We did the rbc swap a few weeks back. I believe he got his rv6 installed yesterday

Nice... I just got my FlashPro and my p2r tbs last friday... Loaded the stock reflash and it feels like 10x better than stock... I might try to run it on a dyno this week. Anybody wanna go?

I got the rv6 installed and only on my 7th cal with vit. I'm loving the extra power.
I was hanging right with a stock mazda speed 3 amd thats with vtec all messed up due to tuning.
Right now vit has my vtec set to almost like 6k rpms.

nice! I just finished installing RBC w/ PRL adapter, PRL short ram intake and ID1000s. Currently tuning with VIT, I can't wait for my next calibration. The power gains with RBC are teh sex.

Feral, exhaust wise are you running a full system? I have basicly the same mods. full rbc kit going into a rv6 catted dp into stock exhaust. on my 9th cal with vit and loving it so far.
but in low rpms under load I think its the 3 and a half intake makes a whistle that sounds like an exhaust leak.

It's not an exhaust leak... i've check 3 times and everything is tight exhaust side. I would like to hear another car set up like mine and see if yours sounds the same.

My intake makes a whistle sound at low Rpms. It's normal, comes alive when I WOT though. My girlfriend hates the new sound of my intake lol. Sounds like the car is angry.

It's funny coz ever since i added the tbs, it now whistles like i have a turbo..... XD

Just got my 10th cal from Vit last night. I'm about to do a 25 min datalog with my first 3k to 7.5k WoT pull! Time to start tuning for power

 

[Iheartvtec]

Feral, I find Fort Eustis Blvd between Richneck and 17 is best place for pulls... I do a quick circle to be sure no one is posted with radars.
I get a quick pull for the datalog and then hurry back into 5th gear and cruise.

 

[Kris]

Same here. I always scan the area first before I do my datalog... You'll never know the popo's might be hiding in the bushes.... xD

 

[Feral]

I've been making trips down Jefferson and turning on Denbigh towards 17 which I WOT down, its about 10minute drive from Kiln Creek to the 17 Wawa which I then proceed to gas up because of dat rich life. lol Running sooo rich. I can't get these calibrations fast enough. I sent vit the data at 12:00PM today. I need that next calibration!

 

[Iheartvtec]

If anyone wants a skunk2 3 inch catless dp... I have one that was on my car 2 weeks only for 200 bucks.
I got a rv6 catted because the skunk2 doesnt work well with the stock exhaust.

 

[Kris]

Anybody wanna go to richmond dragway tomorrow?

 

[Feral]

a few friends are already going, i have to work are you a part of 757 Hondas on facebook? I believe Angelo and Kyle are going.

I have a question for you ppl in the area........... I'd like to drive down and take some pic's of the large ships(military, & other).......
I was wondering if it is easy to get next to them without going though a security gate(being fussy about having things in my car manhandled in searches, I was wanting to be able to not have to deal with that).

 

[Kris]

How close are you trying to get?

It was my first time in the drag strip and I had a blast. Too bad my times weren't that good.. I think the best run i had was 15.6 I really need to learn how to shift... xD

 

[Monk]

How close are you trying to get?

As close as I can get, the closer I can get the more different type pic's I can get, I also have a 300mm lens if I can get clean shoots from a distance....... I don't know how picky they are now days with all the security protection that "Should" be going on.
I spent time on an aircraft carrier in the early 60's...... Love to get some AC pic's...... I've got a feeling military ships will be hard to get near, but maybe not.

I was looking with Google, it shows some places near some Norfolk pears, but I can't make out if they are gated pier roads. I can find a lot of them, just don't know how secure they are.

im on deployment until really late this year. I have some pics from my deployment so far, of planes on our flight deck. I will create a photobucket folder for them and share them with you.

Other than that, it is hard to get close (especially being a civilian) because of the security rules.

I wont be around much, but i will check when i can when i hit ports. I will upload the pics tonite after i get back from dinner in a few.

Thx for the info, I'm glad they're thinking security, but would have loved to get close. Guess I'll have to drive around and see if I can find some vantage points with my 300mm lens. By the way I was a Navy Para-Rigger.
