JDM Honda Civic EP3R TYPE-R Problems After KiddRacing Header Install WTF is going on!

[Lukezen27]

Hey Guys

Got a few problems!

Got my KiddRacing Header Installed today and now the car feels and sounds like crap WTF..

1. Motor doesn't sound right
She's lost the crisp sound when reving out, sounds kind'a like a bad turn and feels like that too :(

2. I can hear the oil pump hum over the motor when idling, is that normal?

3. These a little part near the TB and IM that's ticking hell loud after a drive. though not if you just turn the car on but don't drive anywhere

I didn't experience anything other than clearance of the sway bar being an issue (when the car is lifted up and suspension fully extended, it touches the header)

and a CEL light on the dash from the high flow cat.

I would recommend making a video of the sounds n posting a link to that on youtube.

I don't get this but the rest is weird as hell

Who installed it? Might be an exhaust leak where the headers are.

pretty sure the part near the tb that is making the ticking noise is the 'evap canister purge valve'. If you have an OBDII reader might be a good idea to check if it comes back as being faulty.

Probably a good idea to read THIS. (http://autorepair.about.com/cs/troubleshooting/l/aa042603a_09.htm)

Hope that helped even a little bit. :)

She not throwing any codes

Where's the error checking short on the EP3?

Beeeny said I need an 02 sensor defouler

It could be your 02 sensor throwing the ecu off. Worth a shot really, but I have no idea why your purge valve is going nuts.

All the problems fixed themselves once the rest of the exhaust was finnished.

Well not the oil pump but Adrian assures me its just sound bouncing off something else
