This was not an exercise in power, but one to extract maximum torque.
Specifications:
Accord 2.4 bottom end (9.5:1 compression)
RSX-S head
Japanese Integra Type R camchafts
RC 550 saturated injectors
RSX-S six speed gearbox
Jackson Racing race headers and test pipe
Short ram intake
5 Zigen catback
Stock fuel pump and stock fuel pressure
Driving Impressions
This would have to be the most fun Honda I have driven. Flexing your right foot instantly delivers weapons grade torque and leaves you grabbing for the next gear. Most freeway onramps will have you well into three digits before you have to merge. This engine does not need to be redlined for a fast getaway though. Huge amounts of torque mean that corners normally negotiated in second gear can be taken in 4th or fifth. You can change from first gear to sixth with no hesitation. For long interstate trips sixth gear would be all you need for 80-120 mph cruising.
Thanks to Hasport for supplying the car and engine and to Jackson Racing for supplying and fitting the supercharger. Hasport sell a stiffer rear motor mount for this car which is needed to reduce engine movement under acceleration.
