EP3 Type R

[KaZe86]

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

seibon one is next to perfect to the mugen also 3 way adjustable also i think but yeah man i aint that baller to buy original xD ahahaha


seibon cf ones, 450 US + 400US shippin

or genuine for 1.4k:eek:

i got quoted 1.9k for mugen original and seibon one is roughly 900 shipped or so

[white_ep3_civic]

Mugen Grilles for the EP3 are discontinued from what I know.. Will be very hard to find a genuine 1 at a good price if this information is correct.

no not yet, got a few more weeks. :)

Evo talk?...wow...that was my dream car before I got my EP3...hehe

yeah how was WSID?...I just read some people had helmet trouble?

Been busy with work, coming home late and too tired to jump online to browse...just got things to do before I fly I guess.

the easiest way is 2 get an aftermarket ecu

[ITRDC2]

or mod the ecu?

[k0e1]

just wondering if anyone here modded their ecu and where did you get it done at?
Bridgestone adrenalin 225/40/18 $384 each !!!! my wallet =='

Yeah ku36 are going for 330 each (fitting and balance) at a kogarah dealer nearly the same. hmm u reckon ur mate cna do it for cheaper

[Nepolian]

yeah but that price 225/40 R18 KU36 $249.00 but it
doesnt include fitting and balance. so maybe it will be the same

LOL! $249 + $15 is alot less than $384.....to me anyway!

Go to Toda at Wetherill Park. They sell and tune Hondata ECU's. Save up for a K-Pro. You have the UKDM EP3? Is your redline at 8000 or 8500? Top speed on tacho 180km/h or 260km/h? Where did you get your car from if you don't mind me asking? :)

[Mugen_B16B]

didnt u get jdm ep3? curious myself aswell cause i thought we only got jdm

[denrie]

IMG has a UKDM one but not complied yet. Top Secret also had a UKDM and got sold aswell.

[Mugen_B16B]

maybe no jdm ones left to import lol

[c1v1c]

Plenty left to import.. But wonder why they going for UKDM???

[Mugen_B16B]

cheaper option for importer?

maybe they think were dumb fks and import it hoping they we will think its the jdm one which they only pay 3/4 the price of the jdm ones and jack the price to the jdm price over here?

redline at 8500 rpm and 180km/hr

[denrie]

redline at 8500 rpm and 180km/hr

Thats a JDM then. It has a UK flag at the back right? It's only the chassis from UK thats all. It's engineered in Japan.

our cars are capped at 180 at the factory? I didn't know this. All I know is the last marking on the speedo is 190, and thats where VTEC kicks in on 6th gear. My needle kept going, all the way till it was hovering over the odometer screen. I figure that to be about 220kmph.

Maybe the previous owner got that chip you guys mentioned??

[Philip Lee]

i heard some news that phillip went to the brissy dyno day today which i totally 4got bout lol but anyhow wait for him to post up his results im guessing around 125-130ish

The damn dyno played up and they also measured in hp.

I got 164.5hp (Cai + catback) in 4th (speed limiter kicked in using 5th) which converted to around 123kw.

As a comparison, a Toda 2.2 stroked DC5R pulled around 184hp, a CL9 with ecu, Gruppe M, full exhaust pulled 167hp but with a lot less in the mid range than me.

We were overlapping our graphs and he only beat me because my car was running rich over 7000rpm.

Yes. All Japanese cars by law are limited to 180km/h. Unless you of course have an R35 and are on a racetrack in japan :eek:

very nice. it's all cause its JDM spec :thumbsup:

[Jibz]

One other thing I'm curious about, is why are the cars Dynoing so low?

Stock, these cars should make ~160KW at the crank, if the literature is to be believed. FWD cars should only lose about 10-15% of their power through drivetrain losses, so we should be seeing stock dyno runs at about 136-144KW at the wheels, but we don't.

As Philip posted above, he's getting 123KW WITH mods, which is roughly 23% drivetrain loss (performing the calculation using the STOCK quoted power for our cars). That kind of drivetrain loss might be expected from a 4WD but I don't understand why its so high for us, unless our cars never made the power in the first place. Either that or the tires used arent in the best condition and can't put the power down, but that seems unlikely.

Can anyone explain this to me? It's something I noticed and it's kind of bugging me.

[Philip Lee]

I think firstly this particular dyno reads low.

Also Japanese manufacturers dyno their engine without accessories so they would usually read higher.

I am not too concerned with this number itself. I am more concerned with how my car compares with the other K engined cars that ran today. Pity there wasn't another Ep3 there today...

As a rule of thumb, its usually about 25%. Which is quite spot on! I know a couple that have pulled about 120 stock.....DC5R's are usually 105-110 (147kw) and DC5S pull 110-115 (154kw).

One must remember that a chassis dyno is a tuning tool which is only really comparable on the day.

You only need to compare this with a car which has similar mods to you (on the day).

Heres an example.......Lets say Person A has pulled a PB run of 150kw and Person B has pulled PB run of 140kw.

Now say......on a particular dynoday Person A runs 142kw and is disappointed because his PB is 150. But Person only pulled 133kw.

Both cars have dynoed alot lower than their PBs and one would ask why? It is because it is a different day with different condition etc.....Ideally a chassi dyno should be enclosed in a controlled environment with temp and humidity control etc to keep the variations at bay. But due to the sheer cost, not many people do it!

Given that both cars have a reading loss which is similar, one would conclude that on this particular dynoday, the reading of the dyno has changed for many reasons, ie...recently serviced, software upgrade, environment etc.....

Also......modding NA cars is alot more difficult than people think. Its not about how much you spend, but how you do it!

I think Kaze got 123kw with catback as well!

[Nepolian]

Damn I wasted $400 for the cai with no gain but it sounds heaps better so it's alright lol

That would only be measurable on the day. Who knows, you'll probably make 130 on the next dynoday :)

Dont let a dyno tell you whether you got gains! You know from driving the car yourself :)

[Philip Lee]

Haha butt dyno is more accurate!

As I said I was happy with the result.

Apparently the intake temp was 31degrees when I ran....

[Mugen_B16B]

The damn dyno played up and they also measured in hp.

I got 164.5hp (Cai + catback) in 4th (speed limiter kicked in using 5th) which converted to around 123kw.

As a comparison, a Toda 2.2 stroked DC5R pulled around 184hp, a CL9 with ecu, Gruppe M, full exhaust pulled 167hp but with a lot less in the mid range than me.

We were overlapping our graphs and he only beat me because my car was running rich over 7000rpm.

Phillip, I have since realised that overlaying our graphs like we did is not accurate. Your car revs to 8500rpm correct? My car was dynod to 7000rpm.

So when we overlayed our graphs we were comparing our power outputs at different RPM - i.e. the scales cannot be overlayed.

A k20 certainly doesn't make more torque/power than a k24 in the midrange

My car makes peak power at 6000rpm so it would be impossible for you to have more midrange torque than me.

Have a look at where my peak power and peak torque occurs on this dyno of my car:

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6371/honda.gif

Hi Chris,

welcome to "our home" lol.

i think the X axis was measuring speed on our graphs from 101 and not rpm, Y was hp. also i recall our scale was the same.

if the above is correct, what is the implication??

ps. the more i think the more we wasted $35.... it raises more questions than giving answers lolol

thanks

hey guys just wondering whats the stock height for an ep3? 4 fingers? and ps anyone here friends with monqiue chuong my friend told me someone just got an ep3 and just wondering if he is here. =Dhttp://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL1877/8801430/16270980/372671248.jpg
here is the rims =D

About 3 normal fingers front and 2.5 rear.

Hi Chris,

welcome to "our home" lol.

i think the X axis was measuring speed on our graphs from 101 and not rpm, Y was hp. also i recall our scale was the same.

if the above is correct, what is the implication??

ps. the more i think the more we wasted $35.... it raises more questions than giving answers lolol

thanks

Philip

Hey Phillip, thanks for the welcome :)

If the measurement of speed was accurate it means I have a longer 4th gear. For example At 7000rpm my car will be travelling the same speed as your car is travelling at 8500rpm.

So the very tip of your graph will be something like 160km/h at 8500rpm

The very tip of my graph will be something like 160km/h at 7000rpm

here is a quick diagram I drew up to show the difference between comparing speed and RPM - this is very rough... just showing how the powercurves would look if you overlayed them based on RPM instead of speed.

Considering your car has only very few mods compared to my car it is normal for me to make slighlty more HP... with more modifications and tuning your car would make more peak HP than my car, but it would still do it at higher RPM :)

for further comparison, here is a plot of my car vs. a dc5r.

the k20 has I/H/E + RBC intake manifold + ECU tuning
my car has I/H/E + ECU tuning

you can see the k20 makes about 140kw compared to my 132kw, but they achieve the power at different RPM

i think the graph would look more like this:

new line being my car when red is yours while the new black line is idling rpm

if our 101 graph is correct, it would mean it'll take you less rpm to reach 160km/h and at a given rpm, your output should be higher?

post the acutal graph up phillip i wanna see

[Mugen_B16B]

Dont see much difference going from 4.7 to 3.8.......spend money on other mods!
so the 3.8kg kit not so good? im not sure bout clutchs and flywheels but wat would u recmmend for quicker reving and still suitable enough for daily driving?

Not that its no good, given that the EP3 already has a light flywheel, it wouldn't be as greater change to say a AUDM DC5R......

All I'm saying is, for the money you're likely to spend on the flywheel, is better spent or put towards other power productive items......

oh ok i get ya but my clutch is slipping alot so not sure if it needs a bleed or new clutch???

remember how u had ur skunk2 springs, could u send me a pic or ill give u my email, just wanna see how the height it cause atm coilovers = arm and leg for me

[k0e1]

ok finally decide to get the ku36 charging me 264 with fitting

If your clutch is slipping, I'd say you need a new clutch! Bleeding it may improve pedal movement but generally not fix a clutch! Dialy driving and part time racer....I'd opt for a Excedy Sports organic!

Pics for skunk spring.....I'll see if I can find some! It did sit very low and quite firm. I really miss my spoon springs, only problem was it only sat about 15-20mm lower than stock.

Good O, you'll love them! They'll take a few K's to wear in, so don't go nuts as soon as you get them!

dw i will. btw any1 here have a spare c clamp to adjust suspension that i cna borrow. i have tein coilovers here. PLZ !!!!!

Yep! I agree, you're correct. That's a much better diagram. Mine was just very rough to get the concept across :)
