Are you in the US? If you’re having a hard time finding parts, then you must be unfamiliar with the platform.

#

The K24 is a very popular Honda motor with a huge following, KTUNED for example is a big one

I am new to this and I tried k-tuned, but couldn't find anything for the vehicle

humble gate Jul 19, 2024, 11:10 AM

Specific to the vehicle? Or to your motor set up? I think your best bet is a Honda or K series forum

#

People have made these motors into monsters and has put them in everything from Civics to Nissan 350Zs

#

So there is a ton of options and information out there.

Vehicle, I see lots of stuff for the k20 civic or the Integra

humble gate Jul 19, 2024, 11:16 AM

#

After market on the CRV is mainly custom because since it is not really a vehicle sought for in regards to performance

#

However it has a phenomenal AWD system that people take out of your car and put it in Civics so you can start there

Its a daily. But yeah you would have to find a specialty shop specific for your vehicle make or model

#

Just keep in mind, all of this, if you do the work or not, is very expensive. Like thousands of dollars expensive. Just food for thought

#

Haven't done the math fully. But it's a 16 gallon tank. 100-150miles on a tank...

You should be getting 22mpg on average. You might wanna get that checked out

Non stop traffic the whole way going 75mph

Yes it does. That’s how your parking brakes work

#

Your lever is connected to a cable that goes to the parking shoes. That hold the drums of the rear discs

deep locust Jul 20, 2024, 6:09 PM

humble gate Yes it does. That’s how your parking brakes work

Question, if a caliper slide pin is seized all the way out...how do I fix it. I've tried multiple hammers, wrenches, etc. I don't have a vice or c-clamps

humble gate Jul 20, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

Heat it up and see if that helps get it out

#

Once you get it out you can clean it and lube it back up.

#

Ideally you would want to get new ones but if your not in a position to replace them, just reuse them

deep locust Jul 20, 2024, 7:22 PM

#

No torch either

#

Looked into getting a new one. Everyone is sold out, even rock auto

New caliper in stock would be Napa. $68 remanu, $80 core

deep locust Got a $6k quote for turbo/tune, 5 texas hours away. I get 5mpg, that's too far

either you're leaking fuel like nothing else or there's something very very wrong with the vehicle.

get that looked at before you do any modifications.

assuming you get the 150 miles mentioned you're looking at 9MPG and assuming the 100 miles you're looking at 6MPG but that's still absurdly low

deep locust Jul 21, 2024, 7:13 PM

#

No fuel leak @stable yoke @rapid sequoia, no major oil leak, no lack of compression

#

Might be injectors, or fuel pump. Idk

stable yoke Jul 21, 2024, 7:13 PM

Is the fuel tank crushed or something?

rapid sequoia Jul 21, 2024, 7:17 PM

#

deep locust Might be injectors, or fuel pump. Idk

I'd imagine there could be any number of things.

alignment being bad/off
bad tires at bad pressure
a bad tune killing fuel economy
bad injectors or spark plugs
driving habits
the list goes on but something is definitely wrong

deep locust Jul 21, 2024, 7:21 PM

#

As far as I'm aware, just looking at it, it wasn't tuned/modified. There is a slight camber that needs to be fixed, I don't drive this like a sports car, tire psi is @35 psi

had someone press the brake pedal 3 times, i then opened up the bleeder valve.

orchid hill Jul 24, 2024, 10:59 PM

#

Keep pressing until the brake fluid comes out. Make sure to keep topping it off as well.

deep locust Jul 24, 2024, 11:00 PM

let it drain for a few seconds and closed it. repeated 5 times for each wheel

there was no air in the first place

never disconnected the lines from the caliper

deep locust Jul 27, 2024, 6:25 PM

And not that I saw, but I drove it for about 2 miles.

rapid sequoia Jul 27, 2024, 6:26 PM

#

deep locust Bed then in?

bedding in deposits some brake pad material evenly over the rotor.
doing it improperly or not doing it can fuck your brakes and so can break fluid getting on there

Never heard of that

It’s more of a thing to do when you have coated rotors, I’m sure your rotors are fine. But why do you replace the calipers? Do they get too rusted?

deep locust Jul 27, 2024, 7:08 PM

I usually just replace them since they have to come off the hub anyways. And it's usually cheaper on shipping to get the whole kit

#

And idk what condition the calipers are in, like this one had the seized guide pin.

#

Just take everything out, replace everything. One less point of failure. Also, my go to kit, the Power Stop z26 needs the caliper for them so...
