Regarding the post I made earlier about my trip to the Bellingham dyno day a few months back, https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1 I was seriously dumbfounded as to why my numbers were so low! Anyway, I was cleaning my foam filter and blew down on the tube to blow out maybe some small debris and heard something fall down. Jacked the car up to do my oil change and put my hand in the intake arm to pull out a fist-sized styrofoam piece! It must have been there since I got my car back so I think that's why I got low numbers. Someone said that there was air being restricted.


It was being sucked perfectly into the hole just under the filter!!

 

hahaha, atleast it wasn't a bird

 

hahaha you retard... but the car feels much smoother now, and my butt dyno said that there was about 10 more HP lol but those damn people at hinshaws... first the aresol can and now this... I say you sue

 

SUE, or atleast complain,maybe you can get free service or something.Anyways Glad you figured it out, now Re-Dyno and let me know what my old Beast put's down. later

 

nightrider: you have more pics of the FBP + JDM front end? don't see too many black R's with the JDM front. would like to see some good pics

Sometimes things just happen, or are YOUR OWN fault! How about that!!!!

 

Where did it come from? Only styrofoam I can think of is from the 5 mph bumper support (thingies)

pretty sure it came from the Hinshaw Honda's Autobody shop when they put the front end on,(maybe came from the packing material) the only way it could get in was from being dropped in through the top with the filter off

yeah, it was honda hinshaw's mistake because they repaired all the body damage from the wreck my friend put my car through. they installed the icebox so the styrofoam must've dropped in there and they didn't notice it. also, a couple weeks after i had my car back, i was poking around in my motor bay and in the back there was an aresol can chillin'!! they do however do excellent work and the problems that i did have, they jumped on it with good service so no worries.

i plan on getting on the dyno in the spring if there's another dyno day. if not then, i'm gonna wait until kenji's ECU or VAFC or both.

 

so it couldn't have been sucked up there in everyday driving?

I frequently find leaves, small children, etc in mine.

come on David...Hondata

Glad to see that it
s not something mechanical thats hindering the performance. We were so dumbfounded when Jay's B16 put down more power

 

Which one is Hinshaw's?

I'm applying at Acura of Bellevue . Talked to the manager already too. GoodYear Gemini just isn't cutting it

Spring? Maybe i'll have my ITR by then. We can make a run down there and be dyno buddies

yeah, and I personally dont think it could of been sucked up from everyday driving (don't see how something that big could of gotten through the bottom of the intake) ... and you should complain to Acura, maybe you can get something free, or some more work comped??

 

Hell yeah, i wouldn't let them touch that car again just get a discount on some parts.Thats unacceptable ,I bet when they installed it some of the packing material snuck it's way into the arm and became lodged.

 

David, never ceases to show me what a kid he still is
