hi All:
I originally posted this by error in the "Forced Induction" and was informed that was the wrong area so I am re-posting here concerning two of my mods to my 2009 Accord Coupe V-6 and are as follows:
K & N Typhoon Cold Air Intake - Upon installation, I noticed a difference in throttle response and mileage as well as a subtle kick in the pants HP wise, along with a bit more intake sound. Per K & N dyno testing, adds 10+ HP and 10+ FPT
P2R Throttle Body Spacer and Thermal Gaskets - Pretty much as above without any sound differential. Per P2R, adds 6+ HP and 5+ FPT
This improved breathing on the intake side is further enhanced by my exhaust system mods as described in the "All Motor" section and the ECU re-flash with performance module in the "Engine Management & Tuning" sections.

Hi All:
...mods to my 2009 Accord Coupe V-6 and are as follows:
K & N Typhoon Cold Air Intake - Upon installation, I noticed a difference in throttle response and mileage as well as a subtle kick in the pants HP wise, along with a bit more intake sound. Per K & N dyno testing, adds 10+ HP and 10+ FPT
P2R Throttle Body Spacer and Thermal Gaskets - Pretty much as above without any sound differential. Per P2R, adds 6+ HP and 5+ FPT
This improved breathing on the intake side is further enhanced by my exhaust system mods:
Greddy Spectrum Elite (SE) Cat-Back Exhaust System - very nice growl and not as pronounced as the MagnaFlows. Burnished Titanium tips really turn heads on a double-take. Per Greddy dyno adds 8+ HP and 6+ FPT
RV6 Hi-Flow Ceramic Coated Pre-cat Manifolds and extended length J-Pipe which deletes rear cat converter which has no sensors and is only there for the ULEV rating. REALLY adds to the lovely growl emanating from those Greddy cat-backs. Per RV6 dyno adds 14+ HP and 14+ FPT
I have made the following upgrades in the Engine Management System:
Jet Products Hi-Flow Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF / MAP)
Jet Products V-Force Plus Performance Module - provides mild progamming and LCD read-out of many engine performance parameters including battery charging and gas mileage efficiency. Per Jet dyno figures, Sensor and Performance Module 5+ HP and 3+ FPT
Jet Products Re-flash of OEM Engine Control Unit (ECU / PCM). Per Jet dyno figures using 89 octane minimum 12+ HP and 14+ FPT with unknown additional HP and FPT enhancement by optimizing the other intake and exhaust modifications noted in other sections of the forum.
I will be doing a dyno run this Friday using 93 octane 100% gas (no power robbing mileage reducing ethanol garbage) and will post results in the dyno section. I will then try and do any tuning tweaks available based on those initial results.

According to what i assume are manufactures HP claims you've listed you should expect to see 55hp increase on the dyno. some rough math: 278hp (factory rating)/0.85 (15% loss to the wheels)=236hp. Add the 55 also accounting for losses... i hope to see 283hp from your dyno run. good luck!

Re: K & N Cold Air, Throttle Body Spacer
did i get it all? So have you done a "before" dyno run or "baseline" to see if all your bucks have made much of a bang? Let's say you got good deals, 50% off list price on everything you've mentioned that's still $1,700 in bolt-ons.

However, I do have a baseline dyno run for an '08 Accord Sedan V-6, but with an auto slushbox which did not allow a solid 3rd gear pull due to it wanting to upshift well before redline. That figure running 93 octane 10% ethanol was 211.57 brake HP and 188.74 FPT by Temple of VTEC www.vtec.net I gotta believe that with the advantage of the six speed manual tranny and 93 octane 100% gas, I could have done better than those stock figures. I hope to see better than 283 BHP, but we shall see on Friday. Then I will investigate any possible tweaks to those figures with the fanatical Hondaphile tuner at this shop.
