    not yet, I have to get some of the older model seatbelts(the 07s have them on the seat), which are a controled part. That means I need a VIN number to purchase new. I have been busy on getting my AWD setup going, and plan to put those in while the other work was done. I am 95% sure that they work like the Civic SI seats and you can disassemble the element seats and use the pads and back of the RSX seat, and the actual base for the element seat. I am not sure on mounting the seats as is, but will probably know within a month or two.

    Kpro has some datalogging internally, and then you can datalog with your laptop attached directly to the laptop. Thats what I use, as well at what T1 Tony used to tune mine.

    Funny you say that about the AWD MT. I am in the process of aquiring all of the AWD parts for my swap, so by summer I should have an answer for that.

    I do not think it will be an issue, there are people running like 390 HP in a CRV(same differential for all years CRV and Element) that was MT AWD.

    There is a check valve that disengages the rear differential if excessive torque is applied to it. Do you have a copy of the Helms manual? The AWD setup is explained in depth in there, and I have been reading it from front to back for research purposes. Pick a copy up if you don't have one, they are worth their weight in gold(and man is that a big book!) Glad to hear you have a good tuner for Hondata, that will help you tons!

    Cool, thanks.
    Do you know anyone that is running boost on an AWD MT? I don't know if the diffy can handle 300+WHP but I was thinking 250WHP is probably going to be my goal. I know a great licensed Hondata tuner named Jim in Bham AL. He owns a shop called Motorvations and has done some really great tunes for some friends of mine. What are you using to monitor your tune? We used to use Apexi piggy backs when I was playing with Hondas 8 years ago but I am sure that is out dated now. I still have a Scangauge from my Caliber, but I don't think it's compatiable with the Element.

    I am still running my 16psi setup. The only internal thing I have done is head studs, but it is not mandatory. Stock longblock besides that. I do run 93 octane gas for safety. Make sure you get a good reputable tuner that knows k series motors. And yes, Hondata is what I am running.

    I saw you were running 16 lbs of boost on your last setup. I assume you were using Hondata, but did you have any internals on the engine such has pistons or sleeved? I just came from a modded Caliber SRT4 so I am planning on boosting mine once the warranty runs out and doing the 6th gear conversion to improve the gas mileage. Were you having to run 93 octane? I have a thousand other questions I could ask but let's start with those. Thanks
