Did find another thread where someone had similar temps and they were stock, so maybe it's always been like this and I never noticed until installing the intake.
Would still love anyone's personal experiences!
2023 Honda Civic Type-R FL5 Stage 1 Intake System PRL Motorsports - Installed this yesterday
I've noticed that after the install, the IATs are higher than before. Its about 85f today and while idling in my garage, I noticed it creeped all the way to 150f over the course of about 5min. I was...
On the K20C1, you can just drop the oil pan. Needed to make sure there wasn’t a disco party surprise in the oil anyway
So the engine was opened up, but it’s a pretty simple process for bearings
FL5 but it’s the same motor as the FK8
cylinder 4 bearing had an extremely light indentation, the tech said it’d probably be fine but he didn’t feel it was worth the risk.
I felt the same way and replaced all four. I wanna say it was like $1200 all said and done.
Only other thing I did was...
I got the rod bearings replaced.
The techs I had were really cool but they all but said the warranty was gone. They said I could potentially get a “good will” exception but I’ve heard that the GM in the area loves denying claims
Who knows
Yes it threw a code. The dealer is who gave me the exact RPM of the over rev, I was honest with them on what happened.
Ultimately just replaced bearings and did a couple oil analysis.
Warranty is almost assuredly gone but I didn’t specifically ask, don’t really care at this point. The car will...
Can confirm that they are bullet proof. Over revved mine to 8477 and have had two oil analysis done since, both perfect
That being said, just because it can handle it doesn’t mean I would want to have it done by someone else to my vehicle
I would absolutely get that checked before signing off...
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the response.
So there’s really no simple way to raise the limiter on an OEM+ car. I basically just want 350whp and an 8k limiter lol
Valves are the weak point in raising the limiter on these cars.
Forgive my lack of mechanical knowledge but can valves be upgraded the same way rods/pistons can?
Like a “forged” alternative? My dream is an 8200rpm limit lol and I’m wondering if the K20C1 can be reliably built for that.
Again...
Please ignore the annoying knock, I’m referencing the groaning sound (Idk how else to describe it)
It goes away as soon as I release the clutch. Only really present on cold starts and I can’t replicate by revving the car while the clutch it depressed. It’s only on cold starts
That is EXACTLY the issue I and many others have. It’s not a spun bearing, all four of mine replaced and noise persists.
Almost inaudible on a cold start but warm is very noticeable. I’ve noticed the noise for the past 7k miles, since the money shift.
Others have had the noise since their cars...
