EG kit Converting to an Ek kit ?

[hondavti25]

Hey guys would it be that hard to get a EG greddy kit to fit an EJ8 or ek engine bay?

[tekung89]

it would pobably fit fine without any mods. i dont think theres much difference between the eg's and eks. unless ur running a D series and the kit is for B series or vice versa which in that case u need to change the manifold. all in all , everything is pretty much the same.

[Sexc86]

yeh mate i really dont think there would be shit all difference. Unless the computer was a hondata and it was obd specific or somethin.

But in terms of fittment.. piece of cake!

[hondavti25]

yeah the greddy eg kit is 1400ish us and the ek is 2000ish wounder why the differance, also why i am on my kit any one wanna recomonded a cooler that i can get in AUS that wont be to expensive?

[hondavti25]

An ebay seller said that the eg kit will work on the in the ek but will need a another fuel management unit ?

[Sexc86]

Cooler just get a plain 600 x 300 x 75 with 2.5 - 3inch tank inlets of ebay. Cheap as chips!

[tekung89]

go the 600x145x65, in2.5''/out2.5'' cooler or somthing :D they fit straight on without any fitment issues
yeh they might be giving u a different/better fuel management thats why its more expensive.

I'd guess because most EG are carb and dont require fuel managment uprade, whereas the EK's are injected and do ?

This is because EG are OBD1 and EK are OBD2. Just get a conversion harness.

[tekung89]

are most EK's OBD2? lol uh ohhh

[hondavti25]

hmmm so how much would i be looking at to get the the conversion harness i found a couple for like 90 buks max

You guys are all wrong.

The reason the kits are different prices is because the EK kit comes with a slightly larger turbo and a few extras like 320cc injectors.

The EG kit will fit perfectly, only difference it only has 1 o2 sensor bung, and u need to extend it a little. ECU wise, both run an emange that u need to chop into the std harness for. Both kits will run perfectly on each model.

[hondavti25]

thanks weq so if you where me what would you do 2500 for the ek one
or 2000 for the eg ?

[tekung89]

for simplicity sake i'd get the EK kit, less hassle. but u'll love it better if u got each individual part urself :) might work out cheaper too if u look around at the right places

[hondavti25]

nah it wont turn out cheaper coz my tune and ecu upgrade alone will be 1900 to go to hondata and have it tuned thats max but a good estimate so ive been told.

$1900 for ECU + TUNE? what?

I thought hondata about $280 + tune about $600 + conversion harness about $250 = $1130

Whats the extra $770?


EDIT :
Um i aint to sure but if yours is a 98 coupe ive been told from james our ecus arent bolt on with hondata. We need to get a replacement one then get hondata so your looking at 900 for replacement ecu and HONDATA.

Just read that in another post from you.... I thought hondata was a whole new ECU, and you get rid of your old ECU ? If thats correct, why do you need replacment ECU then hondata?

[hondavti25]

some hondata ecus are not compaditable with stock honda ecus like the ej8 this is coming straight from james from hondata.

A new OBD1 ECU should only cost like $150, so +285 Hondata

$435 max

EDIT : 600+ tuning
Conversion harness $190

$1225+ roughly....

he's not obd1 though.

Yes as weq said, your paying for a bigger turbo

[1996ek1]

+$190 conversion harness. Its still $700'ish short of $1900.

[aimre]

tuning was $800 for boost last time i looked at getting one

thanks weq so if you where me what would you do 2500 for the ek one

Get the EG kit. With the money u save, by;

FMIC + piping
440cc injectors
emanage inginition harness and tuning cable
boost comtroller for 10-12psi.

u dont need hondata. the emanage will run your stock engine as good, and its alot cheaper to tune.
