I found out the problem with Accord R fuel tank. Totally different to any other Honda. There is a small swirl pot which the fuel pump is in, put any pump in there it will not give more than around 360whp. So i need to modify this swirl pot and allow more fuel to flow. Will do this soon.

Car arrived tonight, i had to have alittle go.

Quick boost test video & pics & dyno graph here:

I do Stew.....just not very well. lol.

Joe, will be looking at Oulton / Donington / Silverstone etc.

Might enter the car into something and event or series etc.

Had an email from Ben yesterday, most of the work i asked for is done, just waiting for a pipe for the airfilter, then cam timing play and remap.

Then testing to see how she goes for a while. Weather is pants.

After the changes, cars making 475hp @ 1.1bar but looks like the pump is going off again. Damn it lol. Thinking of putting in a bigger internal pump as the fuel tank modification is doing the trick.

490hp @ 1.2bar lol but pump was low.

Current remains as 475hp @ 1.1bar and 360lbft.

Ive asked the guys to try something on the pump side of things which may get us over the 500hp mark for now.

Well i came home today, and the snow started falling hard frown Wasnt going anywhere as the battery is pretty much flat, its been in a warehouse of the transport company i use and they have been moving it alittle but the battery was pretty much flat. Was going to put it on trickle charge but with this weather there is no point.

Currently at 1.1bar 475fwhp / 405whp / 360lbft (fly)

Will upload graph tomorrow as ive left it in the car. Took a few pic's before i went hiking.

Still need to do:

Fit Rear Arms
Fit UR Rear ARB
Heatwrap Rad Pipes
Custom Intake Hard Pipe (Heatwrap and fit HKS Mushroom Filter)
Fit Bonnet Vent
Cut out Grille
Have bonnet rolled (where turbo is)
Spray intercooler black and black mesh over

Then drive it for abit i guess, when the weather picks up. Until then i might go drop it off at the body shop.

Anyway some quick pics.

Holy st!

That thing's going to be a monster! I'm liking the standard look of it too, should surprise quite a few other cars!!

Might be a noobish question but when you add a Turbo to a VTEC motor, do you need to alter the VTEC system in any way or does it just continue working as normal? I suppose when the VTEC does kick in at 6000 (or whatever) it would be a much bigger kick because of the Turbo?
