ukcl9 understood what I was talking about btw, so why did Sergey and Dinu arrive and ukcl9 has backed off ?
words fail melittlebo said:Freddo, I'm not rude and never wanted to be, it's just your personal reception. do us a favour, switch 1st to 2nd and tell us what rpms you see on taho ? since car is stock you must see 4500 rpms for 2nd gear, not 3700 like you calculated. hope your internal engineering world will not ruin after that. I don't mind you drive your car with calc in left hand and manual in right coz you drive 1 car and don't even pay attention at revs and I drove at least 40 stock mt cl9 and I know what I'm talking about. period. I told ya that all Honda cl9 has same trannies, all years, all regions, trims , it not depends on quantity of owners not their manuals.
yes, let's get to the truthlittlebo said:I guess you forgot to use fg ratio in your calculations, and you can just open YouTube and look for accord 2.4 acceleration or smth like that to get random vids to compare. type s always has red dash, exec on 2nd vid has blue backlight. don't be that stubborn, we are here to find the truth, not to offend and hurt each other with words.

The rpm in my car agrees with the calculations.
My car is CM2.
But, I have driven Eric's CL9, and asfar as I remember, it was the same as my car, but, I could be wrong. The new owner could check in his owners-manual to see what it says.
Finally, ukcl9 changed his gearbox to an ep3, which according to his post a -ways-back, gives similar results to the vids. So why did he change to ep3 if i was same as the vids ?
very similar speeds to those vids Sergey, so I don't see why he went to all that trouble, because it wouldn't achieve better acceleration unless stock cl9 is same as stock cm2ukcl9 said:changing the gear ratios makes a massive improvement in accelration.ep3 gear 1-5
reading above i think my speedo is 4mph slower than sat nav
1st longer 42 mph @7600
2nd shorter 63mph
3rd shorter 86mph
4th shorter 112mph
i think the best mods for the k24 are reflash and gear ratio changes
no it's gear ratios, can only be that.dinoc said:If is truth the rpm point drops to 3700 and ***uming those videos where we see 4500 are true - what will be the expalination - will it be a speedo/rpm delay ?

The reason for letting this thread run is that despite littlebo not being in anyway a forum approved trader, TA staff want to know more. A cost effective K24 remap solution has been hard to come by for a long time. This has the potential to be of some merit. It could be rubbish, but we need to find out either way.
Therefore, you could call it the benefit of the doubt. I prefer to call it patience or the waiting game. Jumping to conclusions in any walk of life is simply foolish. Be it ***uming this remap is good or that littlebo is a crook! :huh:
Consider it a game of poker. You keep quiet. Keep your cards close to your chest, see what's on the table and how the deck is playing out... Over time, true colours show themselves. If it's good, it will speak for itself. If littlebo's a crook, he'll be blocked from the site and big warning put around the Honda community.
It seems several people are making a lot of noise, arguments have ensued and made it very hard for us to get any nearer a conclusion on this topic.
Further to this:
I can appreciate and support the notion of non-K24 owners taking an interest in the interest of the wider community. Especially if they have a background in this sort of stuff and can provide insight. This has taken place in this thread and is a good thing.
However, the repeated claims of crookedness is proving counter productive. I'm sure a few people here have thought it, but keep in mind the Poker Face . It's not necessary to shout it out loud! I'm somewhat alarmed at the stress level, worry and urgency with which some of you approach this. It's as if you worry the admin/mods are not doing a good enough job here...?
Just because certain people aren't making a lot of noise in this thread, does not mean they aren't reading this and waiting for a reason (positive or negative) to intervene.
Also, please don't under estimate forum users. The user base of TA are not stupid. They will not willingly part with £300 on any modification unless they are completely comfortable with ***ociated risks and responsibilities. You always modify at your own risk to an extent.
Secondly, as mentioned above, please don't think staff aren't doing their job here. This whole topic is being monitored very closely.
Dinoc: Please, for you own sake, keep out of this thread for now. You're letting things wind you up.
Jon: Please stop accusing littlebo ***ociates of being crooks until we know more. It's not helping anyone and the rest of TA are able to make their own judgements.
Brian: Thank you for your insight, but please don't go wasting petrol driving at 3am. No one's asking you to do this mate. It's not necessary mate. Please don't worry that much. After all, this is only an internet forum... Not worth driving when tired.
Also, can we hold fire now on any more arguing until Sfai returns with his review of XO versus Littlebo.
Please everyone go make yourselves a cup of tea and chill out in other threads or watch some TV or something. Leave this thread alone for a day or two. Calm yourselves. It's not worth getting wound up over.
Thanks guys.

maybe cultural, may not be, but it doesn't help your cause
