marbro .... are you doing the J30--->J33 build?

 

if i didnt have an i4 i probably would, but i dont plan on swapping one in cause of the turbo kit sitting in me room ^_- But ive had a lot of fun reading people doing that little change for "maintaining their warranty" at least stroking the engine. But i want to see what the gains are from that, no one has really even posted dyno's

 

I thought that I saw some at V6Pnet. Great torque with low VTEC, moderate gains on peaks. The problem with stroking is you lower your redline.

Also, since the 6th gen V6's didn't get a MT, that build would shorten the life of the glass tranny.

 

a cai lowers the life of the 6th gen v6's tranny ^_^

 

how?

 

I think the guys on V6P were having trouble getting the e-manage all tuned correctly and thats why they havent posted any dyno numbers other than the initial tests....that and the guy with the J33 had a semi tire bounce across the median and slam into his car!

 

just by allowing more power to transfer to the tranny, any gains on it reduces the life ^_^

 

that rule can be applied to any piece of machinery. A CAI isn't worth a whole lot of power. Also, the failures are noted all milages and most reported are stock. I have almost 90k on mine with no issues. The only indicator is that after some hard driving, it clicks into R while backing into my parking spot.

 

It's not mostly on stock cars, it's a 1/5 chances that you would get a car without having any sort of tranny related problems.

 

I'd like to see where that figure comes from ...... and I said REPORTED ...... almost all reported cars are stock. Cars that have no chance of Honda helping fix the dead tranny don't get reported. Also, I'd say that it's more like a 5 in 5 chance that I'll get a car without tranny problems because if the car has tranny problems then I'm not buying it!
