  2. 575 to the wheels with the 27WON Kuro+ Turbocharger

    If you are a big numbers kind of person, there are many options to consider. Some look for sponsors whereas others learn on their own and pay out of their ass to achieve their desired goals. The FL5 is an exceptionally designed platform from the factory. Things that tend to screw it up tend...

  3. 575 to the wheels with the 27WON Kuro+ Turbocharger

    Don't do it...Research and try to comprehend your overall goals. You are talking about slapping in a Kuro or Kuro+ with the intent of using the stock fuel pump and injectors? The stock fuel pump and injectors are pretty much tapped out with the stock turbo assembly already. What other mods do...

  4. Type R owner age?

    Tim here (62)....Had 4 kids and 1 did not leave the nest before producing offspring. Happy sad experience...3 kids moved on and 1 was left in the nest producing grandkids. Kids are great and now that the grandkids are getting older, I am looking forward to getting my garage back.

  5. Spoon Air Filter

    Not worth swapping to a different filter IMHO. Engineers that designed the car know their stuff. It is hard to compete with the filtration, flow, and surface area offered by the OEM filter. Another words, save a few bucks and just change the OEM filter more often. On many platforms...

  6. Fitment issues PTP hybrid Turbo blanket + PRL titanium inlet

    Thanks for sharing feedback and yikes...The stock turbocharger is journal-bearing and uses oil and air to cool. Sounds like adding a thermal barrier to the turbine side in an otherwise stock configuration may not be a good idea. Pros: Turbine side runs hotter so exhaust scavenging is improved...

  7. Spying on you?

    Previous owner let the car sit for 20 years before finally deciding to sell. All stock with the exception of the exhaust and transmission (swapped out for a Turbo 400 by the original owner). Has a 283 V8 in it but I also bought a 396 V8 from a friend that fully built the engine as a spare for...

  8. Spying on you?

    With the TCU disconnected, it's connection status is displayed as an icon near the clock: Touching the icon results in this screen:

  9. Spying on you?

    NP and happy to help although vehicle telemetry is not my cup of tea. I researched it in the past before I bought a 2020 F-150. That particular year was an early iteration of a "connected" vehicle where it was easy to disable power to the embedded AT&T cellular modem by removing one connection...

  10. Spying on you?

    Yes, CarPlay and AA still work perfectly fine if you have those connections configured.

  11. Spying on you?

    No unexpected issues at all. Everything still functions normally, navigation, traffic maps, etc. Occasionally after startup, you'll briefly see a red satellite icon appear on the top right of the screen. With the TCU removed: The vehicle is no longer pushing data to the cloud. If you have...

  12. Spying on you?

    I would also say that given the industry and where things are headed (e.g., Smart Cities), don't interpret this as a knock on Honda for embedding telemetry. Every auto manufacturer has been compelled in that direction in the sense that daily drivers are apparently looking for more convenience...

  13. Spying on you?

    Super easy removal of the TCU. Use a plastic pry tool to remove the center speaker cover (5 retaining clips) to access the TCU: Remove the two screws on the metal mounting bracket to pull out the entire unit: Disconnect and tuck harness connections (temporary solution): Reinstall...

  14. Spying on you?

    Given the configuration, it appears minimal between the audio unit and TCU. With the audio unit being the diagnostic trunk, the TCU looks like a branch simply providing cellular communications to the cloud/mothership. Physically disconnecting the TCU would sever that connection. The audio...

  15. Current best intercooler for track use?

    I've never experienced issues like that from BHJ before.

  16. Current best intercooler for track use?

    FYSA regarding the intercooler that I ordered through BHJ three weeks ago: "We would like to inform you that the J'S RACING HYPER INTERCOOLER FOR HONDA CIVIC FL5 ICR-L5 is order-made and it will take about 1~2 months to manufacture the product." They promptly sent me that information the day...

  17. Spying on you?

    Starting to make more sense...The #10 Antenna Assembly, GNSS (8B550-T20-A11) that I mentioned in post #46 is a receiver (to be expected) and has a physical connection to the audio unit in this diagram: I recall reading somewhere that the FL5 uses two GPS/GNSS antennas. One being narrow and...

  18. Spying on you?

    Plenty of reading and even more if one cares to dig into the Kyocera AL-T52V1-1 telematics module. Once the weather warms up, I'm going to see if I can remove the TCU from the car to yank out the transceiver antennas.

  19. Spying on you?

    Regarding data brokers, most auto manufacturers do not share all of the third-parties that they sell your data to. Usage Based Insurance (UBI) is a thing where insurance companies pay data brokers around 25 cents per feed for vehicle data. Honda partnered with Verisk in December 2017...

  20. Spying on you?
