#321 of 330 Re: Adding more HP in my 93' Accord EX [paisan] by cybercool May 29, 2008 (3:23 am)
Replying to: paisan (May 28, 2008 6:44 pm) Hey Mike   I read online somewhere it said the cold air intake part and flowmaster will allow more oxygen flow and will control better fuel consumption. Is this somewhat true?   I don't want more loudness, I've seen flowmasters that dont make too much noise, it has that nice varoom sound.    Thanks, Jim Replies to this message: paisan (May 29, 2008 4:07 pm)

Replying to: cybercool (May 29, 2008 3:23 am) Not sure about the Accord specifically, but at best it's a marginal (less than 1mpg) gain.   -mike

Replying to: cybercool (May 27, 2008 7:19 pm) Cybercool...   One thing I've heard about with those air intakes is that the air filtration isn't so great - which makes sense given the claim increased air flow.   The problem I see with these is that with the modest gains you might get in performance, you're also allowing impurities to enter which would otherwise be filtered.   Depends upon what you're after but, for my money, I wouldn't bother - you're just setting yourself up for problems down the road.   Just my 2 cents...

Replying to: finzz (May 30, 2008 9:23 am) I've had great luck with the K&N, saved me when offroading a few times by preventing mud and water from getting the the intake of my 00 Trooper.   Also helps the environment cause it is re-used rather than thrown away!   -mike

#327 of 330 2007 Accord EX sway bars by lilengineerboy Oct 10, 2008 (5:43 pm)
So it seems the Accord and I are going to be together a while. In an effort to make the vehicle less, eh, dull, I am looking to add the Acura TL 17 mm rear sway bar. My vehicle is a 2007 Accord EX 4 cyl 5 speed stick. Apparently, the 17 mm rear sway bar from the Acura TL is a drop in with a little "pro-bending" on the exhaust system mounting bracket. It was also suggested that the front tie bar or stress bar or whatever you want to call it (the thing that ties the shock towers together) be added to the front at the same time. I am curious if anyone has done this yet and if they were happy with it. There is a HUGE front sway bar available as well, but the 2+ hours of removing and re-installing the front cradle doesn't appeal to me (gotta love Honda, like how on the '93 you have to take the entire suspension apart to replace the front brake rotors...). So, 4 cylinder Accord, 17mm rear bar, front strut tower brace...looks like its south of $200. Anyone done it?

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Oct 10, 2008 5:43 pm) It should give you less push in the turns. A larger front sway would probably negate the positive effects of the larger rear sway, however larger sways all around would yield less lean in the turns.   Let us know how it works out!   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host Replies to this message: lilengineerboy (Oct 11, 2008 10:24 am)

Replying to: paisan (Oct 10, 2008 5:56 pm) Yeah, stiffer rear bar = less understeer, but there are reports that going with the 20 mm can give you snap oversteer. The front strut tower brace seems to balance out the 17mm rear bar and the stock front bar by helping the front bar work a little better. I am scrounging for parts right now and we will see how it goes. I am not expecting miracles with stock 205/60R16s either. Maybe a lottery win will get me to 215/50R17s. I think these suspension "tweaks" will be the first mods and maybe next year look at soft-sports or the H&R "OE" series springs and Konis or Bilstiens. A little lower, a little tighter would be nice.
#330 of 330 Is a front strut bar worth it for DD? by stevehecht Apr 08, 2009 (5:25 am)
My Honda mechanic says it's not, that unless you've got enough g's being generated you'll never feel the difference. I've got a '07 V6 AT with a 17mm TL rear sway bar added. To my mind even a small improvement in handling is worth the $127 investment for a Neuspeed strut bar. Opinions?
