Car & Driver had a chance to speak with Honda chief powertrain engineer Terunobu Kunikane, who shared a few details about the changes they made to update the engine for Accord duty. He stated that the pistons, turbocharger, fuel system, and tune were some of the main changes made but the newly released parts catalog reveals that the engines are significantly different.

Almost all of the parts are unique to each turbo including the inlet pipe which is a visible cast aluminum piece in the Type R and a plastic piece in the Accord. Although the pipes do not interchange, the “Earth Dreams” sticker is available separately for about $13 if one wanted to spice up their Accord engine bay.

Most of the people overlook the condition of wiper blades because they are not used often. You may get surprised to see that they are not properly cleaning the windscreen in case of rain.

A windscreen is not inexpensive by any means and you don’t want to change it due to such little negligence.

The diesel fuel injector for automotive is a type of injector that is used for injecting fuel into the cylinder in a compression ignition engine. Diesel fuel injector injects the fuel at very high injection pressure in order to atomize the fuel and produce high pressure for combustion inside the engine cylinder. The engine cylinder needs to be made of high grade material that can withstand higher stresses. Moreover, diesel fuel injectors are expensive as compared to injectors that are used for other alternative fuels and their function is controlled by the electronic control unit.
