@@KiwiCarLife little bit over two months of ownership impressions. I’m shocked that a little 2L motor can clock the speedo. As you said, the steering really is numb. I’m not sure if that’s poor alignment or stock suspension but the electronic steering really isn’t it. It’s like I turn hard into a corner but the car wants to do it’s own thing.

The JDM Euro R K20A has 5-9 ft lbs of torque less than the K24A but has a flatter torque curve if I’m not mistaken, more torque at lower RPM. It also weighs about 130 lbs less and has 20 hp more.

Accord = JDM import - Has either a 119kW 2.0L or 148kW 2.4L engine (Type S). Just called the Accord because our "Accord V6" was called the Inspire over there. Accord Euro R = JDM import - Uses a 162kW high performance 2.0L engine. Effectively the Accord Type R from the mid 00's

As for the intake temp and knock, did you re-tune the engine after you had the cold-air intake installed? It could be having trouble with the added flow. As these engines measure the amount of air by intake temp (density) and flow (MAF). Your modification, compared to stock, has a lower temperature and less flow. So it misreads the amount of air going into it. The intake temperature could be one way it would indicate this error, since it doesn't expect the ducting to have changed and it could think the flow is within spec. You can start by reading out the Live data if it's misfiring, or excessively trimming fuel (Long Term/Short Term fuel trims).

@The_Noticer.

@@KiwiCarLife By less flow I mean, the diameter could be higher, and then the air speed is slower. The ECU based on MAF+ITT would think less air is entering, because it's calculating for a different diameter tube and inject the wrong amount of fuel (in this case, too much). It will then maybe spit out this code, i dont know what the scenario for the fault code is, i'd have to look. Usually though, any engine modification you do, requires a retune by a specialist, to remap it for this new intake/exhaust geometry. We are not in the carb days anymore, sadly :)

@@vando1267 replacing a sensor based on absolutely no live data analysis is what parts cannon mechanics do. Besides, these days the IAT is combined with the MAF, which is very expensive on a Honda.

@@The_Noticer. Good point. It would be wise to hook up a scan tool to confirm if the IAT temperature readings are off before replacing that part. However, given that the ECU was reflashed with an aftermarket tune that already accounts for a larger Intake, I would rule out the CAI being the culprit unless the CEL was reported on day 1 or the CAI developed a leak somewhere (but that shouldn’t throw an IAT CEL). Also, I’m not 100% certain if the Accord Euro overseas has a MAF, but the USDM TSX does not have one. Only has an IAT and MAP sensors on the intake side and an OE IAT is only ~$40 USD online.

Hey mate i have a accord euro 2005 5spd semi auto the knock off sensor or air intake temp sensor plug pin cud be loose common dam thing plugs become loose prob from heat so they become issues the 1 that bugged me was rhe car run like shit and no cel showing. howevr i diagnosed the issue as broken coolant temp sensor wire or loose plug again you will know if that happens loss POWER no VteC .. Luckily the Handy onboard plug in DIagnostic scan tool connnected to my phone reading data logs and freeze frames ..invest in 1 super handy for basic cel codes etc. I have never put my car into a workshop ever for any reason all home knowledge ... Car now has 260+ks and does rolling 2step powerskids "') .... it would be awesome if we did a comparison with mine i always watch ur videos then go do some tuning to mine apexi vafc stock ecu ?😁 tons of man hours the power output is unknown as yet however it does not hesistate to climb 200+kph i havent met my match yet . IM in the process to gt it tuned but i have no clue as to where Kflash? some one recommended st hitec but i said no thanks due to past issues.. keep it mate Cars getting qwicker Honda k24cl9r 🤓

Hey man, yeah we figured out my knock sensor has died, I'll just get a new one. IAT's aren't actually causing the engine light but it is throwing a code. And yeah I'd be keen to film a video - modified auto vs modified sedan maybe? Hit me up on insta @kiwicarlife.yt if you're keen

Don't have a scanner but I'll take it into work at some point and get it scanned. Part of the issue is that they come and go. It's not on all the time. Usually comes on after a pull when the engine has warmed up, but is never on when it's cold.

Dyno tune in his Accord is going to require an ECU from an 07-08 model year + the CAN adapter. It’s quite expensive to go down that route unfortunately, but would be great content for the channel.

Not necessarily, the stock ECU is still tuneable, that's how people are able to do reflashes on it. I'll be getting it on a dyno at some point but I'd have to go to Auckland to do it so not till covid blows over

@@KiwiCarLife for the USDM TSX, the 04-06 ECUs can only be reflashed as it’s not supported by Hondata Flashpro and Ktuner. The 07-08 ECU is different and can be used to load custom tunes. Not sure if the ECUs in your region were set up any differently than the US market.
