Topgunz Ace A2A Install

G37xMN · 08-30-2020, 05:52 PM

I’ve recently picked up my A2A Ace kit from Topgunz. Figured I’d start a build thread.

So far I’ve relocated the coolant overflow, deleted the relay box, and currently working on relocating power steering cooler and removing drive belt. Little progress but at least there’s some

Got the supercharger mounted and put the turboguard on after I took this

These plugs were new about 5,300 miles ago. I’ve yet to check the other 5 plugs, but I pulled one to see how it looks and it’s half charred, half white. I looked it up quick and read on some Honda forum that my timing could be off just a tad or something in the combustion chamber such as valves could be bad. Anyone have any insight? I’ve just been running a fast intentions catback along with test pipes the whole time. Tuned by seb.

Looking good! It will be nice to get this on the dyno with some lower ambient temps. We made our pull in 94* when we made 615whp here. The AWD and AT will bring down some numbers but this E85 build is going to be awesome.

Got my 1300cc injectors and gtr plugs in. Test fitting the piping now. Just waiting on BOV and Fuel Return System.

Yep, it’s now on the top of the intercooler on passenger side.

Mine is in the same spot but on the backside of the intercooler and I still get the chirping

I was hoping this wouldn’t be the case D:

Well, the cars been sitting for quite some time now. I was waiting on a buddy of mine to help with a lot of it but he recently got engaged and had a kid so hasn't had much time. With that being said, another buddy of mine and I have just decided to take on the majority of the install ourselves, starting with gauges.

I went with AEM Wideband, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, and Boost. These are currently working. By this I mean you can turn the ignition on and they'll light up. As for the actual functionality of the gauges, Wideband and Water Temp are hooked up, and I'm just waiting on an extra AEM harness to extend the other two sets of gauge wires to where I need them.

We installed a 34 row Setrab core for the Engine Oil and a 19 row for the Transmission. I just went ahead and bought the Oil Cooler Kit from Z1 and it was a breeze. The included instructions answered any questions about the install. For the trans I ordered a 19 row Setrab core, 2x M22 to -10 adapter, 2x -10 to -8 reducers, 2x -6 90* push lock fittings, and some 3/8 braided line. There's a factory trans cooler hose that runs from the radiator to a hardline. Removed factory hose, ran one of my braided lines to the trans cooler fitting off the radiator, and the other to the hardline that's on the other end of the said cooler hose.

My fuel pump is installed in the pump housing already and I believe all the modifications are done to it. All we have left to do is run the fuel lines for the RFS, figure out how to reassemble the fuel pump housing, and figure out how to hook up all the lines to the aftermarket fuel pressure regulator. As well as mounting up intercooler/bov. One more good weekend and I think it'll be ready for tuning
