- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ธ.ค. 2022
- In this episode, we will explore some of the cool possibilities on our 2022 Acura RDX A-Spec with Advance Package. We will start off with PRL Stage 1 Intake and Intercooler kit. Then we move on to the Eibach Pro Kit, lowering our RDX -1.5" front and -1.2" rear. We finished off with a ECU flash from K-tuner and 4 Wheel Alignment. And the real test is here, how much performance increases with these upgrades in a Quarter Miles?

Great content as usual, guys. We're so happy to be a part of this build.
Our pleasure as always!!
Great to see a RDX get some love! Happy New Year everyone!!!
Happy New Year 🎊
Awesome build. Happy new year and ty for the content
Thanks for tuning in, Happy New Year
I am very impressed with this channel. A lot more respect to the older generation that enjoy the luxury and performance of both worlds.
Love the Oem to stock and then modify from stock to performance
Glad you enjoy it!
Whadda ya mean older generation? Whippersnapper!
Been a fan of the channel for a few months and have watched all of your teams videos, my Wife and I bought this exact vehicle in September this past year, very happy to see it get some love at AHC, beautiful vehicle.
Welcome aboard and thanks for tuning in!!
Beautiful video! Thanks!!
Can't watch it right now, , always love your contents, I know it's always going to be a good one. Will watch it later for sure. HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL 🙏💪
Cheers!!
Great video guys !!👍🏼
Thank you!!
Always love the videos that come from AHC garage! Keep it up. So looking at the PRL intake kit I'm happy to see they included a support rod for the air duct. Once these are tuned that air duct flexes and can collapse to restrict the turbo. Unfortunately for us RDX folks there is no further intake support. Would be awesome to have an upgrade in the future that would leverage that air duct and remove the factory resonator on the intake. In the meantime this is a great solution. Accompany this with the PRL inlet pipe for the fk8 and you have possibly the best system available for the RDX at this point. Next lets see a downpipe and maybe the Phaerable stage 3 tune.
Right on!!
Happy New Year AHC!👍🏻🇺🇸
Happy New Year to you as well
Nice to see guys working on cars that are actual technicians.
Thank you!!
Fantastic video. Thanks so much for showing both of these mods.
I personally did the intake myself, and i did not know what that extra piece was for.
Can't wait to also get the intercooler upgrade
Same man. I was going crazy trying to figure out what the hell that little thing was for haha
Thanks for watching. Hope this video helped you guys
Why are you going to add the intercooler are you planning on going further with mods? Because the cooler alone seems to be a wasted upgrade alone
@@cbruno12180 most mods are unnecessary. But (1) it is a cool project as a DIY to learn (2) makes my car unique and good conversation piece (3) it's just pretty damn awesome to upgrade something and improve on the original. That's what life's about, always improving and getting better.
@@johnnybyup I agree but wasting money is not a conversation piece thou do you agree on that at least? That’s why I asked if you plan on going further than just the intercooler
Thank you for this great update.
I have the 2020 RDX A-Spec.
I would like to see new exhaust, big brake kit and enhanced tuning.
Certainly will look into that
Amazing content guys, we have a 19 RDX so I love seeing anything for this platform. One idea on content, curious if you're seeing these new turbo engines come in with the build up from direct injection yet. Would love to see the "Honda" way of addressing, or cleaning this so we can keep these cars on the road for 200k, 300k+ miles 😉
Great suggestion!
Honestly thats not even my biggest concern. It's the electronic part of it that worries me.
Great video
you guys made this look so easy, might have to try myself on my 22' 😁
also quick question, will this void factory warranty?
Go for it
Awesome video, time for the turbo upgrade. We got our RDX 0-60 in the mid 4's without adjusting the launch features
We just might :-)
With just a turbo upgrade? Show me the video.
As a 2023 RDX (Daily) and a 2023 Civic Type R owner THANK YOU !!!! I was looking at gaining a lil more power outta the Daily this Helps wonders … looking forward to see what else gets done
You have the best of both world. Congrats to you!!
@@ahcgarage Thank You ... and Thanks for Great Content.... again I am watching that RDX Build and super ready to put some sleeper mods lol
That prl intake is a no brainier for RDX owners. It's cheap, easy to install and actually makes a difference
I just got a 2024 Rdx aspec advance a week ago! Loving it! Interested in these upgrades for performance!
Enjoy it
This is cool. I plan on getting one same year and color.Sadly I won't be doing any upgrades b/c the dealerships love to deny claims because of aftermarket parts.This has been my experience with other companies.
Made intake install , look so simple , Ima try it myself 😂
I wish Advance + A Spec was available back in 2019 😫😫😫 I love APEX Blue, such a beautiful colour.
Great video. Did you have to adjust camber in the rear? Is it adjustable OEM or aftermarket and which one?
Great video. I have a 21 RDX SHAWD A SPEC and I was thinking about doing these mods. Thanks for giving the RDX some love. How much HP did the intake, cooler and tune add?
We have yet to dyno test it but we will soon
How high above sea level are you stock figures look little light. Impressive improvement .....
Nice gains
Downpipe and tune should get that close to sub 6 0-60
Yes, with some adjustments with K-Tuner, we should be able to brake boost on launch, which should help with the overall result
question , what does the individual parts do to help performance ? intercooler vs the down load?
Got the day off, suns out. Think ill install my prl intake today
Got it on and I can definitely feel a difference. It's not huge but it does feel a lil peppier
Cheers!!
Happy New Year to all
Same to you 🙏🏼
Did you end end fixing that left caster? That would drive me nuts
what is the new ride height with the aftermarket springs?
I need to see a RDX A spec with the sports package wheels the TLX Typed S has
Unfortunately they are different lug pattern from the RDX to the TLX-S/NSX
can you guys post a focused step by step install of the PRL Intake? Planning on purchasing but need instructions on how to self install
PRL products come with detailed instruction booklet
How do you like it lowered vs stock?
Pleaseeee do a down pipe install for the RDX asap. That’s my next purchase. Did the springs 2 days ago and the drop is perfect with aftermarket 20x9.5 wheels
PRLs downpipe should be available soon
Already did one on mine 🙌🏽
Nice work, what’s the fix for the front not being able to correct back to specs?
We wanted to wait until the lowering spring to be settled 100% then realign the vehicle to spec
31:03 bro transformed into a Jamaican 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha
Do a downpipe install video please
31:01 lol love it.
Ha!
I know u guys put out a video of the honda accord with stage 3 tune, are u guys gonna do the same for the tlx?
We just might
Good to see the RDX get some love! I want one but the aftermarket is so dry it almost isn't worth it yet
I know this is a '22 model year but man, the wheel wells are so clean. Did this RDX just pass the break in miles? What's the mileage?
About 1300 Miles
Why weren’t you able to set caster on the driver front? & would be nice to see when yall torque to spec. Or you don’t torque?
We will re-perform the alignment after the lowering springs are settled. Most of the items are torqued off camera so we are not dragging it longer
Great video guys , but why alwayes your channel gets the slowest draggy results 😅
Is it me or is that left front alignment head not centered ?
Do they now supply "that hose" u guys were waiting on and this set up willmwork for a 2020 a spec?
Yes it will work
I have a 2019 Acura RDX Aspec SHAWD. Do you have any recommendations for a big brake kit?
Not sure there's one offer for the RDX yet
I wish Acura would have the digital dash on the RDX and TLX, like the MDX and the Integra. This RDX came out great
Couldn’t agreed more with the digital dash/cluster
That's subjective I have the same car on red so I know and I totally love the gauge cluster, perfect balance of digital and analog
I have a 22 MDX Tech and 21 TLX A-Spec. I’ve yet to lament the absence of a digital cluster in my TLX.
What!? The red gauges are so dope!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes!!
Phearable Stage 3 tune with a launch can get you sub 5 seconds stock
Right on!!
A find the performance improvements a little suspect. I know the intercooler upgrade prevents heat-soak but did I miss another upgrade besides the intake? I don't believe an intake would cause that much of a performance difference and actually very little. Please help, since I do have a 2021 RDX and want to increase performance. The RDX is my daily. I don't own performance cars anymore as I don't have the time to enjoy them. Thank you. Update on 11/21/2023. I didn't notice the ECU re-flash in BOLD, so that was the reason for my original comment. I am looking into getting my RDX to have 350 at both ends. Anyone on here have such a set-up?
The tune flashed to the ECU would have been the largest improvement. Would have been interesting to see before and after iat and boost numbers.
Great, but You’d better improve breaking system instead of lowering it, maybe it is your next step, who knows
Awesome video too bad he’s not gonna have a warranty anymore!!
Fortunately, this isn't accurate.
Ya I think they said the factory tune was saved to their PC and could be uploaded back. Only question would be does the ECU record maximum boost... ?
Hello. I have stupid questions?. Whats in the intercooler . Watercoolant or nothing in there?. That’s type is air to air or air to water?
It's an air-to-air system
2nd gen RDX?
Tell him to install the new downpipe too lol, I need an example before installing mine
The PRL downpipe isn't available at the moment but will definitely be a future install.
I wish... there was someone in this world selling a kit from eibach for my Chevy Spark... it is discontinued
:-)
Still dying to see a video on MDX type s brembos on a non type s MDX.
Maybe soon
Still dying to see intercooler and charge pipe for MDX Type S...praying every damn day 😂
@@robertragland6084 Just trade me your type s for my base straight up and you won't have to wait anymore. Problem solved.
How's the tire wear with the springs?
We did not notice any abnormal wear
Dang can y’all work on my Rdx
Need prl high flow downpipe for more mph
Very soon
can we get more integra videos?
Coming soon
Kudos to owner....no one really modifys RDX fr.....
Yeah...... I agree.......
Cheers!!
Kudos for what pissing money away for .7 gain lol
@@cbruno12180 xD 😆 huge gain for SUV lol
Hell yeah I’m one of the select few who will mod my rdx😝
Hey guys suv go low these days I gonna lowering my crv 3gen awd with BC Racing suspension
Yes!!
Should have bought a Type-S
Wtf is with the 60 foot times on these vehicles?!
Wondering why yours is so slow. I have 23 ASPEC, basically the same car. I can run 6.0 flat pretty much any time, 100% stock
Our test vehicle is a FWD, and you likely to have an SH-AWD.
Prl make an actual intake already
Yes
They released info about it coming out in the summer , never heard any update.
Phearable stage 3 tune is so much better than ktuner stage 2. just be prepared to upgrade the front brakes…
Stay tuned
All that modding for less than a second?, I have the same car but on red and is wicked fast for a SUV, I would never put my car through all that disassembly and on top of that spend money to make it a second faster, what a waste imo.
Idk but it’s a must have for me now lol all that’s left is that type r turbo and the down pipe and it’s all faster now😈
@@maubaca5890 ok if you think is worthy then great for you, I’ll leave mine stock.
After the tune he was just stabbing the throttle from idle. If had TC off and power braked it it would have cut 1.9 - 2.0 60fts and dropped the 1/4 by another 4/10ths. (I've been a drag racer since the mid 80s)
On a prepped track, practice in launching it, and cooler air I'm confident it'll cut a 13.9 at 96mph. Maybe even better w/a down pipe upgrade.
Lot of money for under 1 sec
Nice that white interior will age like poo poo
No dirty behind allowed haha
Alfa stelvio 2.0 turbo does 0-60 in 5.4 stock
Lol i
Good for you
@@ahcgarage it is especially when it can be had for 53k
And don’t have to spend money on an intercooler and intake and tune which installed probably at $3k P/L to gain what .7 of a sec complete waste of money and you know it!! I bet with the tune alone is where u gained the others were money thrown away.. I really like your channel too but in this case you should of noted that this was not a smart mod to do for the money vs gains
Gawd what a waste of money and time for min effect
New BMWs you can get 100 hp without changing any parts
