what did you end up finding out about the tranny?

PhxKid92 02-19-2012 10:32 PM

i took it down to tsr and had aaron drive it and he found the 6th gear....so iv been told that the transmission probably has the 6th gear stack from a acura tsx installed.....when ever u have time come by check it out

Bruticus 02-19-2012 10:37 PM

I think you misunderstood what I said, all he has is an intake, I'd talk to Joe before I'd pull the trigger with Kpro and tuning with JUST a stock engine and an intake.

You have more than few bolt ons, obviously Kpro fits your puzzle.

johnehonda 02-19-2012 10:42 PM

I'm gonna have to. I feel like a tard for missing out

johnehonda 02-19-2012 10:44 PM

he has a type r swap which dosen't need your average bolt-ons.

PhxKid92 02-19-2012 10:46 PM

lol let me know when you want to stop by...but yes driving on the freeway is much more pleasant now then being stuck in 5th btw the car has excellent compression so its nice and healthy lol

johnehonda 02-19-2012 10:51 PM

will do buddy

PhxKid92 02-19-2012 10:52 PM

cool are you still going to the rsx meet?

johnehonda 02-19-2012 10:55 PM

I'm gonna try... I have to work that mourning but should be out by the time its over

PhxKid92 02-19-2012 10:59 PM

damn that sucks....did u ever pick up a new ride or still getting a house

johnehonda 02-19-2012 11:05 PM

PhxKid92 02-19-2012 11:09 PM

johnehonda 02-19-2012 11:11 PM

heroyo 02-20-2012 01:46 PM

definitely a right choice as kpro=coilovers>rims>seats

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-20-2012 02:03 PM


I didn't misunderstand. Joe can give that car an aggressive tune and still have gains. not to mention Kpro will open up many more possibilities for him..

as for me, i/h/e = boltons.

You are correct in the I needed Kpro more so because I have the k20a3 and in order to change the intake mani you need kpro...

also Kpro came in handy when I needed to calibrate my TPS hehe

Fix.it.again.Tony 02-20-2012 02:04 PM

this..lol

PhxKid92 02-20-2012 09:08 PM

cant wait to get this car tuned

Dead Bird 02-20-2012 09:15 PM

What intake manifold is on it?
Prc?

PhxKid92 02-20-2012 09:19 PM

yes i indeed have the prc manifold

Bruticus 02-21-2012 05:12 PM

so, you guys are saying that the JDM K20A is under tuned from the factory? and even though he has only an intake he is going to see substantial gains? I realize tuning is key but I would think that you'd want to wait until you had more bolt ons to go tune or, are you guys simply doing base tune swaps between users?

Dead Bird 02-21-2012 05:53 PM

Trade me for my prb!

I highly doubt that joe would not be able to squeeze out more power @ the wheels than a stock type-r map.

Would I personally prefer to wait until I had some better bolt ons? Yes, absolutely, but if he isn't planning on spending 600 on a header, another 500 for upgraded intake mani/tb/adapter, and however much a good exhaust costs, then may as well squeeze out every last pony possible in it's current status, since that's only 400...

PhxKid92 02-21-2012 07:14 PM

absolutely not lol and im not looking for major gains just looking for a good running daily drive with a little bit more umpff when i need it

Dead Bird 02-21-2012 07:32 PM

Trade me cars then.

Mine is faster and probably better mpg's

PhxKid92 02-21-2012 07:34 PM

yea lets do it.... you know what better yet EWWW

Dead Bird 02-21-2012 07:50 PM

Hahahaha

PhxKid92 02-21-2012 07:59 PM

lol are you going to get another rsx again in the future?

Dead Bird 02-21-2012 08:05 PM

I want to so bad.

Wish I could sell my car, keep kpro, and pick up an 02-04 type-s

PhxKid92 02-21-2012 08:07 PM

how the hell did u flip your old one ? john was telling me you barely had it for a couple of weeks

Dead Bird 02-21-2012 08:29 PM

We were at the mountain on the way to lake bartlet.

I passed joe on the outside, then started climbing the hill we were coming up to. I caught air over the crest, the rear end slid out in the air, I couldn't correct when landed, the back end dipped into a ditch and kept sliding in the ditch until I hit a bump where a road intersects the road I was on. Hit that bump, and I think I fipped in he air over, landed on my roof in the side of the mountain in a tree

PhxKid92 02-21-2012 08:34 PM

that is nuts dude ...its all joe's fault next time u see him kick him in his nads lol but seriously that sucks atleast you came out of it alright... it could have been alot worse from the sound of it
