I’m glad to be able to help 👍😉. Thank you for your continued support of the channel. I’ve been playing with the Supra lately, but making plans for the Accord - I’m considering; an exhaust dyno test, BBK, vented hood, bored out hard fuel line, upgraded radiator & thermostat…
@@TheLemonFactor What is the best tires to use for road noise? My 2022 Accord Sport has too much road noise. Factory tires are Goodyear Eagle Touring. They SUCK!
I would recommend checking out Tire Racks tire ratings as they do highlight specifically call out “noise” as a rating. With that said, the Accord is not the quietest car, even with quieter tires 🤷♂️🫤
My 1.5T made it too 137K 2 days ago and the head gasket failed. High octane gas(93), oil changes every 3500K since day 1. Trans oil and filter every 30k, and coolant flushed at proper intervals. Do not use any aftermarket coolant only use Honda coolant. Aftermarket 50/50 will cause your head gasket to fail. The 2.0 will fail head gaskets just not at the rate the 1.5 is. If you take care of your 1.5 you will make it to 130k-140k. If you pull a random p0300 you have coolant in the cylinders, if you have a p0303 or 02 it’s combustion gases and then eventually coolant will get into the cylinder. Be aware when you pull the misfire codes it is not a misfire(replacing the plugs will misfire again), 90% of the time it’s the head gasket causing the misfire. I paid the money for Honda to do my head gasket, by default they automatically do the timing chain, serpentine belt, seals and all components and injectors at no extra cost; well at least my local Honda does if they saw you have good history with your car.
Thanks man! I just bought a 2021 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T 10spd auto. I have been watching your vids and I'm just going to do Ktuner phearable stage 3 and intercooler and call it a day. We have 93 here and I will be good. It's my daily car so don't want to mess with it too much and it become unreliable. The car is a blast to drive even bone stock.
Congratulations on your new car! 👍. I’m glad you found the videos helpful 😁. Even with a tune and Intercooler upgrade, you may find that you want some stickier tires 😉
This is solid advice. I have done everything you have done with the exception of lowering springs. My opinion is: 1. K-Tuner 2. Ethanol sensor 3. Intercooler / charge pipe upgrade. And to all the people who wonder how far they should go, these three things are a good place to stop. Heck, if you stop at #2 you will still have a car that is a blast to drive. I have used RV8 catted downpipe, and PLM catted. PLM isn't bad, and I can't tell the difference between the two performance wise. I still recommend RV8, as I have had some disappointments with PLM before. I've used 27Won 2.75" exhaust, and Thermal R&D 3.0" exhaust. I did not notice a difference in performance, but sound-wise I prefer the 27Won. I installed a Mitsubishi Stage II Turbo, and used e-Tune services from Phearable. It's tuned to about the limit of the stock HP fuel pump's capacity. I had to get those torque mounts due to wheel hop, and I believe they are definitely reducing (not eliminating) wheel hop. But man, the vibrations and rattles they induce SUCK. Yes, when the turbo spools up (around 3,000) things get exciting quickly. But steps 1-3 make for a very fun car to drive.
Just saved me some money haha….I agree biggest 3 power mods are tune, intercooler, and flex fuel kit. Any other mods such as aftermarket piping are just supporting mods that work best with a custom tune and bigger turbo.
When I ordered my KTuner V2 from Phearable with the Stage 3 tune they included a whole part talking about k.con levels. "It's normal to see k.con values of .49-.69. If you are seeing anything over .80 for prolonged periods you likely need better quality fuel from a better source. If you have access to e85 and lack quality 91-93 octane you can add 1.5 gallons of e85 every time you fill up from empty." Hope this helps anyone with questions about the k.con levels! Elevation and where you live absolutely matters!!!
Great vlog as always. With a traditional converter it is called flashing your converter with a traditional converter you can change the stall speed which means if you have a 35 stall the vehicle will not move until it reaches thirty-five hundred RPMs or you can flash it which means stabbing the gas and usually meet means the car will flash maybe a little higher maybe a little bit lower it depends on your converter and the sizr . Also on a traditional converter when you get to the line you rub it out to clear the converter which gives you your proper stall speed. Basically depending on the stall speed of your converter their vehicle will not move under its own power until it reaches the 3,500 RPM threshold or 2,500 RPMs or 1500 RPMs for 6000 RPMs whatever your stall speed converter is basically whatever your camshaft intake carb or your turbo supercharger the converter stall is where your peak power comes in at for maximum RPMs
6 speed accord here with full bolt on and big turbo,full adjustable suspension and fk8 lsd in transmission...I usually tell people the same starting out, kinda tired of saying it now as for exhaust..I show my cutout which was dyno proven . I'm very happy with my build at 399. best i can say is more power more problems
Hey Chad, thank you for your videos! They always help advise my decisions for what to get for my 2.0t touring. When can we expect to see your upcoming wider wheels and tires video?

So for the install of the 27won turbo would I need the inlet intake conversion hose, inlet pipe installation kit, and fk8 titanium inlet pipe kit for the installation if I have the v2 intake?
That sounds correct... you do need a way to connect your existing Honda Accord PRL V2 air intake to a FK8 based turbo. I have the details in the install video...th-cam.com/video/qLUWie0LOvw/w-d-xo.html
@@TheLemonFactor so which parts would I absolutely need in order to install the turbo? Would I need the titanium inlet? Because i wondered if I could use the factory inlet
Have you checked out my videos in which I dyno test various air intakes? With that said, the air doesn’t sit in the air intake long enough for there to be a transfer of heat. I don’t believe heat foil / wrapping the intake would provide any meaningful power difference 🤷♂️
I have looked through some of your videos and it’s hard to tell if you have changed the door handles. I just got a 2019 touring 2.0t and am looking at options for the chrome on the handles. Any recommendations?
I haven’t changed the door handles - they’re still partially chrome 🤷♂️. I have considered vinyl wrapping them, but not sure if white or black would look best 🤔
When it comes to the ktuner would it still have an impact on the 1.5t? Thinking about an intake, the ktuner and an exhaust. just stuck on what brands to buy because i cant quite figure out how to relate the 2.0t to the 1.5t. Any advice??
Although you can use KTuner for the 1.5L, I wouldn’t recommend it. The CVT isn’t happy with the added torque, and the 1.5L engines are seemingly experiencing a higher rate of blown head gaskets than the 2.0.
Hey Chad I’ve been in contact with Jesus at 27won I’ve made a decision on the same turbo, Only concern is I’ve been debating switching to 5w-30 Mobil one instead of 0w-20. Found out a couple weeks ago after installing my down pipe on the exhaust side I have shaft play so it’s time!
Hey just curious if anyone else is dealing with a sustained high K control value? I’m usually sitting around 0.70 even during normal driving. I tried flashing back to factory and found similar results. I used 93 while running the tune. WOT brings it up to 0.80. Weird

Hey chad question for you brother I have a the 27won turbo and the parts from Honda I’m wondering if I need the I take conversion hose and the inlet pipe kit if I have thr v2 intake
Wanna add some woosh. Take off the resonator on the intercooler. Its difficult to get off, but now whenever i let off gas I can hear the internal BOV even with the windows up now.

Definitely adding power to the Car requires some braking power for sure.
Chad, I know the video is a different subject matter. I'm hoping you will help regardless. My 21' Accord 2.0T Touring gets sooty right above the faux exhaust tips. I run Shell V-Power 93 in the car. What is causing this? The car is bone stock
Thank you for your helpful video, I have a question though. I recently tuned my accord 2.0 with a ktuner stage 2. My k.con never gets higher than 0.59 when driving normally but when i push it it can reach 0.68. You've mentioned in previous videos that it's not that big of a deal but what im worried about is that the log is showing knocks and misfires about once or twice a drive which primarly happen when shifting gears or randomly even in econ mode. What I noticed is that cylinder 4 misfires randomly and cylinder 1 says it misfires after I shift. Is this something to worry about or do you think these are false readings. I havent gotten a CEL or heard the knock at all. I am running 93 octane currently with a k&n cold air intake.
@@TheLemonFactor what would some symptoms be? It drives the same and I have no sound of knocking. My AFR sits at 14 when cruising and goes to 10-12 when I push it
I’d recommend adding a gallon or two if E85 to a full tank of gas to see if you get the same datalog results, if you don’t get the same results and things improve, then it very well could be attributed to the gas quality and octane rating you’re using. If they don’t improve, then you may want to consider changing or simply checking and possibly regaping your spark plugs. All that said, and without having any symptoms, you may be fine - I have data logged similar events during hard pulls, without symptoms. Please note that I am by no means an expert in tuning on this platform. I would recommend connecting with someone who is.

Ethanol is a big no, the whole flex fuel kit will degrade overtime and release small particles into your fuel system.. only way to make sure it’s still good is to constantly check your fuel..
Yea what u saw in the fb groupchat was the old flex fuel kit hose degrading, now you use the stock piping, i got 40k on flex without any issues nd there is multiple people with over 80-100k miles
These cars are built to utilize the fuel commonly available in the markets where they will be sold. Most of the US is getting 10% ethanol no matter what, so manufacturers have to factor that in.
