Sup fellas, name’s Chris. Been on honda-tech for a few years. A buddy of mine suggested i join here. So, here i am. um, I really don’t know what to put in this whole introduction thing… i drive a 95 accord ex as a daily. she’s not very fast, but she’s dependable… and my first manual transmission vehicle, so i’m attached to her understeering, low compression, wheel-hopping self. the current project car is a 93 integra RS. eventually would like to get into some road racing / time attack with her. gonna be keeping her non-vtec, naturally aspirated, just bumping up the compression to about 12:1. building her right from the gound up. i’ll use another of my “newb posts” for pics & a list of mods. cheers, -Chris ---

it’s a set of throttles off of a honda CBR 600i. i took a stock f22 intake manifold and i milled it to the point that i wanted / where it would mate as well as possible with the CBR throttles then i linked them together. had to do some additional machine work to get the TPS sensor to work properly and i had to fab up a vaccum collector as well. really just want to see if it will work. ---

the teg’s gonna actually have crome on it so i can tune the damn thing. if i decide to go the ITB route with her, she’s gonna have a nice machined set; completely original. on the other hand, i refuse to touch the accord’s computer. when i eventually(God willing) get these things on, i’ll play with the idle adjust and maybe play with the cam timing a little bit, but thats it. not hoping for miracles. ---
