Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[Baygon]

Wow good to see this thread is still going! Hows everyone been wit dere fdzors?

[curtis265]

can i just wack it in using the stock gear box and ecu temporarily, or will i need to source a box and ecu for it to work? Seeing as the fd2 already had a k20 already

I can guarantee the ecu on a more "Dohc" k20 is tuned differently in regards to fuel, timing and cam change

See what you can do with aftermarket ECU's.

And you'll want the type r gear ratios

Computer is a must. Gearbox is optional. But why wouldnt you want a close ratio 6 speed?
Jeeeeeez DAN! Just convert yours to Manual.

[LetsDuDiss]

You will never get 'Rid' of the throttle lag. You can improve response but it will always be there.
Do you have a SRI? Alot of the shitty SRI makes it lag even more. My K&N Typhoon kit made it worse lol.

Nah man, my car is stock in terms of performance. Nearly done with cosmetics, now I'm going to get mods for performance, cheap ones first of course LOL, can't afford a swagzorst atm. This lag is so annoying when I downshift and rev match, and start from an uphill


As another ozmember said :"The car feels more lively and dollar for dollar this is a must have device.".
Thats all i want to say about my 3 drive pivot throttle controller as well. 5 mins to install and then have fun. Specially with Honda_FD it is more worthy when he already has the exhaust system ;-) hahaha


Just re-iterating what everyone has already said, you technically will never remove the lag, but you'll improve the response. But for your everyday driving, you'll notice a significant difference in the way the car feels.
Yes, it essentially remaps the throttle and you can adjust to make it more or less sensitive. It's a 5 minute job to install.
Don't bother with a CAI or SRI if your aim is to improve response - I did the ghetto CAI and despite the engine running slightly cooler, it lags a little more. I have to fit the resonator back on.

The exhaust and lightweight pulley kit are the last "performance" mods I'm doing so I'm hoping that will yield some good results for acceleration and response.

Suggestion of what to purchase? LOL

Just being a povo alright?? have considered converting mine to a manual actually though.. But then would have to save money opposed to selling the car and having the money for car and other misc stuff lol

Should just be done with it and buy a s2k

alright sweet thanks! Wanted to see where I can leave things temporarily and getting back to them so i dont cheap things out if i ran out of money or something

When you're on a slope. and you need to launch quickly. Do petal to the metal and let off the clutch as fast as you can.
No lag and you will do a burnout and leave with style. Cause #YOLO
Lol jokessss Im sure the throttle control will help a lot.

Only did two. Gonna do the rest during the week. I got a spare wheel so no worries LOL. And I don't know how to paint the centre cap, ended up masking them off anyway

Got some paint the on front tyre as well. Ran out of masking tape at the time. I dont know how to get rid of them. I hope it will flake off as I drive, or just black permanent marker LOL

I did the centre caps on my stock rims, looks better i think, just sand them a bit, and after you spray it white, put a sticker on the middle, something like this http://i.imgur.com/CNd3tcX.png (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4x-HONDA-CENTER-CAP-vinyl-sticker-decal-Buy-2-set-get-3rd-Free-/261249135286?pt=Decals_Stickers_Vinyl_Art&var&hash=item3cd3a972b6&_uhb=1)

Are those stickers from canada? I think i've seen them, looks funny to me. I ended up ordering a set from an EP3 site in UK, I'll cancel it if someone can show me where to buy in Australia. I sprayed the centre cap today without sanding, there were wrinkles developed LOL guess ill sand them all off tonight. Got 1 more wheel to go

I don't know how you managed to sprayed one wheel with one can LOL. I didn't spray the inside and one can barely lasted it. I had to do 5 coats for an even and white coverage. I guess the EP3 rims have gaps that are hard to reach, that's why I had to waste a lot paint. So yeah made the right choice LOL. See how it turns out. And I always run into a problem where I spray a heavy coat of clear and the base coat seems to fade off at the area with heavy clear. Any explanation? I can't help it but feel if I don't spray the clear heavy enough, I won't have a glossy finish

The stickers i linked aren't the ones i got, i could't find the same item for sale anymore, you can get the stickers printed at the market if you don't want to order online, in VIC at caribbean gardens you could get a set printed for around 20$ cause they charge 5$ for a small sticker, and it takes 10-20minutes.

Maybe you didnt spray thick enough but from what i remember 4 cans were enough. When i did the rims blue i found these rustoleum 2X cans at bunnings, they have amazing coverage, i did one wheel in 2 coats.

I dont really know what would cause the base to fade, maybe wait longer before the clear. Do a few passes with a heat gun if its cold temperature, below 14 degrees.

On the stock rims i didnt use clear and they dired rough, when i did 2 heavy clear coats on the blue rims i got a nice smooth finish

Nah man, I waited overnight for the base coat to dry, just clear coated this morning. But yeah, no idea. Oh well, too late now. The paint job is ok, only those fading base made it look dodgy

I have those rustoleum cans as well. Used it for my grill. You bought all your paint from bunnings? They arent for automotive, I heard. But they're pretty much the same price as automotive paint so idk. I heated my cans very well before spraying. Dipped in boiling water, blow dry and shake for 10 mins, etc.. The paint came out nice and even. But it's too nice, there was always a mist of flying paint every time I spray. Seems unhealthy LOL.

Haha, I agree with the smooth finish. I just spray the pressure hose at it and all the dirt flew off where as the stock rim with mat finish didn't get cleaned enough.

[chrischris]

yeah i did my wifes wheels with automotive paint but the results are the same as the bunnings paint, they are both enamel based. I dont know how it would hold up long term, if the paint will chip and flake off, lol, so far so good.

I'd like to think it's the same plug but if they're not, then no surprise. I'll try to get a photo for you tomorrow.

Also, for someone who was asking which throttle controller to buy (Pivot vs D1) they're literally the same unit. One isn't going to out perform the other.
The only thing I will say about my D1Spec is that it doesn't always turn off when the ignition is off. You can either unplug the OBD2 port to unplug power, or leave it running as it drains very very very little of the battery or create your own DIY switch from Jaycar. Perhaps I got a dodgy unit, or I didn't plug in additional wires.

I got pictures of the unit's harnesses here. OBD2 plug should be the same since it's standard, I assume. I would only be worried about the accelerator harness. The person said his Jazz GE uses 7A harness and FDs use 4A harness or something. I don't know where he got that from but seems legit haha

Are all throttle controllers same for every car?

As i see the photos, the harness look different to mine. I think he is right. I can confirm, the one for FDs is 4A. So you have to buy the harness seperately, $75 from JDMconcept.

Can I just cut the cable and make my own harness? $75 for a pair of harnesses is absurd LOL.

I can make my own harnesses no problem (engineer confidence LOL). I just wonder if this throttle controller from a jazz is compatible with my FD2?

LOL defected i think

[curtis265]

they take your car away over a defect....?

[jprak]

they take your car away over a defect....?

depends on how serious the defect is...
clear small stuff (wheels, rims)
then there's yellow and red label in NSW

red would usually mean you're not able to drive it and have to get it towed.

[LetsDuDiss]

they take your car away over a defect....?

I've seen some dudes getting his car towed away after being pulled over in NSW before. Dunno about other states

[curtis265]

yeah we get reds too but yuou don't get that unless you're completely rusted out, and have no exhaust on a diy ghetto turbo system

all of which that FD doesn't have

Hahaha You guys and your weird as guessing game.
But you were all wrong! My Optima Yellow Top died :( Car wont start, Even if I jump start it, It'll drive for about 5 minutes and it'll cut out again.

Got a replacement battery for $150. Not as good as my Dry Cell Optima Battery but cant afford another $400 Yellow Top.
Maybe in the future I'll get another one. Best battery by far. If anyone is looking at getting a new battery I would highly recommend Optima.

Think my Sound system in draining too much power. Is it expensive to get a second battery in the boot or something?
Recently changed my power cables to 0 gauge. I think thats draining it out

How long did u have that Optima yellow top for? I was thinking of replacing the Batt, but so far don't really have issues.

I've heard lots of goods and bad about Optima. What's it look like in your engine bay? It's a tiny battery yeah? Where did you purchase?

I had it for about 3 years. My optima was the same size as my original battery.
I got it because as soon as I installed my Sub and Amp my stock battery died a few weeks later so needed something made for a high powered system.
Best battery. There are times were Im at a house party and we use my car for music. Played music up loud for about 4-5 hours with engine off and would start perfectly fine the next day.
The Yellow top is made for cars with big sound systems. If you dont have one then maybe go for a redtop and save a bit of money. Red Top has good crank power for when you want to start your car.

I would go for another Yellow Top but broke at the moment. The replacement battery I got has almost the same cranking power as my optima and comes with 3 years warranty.
Should be fine with the warranty

Also, I just watched my video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxDnHMgUMs8
And at about 0:08 you can slightly hear the vtec cross over. Nothing hardcore but if you turn it up you can hear it

I do have aftermarket double din, speakers, lights etc. Stock batts seems to be holding up atm.

I'll just go yellow top, would hurt. Besides the wallet.

I'm looking ebay, the Batts are like $250-$350 range. All the same right?
EDIT: Prob cause of the model, which model fits ours?

I think mine was 34D. But you can get different models.
Make sure they're brandnew though. Not recharged secondhand stuff.
I think price are are different because of other factors. You can get more Terminals and ect. ect.

yeah, just looked. D34 model has like twice the CCA vs the one I linked.

Question, what's this stuff about charging? I'm looking at the manual atm. Are we ment to maintain it somehow? I was hoping it would be drop in and forget sort of batt =P

I have no idea lol. I just dropped it in and used it. The downside to Dry Cell battery is that the're not supposed to be Jump started if our car ever dies.

And at about 0:08 you can slightly hear the vtec cross over. Nothing hardcore but if you turn it up you can hear it

I can't hear it...i don't think our cars have VTEC, anyway

Lol Really? I can hear it. I showed my brother and he heard it. You need to turn it up and around 5,700 revs (8 Seconds) you hear it

[LetsDuDiss]

I can't hear it...i don't think our cars have VTEC, anyway

We do. However, FD1 and FD2 VTEC are different. I assume your car is FD1 with R18 so VTEC hit around 3.5k rpm where as K20Z hit VTEC around 5k rpm. R18 VTEC is designed for fuel economy so I wouldn't be surprised if you can't feel its crossover. For your car, you would be hitting it everyday anyway LOL

what is your next mod guys?
My one is "Folding LED Mirror (Auto Power)". maybe nothing special to you, but it's good for me ;-)
i'm gonna DIY this one, get quoted $250 to install so better DIY to save for something else
@LetDuDiss: you mentioned about making windows close automatically when lock the car like the euros. could you tell me how to do? i want to do both jobs at the same time. Thank man

For the R18, from what I understand, it's more like i-VTEC / Fuel Economy mode up until 3.5K RPM, then it's non-fuel economy mode after that.

LOL I don't know how to do it, that's why I asked you in the first place. My guess would be modifying the relay box to automatically control the window just like the driver side's mirror and add another circuit to activate the windows when the lock engages. You would also have to rewire the power window circuit so that it still have power after you turned your car off.

Since you have the auto folding mirror, you can use that circuit to activate your windows. So it would be easier if you had your mirror installed first then having your windows modified.

I'm not sure how to do it LOL but that's my guess based on engineering logic LOL. Would be interested in DIYing one. Haven't had time yet LOL


For the R18, from what I understand, it's more like i-VTEC / Fuel Economy mode up until 3.5K RPM, then it's non-fuel economy mode after that.

Yeah, so I don't think cross over on R18 is that obvious. It's not really obvious for K20z anyway

For the R18, from what I understand, it's more like i-VTEC / Fuel Economy mode up until 3.5K RPM, then it's non-fuel economy mode after that.

yeh

and it only engages stingy mode when ur on light throttle so you'll only hear it when u mash the throttle from light to heavy within the 'window'

I've never noticed it, heck it's hard enough to notice on my S with the vtak at 4000

[*DAN*]

hey guys, who has HID's here? Looking for a kit atm, and suggestions? I've heard that ebay kits are pretty bad and blow a bulb sometimes or something like that

[FDYOU2]

I've got the eBay one that's one piece with ballast and bulb. In my opinion it's very good. Excellent visibility on the road.

[curtis265]

I had a kaixen one, was great for me but not for others lel

If you do, get a good quality one, i had an ebay kit for fog lights and the cunce kept blowing every second day

they'd also turn off randomly

you get what you pay for.

[stevo1210]

Well that explains a lot then. My FD gets happy after 3.5K RPM. Anything less than that, I feel like I'm in a Camry.

i've noticed that when i slam the accelerator in a certain 'window', the response of the car feels almost immediate. In other windows when i slam the accelerator, it's like lag lag lag lag lag BWAAAHHH...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Will definitely avoid eBay kits as you guys said

So I'm not the only one who feels like that. My brother's ZZE122R Corolla (2002) in auto as well, feels a lot more responsive in the low end from a standing start. But when at speed, FD Civic feels faster.

So thats why you really need the throttle controller to beat your moms corolla from the start, haha :-)

Guies pls

Civic's are are an econobox, not a red light race car, and a throttle controller is no different to planting your foot down further when you're at a standstill.

If new rims, they usually come with a new stem in the box. Otherwise you'll need new stems.

Don't use the OEM nuts with aftermarket wheels. I think the dish bit might be differrent.

Buy the model recommended in your manual (NGK iridium IIRC, but I don't know the model number).
$5 or $25, over the span of 100,000KM, you'll still end up paying the same price.
I've heard people recommend copper over iridium because it sparks better, but didn't have anything to quantify that claim....."it just sparks better".

Agreed, you get what you pay for. Iridium spark plugs might be hard to come by. Normal spark plugs are quite easy to find. But in the end, between the two options, you get the same value. Copper plugs are for racing application as far as I know. They die pretty quickly. As for FDs, its hard to get to the spark plugs so get iridium spark plugs if you can LOL

it's based on theory. Cooper is the best conductor of electricity (well actually gold is.. but yeah)

iridium is produced with higher manufacturing tolerances and produces a more consistent spark

The OEM reverse sensor switch yeah? Just take one off the Accord Euro or normal Accord - should fit.

No the actual sensor itself, the one that sits in the rear bumper, and the attached cable. Acoords same?

Yeah, I know you meant the sensor head and cable in the first part of the question. I might have a spare of those but I need to check my dungeon when the sun comes up.

But I was referring to the second bit of the question with the "switches that are OEM and fit in that section next to the steering wheel". Are you looking for the "reverse sensor off switch (comes on Accord)" or just a blanking piece?

As if it needs custom work to fit them? I thought you can just use the factory FD rails?
If I get this Recaro will it fit on my stock rails? Or will I need aftermarket rails. Thinking of using with stock rails (For now).
Might get Ultra low rails later on so all you see is half my head when im driving. Make me look like a midget.

Got FD2 leather seats put into my FD1. Airbag sensor light is on >_> , need to get it resetted later this week.

NOTE: Rear passenger seats, FD2 (2011) seats is one complete piece. Where as my FD1 (2011) is a 60/40 split seat. So that was a fail, couldn't fit that, so changed everything else leather but that. But it's okay I have black microfibre seat covers anyway.

Smell of leather is nice. :D

AND... lesson learned, ALWAYS lowball wreckers.. could have saved more money. AND always bring a friend mechanic, cause wreckers dont give 2 ****s when extracting the seats from the car.


EDIT: Anyone know how to get the airbag light to go off? Cheers

The same issue I have now.. after hours if searching, the "paper clip" can trick the sensor, but only for that cycle, once u turn car off and back on, the sensor will be back on. My mate's dad is a honda mechanic, he basically said.. "put the OEM seats back in to remove the airbag light" .. Which defeats the purpose!

Or, remove the bulb, and hope you wont need your airbags ever..

Or, remove the bulb, and hope you wont need your airbags ever..

I have an idea. Cut a small piece of electrical tape and cover the airbag light area LOL. Peel it off when you want to check. Out of sight out of mind LOL jokes :P

But seriously, the light is still on even when you plug in new seats?

When you turn your car on, the computer sends a test signal to all airbags to check if they are ok. The airbags will check themselvs and send a signal back if everything is good to go and the light will be off. Your paper clip works because it creates a signal to the computer AFTER the test signal has been sent. Hence, light is off. So when you turn the car off and back on, the signal is shorted when test signal is sent and no "ok" signal returned. I think you can program a micro-controller to send a signal back after receiving a signal from computer, say after 1 second. It will most likely turn the light off. Try to do this by yourself to test if this work first then automate it with a micro-controller. Should be a 3-line program LOL easy as fk :P But whether your airbag will deploy or not, you will have to try it yourself LOL but modding it this way is definitely safer and less hassle than removing the bulb

Nah its a complete function kit for the R18 only, sure you could recycle Turbo n intercooler and some of the pipe but youd need a shit load of other stuff.

[curtis265]

howcome stevil?

[Stevil]

pretty simple curtis, more bloody power ! look the R18 turbo's a fantastic combination and I've gone quicker at the track then i expected, but for me to keep on going quicker means I need to either build an R18 so it can handle more power or I increase capacity so K24 seems a no brainer. Nothin wrong with the FD chassis and I like 4 doors so it I llprobably keep it a long time, bit hard to get excited about new model car with some much crap in em ya dont need.

[jprak]

well im still modding the FD and decided to go a different way on the rear bumper...plan to make it lower ;)
