[NightRyder]

You've checked that all the plugs and cables are connected back where they are, too?

check if the grounding cable screwed in (the one you relocate when installing the cai)

[white_ep3_civic]

These problems only started 2 happen after the oem air box went back on. I've checked all the grounding cables. It's weird that only the left side of the car is doin it. Which is the side the cai was on

[JohnO]

hey guys um question cause im a big noob. ok so gruppe m intake for our car does it need the scoop at the top or will it still suck air w/o the scoop that is bolted to your scuttle ??

[SuperSteve]

[ITRDC2]

[mizone]

[JohnO]

quick question since you guys are talkin about brakes. jdm dc2r,dc5r got brembos notsure on ek9 but how come ep3 didnt get brembos since it is a type r? apart from built in uk -> japan for lsd+recaros

[SuperSteve]

ask nepolian about painting brakes :D:D

I think just to cut cost, if the ep3's came stock brembo's it will be the best.

[Twest]

ask nepolian about painting brakes :D:D

I painted my brakes...but i made a mistake with the colour. I did the Honda Badge Red instead of brembo red, it doesn't stand out as much as the Brembo Red, still looks nice though.

Hey, you guys in Melbourne, where abouts is the Grand Hyatt Hotel?...is it near the CBD?...do you guys know any accommodation places that are within the CBD and shopping and if possible, close to the Grand Hyatt that are cheap? :)

[JohnO]

would be the bomb if they had brembos+slotted rotors :D

Hey, you guys in Melbourne, where abouts is the Grand Hyatt Hotel?...is it near the CBD?...do you guys know any accommodation places that are within the CBD and shopping and if possible, close to the Grand Hyatt that are cheap? :)

I would like to know too! Me and a few mates were talking about Grand Hyatt Hotel. I think it is in the CBD. Going there April 1...

[mtonep3]

Grand Hyatt is in the middle of the CBD, (Collins. St)
collins st is where all da Tiffany, gucci, Chanel, LV is at.
theres shopping places like myer, Melbourne Central, or if u want to travel, can go to Chadston, i think theres a free bus to Chadston on swanston st. but nothing really cheap compare to Sydney. Grand Hyatt is quite expensive. Have a look at hotelclub.com.au , they got really good deals.

[Twest]

LOL i take some tommorow princess perry.

[mtonep3]

Oh and i think EP3R didnt get the brembo brake kit, because (my guess) that the EP3 was designed as a cheaper type-R compared with the DC5R. so they needed to cut cost, anyway
does anyone know if DC5R brembo brake kit would fit on our EP3Rs, and would it give the +10 offset (i think)????

[ITRDC2]

not worth to get brembo imo,and as i know jdm dc5r can run +50

[JohnO]

oem it is! just repaint it red cause its faded =[

[Twest]

Anyone seen this intake for ep3?

No worries u gonna flush mount ur tweeters?

[Antv]

probably not. cause if i get 2 way component splits i would not want to mount the tweeters anywhere cause i would have to drill a hole lol. i could just go for coaxials with the tweeter sitting on the speaker but obviously it wont sound as good.

Yeh you could. Are you going to run an amp?

[Antv]

Yeh you could. Are you going to run an amp?

how can that be done? i think some people mount them on the air vents on the dash and use tape or something to stick them in place. Yeah the front speakers will run off an amp while the rear stock speakers will run off headunit.

im not going to get a sub so im just hoping i'll get decent bass from speakers themselves.

Yeh either double sided tape or screw them in. But tape probably the best option.

Got the EP3 about 6 months ago. Absolutely love it! Regarding the scuttle piece (or whatever its called), I dont have a stock piece to replace it with so to be honest i am not sure if I can sell it. If I can get a stock one I will sell the aftermarket one.

Do these cars have cruise control?

If not, has anyone on here fitted/had one fitted?

If you have, what brand?

what headers do you guys have?

and what do they give i.e. low end/high end torque etc :D

im tossing up between buddyclub or j's racing headers

was looking at this thread
http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=634406
but they dont give much info on anything...its mostly a list of what you can choose from.

[Philip Lee]

with JDM stuff, most people run Toda. a few people have Spoon and J's and the baller ones have Maxim Works lol

some ppl run T1R, DC sports etc but not much info on JDM EP3.

depends on the design, it think most give improved mid range. u'll probably have much better result with catback + retune.

[Perry]

I'll toda but J's catless headers is tempting but its going to be loud.

[pair08]

just purchased some kiddracing header, willing to give them a go! I'll let you know how they go :D

stock front has very little camber but rear has some.

and rear can fit more aggressive offset than the front as it has lots more space. u can roll the rear guard but u can't for the front. this is my personal experience.

You dont have to have a ECU changing headers, exhaust, intake.

kk's at livo ??

[Philip Lee]

Serious u can rolll the front guards?

there isn't a metal lip at the front to roll like the rearl. u'll need to take the plastic guard off or cut some of it.



Did you guys need to get an aftermarket ecu when you got aftermarket headers?

if i have spent the $$ on intake, header and catback, i'll invest on a ECU for maximum gain for the setup.

but to answer you question, you don't need to.

Mines dead quiet at idle and under 3k's, but above it starts screaming. Problem is during cold starts it is quite noisy, only after a few minutes does it become quiet, do you get that too?

Anyone has a copy of Hyper Rev for EP3's that I can borrow?

[Philip Lee]

i have but u're too far away to let you borrow hahahahhaa

what are u looking for? unfortunately EP3 was not too popular so there are not a lot of stuff about it in Hyper Rev. they pretty much jumped straight from EK to FD. pretty sad really.

[Perry]

Nothing just parts in general see what they offer which issue do you have I noticed there are 2 issues on ep3's when I was at the book shop dont know if there is anything different in the 2 issues.

[Philip Lee]

i think i have 3 issues. 1 when EP was launched, 1 when FL was out and 1 for FD.

to be honest, quite disappointed with the amount of EP content.

[Perry]

Really *Sigh* - I guess I should do some research from people in the states on our cars than
George we should combine our ED for sale thread.

[Philip Lee]

yeah even JDM parts are quite limited for EP3 as opposed to DC5.

[Perry]

Wish Spoon continued on developing parts for EP3's.

[Philip Lee]

yeah but what type of stuff are you looking for?

if it's engine stuff then they're similar if not identical to DC5. brakes and stuff are similar as well. they did exhaust but no body kit like the FD2.

however if u look closely, it seems Spoon developed DC/EK and FD but didn't go as far for DC5/EP3.

it was left to shops like 3Q Racing (http://www.dezabow.com/39) who kept on working on the EP3 when Mugen/Spoon/J's lost interest.

[wtfhax]

I think it's because the DC5 was not designed to be a "race spec" car and the EP3 was a "foreign" car to them (Japanese). So the JDM motor tuners would only dedicate their R&D into the race bred and home-grown JDM Honda's, respectively. :)

[mtonep3]

I heard from someone I met in hong kong who is a tuner and races in Macau that ep3s aren't as popular then dc5 because the dc5 has less body roll compared with ep3.

[Philip Lee]

Although EK9 is a CTR, it enjoyed fantastic support becos it has a 1.6 engine. Which race in a diff class to the 1.8 DC2 ITR. So tuners supported both.

While EP3 has the same engine, gearbox and virtually identical chassis to the DC5. So it is kinda silly developing both. IMHO the height diff won't effect cog significant but I'd think DC5 has better aero. When Mugen races and develop DC5, it would obviously became the choice of racing teams.

[Rai-C]

we had a few runs, i get him on a run from standstill, but on a rolling start, his F20C's high-end gets me..

[Malenic1981]

To get get good take off you need to ride a clutch a bit, and RX8 has no chance with EP3, same as 350Z and S2000, this is proven hehe

never heard the 5zigen but the mugen twin loop sounds awesome!!!

Toda or Fujitsubo RM01 or J's Racing are good alternative.

personally i have a spoon street and it sounds quite until it hits vtec.

Sorry for being such a block head at this but whats a twin loop? I'll check out the other 2 kits and I'll see which ones the best. My main issue is performance though, I dont really mind what the car sounds like. The quiter the better so I dont get cops tickling my asshole.

this is a twin loop. notice the extra pipe around the muffler.

[Malenic1981]

RM01A is not loud, when you hit high revs it is but still not too much, I went pass cops lots of times and they never even gave me a look, it's also 2.5" so there are power gains as well

mugen twin loop exhaust mugen air box 127.9 kw

[Malenic1981]

not too bad, I got 130KW/175hp (on very hot day) with rm01, gruppeM and apexi vafc2, they recon on cooler day I could've hit 180hp (I think it's 135KW), gruppeM is the best when it comes to air intakes

does anyone have a stock ecu the can sell or lend me for about 2 months happy to pay for the lend or buy out right.. selling my mugen n1 ecu need a replacement till i get my kpro
