Well I have an auto so... i don't know how much of a difference it would make but i probably am going to upgrade to a different auto tranny. How much did ur kit cost and where can i purchase the fmax kits?

Thanks,
Tom

 

they have the kits "on sale" right now at www.groupbuycenter.com for $3600 shipped. you can always do the Level 10 tranny upgrade which i think is about $800-1200 depending on what you want

 

What do you mean by tranny upgrade? What do they do?

 

all i know is that is upgrades the torque converter

go to www.levelten.com to read about it

 

um.....one question. Is beating a GT that hard? i mean........my friend with a 00 coupe 5 speed with intake, headers, exhaust kept up head to head with a 01 mustang GT automatic in 1/4 mile. It was like you couldnt even tell who the winner was. Another friend's V6 accord coupe 01 completely stock lost to a mustang GT 01 by a hairpin. I think that with any kind of boost, GTs arent the opponents you should expect to beat. After many experiences of watching Accords vs Mustang GT, we're not far behind. But all the Gts were automatic and All the accords were stick with bolt-ons, or v6 with bolt ons.

 

if your gonna drop 10k+ into your cars go parts, you'd better be shooting for a helluva lot bigger fish than a mustang gt, @ 20lbs i don't even know what kinda numbers you'd be putting down, but i'd bet that your killing showroom specials like the cobra, the cobra r, the ss, just about any special model honda makes, probally nsx's...

i dunno.. but gt's arn't that great, aim higher, and @ 20lbs i don't think oem axles will hold btw... tranny certainly won't.

 

I just want to have one of the fastest daily driver accords. If i can beat cobra's, saleens, firehawks, rouches,and camaro ss then I would be more than happy. But i know this is crazy as hell because I would have to make my car into one hell of an investment even though it already isn't:naughty:

Thanks,

How is that possible a Gt has what 90 more Hp than a 98-02 5 speed accord, not to mention all the torque fords have.

 

Personally, I would suggest selling your car and purchasing an older model.

You're going to be virtually replacing the engine, transmission, axles, as well as the intake and exhaust systems.

Go find yourself an Accord that runs like shit, get an H22, build it up, and boost the hell out of it. You'll gain money by selling your car, you'll end up with an H22 instead of an F22, which will give you a MUCH larger aftermarket to work with, and you'll end up being a whole lot faster. Not to mention the fact that you'll be dealing with a manual tranny rather than an automatic.

 

the 5speeds run about a 14.5 and the automatics runs about a 15.2. the automatics are slow. theres a huge difference

and the power you would put out on 20 lbs. well on 15 lbs i made 269hp and 312ft/lbs AT 4200 RPMS on my stock motor. i didnt go any higher than 4200. i was adjusting my boost controller and it got to 15 lbs and we shut it down. just on 15 lbs i bet it would make 300hp and about 330ft/lbs to the wheels. on 20 lbs youre up in the 350hp and 350ft/lbs. which i doubt will beat a new Cobra-R which runs a 12.2. it would put you around a mid 12 with 350/350
