    Shoutout to FFC for the caliper brackets, extended top hats, and shifter bushings! Also ordered in a new Hondata gasket as well. Waiting on the extended top hats and dust boot from HeelToe and the coilovers will go on.

      I finally got around to taking my car to the shop to get the headers/exhaust put on, injectors/fuel rail put on, and intake made since the one I had was thin and crappy. James Emmino at EBtec really did an awesome job on this thing. The intake came out even better looking than I imagined. I love that it's the same size as the throttle body versus before where it had to use a upsizing coupler just to mount to the throttle body.

      Here's a picture of the muffler peaking out the back



      Kind of hard to see the fuel rail. I didn't realize it sat so much closer to the intake.




      Sooo prettyyyy.





      Here she is before the tune.








      Here's they final dyno pull. James made this car come alive. It's so smooth now while driving it feels like a totally different car.

          Yeah man. The tune smoothed the whole car out. I was doing 80mph in a 45 last night and didn't even realize it. I plan on taking it up to our drag strip this friday.

            Word of adivce if you completely tear down those RL calipers, use heat to get those torx head bolts off. And if you do happen to damage them, the 1995 to 2000 Lexus LS400 caliper hat bolts will work minus the longer bolts that are on inner part the top hat.

            I know a lot of guys use the rebuild kit from FFC but I was just told that those ARP bolts arent meant for caliper use.

              Yeah I don't plan on tearing them down yet. I wanna get them on and all the kinks worked out first.

                Time to finally get these coilovers on. I went with the Tein Street Advance with FFC extended top hats up front.

                    Those FFC top hats just slide over the top of the coil over assembly right? I’m not even completely slammed and I bet those would still help some. That’s a nice setup.

                      Yeah they go right on over. They're nice and well built I definitely recommend them. PLUS FFC is having a tax time sale (that I missed of course) so now is the time to buy lol.

                        Finished the BBK upgrade. I had to change rims since my others wouldn't clear the calipers without spacers

                        Before


                        After


                        About a week after finishing the brakes my oil light came on going into work. It was a half quart low so I topped it off and thought nothing of it after the light went away. Then it happened again the next day. I did an oil pressure test and it hovered around 30psi when cold and then slowly dropped to 0 when warm .

                        Cold


                        Warm


                        I swapped the motor out with a spare h23 I had in the garage last night with the help of a buddy. All that's left is to bleed the clutch and figure out why it doesn't want to idle when it's warmed up.

                          Sucks about your H23A having the oil pump crap out on you. Anymore with any engine's I bring home, I put a new water pump, idler bearings and timing belt on. I also take the oil pump to the machine shop and have them check all the clearances on the gears. My H22A1 pump was toast, but my F22B DOHC pump was almost new, the F20B DOHC pump was in the middle ground for Honda, and my F23A1 pump is actually at the tight end of Honda's specs. Keeps for ease of mind, and helps prevent situations like this. It really doesn't cost much to just have a machine shop check the specs on them.

                          Anyway glad to see that you got it out hopefully before any damage was done to the engine. Glad to see that you are keeping this Accord on the road irregardless of what is happening to it though.

                            Long story short is the spare motor was bad as well and the car has been sitting in storage for 6 months. Good news is the shop took my old motor apart and it was just a bad oil pump. They're doing new bearing, polishing the crank, and installing the KS tuned balance shaft delete/oem oil pump. That should be done soon and then back in the car she goes.

                              Here it is a year later and I just dropped the cb7 off at the shop a couple weeks ago to get finished. Since my last post I had my guy put in skunk2 pro2 cams and valve train. So now they will be swapping the engines, putting a f22 5th gear in the transmission, installing a catch can setup, nitrous kit, fuel pump, and a few other goodies. Hopefully I'll have it back in the next month or so and I'll be moving up that power board.
