EP3 Type R

[rpm boy]

well i dunno, we asked him b4 with 2 ppl and he said not much but if we get a couple more im sure he will look after us, just depends how many we can get

[Philip Lee]

well if it's around $450 then i'll do it hahaha

[Mugen_B16B]

30 dollars phillip, im sure if u can afford a 30k+ ep3 u can addord 30 lol

[rpm boy]

we need the $30 cause we spent the 30k :p

[Philip Lee]

well that $30 would compensate for the postage hahahaha.

i personally wasn't intended to do CAI but since i'll fit a catback i guess i might as well to get the full gain for this mild setup (short of ECU, cams etc).

GruppeM is way to expensive so Injen is the go but i hate having to take off the bumper.

so a bit of discount will help me to make the decision haha.

[rpm boy]

well ill put you down when we talk to yonas then tell you what price we can get b4 we go ahead

[Philip Lee]

well ill put you down when we talk to yonas then tell you what price we can get b4 we go ahead

no problem. thanks

also Fujita is selling $435 shipped (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94346) for near identical item so i can't justisfy another $70 or so for an Injen (assuming postage is around $20).

[rpm boy]

^ that looks even better...any diff between the 2?

read this thread (http://www.clubitr.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=5959).


Both very similar....its really up to you if you want to spend extra on the Injen.
Injen comes with a washer bottle, not entirely sure if the fujita does.

Edit: Only major difference is if you ever want to upgrade to a RBC intake manifold then the Injen will be the better choice due to it having a rubber elbow to connect to the TB.

i don't really care for the TB elbow since there is zero chance for me to upgrade the intake manifold.

dunno how important the washer bottle is tho. i never use it but i guess it's good to have it. dunno what happen to the stock bottle tho. maybe it's in the way??

[Nepolian]

Washer bottle only applies to DC5 guys, no other mods needed.

I have a dummy EP3 CAI set up if any one wants it. Its stainless steel etc. Quite well made. Me thinks anything over $350 is too much for CAI considering you dont get alot!

Pm for further details!

[Philip Lee]

thanks Nepolian.

if that's the case, maybe ask for a GB for the Fujita CAI instead???

[Nepolian]

OK guys, I'm talking to Import Monster on getting some windscreens over from Japan. There are at least 3 suppliers on Yahoo auctions who can come up with the goods. All are legit shops with actual shops. Import Monster also guarantees all made through them. So I need to confirm some numbers so please indicate if you are definitely in for an EP3 windscreen.

Once I have confirmed numbers, I will then PM/email you the info as I get them, with links to the three suppliers on Yahoo auctions to consider which to go for.

[Philip Lee]

just got pm back.

for Injen, the price will be $450 pick up (extra for shipping) if we have 10. and it must be 10 (ie. not even 9). i dunno what discount we can get (if any) for under 10.

let's discuss.

[rpm boy]

will do, i figured we still had a week so (or so) so we could do it near the end when yonas is more desperate for sales

[KaZe86]

lols we aint gonna get 10 ahahaha guess its a single buy :( yonas aint gonna be desperate his just gonna jack up the price again ahahaha

if all things fail then we'll just buy at the krudd special price. nothing to lose really.

[KaZe86]

They will fit with minimal mods in my opinion Perry :thumbsup:. You might need to roll the rear guards.

[Nepolian]

Would be nice! I think you may have issues with the rears. I have 16 x 6.5 with a 20mm spacer and it was already in line with the guard. Had less than 1mm gap!

9" - 6.5" = 2.5" = about 62mm = 31mm each way

My offset was 45, this is 38 so thats 31mm + 7mm = 38mm. Looks like it gonna be sticking out about 18-20mm........by my back yard caculations :(

Just put fkn 4mm of camber on it :)

Do it like bbds mang!

[chargeR]

Here is 9 +35 all round with 245s. So the regas will have 3mm less poke at the front and 13mm less poke at the rear, which should be easily enough to get them nicely under the guards.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/k20ep3/IMG_0467.jpg

If you run 235/40 on the 9" and 225/45 or 215 on the 8" and roll your rear guards and run a little camber, about -2, they should fit pretty well with no rub anywhere.

SuperSteve and Perry - I have some good news on the windscreens! After talking to Import Monster for most of the week, they were a bit hesitant in importing windscreens due to the risk of breakage - mostly due to poor handling by couriers. So while we could go down this road, it sounds risky with no guarantees nor insurance against potential breakages while in transit.

A few more phone calls and I ended up speaking to Ralph Moore Autoglass in Mascot earlier in the week. It seems that one of the dealers had recently asked him about an EP3 windscreen and so we managed to find him at the right time. Ralph called me this morning and said his supplier in China can supply these in minimum quantities of 5. He will have the 1st 3x screens in around 3 weeks and the other 2x screens 2 weeks after that. And for anyone else needing an EP3 windscreen, Ralph should have 1x spare.

Price is going to be $550-$600 supplied and fitted which is amongst the best I have seen so far. I'm not overly nervous about them coming from China as Ralph seems to be well regarded and has a history in sourcing hard to find windscreens. So I don't think he would supply a crappy product and risk his reputation.

...which integra has the brembo brakes? and what else do u need to do the conversion? spacers, brake booster?
also what diameter is the stock EP3 rotors?

[Philip Lee]

JDM DC5R has the brembo brakes. dunno about your other questions tho...

[rpm boy]

Ah i thought so, they are 6 pot right?

[Perry]

I think they are 4 pot.

[questera]

Ah i thought so, they are 6 pot right?

They are 4 pots. i think You will need the JDM DC5 knuckle set and also the lower arm bar to do the conversion.

[chargeR]

Ah i thought so, they are 6 pot right?

They are 4 piston.

You will need everything that you need to do a conversion on an AUDM DC5R which includes but is not limited to (this is for the front only):

Calipers, brackets and pads
Rotors
Hubs/Knuckles
Lower control arms
Axles
ABS sensor lines
Front sway bar

You might also need to change the tie rod ends if EP3R ones are different to DC5R.

Better off gettin a big brake kit from the us for similar money. Many people have done the JDM brembo with mixed results.

Id spend the money on performace stuff first. Plenty of people track DC5Rs with OEM rotors and calipers with only upgraded pads to good effect.

If you want bling, just get a set of spoon calipers! Easy to fit, no mods!

[rpm boy]

No, i dont want anyone to know nething when there looking at the car, id rather nieve people just think its a 2 door jazz, engine work is on its way, want to get about 200kws but just reasearching as to what i would need for diff brake setups, and which would be more suited for the car setup. i mean its not going to be a massive turbo or supercharged thing, just bolt ons and head work to compliment/get the motor running to its full potential ....N/A All the way

hi, thanks, but its 02 model, so it doesnt come with std hid right, i've been tested the high beam works but not the low beam, the low beam just flash abit then off and when u turn on again it just keep like flashing a few sec then off again. so strange. and also i think for the ep3s they have the problem that they all have a soft plastic cover for the std headlight, and i found it not possible to put in again once you install the aftermarket hid cuz so many wiring.

[Philip Lee]

does your car has rear privacy glass, power folding side mirrors, rear screen wipers etc?

if so then your is a C package and should have HID standard. the RAW has taken them off during compliance.

Did the originbal H4 beams work properly. If so, it may be the wiring or the ballast on the hid.

I have plastic ones, its almost two years now and its dtill fine!

Wiring whe the HID are put in are quite messy. Not too bad when you tidy it up a little as best you can.

so your car should have factory HID.

i guess you don't have the factory ballast etc?

if not then probably an aftermarket H4? how did you wire up from oem plug to your new ballast? i guess this is the biggest problem, as wiring from ballast to bulb should be straight forward.

Phil...they cut the original loom and modify it to fit std H4's.

ITRDC2...OK, are you talking about the rubber boot which sits behind the globe?? To fit the HID, cut a slit at the bottom of the boot downwards about 1 inch. Then you should be able to squeeze it past the HID globe.

Most HID kits have a direct fit H4 male plug, so you just stick it into the existing female plug from the car.

yup that helps i know what u mean the method of cutting the rubber boot now, yeah i know plug to plug, but it just not working. i will meet the hid guy tonight i will get him to test out, hopefully i didnt burn the low beams, so that in case i can change over from him, thanks for your advice

u guys rekon i would see a gain by changing to BC headers without changing the cat back?

[SuperSteve]

u guys rekon i would see a gain by changing to BC headers without changing the cat back?

yeah u should see some sort of gain. U got a intake ?? I know someone that had a ep3 that had gruppe m, buddy club headers, + kpro and had 143kw at the wheels.

[Philip Lee]

^ i think the key there is kpro...

[ITRDC2]

i heard a lot good feedback of kpro, but how about spoon?

[Nepolian]

i heard a lot good feedback of kpro, but how about spoon?

Spoon isnt tunable!

[Mugen_B16B]

Nah, just cleaning out some unused stuff...spent too much money already, may as well enjoy it!

[SuperSteve]

quick question, for those who have tinted their windows, did you just get the front ones done to match or new tinit all around??

[Philip Lee]

quick question, for those who have tinted their windows, did you just get the front ones done to match or new tinit all around??

yes but imo the factory privacy glass is very dark. definitely dark than 35%, i'd say even darker than 20%.....

[SuperSteve]

quick question, for those who have tinted their windows, did you just get the front ones done to match or new tinit all around??

i got 20% or 25% (cant remember sorry) for driver and passenger side doors to try and match the rear window but the rear still seems darker. Still looks good though

hows redline gb oil compared to motul?

[EP3EVA]

hmm have any of you guys feel the ep3 r is harder to judge turning in left, eg scare of hitting the curb! dont if is the ep3 r in-car view is harder than most car i drove.

btw i have own EM1, JDM mx5, FC RX-7 , 03 wrx sti, jdm AE86!

yeah they all very easy to judge.


just want to hear do you feel the same?

KW is a german brand i think. seems to make good stuff but i doubt if their EP3 kit is tailored for our JDM cars. not sure if there are substantial diff tho.

[Philip Lee]

dunno but i'd personally stick to oem honda gb oil.

[EP3EVA]

yeah thats rite!!


i think make the car a bit harder to judge at times.

[Malenic1981]

If you go redline don't go for that shockproof, not good (I know from experience), best is to stick with oem

as for KW coilovers, very big brand in europe, I know that lots of guys in europe and uk use them, they make stuff for bmw, merc, audi, vw, porshe ect, I know a guy that had them on S2000, very good.

Windscreen update...

I visited Ralph Moore Autoglass in Mascot last week. It is a small to medium size workshop - kind of old school but nice in a way as they have been around for a while. They carry a fair bit of stock with a couple of walls of racking for the windscreens.

Perry, I asked Ralph about the seals. He had a look at my car and can't see any major issues there. He has a few different windscreen extrusion profiles and reckons there is one which is pretty similar to the one around the top.

All looking good so far. I rang him this morning and the shipment is still in transit. I will call him on Friday to get another update.

Hey everyone,
i'm getting my brand new rotors and brand new brake pads soon...i was just wondering if i should wear my rotors in first with my old pads, or wear the brake pads in with my old rotors? (old rotors are in bad condition and need machining) or is it ok to put both on at the same time and let them wear in together? Also what would be the amount of K's before they are worn in?
Thanks in advance!

from previously changing rotors and break pads on an s15, i was told when you change your rotors, you need to use new brake pads. Because the wear patterns would be different if you use break pads from the old rotors on your new rotors.

maybe this was just a way for them to get me to buy new pads aswell

Hope that helps

ordered dc5r engine mounts already, will that solve the issue?

[Mugen_B16B]

u prob will need an engine torque damper to stop the engine movement, i'd recommend filling up ur other mounts with pu or silicon, anther ep3 owner on this forum has done so and says works a charm, cheaper alternative then the innovative mounts and less vibration aswell

did u get ur discs machined?

[EP3EVA]

dont think so, around how much to get it machined?

should get it machined asap??

what if i dont?

[blk_shadow]

usually when you change pads, get the discs machined as well, either that or change the discs

that shudder might have been coming from uneven surface of the discs rubbing against an even surface of the new pads

have u got slotted or drilled rotors? are your new brake pads harder then the old pads? not really necessary to machine your old rotors unless ur pads were wearing uneven, or theres a lip at the end of your rotors?

I got a set of coilovers at home, but she doesnt want it to bumpy so i might get her a set of mugen for cheap!

[denrie]

Where are you located? You wan't to swap? :) It's not to bumpy but i'm not sure if it's height adjustable? But its certainly lower than stock.

Nah mugen ones are not height adjustable they low about 1" - 1.5" max.

[QUOTE=rpm boy;2264832]Yep, going to see how it goes, they will prob have to do cams etc to compensate :p

Let me know how it goes coz I was thinking about ITB's but just couldnt justify installing cams with it at the moment.


TWM brand
Toda AU tuned it
Ran good with it
Yonas from JDM yard ran them on his stock K20 and said they were great, i mean cams would make it even better, but i prefer to have the stock motor running at its best before i open it up
Still have to buy kpro and sort out what exhaust i get, eighter 2.5 inch or 3, only problem is i dont want any noise from it and 3 inch is prone to have alot of noise....decisions decisions

i'd personally go 2.5 inches on a NA. for a 2L car, it should be plenty big enough.

Yeah thats what i would have thought, but alot of the k20 guys are running 3" and say its the way to go....i want to do it right the first time so ill need to investigate a little further when its time to get it done....

[blk_shadow]

love the height now, but yeah, scrapes on every level on my apartment's parking lot. can't stand it LOL.

rpm_boy: r u really gonna run ITB's on the car?

[blk_shadow]

hey, thx bro ;)

not too sure how many inches, but now is 1 finger gap at the front and 1.5 finger at the rear.

my B-pipe is scraping like there is no tomorrow. very hard to drive.

people say 3'' is too loud but with more power over 2.5'',but 2.5 have best sounding....


that i go for 2.7 shunk2 megapower r....best in both world maybe:confused:

[rpm boy]

Blk_shadow: yep going to run QTB's got nothing better to do :p

Yeah i just cant understand 3" for a NA 2ltr
the turbo buys are using that diameter i dont think ud have any back pressure left with that bigger exhaust so i dunno
but i dont want to hear nething so theres the next problem happy medium between restriction and sound (noise)

[EGBOY]

i have 3" on mine, yes its loud, but if you can handle it then go for it,
lacks a little punch off the line as you would expect but really opens it up top end... although to get 3" underneath takes some tucking up, very tight with it there and it hangs down a bit as you'd expect

2.5" is the best setup for street driving, I have my Mugen Twinloop which is 2.5", however when I track I use Mugen N1 ECU with Mugen N1 exhaust which is 3" with no cat and resonator. Thats really loud but it sound crazy on top end......wouldn't recommand for street tho.....~!

prolly you saw someone else's car. I hardly drive my car, only weekends.

and I never parked in that apartment building as well. did it have TE37 as well and the number plate?

[jt2k]

It also had white TE37. without your number plate though... maybe someone else.

[ITRDC2]

maybe that the number plate EP3R

[blk_shadow]

maybe that the number plate EP3R

is that yours? LOL
