On Saturday the 15th I installed the Toda header. Below you can see the diff btw it and the Comptech it replaced.
I dropped the Comptech out the bottom and tried to put the Toda in that way but it's shaped differently and wouldn't fit. You can see here the tolerance to the motor mount is very tight: And here's it is installed in the engine bay:
On Monday 2010/05/17 I hauled up to Sacramento to get my TPD trailer waxed at TPD's facilities. They also removed the giant and irrelevant "hondachallenge.com" stickers. After that I took the car over to Driving Ambition (click the link below for some pics of a killer NSX racecar they service) for a re-tune since I installed a new jethot-coated Toda header last weekend. The old header was a 4-into-1 design while the new header is a 4-2-1 design. As expected, we were able to lower the VTEC point and greatly improve the midrange: >15wtq in 4-5.5k range and more peak power too. That's not all due to the header change - the previous tune was a bit too rich. Overall the powerband felt great and the fuel economy improved too. Shad also removed extraneous offset the AEM was applying to the AFR sensor input. So now the Zeitronix and AEM are showing the same values. Bonus. |
