Be sure to pick up RV6s diaphragm-less BPV as well! Safeguard against tearing the OEM unit and losing boost pressure

@GridZilla Год назад

I want that unit for sure.

@Fk8_Theory 10 месяцев назад

I have the same turbo for my fk8. I love it. I had to purchase the billet bypass valve separately because i was an early beta tester and they added it recently. Highly recommend it!! Makes the car sound NARLY!!

@GridZilla 10 месяцев назад

Yeaaaaah I ordered that piece too and didn’t get to be in time 🤦🏽‍♂️

@Shono731 Год назад

Awesome video as always! I look forward to seeing how you like the new turbo setup!! Keep up the amazing content!! Enjoy your day and week ahead!!🚙👍🏼👊🏼😀

Thank you!

@YuviApp Год назад

Def the right turbo to choose from. Great vid as always man.

@GridZilla Год назад

Appreciate it!

@d0mochi 10 месяцев назад

8:45 is not a head gasket. The turbo port is part of the head so your head gasket would be below the turbo port. What you are pointing at is a valve cover gasket

@GridZilla 10 месяцев назад

You are correct.

@FreshFL5 Год назад

1 Vote for yellow. And thanks for sharing knowledge on that gasket issue. Will need to monitor mine.

@GridZilla Год назад

I get a little talkative in my video. Never sure if people like the details so I appreciate the feedback

@reggieh6038 8 месяцев назад

if it spoon definitely gotta go with the yellow.

@justwingingit1 Год назад

On a side note…not a fan of any aftermarket intakes(stock best performing)but I have to admit that the look of the Mishimoto coated in Honda Red looked pretty nice! Just my two cents on color combo etc.

@GridZilla Год назад

Word on the street is the OEM intake actually is pretty restrictive on the FL5 once you get past stock power so while modern oem intakes are usually pretty good, this time around it might be better earlier in the modding process to make the switch

@justwingingit1 Год назад

@@GridZilla Interesting. I was going by FK8 info. from Church Performance Tuning and 27Won who don’t make an intake for that very reason. Honda Engineering/Development as opposed to aftermarket etc. I have to admit that an RV6 Turbo with the power that it can generate will need the best possible option to achieve it’s maximum potential. It would be nice to see a before and after intake comparison with the RV6 stock intake/aftermarket…not going to lie. I ended up buying a 2021 Accord 2.0t with 10k miles and found it interesting that the intake is similar in design to the FL5…box like pocket. Not sure about online theories but the design is supposed to be some type of air charge reserve… Cosmetics or Sound change were the only differences from a stock intake to an aftermarket one which is fine for those looking for that. I still like the PRL Titanium intake setup not so much for cosmetics or performance but the weight savings over stock. Same thought regarding a Lithium Car Battery but I still might wait until there is a solid state version someday…still concerns me about that instant fire thing if it’s ever compromised…unless that’s just a cell phone/Tesla thing(being in a serious wreck).

@justwingingit1 Год назад

Dealer’s choice regarding the valve cover color depending on future wrap color(if that’s your plan) but having said that Honda Red would go with your current color combo. The yellow one popped in the Limited model’s engine bay as the Boost Blue would with the same factory paint. Online photo examples speak for themselves but at the end of the day…it’s your world Brother! Do whatever makes you smile ear to ear when you pop the hood…there in lies your answer. Comments/opinions be damned😁.

@GridZilla Год назад

It’s hard not to go with wrinkle red 😁

@justwingingit1 Год назад

@@GridZilla On a cosmetic note…one of those Custom shops/You Tube in Florida that customized a LE CTR with the yellow valve cover had a suggestion from one of the viewers that sounded pretty good/show more of the valve cover with the stock engine cover mounted on top. The suggestion was to cut away the non-red portion of the cover(cleanly of course with the edges smoothed out) which would expose a greater area of the valve cover. Anyway,it sounded cool but dealer’s choice. On the Spoon valve cover topic I read somewhere that if you wanted it Spoon certified Spoon in Orange,Ca. would have to install it. I don’t think it’ll make a difference to you considering that you have gone through so many cars etc. but I thought it was interesting whether true or not.

@GridZilla Год назад

@@justwingingit1 sounds like a cool idea but think I’ll stick to the uncut version for now. I had the spoon valve cover on my fk8. It’s a pretty basic bolt on. Literally anyone can install it

@FurtznFuriouz Год назад

Go yellow 💛

@rjhick1 Год назад

It would be really cool if you did some mods to raise the redline of your car.

@GridZilla Год назад

I used to want to have a higher redline but I think that’s better suited to an NA build.

@pedroarias1312 Год назад

400tq is no issue at all, its where it comes in at, thats the issue. Plenty of people around 600whp and more than more than 400tq on stock motors. You dont want it below say 4k rpm, thatll spit a rod out, move it higher up and your good👌🏼

@GridZilla Год назад

That’s the plan. I think peak on the R660 is around 5k ish

Have you tracked the car yet? Would like to know on the cooling improvement + tuning options as its a new platform over the fk8. Following. 😚

Thanks for mentioning the valve cover gasket leak - I wasn’t aware it was an issue! But curious to know why you want to replace the valve cover with a Spoon/J Racing. Functional or aesthetic reason?

I figure if I have to replace the gasket…. Might as well get a new valve cover! Lol Follow me for more financial advice 🤣
