Thanks!
You’re there for the long haul 😉. Thanks, Viking_Jerk!!!!
Car looks amazing and performs really well with the simple mods done to it. Keep it up.
Thanks, Vera’s top! I’m pretty happy with it so far 😁👍
This is such a great video. Thanks a ton for posting this. Super helpful. I'm looking to buy a 2020 Accord 2.0T Sport right now. I'm totally going to do these mods.
I’m glad you liked the video and found it helpful 👍. Good luck with your search in buying the Accord - it’s a great car 😁
Great video summarizing the performance, cosmetic,etc. changes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s been a while, so I thought a recap/summary would be helpful 😉
Thanks for all the testing you are doing on the 10th gen. Don’t know anybody else going to the lengths you go for all of us so kudos. Really interested on your lightweight rim/summer tire set up and results. Living in Florida the Phearable and rim/tire set up are gonna be my mods very soon. Rock on LemonFactor
Hey, man, thank you very much... you just made my day ; ) I'm anxiously awaiting the rims/tires myself as it took some time to ship, then trying to get them balanced, etc.... hopefully very soon. Don't forget an upgraded intercooler for that Florida heat.
Thanks Chad for the video. Been watching you for a couple months now since I got my 21 Touring. Your videos have helped me plan as to what i want in my car especially after taking it to the drag strip for the first time. Who knew these cars could be so fun! At first i was only convinced i wanted to do cosmetic mods but i really want to improve my time in the 1/4 mile. Im gonna take your advice and look into the intercooler and one of the tuners. Cant wait to see what else you have planned for your car.
My pleasure. Thanks for subscribing to the channel 👍. The Honda Accord truly is a hidden gem 😁. Have fun and enjoy it!
Highly recommend the T-carbon paddle shifters. They look very sharp and match the interior well. They are also very lightweight, sturdy and help with using the paddle shifters in turns!
Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Awesome Chad thanks for sharing, you explanations are excelent and inspire to mod my 2022
Thanks for the compliment 😁👍
I love this channel and this series!!!!
Thanks, John Doe! Appreciate your support and glad to hear that you’re enjoying the channel 😁
Hey Chad, great video on recapping everything that you have done. I've been watching your videos since I got my 21 2.0t sports. I've done mainly cosmetic mods like the red H emblem, illuminated door sills, and wheels (Titan-7 TS5 18x9.5 +40). You should try AutoX since you have upgraded springs and rear sway bar, I've tried it a few times and I was surprised how well it can move for a larger vehicle.
I have considered it, but maybe with the new rims and tires I’ll give it a try 🤔
@@TheLemonFactor any particular wheel and tires you looking into? My suggestion would be go with forged wheels construction, they are pricey, but will net you the lightest possible wheel.
I just got them and hope to get them installed this week 👍
I really like your channel & content Chad. Been following for awhile now. Very professional & you include alot of data & numbers. Much appreciated.
Thank you, Matthew! I really appreciate your support comments - glad to hear that you’re enjoying the channel 😁👍
I enjoy watching your channel and content especially because it gives me tips and ideas about my own car. I drive a 2020 Platinum White Pearl Accord EXL 2.0 with the 10 speed automatic. (I believe 2020 was the last year that the EXL was offered in the EXL trim.) Exterior mods: black vinyl wrapped roof, black vinyl wrapped diffuser panel, B & C pillars and total chrome delete in black vinyl including the front bumper. De-badged “Accord & 2.0T” and replaced the front and back “H” badges in black. Smoked vinyl overlays on the headlights, fog lights, rear reflectors, reverse and turn signal lenses. OEM deck lid spoiler, rear window spoiler and OEM mud flaps. Chassis tuning: Eibach lowering springs, Eibach front and rear sway bars, SPC rear camber kit, Ultra Racing front strut bar, rear subframe torsion bar & front power bar. Hasport upper engine torque mount. (I had the Hasport lower engine mount installed but couldn’t live with the excessive vibration so I removed it.) Under the hood: Mishimoto oil catch can. Lighting: Replaced all interior lights with LED, installed LED footwell lights front and rear. Replaced reverse and turn signals with LED bulbs. Wheels and tires: Mortegi Racing wheels wrapped in 17’ 235 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Ultra High Performance summer tires. My modifications are mostly focused on aesthetics and handling as I am hesitant to flash the ECU in the short term. I do plan on upgrading my intercooler next summer though.
Thank you, Chris! I'm glad you find the channel videos helpful. You've done quite a lot to your car already... How's the ride and noise from the Indy 500's? I definitely recommend an upgraded intercooler!
@@TheLemonFactor I didn't want to spend a ton of money on summer tires and the Indy 500's are a relatively inexpensive option. They get positive reviews and I'm quite satisfied with them. I would encourage anyone to roll with summer tires... You lose some MPG, but the traction is next level. I have two sets of wheels so I can swap back to all seasons for the winter.
That’s my plan, ie have a dedicated summer only set 👍
Man how you get some 17' tires lol😅😅
Nice Chad. Next steps sound perfect. Carbon fiber wrapped roof might look real nice too. I've also been thinking of a different hood but everything is so darn expensive, I'm just a welder lol. I'm very anxious to see what rims and tires you chose & the flex fuel kit.
I’m not sure about the roof wrap, but at least it can easily be removed if I don’t like it 🤷♂️. The hoods are expensive. I’ve entertained the idea of buying a used hood and trying to do some cutouts myself 🤪
New subscriber! Appreciate your extensive support for the 10th gen Accord. Just bought the last Sport 2.0 in my state. Won't be doing any performance mods but definitely want to do some esthetics. Have you tried the rear bumper reflector light upgrade?
Thanks for the sub and congratulations on your new Honda Accord Sport - enjoy!
Can't wait for the prl flex fuel kit video. Maybe you should look at getting a custom tune also
Don’t you want to see a comparison between the OTS flex fuel tune v a custom tune? 😁
Was waiting for this vid.
😁👍
Just came on to your channel and I love all info you've been given on your car I'm looking to purchase a similar car from my wife and to do some of the same moths that you just perform on your own car
Welcome to the channel, and welcome to the 10th Gen Honda Accord platform! The Honda Accord is a great car in so many ways, still brings a smile to my face - of course with the new FK8 hybrid turbo, it’s an even bigger smile 😀
I just got a 2018 EX-L with only 18k miles and I plan to do some mods to it when I can afford it. I’ve changed over almost all the interior bulbs to LED’s (you only need 6 T10’s and 2 specialty bulbs for the vanity lights). If you take the vanity bulbs out and google the part number some LED replacements come up super cheap
Great video, I've been enjoying watching you working on your Accord. I'm looking for a new car and I was debating between the Accord Sport 2.0T and the new Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. I'm leaning more towards the Accord after watching your videos. I need a family car that I can have fun with by myself.
Thank you! I typically get bored with cars, and enjoy trying different ones. However, I am still thoroughly enjoying my 2019 Honda Accord 2.0 Touring - it’s a fantastic car in so many ways, and a great value 👍
Accord is better in every way (2.0T)
Civic feels cheap , road noise, CVT are not good for traveling from personal experience.
My 2018 Touring has been the best overall car I’ve ever owned. You can drive your family around in comfort and put it in sport when you’re by yourself.
@@TheLemonFactor Same here. I had a 2017 EXT 6speed with custom tune and loved it. But once I drove the accord, I had to have it 😊
At least you stayed in the family 😆
Again great content and absolutely love the recap video. Can’t wait for the roof and hood videos!
One thing I would be curious about is, the small collection box on the intake pipe. Would deleting that gain or lose anything.
Thank you, Clinton! 👍
Beautiful! I have the 2018 white, just like this. It’s a manual transmission ❤❤❤
Enjoy that rare manual transmission of yours 😉😎
@@TheLemonFactor - Thank you, Sir. I will!
Great info. Man. Thanks
My pleasure! I’m glad you liked the video 👍
I have a 2018 Civic Si and all I've done is a 27Won Performance cold air intake, Ktuner v2 with TSP stage 1, and an ACT clutch kit. I am planning to do a Mishimoto front mount intercooler. As far as wheels and tires, I went with a set of 18" bronze Motegi Traklites. They are 8 lbs lighter per wheel than the stock units and are quite affordable. The game changer was the tires. I went with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. The handling went through the roof! It feels like I own a Type R now! The tires are a bit pricey, but I feel safer going fast around corners with these. They do not squeal under hard cornering and help out a lot with digs. I can't wait to see what you chose!
Nice tire! 👍. How do they perform in the wet?
@@TheLemonFactor If you're on the interstate or a highway during a heavy downpour, you'll have to slow down for sure!
I have hear that the wet traction is limited.
Wanna recommend upgrading the upper and lower engine torque mounts for your car. There are aftermarket options, but I went with the upgraded ones from Honda directly that come from the 2.0t manual engine, mostly cause Im a tech for Honda and have a discount lol. But after upgrading them my wheel hop/wheel spin was greatly reduced on my 2.0t, pair that with lighter wheels, and better tires and you'll be set my friend. Great videos tho, I have the same trim and color accord as you. Would love to get in touch better somehow to chat. Keep up the great work!
It seems to be a popular recommendation. I really don’t want to introduce any additional noise or vibrations into the cabin. However, the OEM Type R may be a good option 🤔
Hi i just bought a 2.0 and notice alot of wheel spin and if i want more hp i need less spin for a begter launch would this help if so what is it called that im buying?
Upgrading your tires to a stickier compound is the best way to improve traction 👍
Love everything you are doing with the 2.0t. Are you planning on installing the Type R inlet pipe?
Thank you, Tony! Probably in the future when we’re ready to upgrade the turbo 👍
Led vanity mirror lights, dome lights and trunk lights are super cheap and easy to install. I think you will like the look and it's quick and inexpensive
I have considered it 🤔
Thank u for answering my questions timely Chad. I appreciate that! I'm also considering those Eibach lowering springs now too. I watched your video from about a year ago when you did about a 2-month review of the springs. They dropped just a little bit more than what eibach says. So my question is have they dropped any more since then?
No problem 👍. The Eibach springs have not dropped any further. I should point out as this bothers some people, that the front sits a little lower than the rear 🤷♂️
@@TheLemonFactor Not a big deal to me that front is just a smidgen lower. I think im gonna pull the trigger soon. Thanks
Excited to see the flex fuel and what it does to the car.
I hate flex fuel isn’t available everywhere. I can’t do it for that reason.
That does suck, unless of course we find out that it doesn’t add much 🤷♂️
@@TheLemonFactor good point.
Oh..... that's why the downpipe didn't do much (its catted). Maybe I missed that info on its video but I was super confused as to why the gains were minimal. There's my answer, brother catted down pipes are super hit or miss with adding power - but getting one without has always managed good proven gains. Of course it's not for everyone due to state regulations etc etc but at least it's good to know now. Excited to see what you do next!
Differences between catted and non catted is ~5hp. There are dyno sheets floating around.
@@TheAss3t it makes a difference when your aiming for every last bit and as a tuner I can say comfortably that when dyno tuned we can usually get more on site. Getting a catted downpipe is typically a waste in our experience but we understand some just have too due to where they live.
Realistically there's really no reason to go non-catted unless you're upgrading the turbo. Squeezing an extra 5-10hp out of a stock turbo car for an extra ~$1100 (tune+downpipe) seems like a waste to me. That's assuming you do the labor yourself.
Thanks!
😮👊👍😁. Thank you, James!!!!
Looking forward to the flex fuel video. Hoping it’s worth the extra money
Me too… 🤷♂️
might sell my 10th gen civic i love it, it’s super quick with all my mods so far but this accord is sun else
It is a fantastic platform 😁👍
I haven’t seen you test spark plugs. Are you able to test out denso double iridium, e3 racing spark plug, auto lite, and an NGK?
Possibly in the future.
Chad, after quick researching I like for 19inch tires-- Continental extreme contact sport summer tires
Rims-Enkei PX-10, 22.1lbs each. Now I'm gonna do more research but so far so good.
I’ve had the Continental Extreme DSW in the past and they were pretty good (I know, a different tire). I’ve had Enkeis too, they’re a good choice 👍. What size tire are you considering?
@@TheLemonFactor that's another consideration. Stay with 19inch or go 18inch? I don't think I wanna go down 2 sizes either way
And don’t forget that any size adjustment may impact the accuracy of your speedometer.
@@TheLemonFactor Right. So i think I'm just going to stick with 19s. Those Enkei rims were only a 4 lb difference each from a 17inch compared to 19 inch.
There are some good calculators online that will show the impact a change in tire dimensions has in the speedometer 👍
Hey chad what about the charge pipes you left the stock ones when you install the intercooler or they are aftermarket ones?
Still using the stock charge pipes 👍
Hi Chad I have all the same bolt on mods on a 21 sport touring 2.0t. Just wondering what the life span of plugs are with the pherable stage 3 tune. Friends with VW GTIs at similar power are replacing plugs every 20k. Just a thought...
That’ll depend on a number of factors, including how much boost you’re running, how rich your tune runs, how aggressive your driving is, etc. obviously, the tune and aggressive driving will shorten the life.
How the transmission hold up that amount of torque? any mods to it? Great vids!
So far no issues 👍. The 10 Auto seems capable of handling much more torque than OEM output. However, time will tell 🤞
I read on a forum that OEM wheels weigh about 50 lbs each 😬. Lightweight wheels may transform the car in a good way! 👍🏻
I believe that my Honda Accessory rims and tires are 53lbs together. I’ll be weighing them to compare, but I’m hoping that we get a nice weight savings 🤷♂️
Hey Chad,
Where did you buy the black grill where the honda logo goes?? Please & Thanks!!!
This is the Honda OEM black chrome accessory grill. It’s kinda pricey and leaves spots when washed. If I had to do it again, I’d probably just vinyl wrap the original.
Nice video
Seeing how you modified this accord professionally is pleasing.
Now I’m stuck on between the new Elantra N 6MT or the Accord 2.0 6MT
Which one would be best to buy and which one have more tuning potential.
Thank you in advance for anyone who would answer
Of course I’m biased, but I think the Accord is a much better all around car. If you do get the manual, it’s such a nice and smooth shifter 👍. It responds very well to mods, although the front wheel drive does impede its potential 😕
@@TheLemonFactor have you had any experience driving the N?
I’ve been in them, but have not driven one 🤷♂️
@@TheLemonFactor how was the overall experience? I haven’t seen one or driven any.
I really think you should do a muffler resonator delete so the turbo breaths out and maybe do video of before and after and also get a front pipe. That’s just my idea
Thanks for the recommendation. Have you done this already, or something you’d like to see?
After installing the intercooler. How did you get the number to mount so nicely? I can see almost no space between the bumper and the fender. I recently upgraded my intercooler and can’t get my bumper to line up 100%. I took my time and tried everything but can’t get it to look stock. Did you buy new bumper mounts? Any help or advise would be great.
Make sure all the clips, especially around the headlights and bumper to fender gap are lined up perfectly. It can go on misaligned 🫤. I did not buy new bumper mounts.
Being the 10th GEN Honda Accord 2.0 turbo sport is some sort of a Dtuned type R, is there any fear of head gasket failures? A lot of posters on the accord channels seem to have tuned and boosted their engines to where head gasket issues may become a problem. In the smaller turbo charged engines mated to a CVT blown Head gaskets are an issue. just wondering how safe you can push the accord sport before coolant starts disappearing. I don't know if the Accord sport is using the same head studs as a civic type R.
I just bought my white one in Colorado as well
😁👍
How did you blackout the letters on the back? Did you use plasti dip or did you remove the letters and sprayed painted it then put it back on? Please I’m trying to do mine too
Yes, you’re correct, they were Plasti-Dipped 👍. Here’s the video… PLASTI DIP Your Honda Emblems // 10th Gen (2018+) Honda Accord

I wish we had flex fuel up here in the northeast. Should give you a nice bump in power
Where are you located that you don’t have access to E85?
@@TheLemonFactor Connecticut
Sorry to hear that! I’m surprised they don’t 🤔
install the SPORT skirts and bumpers to make your accord looks better !
Sport bumpers?
Gonna have to do this to my 22 2.0 touring 🫣
Congratulations on your new car! 🎇
Do you recommend or know anything about if a upper torque mount is necessary running a stage 2 or 3? I have seen a few have problems without it.
Torque mounts are not necessary.
Chad I have another question. I don't know anything about this Flex Fuel this wasn't really around when I was tuning back in the early 2000s. If I'm filling up my tank from say just under a quarter tank does it matter when I put the gallon or two of ethanol in? Like should I always put it in first or does it matter to top it off with ethanol? You think I'll be able to feel a little better acceleration?
The real benefit of E85 is when used with the Flex Fuel kit and Flex Fuel tune, so you can read the ethanol content and the tune can compensate for it. Unless you're having high K.con levels and trying to lower them with a little E, I wouldn't bother. With that said, I don't really know if the timing matters... I've always added the E85 first, then topped off with the 91/93 octane. Sounds like a good test to see if it does - the KTuner does show your ethanol content when enabled, so it would be an easy test to find out how quickly the sensor picks-up on the mixture.
@@TheLemonFactor ok thanks
I'm not a fan of loud exhaust, Magnaflow has a TH-cam channel and they have a Catback Exhaust System specifically designed 4 the 10th Gen Accord, let me tell u, it sounds like stock but it's a performance exhaust system, might be worth taking a look at bro. And also 1 of the turbo upgrade options would be worth it.
How does an exhaust affect vehicle performance?
@@thefatalsytheit allows more airflow since exhausts from factory are very restrictive due to emissions. Aftermarket companies all compete to make the best exhaust to upgrade to. Certain people think oem(a.k.a factory) parts are always better. That’s not always the case since the manufacturer don’t focus on performance, these aftermarket companies do. Slapping on an aftermarket part has little to no effect or even a negative effect to the vehicle if not tuned properly due to the computer system (ecu) is confused on why the ratio of air, fuel etc…( essentially all mixtures in a combustible engine) aren’t the same from factory. Once tuned by a reputable tuner, your car will perform better and feel less restricted. I’d say do research what parts increase/decrease longevity of the car. Sorry for blabbering
@@ItsPeekplease blabber more
i got a 2.0 and want to know about the parts i shouldn’t touch
i know basics of intake intercooler exhaust and downpipe frontpipe (with tune ofc) but don’t know anything else
i know 2.0 needs better tires and wheels but i don’t know much about the throttle body spacer and all that stuff
@sol1229 - there’s a ton of videos on the channel page going over various modifications, with many being dyno tested. A larger flowing exhaust has not shown to add any significant power gains in the 2.0L Accord as it’s not a restriction point for this platform.
@@TheLemonFactor thanks i’ve been looking up and down your channel and educating myself but I do remember the exhaust being somewhat useless
others argue it helps but you have evidence against that which is good to know
i really appreciate the work you do and how you have evidence to back your claims
thanks again
Kinda late, but would you recommend these upgrades for a daily driver? Or just as a project car?
Absolutely 👍
So I want to lower my 2018 accord EXL. Will springs be ok or coil overs ? Which will be better Does the EXl have the same suspension as your accord ?
Checkout the channel page... there you will find multiple videos covering lowering springs, coilovers, and my initial and final thoughts on the Eibach springs installed on our Touring project car.
All this needs is the flex fuel and HMI stage 2 turbo, easy basic mods. You be hitting high 300 or low 400 maybe.
Already on it… there’s a couple videos on the PRL Flex Fuel install, the dyno test, and one on running the 0-60mph, with surprising results 😉. Checkout the latest video to see which turbo upgrade we’ll be installing on the car 😁👍
I have a 2017 accord sport, I was wondering if I could get the same numbers out of mine.
It is a 7 auto, 2.4L no turbo
I doubt it... very different platform.
Thinking of putting same glint black rims on my 2019 honda accord touring how are they holding up with these tires and size
Toyo EXTENSA HPII All-Season Radial Tire - 245/40R19 98w
My tires are 235. They’re holding up quite well. I would expect to get 40-45k miles out of the PureContact LS. 👍
Chad, what sources did you go to for selecting the lighter rims? Thank you
I checked out popular websites such as Tire Rack, Fitment Industries, and other aftermarket wheel manufacturer websites such as Volk, Enkei, Weds, BBS, etc. A general google search for light weight wheels / rims will help you get in the right direction 👍
@@TheLemonFactor Thank you Chad !
👍
Hi Chad would you remember what percent was the Tint on the car
Around 32-33 is the tint 👍
but is it reliable? Ive heard guys with tunes are pulling out head studs?
Do you change your oil any more frequently after tuning your accord? Also how many miles do you have on it? I have a 2018 2.0t with 70k miles and I want my car to last me many years to come so I'm worried that even with the intercooler that a tune will introduce more wear to the engine and lead it to a possible early death
I have my oil tested regularly and base my oil change frequency on the results 👍
@@TheLemonFactor That's a great idea, and when you say regularly how often do you have it tested? And what test results prompt you to change it more frequently?
Checkout some of the videos… early on I test it multiple times within the oil change intervals with the oil I plan on using throughout to see how it holds up to the type of driving I put it under.
try the peddle commander you won't regret it
What does the PRL Flex Fuel Kit do for you?
Stay tuned as I’ll go over it in more detail as we install it on our project car, AND dyno test both the KTuner flex Fuel tune, as well as the Phearable Stage 4 flex Fuel tune! 👍. But real quick… the PRL Flex Fuel kit allows you to read your E85 content so that you can use a flex fuel tune on your car. For the 10th Gen Honda Accord, the sweet spot is 30-35% ethanol for a tank of gas (using premium).
How did u changed the headlights ?
The headlights are OEM 👍
Quick question, what rims did you have in mind for your upgrade?
Ooohhhh, I can’t give that away just yet. I will say that they’re lighter, and a brand I’ve never had before - I know, I’m not telling you much 🤷♂️. You’ll have to wait and see 😉
@@TheLemonFactor That's fair ,I can't wait and I appreciate everything that you do for this car platform. Have a good day
You too 👍. Enjoy your weekend.
Hello I m new to this. I just traded my 2006 BMW 330xi bought a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T.(hope I made a good choice) What performance mods can I start with first?
Bad choice. Should’ve kept the BMW or got an 2.0T accord 😢
will these same engine mods work for a 2016 honda accord?
The 2016 is a different car. The 10th Gen Honda Accord started with model year 2018.
Where did you get that white H emblem
You can find the details here… Vinyl Wrapping Honda 'H' Emblem // 10th Gen (2018+) Honda Accord

As far as tires. Try falken fk510 I have them they are great .
How are they in the wet? Are they noisy?
@@TheLemonFactor Excellent in the rain and not noisy at all. I did a lot of research before purchasing. They are very sticky. Tires dont even chirp anymore.
Honda never should’ve discontinued the 2.0t if they ever do bring it back it’ll be with the new plain design
It certainly isn’t enticing me to part ways with the 10th gen Accord 🤷♂️
Do I have to tune my Honda with ktuner v2 first or can I just go to phareable stage 3 ? My 2.0 is stock rn
You use the KTuner device to upload the Phearable Stage 3 ECU tune to your car. The Phearable tune is sold separately from the KTuner. However, when you purchase the KTuner, there are a handful of ECU tunes that come with it, such as the “Stage 2” tune. Hope this helps.
to pass inspection in some states, do you need to keep flashing back to stock and retuning again?
What is the 0-60 compared to the stock 5.5sec 0-60 in sport mode
Check out the channel playlist as I have several videos testing the 0-60mph acceleration times 👍
Luv iy
Thank you!
Any mods for the 1.5 ....I feel left out
All the mods can be applied to the 1.5L Accord, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
I am not a huge fan of the front seats. My wife's MINI Clubman sport seats are way more comfy. I'm keeping my eye out for a set of Civic Type R front seats. I believe another channel did the swap and it was a direct bolt on. One issue was that the airbags couldn't be programmed to work with the Accord.
What exactly don’t you like about the Honda Accord seats? Lumbar support, side support, softness of the leather?
@@TheLemonFactor
Don’t waste your time with guys like that
I had an Accord 3.5 2014 and traveled to LA and Florida and I never felt uncomfortable even though I have back issues and being overweight doesn’t help either.
I’ve driven across country and was fine, but I will say the leather could be softer, but then again it may wear quicker 🤷♂️
@@TheLemonFactor side support mostly. I think I just prefer a more sporty bucket seat. The existing accord seat is not bad, I just like my wife’s car better :-)
@William - having never tried the Clubman sears, I can’t comment on them, but can say I’ve been in more comfortable and less comfortable seats than the Honda Accord. I think it’s great that we have the option to swap in the CTR seats 😎
what about charge pipes to help with that heat??
I don't believe you'll see any gains with charge pipes. Your money is better spent elsewhere.
Have you experienced any reliability issues with the performance upgrades you’ve done, if so what are some good measures to take to prevent it ? Thanks
No issues associated with the mods (knock on wood). If you’re concerned about reliability I certainly wouldn’t push the engine and turbo with a tune. With that said, if you’re going to do it, make sure you’re using a high quality, and high octane gas, and get a custom tune 👍
How many miles are on the car ? And how’s the reliability with the tune + mods
Not many, ~16k miles. So far (knock on wood) everything is going well 👍
@The Lemon Factor! LLC is it still trouble free 8 months after that comment?
No problems! 👍
Is the oil catch can actually necessary ?

Will the Ktuner void dealership warranty ?
I’m assuming you’re referring to the manufacturer’s warranty… Will car modifications VOID my WARRANTY? #modifiedcars #carwarranty #car

How are the MPG’s with this mods
Not bad, if you stay out of the boost, but what fun is that 😉
Is this possible on the cvt 2.0s?
The 2.0 Honda Accord comes with a 10AT, not the CVT.
@The Lemon Factor! LLC my car is a 2021 2.0 sport special edition it says it's a cvt but 2.0?
Do you have push buttons for your transmission? If so, it's a 10AT If you have a traditional lever then it's a CVT. The 10th gen 2.0L Honda Accord did not come with a CVT.
How much hp can the engine take on stock block?
Good question. I don’t know 🤷♂️. However, it hasn’t been a problem (yet). It seems to be able to take 400 WHP!Top 10 FASTEST - (2018+) 10th Gen Honda Accords

Would this be worth on the 1.5??
No
OK, Chad, with this review how many hours installing these mods & total cost for these mods?
Oh man, what a good question. As far as the time to install, that's difficult to say as I'm also filming at the same time, which definitely adds to it. I'd also say, generally speaking, I can perform an install in as much as half the time the 2nd time around. Total cost... maybe we'll save that for a future video.
Should have added the factory Honda heated steering wheel. It's under 300$
Do you have one? How do you like it? I consider it, but honestly, I really don’t need it 🤷♂️
Supposedly the oem 19 inch sport wheels weigh 31 pounds. I plan on putting on rpf1 18x9 they weigh 17 pounds.
Remember it’s the rim AND tire combo - some tires definitely weigh more than others 👍
@@TheLemonFactor yes I know. I seen this on tire rack.
@@TheLemonFactor but 31 pounds is the weight of the wheel only.
Will this void my new factory warranty?
If Honda attributes the problem you’re having covered under warranty to be caused by the modification then, yes.
This whole time i thought Phereable stage 3 would give me 300whp but it’s only giving 305hp im disappointed 😂
😆
I went to 17 inch instead of my factory 19's cause of destroying 19 inch rim hitting a pot hole tires half the price of the 19 inch plus much better All weather not all season tires available no problems going in the snow now my 19's were horrible in the snow
Simple but how dangerous ?? Any risk of blowing up something ...scared
Yes, the 1.5L Accord seems to be having a higher rate of head gasket failures than the 2.0L. As such, I wouldn’t recommend any power adders unless the head gasket is addressed. In addition, the 1.5L’s CVT transmission is a weak link when adding additional power.
Thank You Almighty God I will buy one for myself
👍
Let me buy your rims for my accord ❤️
😁 I’ll be swapping them out soon enough, but may end up keeping them as I really like them 👍
So sad this car didn't came to Europe
😕. Does Honda have something comparable in Europe?
@@TheLemonFactor the last one was the Accord CU2 (known as Acura TSX 2G in the US) we got only the Civics, including Type-R and the SUVs like CR-V and so on. So really nothing comparable to an Accord
I’m surprised by that! It is a great car, but there’s plenty of cars that Europe has that never found their way to the U.S. I guess we’ll have to live vicariously through one another 🤷♂️
Motor mounts
I’ve heard that they help, but based on my experience, I’d rather not introduce any additional noise or vibration to the car.
Wait a car video and you didn’t drive it? NEXT
You could have got more horsepower with a catless downpipe
add a bigger turbo
Type r
I'd be worried about voiding the warranty
Honda's warranty is only like 3yr 36k miles so it's not really an issue
@@Jcarini15 my 2022 has 800 miles on it.....not an option at this point
Thanks!
😁👍. Very helpful! Thank you for your generous support of the channel.
Thanks!
Thank you, Sheng Li! I really appreciate your support 👍🤷♂️
