EP3 Type R

[Philip Lee]

congrat mate. twin loops!!

[c1v1c]

Yes!! :cool: .. A few more kms than what I hoped it would have. But still only 34000kms :D..

Already shopping around for some mods.. So if anyone can point me in the direction of a good supplier of EP3 parts it would be appreciated. Already checking out JDMYards stock.

[Philip Lee]

What sort of mods are u looking for?

not sure about your taste but i'd drive the car in the current state first before looking for mods.

[c1v1c]

Yes agreed. I will be driving it around as is for atleast a month or 2 (till I get off my P's).. After that it is CAI, ECU, and a few other light mods..

[Mugen_B16B]

lucky bugger got mugen twin loop

[c1v1c]

Apparently not just the twin loop ;).. well so I have been told.. Need to inspect for myself 1st but I was told it is a Full Mugen Exhaust.

[Mugen_B16B]

[c1v1c]

full exhaust means header + CAT + cat back right?

[c1v1c]

full exhaust means header + CAT + cat back right?

That is what I took it as meaning. Guess I just have to wait till the beginning of September to find out exactly..

So excited though.. Finally going to be out of my lil eg 1.3L carby :)

[Mugen_B16B]

[Perry]

get RE30's

[Mugen_B16B]

ce28n's are better!

[ITRDC2]

ce28n's are better!

too many fake ce28 around, so re30 is the go :cool:

[Mugen_B16B]

have u seen the fake re30's goin around? i can say all genuine nice wheels will get copied and then its gg, i wish i had 4k US for 17' cpr's dam so baller

[Perry]

have u seen the fake re30's goin around? i can say all genuine nice wheels will get copied and then its gg, i wish i had 4k US for 17' cpr's dam so baller

really fake RE30's?? havn't seen them around yet.

[ITRDC2]

have u seen the fake re30's goin around? i can say all genuine nice wheels will get copied and then its gg, i wish i had 4k US for 17' cpr's dam so baller

but compare to te37 and ce28n, re30 is less known and less ppl like i'd say, cuz i guess is much newer than the 2 others? now a day seeing many re30 on fd2r on best motoring vid!

[white_ep3_civic]

[Rai-C]

anyone here running and injen cai? im looking into buying one soon.. just wondering how its been treating other owners :)

[Philip Lee]

Injen is popular amongst us.

I personally run Fujita which is similar in design. When vtec kicks in it really screams but it seems to lose a bit of low down torque. But after I got cat back fitted torque seems to get better.

[Mugen_B16B]

mine should be here tmr or tuesday, also wat oil u guys use for ur motor's, 5-30W anygood?

[Philip Lee]

I used both castrol edge 5w30 and 0w40. Both seems fine.

[bbds]

[Nepolian]

0-10/30-40 is fine in my opinion :)


hi guys, just wondering if any of u's down the track are planning on boosting your ep3s?

Nop! Go buy an Nissan or EVO for that!

[Rai-C]

i agree lol i get my full licence soon.. if i wanted boost i woulda waited a few months and bought myself an EVO lol

[bbds]

yeah, just thought it would be different thats all, anyone know any good workshops in melbourne that i could go to for all motor?

[stoj19]

boost + FWD = :eek:

[Rai-C]

i can imagine it would look something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhoSw0Vnq2U

[bbds]

i can imagine it would look something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhoSw0Vnq2U

i think i might invest in the CAI.. the gruppem is too $$$ and bling for my usage lol i just need bang for buck!

[blk_shadow]

[ITRDC2]

Spoon good choice also i think :)

[KaZe86]

well you get the j's racing exhuast and ill buy the toda! easier xD ahahaha

[white_ep3_civic]

anyone here running and injen cai? im looking into buying one soon.. just wondering how its been treating other owners :)

Yeh prob the best sound ever, it makes a massive difference.

[Philip Lee]

Who say fwd + FI don't mix.

The hot hatch standard is now fwd + FI. Just look at Focus RS or Megane R26R.

all serious $40k hot hatches are now turboed. Gti, xr5, Mps3, Mini Cooper S etc. Honda is minority these days.

[Philip Lee]

Spoon good choice also i think :)

With spoon, it's either too loud (n1) or too quiet (street).

Also they sell mid pipe seperately from muffler and the price for mid pipe is crazy.

Was wonderin wat kind of kms you all get out of a tank of fuel, wat size the tanks is and also at wat rpm the vtec changeover comes in at?

[c1v1c]

Just put the money down for the Ingen CAI, still no car in Aust yet. But stocking up on parts :)

[Rai-C]

Was wonderin wat kind of kms you all get out of a tank of fuel, wat size the tanks is and also at wat rpm the vtec changeover comes in at?

my VTEC kicks in at about 5500ish and i get about 400ish kms from a 40L fill up? its a 50L tank i think.. but even on EMPTY i only have to fill 40L.. cheering! beats the 60L tank on my Legend lol fkn crappy fuel economy on that thing.. -__- 350ishkms out of a 60L tank.. gg. lol.

[Philip Lee]

i thought vtec kicks in at 6000rpm??

mine seems to be the case (stock ecu).

[white_ep3_civic]

i thought vtec kicks in at 6000rpm??

mine seems to be the case (stock ecu).

Yeh mine was kiking in at 6000rpm when I bought the car and the idol was at 1000rpm. Now the car idols at 500rpm and vtec now comes in at 5500rpm.

[KaZe86]

well its i-vtec so its spread accross the rev range but with a cai the actual crossover sound i believe is 6.5k rpm thats my car... stock ecu also 40l tank 400kms also

[white_ep3_civic]

Yeh i thought that should be the case. My fuel gauge doesnt work properly so I don't want to risk running out of fuel. Thanks for that a big help.

[Philip Lee]

Yeh mine was kiking in at 6000rpm when I bought the car and the idol was at 1000rpm. Now the car idols at 500rpm and vtec now comes in at 5500rpm.

did you do anything to your ecu?

500rpm idle seems slightly low?!

[white_ep3_civic]

well its i-vtec so its spread accross the rev range but with a cai the actual crossover sound i believe is 6.5k rpm thats my car... stock ecu also 40l tank 400kms also

I've got a cai on mine to and it is still at around 5500ishrpm. Guess it all depends on the car.

[Rai-C]

im running fully stock.. i can feel vtec at 5.5k though? i also have a rev limiter at 5.5k when im in neutral.. is this stock ECU settings?

[white_ep3_civic]

did you do anything to your ecu?

500rpm idle seems slightly low?!

Yeh the plate says 750rpm is where it is supposed to be. Na I didn't actually change the idol. I just told the dealership where I bought it from that it was idoling too high so the dropped it 2 500rpm. It doesn't idol rough or seem to be doing anything bad. I'm pretty sure it a stock ecu but I havn't cheked that yet.

[white_ep3_civic]

im running fully stock.. i can feel vtec at 5.5k though? i also have a rev limiter at 5.5k when im in neutral.. is this stock ECU settings?

Yeh the limiter at 5500rpm is the stock ecu. It pretty much launch control. Not that I would try and launch it at that rpm.

[ekhybrid]

Has anyone compared a dc5 muffler to an ep3 one? Are the differences only in the length?

You'll need DC5 Tie rods (EP3 too small) and shave about 4mm off the rear lower eyelets.

Just imagine a black rubber bend coming off your throttle body and a little bit of shiny aluminum pipe running off it and going under the battery. There's really not much to see.

ANyone can explain what are the benifits of running this?

[Nepolian]

^^ It looks good, and I'm sure it serves the purpose of somewhat of tightening the rear end of the car?

IMO it'll need to give me 1-2 secs of a lap round the track to justify $1000ish tag!

aw man that sucks.. the only problems ive had with my one from IMG was a squeaky steering rack which was easily fixed with a little grease and a missing plastic centre console light cover thingo and a broken seat tab thingo to make it tilt forward (excuse my lack of technical vocabulary haha) but yeah.. all easily fixed within about 3 hours of taking it back to IMG! props to their customer service for sure.


Golf and IS200 at Cecil Hills :) you live near there?

Anyone here knows how to remove the stock spoiler & if it's easy?

[NightRyder]

why?..stock spoiler not good enough for ya?..hehe :P

I think you need to go from the inside by opening the rear hatch and checking the bolts. You might even have to take out some interior plastics to get into the inner bolts. :)

Yep, thats what I was going to say. I'd say there would be 2-4 bolts from the inside! Good luck tho!

BTW....Has anyone in Sydney got a stock B pipe for me to have/buy/borrow?

you have to get the original, bro. otherwise no good...

I'm yet to see the replica, whether they are adjustable or not, but it won't come with the badge for sure.
fitment is another issue

[Mugen_B16B]

seibon cf ones, 450 US + 400US shippin

or genuine for 1.4k:eek:

but many of the ppl from the us forum said seibon mg style spoiler is over the original thou, cuz they are always cf, and u can just paint the side bit into cw and leav the middle part cf, i reckon it would be good, a good sample jdm fd2r, and yes, only genuine come with that badge and u cant even find that in aftermarket.

[Mugen_B16B]

i found one on nengun, man its like me selling my recaros just for it, so not worth it

i think theres a cw ep3 with a genuine mugen spoiler on carsale, i think he wanted 30+ for it and its only a preface

[ITRDC2]

lol i know that guy, the number plate used to be EP3R red color plate..very famous!yeah i pm him if he wanted to part out his mugen lip and he rejected, lol

[ITRDC2]

i found one on nengun, man its like me selling my recaros just for it, so not worth it

lol if u want to get stuff from nengun, its better that i get off for u from japan lol, from the currency now i guess about 1.2k to get it shipped ems now

[Mugen_B16B]

yeah his car looks sweet, but still 33k for it is not worth it imo with only just over 140kw but very clean example

[ITRDC2]

mine will over his in the future hehe
