Accord CL9 New Owner's Thread

[usmansameen]

Nopes. I checked that. You will need to install whole system. I heard some changes in ecu are also required

[usmansameen]

Bhai log. Need some suggestions now.

1. The car has 17 inch rims and low profile tires. Although the look is really nice, the ride is a bit bumpy because of low profile tires. Should i shift to 16 inch rims and normal tires? Or the improvement will not be significant?

2. Where can i find the company made body kits

3. Is there any way to get rid of the 180 kmph limiter?

4. Any of you tried a cl9 with a super charger or a turbo?

5. From where can i find the type s or euro r speedometer? The red one.

this is another option

'Sulemani' Type S - exactly my kind of car!

[fahdahmad]

I use cruise daily. Even in small patches. I hope it doesn't go kharaab

[sameerulhaq064]

Meter reversed. And yes, I agree, looks nice.

1. My car has OEM 17s with 215/45R17 (recommended size) and yes I'm sure moving to 16s will make it much better because CL9 suspension is good. But to me 16s dont look good on CL9 AT ALL, that's why personally I would never move to 16s.
2. Pretty much impossible to find the factory body kit but aftermarket body kits can be searched on OLX, Pakwheels else maybe some place like sultan ka khoo.
3. Maybe someone like Unichip might be able to do that, but what I know is that its impossible to hack into the K24A3 ECU.
4. Again, it's common abroad but hardly 1-2 cases in Pakistan.
5. Some place like Hayatabad is the best bet. But you can try placing films over the Cluster screen and see how they look. Removing the bezel over the cluster is very easy, so there's no harm wedging some film between the bezel and screen to see how it looks. Once you're satisfied with any given shade then you can properly glue it to the screen.

1. Your tyres are hard. Change to softer tyres. The TL package has very comfortable suspension. I don't know what package yours is.

2. Sultan khu

3. Yes, get a reflash (excellent option). Other option is to use some piggyback ecu. (Not recommended)

[sameerulhaq064]

Talking about speedometers, can you swap the speedo from an Acura TSX into a CL9?? The one with the screen in between the meters looks good.

[baqai]

what do you mean by Sulemani?? by the way are you Rahat the photographer dude by any chance?

NOPE. Even the 2006 Accord facelift speedometer cannot be swapped.

Sulemani meaning no features. And no I'm not the photographer!!

[fahdahmad]

After service station wash

[usmansameen]

Thankyou. I am going to start research on super chargers and turbos now. Will share whatever i can find out. Although i might add it in the swift instead of the cl9. I always wanted to work on the swift. But lets see.
Yeah. The 16s will kill the look. Lemme check the tire size. Then will discuss what we can do about it

@fahdahmad what is reflashing.

[fahdahmad]

It's a performance tuning of ECU parameters. Read on this website

http://www.k24reflash.com

The above is reflash of Serge bo.

Hondata also does a reflash. You can check it's website. Handata is difficult to get in Pakistan.

I have gotten reflash from Serge bo.

[usmansameen]

So,how do i get it done? How much was the cost? And what improvements have you noticed?

[fahdahmad]

I bought a tuned ECU from Serge from USA. A friend brought it in his luggage.

It cost 320 usd.

Online reviews of this reflash are too good. However, presently, my car injectors are dirty and fuel pump is weak. So I am still unable to get full performance gain. I have to get injectors clean and maybe replace fuel pump. After that I will be able to give a better review.

Regardless, due to this reflash the throttle response is much better. It is much more responsive. Vtec kicks in earlier around 4800 rpm. That is what I have noticed so far.

The cruise limit and speed limit have been removed. Cruise now engages above 40km instead of 30km. All features working. No check light. Smart card and immobilzer also work.

[usmansameen]

Ok. And did you change the speedometer?

[fahdahmad]

No plan to change speedometer.

1-) I'm running OEM 17inch rims with Continental MC5 215/50R17 - personally speaking they're the best tires for the Accord in my humble opinion, they're grippy, low-noise with excellent comfort tbh.

2-) Using Unichip is a decent option if you don't want to alter your stock ECU configuration - Used it on my 1.3 2012 City and trust me I was highly-satisfied with the results. If you want a flash, Maxpower Lahore is doing them for 20,000 (approximately) - Both options can have your 180-limiter removed as well. It's not advisable to experiment with your stock ECU, just my advice lol.

3-) Shoving a Turbo kit would be extremely expensive if I'm being really straight forward with you. All parts will have to be imported - Tuners like HPR can hook you up but it'll set you back quite a lot. Supercharger is a wise decision though again, it won't be cheap as well.

4-) Euro R meter are available in Pindi (rare-find) but remember they're for a manual-transmission and not compatible with the CL9 auto-transmission - Type S meter I doubt you'll find one anytime soon because the one you want is a 2006+ model and honestly I haven't seen much Type S 2006+ model in Pakistan.

[sameerulhaq064]

Is it difficult or not possible?
The video below shows a speedo swap between the tsx and the CL9 (at least that's what I think):
