[JDM EM1]

hey guys, quick question someone wants to swap my thier 02 cw ep3r for my friends s2000?
the car has purple standard rims, anyone here own it? or used to own it?

not sure if its worth the swap, let me know what you think. thanks

[Blackep3]

I pay $1400 sux

Dudes I'm payin only $1100 for mine

[PeppeX]

Dudes I'm payin only $1100 for mine

Who with? How old are you?

[RPS.13]

I'm paying $1157, in melb though.

Full comp, through Shannons... 28 yrs young...

[Blackep3]

Who with? How old are you?

I'm 28, full comp insurance with justcar, plus I added more to my excess, that way it drops the premium. I could have payed like $1037, but I didn't want my excess to be $1700

I got a quote from shannons and they didn't know the type of car it is,

[Poeter]

Depends on suburb too. I live in a dodgy area too. Have my younger bro on it too. He's turning 21.

Lol it turned out cheaper with my bro on it because my driving history is so bad.:(

[Blackep3]

Ah ok, I live in a dogy area also, and they still gave me a good price

[Nepolian]

All you dodgy people from dodgy areas :\

[Lukezen27]

GUYS

need photos of under the stock bumper ASAP

Just dropped my car off at the repairers again but the fools don't know what there missing...


Need a photo of the weather guards, the rubber strip and anything else that might be missing

PS don't worry about those commoners George, there a long way from us :)

Thanks heaps

[spookz]

Mine never came with the rubber strip. Hmmm..

[Nepolian]

Mine never came with the rubber strip. Hmmm..

Quite common as they get let off from repairs or they get torn off.

[stienerv2]

Mine never came with the rubber strip. Hmmm..

Yeah dont worry about it, your car is lowered too so its gonna come off sooner or later lol.

[flubbar]

yea....mine's half on half off. have to tuck it back in everytime it pops off and i keep forgetting to ask my mechanic to fix it.

[Symphorced]

Hey guys, what battery is everyone running? Mine's started leaking battery acid and has corroded the shit out of my battery tie down bar. :p

[PeppeX]

Looking for some rims atm. Found some evo 8 enkei 17x8 +38 with 235/45/17 tyres. From reading on a few forums people say you can run them on stock suspension if the tyres are 215/45/17.

What do I need to do to make the 235/45/17 tyres fit? I really prefer not to roll my guards. Do I only need to get a camber kit?

If I get coilovers (lower the car) will i definitely need to roll my guards?

[tunacnt]

Bit off topic but anyone know what ill get for getting caught 54kmph over on freeway?

I'm in Melbourne.

[Nepolian]

PepX you should get away with it on stock sussy. Tyres are only 20mm wider as a whole and rims will stick about 15mm ish . If lowered u may need a little camber but stll think u may get away with it. Why not use the 215's you have?

Btw....your speed will also increase as those Tyres are bigger.

[Nepolian]

Bit off topic but anyone know what ill get for getting caught 54kmph over on freeway?

At that speed, I'm guessing you'd be going to court for it...

On stock sussy, you will scrub the rear going over speedhumps and hard cornering, and it will obviously be worse if you have passengers in the back. Its easier to just roll the rear guards.

And if you're going to lower the car then you will definitely need to roll the guards.

[Philip Lee]

EVO 8 wheels will look awesome especially if you painted them in black. and yes 215 would be the best size.

I'm currently running a 16x8 +38, 205/50/16... which sat pretty flush with the guards at stock height. Fronts stick out slightly more than the rear. No scrubbing, at stock height. Put in my coilovers recently, still no scrubbing. Not over low though, if I am to go lower... I will need to roll the rears, to keep camber at a respectable level.

With a 235, I'm pretty sure it will scrub on the rear lip, if not rolled. Also inner clearence to the rear swing arm might be an issue. I looked at mine recently and there's no much clearence there.

I found a whole thread dedicated to EP3 with evo 8 enkei rims. http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=205779

I didn't end up getting the rims because I want some ultralight regamaster like perry :).

I just want to confirm coilovers such as Tein SS and Buddy Club N+ have camber plates which can adjust camber slightly?

What is the max negative camber good for daily driving and not have noticeable wear on the inner part of the tyre?

[Nepolian]

BC N+ dont have camber plates. 1-1.5 is max for road. Anymore and you'll start noticing camber wear.

[PeppeX]

Oh ok, I didn't really want BC N+ anyway feel a little harsh for sydney roads from riding in perry's car :P.

Are the BC Racing BR coilovers any good? http://www.bc-racing.com.au/br-series-coilovers.html

You'll find that any coil over will be harsh on the road. Just some harder than others!

[Poeter]

Neoplian is right. Even my super street are more harsh than OEM. SS are supposedly the entry level coils. I can't imagine how monoflex feels like LMAO.

[JohnO]

guys my mounts are in its early stages of cracking, driver and front. also driver side lca bushing do i just call up honda for a replacement but say its for a dc5r??

But the Tein SS are reasonable on sydney roads?

[blk_shadow]

you would need to supply ur JDM VIN to Honda dealer and they can inquire it to Honda Australia using their import catalogue

really?? thats bad, try to go to another dealer. If i still work at Honda, i can find out the part number for you. I have other part numbers, but just not the bushings.

maybe the guy there is new, and dunno what to do. ask him to go to Hondaweb and post an enquiry under 'import enquiry' and type in the VIn (in your case its EP3-xxxxx) and part description and quantity. and they will get back to him with the part number, price and availabilty.

i'll just it through jdmyard, got quoted 165 for the set so it seems reasonable

I just installed my FUJITA CAI last night :). I think I have fallen in love again :).

But I think I cut the hole in the fender a little bit too big.... Water can splash onto the filter.... Can you guys post some photos of what your CAI look like.

Also do you guys know any EP3 wrecked so maybe I can get another front left fender plastic wheel arch thing?

I did the same when installing my Injen and the holes quite big but no water has ever hit the pod

Its probably around half the size of A4 page (A5 size). But I wouldn't have been able to fit the pod without cutting that big because the back section (bottom of the filter, plastic part) is sticking into the wheel arch by like 1cm.

I've attached a sheet of plastic to cover the hole.

How big is your hole?

get some new shoes! that was my plan till I got mounts to fix and bushings to replace and some dre beats earphones. =(

btw guys 165 for a set of lca bushings is reasonably priced right?

[PeppeX]

Nah don't think i will get an ECU anytime soon. I don't even have headers yet.

I was thinking about getting rims but.... i want 17x8 so i need a camber kit. How much are camber kits for EP3? Should I just go for coilovers with camber adjustment?

[Philip Lee]

Re Fujita, just use duct tape to tape over the holes. I used this for the 3 years I had the car and it was still nice and tight when I took them off to take out the CAI. Get the heavy duty ones at bunnings.

geez, so there is a crossover? standard. i ripped first and second. no different note.

low oil not VTec baby

[will13]

should be, let it warm up properly then try again lol

hopefully, he just brought it and i told him crossover should be decent, my pervious dc5r stock with just injen screamed.
if we cant notice it. what other problems will we be facing?
will test tomorrow and let you know. thanks fellas.

[PeppeX]

Do any of you guys know if dedy at top one puts in full synthetic oil when servicing? I think he put in some valvoline 15w30.

Checked my oil today and it was down to half way so i thought i should probably top it up.

What oil should i use to top it up?

[Jibz]

Interesting Lukezen, coz my car made 144.9KW on a hub dyno with I/H/E, and was faster than a kpro tuned dc5 (jdm engine) with basically the same I/H/E parts.

I'm wondering if my car has some mild cams done by the previous owner in Japan.

maybe the solenoid? when i had my ep3 it was a pretty noticeable difference well maybe because it was my first car, intake just gave it a better note. was the car warm when you gave it?

[Jibz]

Your car would scream because of the intake. With a stock airbox you won't hear anything though you WILL feel the torque pick up.

well fitment for 8.5 +30 looks flush on a dc5 but will poke abit with the ep which was pretty nice.

[Importsneezer]

yeh man car was warmed up, didnt check the oil levels till today so im hoping it was just the low oil. tbh i didnt feel much differences, besides maybe abit quicker on the revs till 8100.but yeh no noticable crossover.

[Importsneezer]

jibz- so there is no sound difference.

is there a crossover sound on a jdm k20a?. abit confused now.

[Symphorced]

Hmm.. I got 152.3kw on a hubcentric dyno with just GruppeM and a tune (if you can call it that) on a VAFC2.

Symphorced --- I have tuned a couple of ep3 on the dyno and your reading is very good. Congrats on a good tune.

What oil should i use to top it up?

How many kilometres has it done and how often do you vtec it? It also seems like your burning quite a lot of oil, so for maybe next service go for a slightly higher grade. I normally use full syn 5w30 and my car barely burns any oil. Check what type of oil it is before you top it up, like if its full, semi or mineral base oil.

[mao]

Would recommend the new Cusco Engine oil Fully synthetic 5w-40. Will post up the Apexi AFC Neo tune as well using the same oil tomorrow. Have to get to work tomorrow and print out from the Dynapack CPU.

[Jibz]

Ok, so maybe I don't have cams :P, perhaps a REALLY healthy engine? will see when the Kpro goes in. Just felt there must be something different because when dragging other EP3's/DC5's I'm usually quite a lot faster with similar or (supposedly) less mods.

[Jibz]

All EP3's are JDM K20A here. Honda did a good job on engineering the airbox's resonance chambers to silence the intake sound. you can try a Hondata airbox mod to see if that makes it a bit louder (involves cutting the main partition of the airbox to make one large chamber instead of two). Otherwise, going with a Injen will be guaranteed loud cross over.

Hey PeppeX did you find the answer to this? I'm also wondering...

[Poeter]

Hey PeppeX did you find the answer to this? I'm also wondering...

If you are going to top up, you must top it up with the EXACT same oil. You can't mix oil brand or oil with different viscosity. Reason for that is because different oil have different additives and the effects of mixing them is unknown.

How many kms have you travelled since your last service with dedy?

hey ben how'd you go on the track?

[Nepolian]

I'd doubt mugen spoon would use anything other than remodelled exedy parts. Then whack a hefty price tag on it. Most of us choose exedy sport cause it does the job at a decent price.

[bennjamin]

I used ATS (Active Traction Service) metal single clutch and ATS 3.6kg carbon coated flywheel. Very2 good! increase in performance can really be felt (driven by some other guys as well)

And now using it in my DC5R too.

Also had a dyno day bout 18mths ago at my dyno for the hondatech forum. not a single honda car passed the 180hp mark on the same dyno. Of course you can say environmental factors do come in.

Also please note: my Dynpack is newest one here in Western Australia.

Have fun debating!

How many kms have you travelled since your last service with dedy?

3000km. But heard VTEC does eat alot of oil. Maybe i should take my own oil next time or do you think valvoline at dedy is good enough? Maybe buy some off dedy to top off the oil inbetween services?

BTW i just installed my Fujita intake on sat night. I can definately hear when the VTEC crossover on the stock box.... The crossover with CAI sounds like a dump of air getting sucked into the engine, its like a 1 loud subwoofer DOOF! :)

What oil do you guys use in your EP3? Brand and viscosity?

[stienerv2]

First service = mobil 1 5w30. Second service = penrite enviro 5w30. Always full synthetic. Hondas new feo is also 5w30 full syn, so maybe some of you guys can try that.

[RPS.13]

castrol edge 5w30, two services done with it so far on the ep :thumbsup:

and seems like my oil burning has reduced a lot since my fresh spark plugs were put in the last oil change... 16 days since the oil/plug change and no drop in my oil level... prior to that I was topping up approx 200ml every few weeks.

[will13]

should I be using something slightly thicker at 100,000km? is 10w40 ok at this point?

[Nepolian]

10/30 is fine anything IMO!

[stienerv2]

Theres really no point to go to a higher grade unless your car is burning a lot of oil or if its leaking. You do get better protection but however it will make your engine work harder in the thicker oil. If you do plan to use thicker oil, never go over 10w40. In the castrol recommendation book, i say about 90% of toyotas and hondas ever use 10w40 and the highest viscosity they can will ever go is 15w40. So just stick with the viscosity that your car is use to and 100 000kms is really not that bad.

Hey guys wheres the best place to get a timing belt? And if i go to honda reckon its the same one as a dc5r?

if it is the drive belt, they look to be the same, but part number is different. safest option is to get the EP3's one.

[Symphorced]

Hey guys, for a full flush, how much MTF would I need?

Dealership is no help whatsoever. The guy asked for my VIN when I asked how much the MTF cost. :/

[Philip Lee]

drive belt is different between DC5 and EP3.

MTF i think you need 2 bottles and should not be more than $20 each.

[blk_shadow]

Hey guys, for a full flush, how much MTF would I need?

Dealership is no help whatsoever. The guy asked for my VIN when I asked how much the MTF cost. :/

for a drain and refill I usually get 3 bottles of MTF (2 and a half bottle ) and double that for a full flush.

[Poeter]

Weird. Drain and refill is just 2 bottles for me. Done it many times. Each bottle of MTF is 1L. Ep3 Service manual states 1.8L for a drain and refill.

I get my MTF for $15-16 per bottle. If dealer says otherwise just ask them price match it.

Labour only cost $30 from most mechanics.

Next time when you go into a dealer. Don't bother mentioning you have an import. They just give you a hard time, so you can get off their property.

[Poeter]

drive belt is different between DC5 and EP3.

I believe this is true because the DC5R runs hydraulic power steering pump and hence the belt should be longer than that of a ep3.

The ep3 just runs a small tensioner pulley in place of the missing hydraulic pump.

this man knows what he is talking about.

with oil etc, i always tell them i have a DC5R. and its always been 2 bottles of MTF for drain and refill and i have replaced twice. when doing flush, do you drain, then flush with new oil then refill? if that's they case u'll need more than 2 bottles.

Hey guys,

The CEL came on yesterday and I thought it was just the oxygen sensor...did the little paperclip pin thing and It came back with code 23 which is the Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction. Reset the ECU thinking it was just a one off thing...it came back on today. How can I check this problem? I can't take it to my mechanic due to the public holiday. Any advice?

[mao]

you got a open circuit on the knock sensor. check the pins to the knock sensor. remove the plug, check the connectors, spray a contact cleaner n replug in and reset. make sure connection is secure. Reset cel. if cel comes on again, chg the knock sensor.

Guys need a bit of help with my rear coilovers...?

I'm at a bit of a loss and cannot figure out why the left side is higher than the right... The left side I maxed out today, and it has a 1.5-2 finger gap between the guard and tyre. The right side still has about 25mm of thread to wind down, however this side has less than 1 finger gap. Coilovers: BC BR's base height adjustable.

Apart from adjusting the coilover height, am I missing something??? I checked, it doesn't look like anything is bent, not signs of rear end damage under the car...

[Nepolian]

Forget my post in your other thread.....check/adjust the preload spring height then just check how far out you are in the seat?.

Cheers thanks Nepolian! yeah I left the preload as set from the box... I'll recheck them when I rip them out next time.

Okay cool, i'll check them on the car. If that doesn't yield any result, then I'll flip them. Yeah the BC BR site says, their preload is set 5mm up from when the spring seat touches the spring.

Haha, do it... you know you want too! You don't need balls, more like half a brain... :p lol

This is what 17x7 +25 looks like lowered on BuddyClub N+ coilovers with negative camber dialled in. So 17x8 will look pretty much the same from the outside. There is no rubbing and scrubbing (though my rear guard has been rolled). Your RM01A must hang lower than the stock exhaust by quite a bit..

My wheels before I lowered it, 16x8 +38, 205/55/16... not rolled yet in the pic. No rubbing, even though the tyre is slightly taller.

http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt212/KAIZENRPS_13/IMG_6577.jpg?t=1304550568

The 17x8 +35 will sit 3mm further out... You should get away with a 215/45/17... try use your old tyres first, if your using a 215/45, should it rub then maybe drop to a 205/45, or roll your guards.

Currently using Castrol Edge 5w-30, previously used it all year round for about 3yrs on the 180sx...

You can also use the NGK Iridium IFR7G-11K, also saw someone using the BKR6EIX-11, you could also use the BKR7EIX-11

Thanks guys.

Yer havent got too much knowledge on oil haha, all I know is its better to run thinner in the winter. Thanks for the tips.

Anyone tried using NGK coppers. I tend to prefer coppers as you cant get a better spark from anything else.

Ross

[spookz]

I've just done my service with 5w30 Edge Sport. Plugs I'm using are NGK IFR7G-11KS.

I noticed the engine runs a lot quieter with the Edge Sport compared to whatever was in there previously.

[stienerv2]

I always thought iridiums can conduct the same as the copper plugs. Its just that the platinum plugs can not conduct the same as copper but they can last for quite a long time. Iridiums also have a similar life span to the platinum ones and should give out a spark similar to the copper ones.

[EP3TYPER]

From what I know copper has the best spark of all plugs.
Platinum and Iridium's have a longer life but do not create as much spark they are also more likely to foul. (Do not quote me)

Recycled compressed air from my backside seems to work well. The density of it contributes to stiffer side walls and helps a stock ep3 achieve sub 1.10 on wakefield.

[munkaii]

Is there that much variance in the type of compressor used to pump your tyres? Can someone explain the idea behind it, as it's a bit odd to think that where you inflate your tyres would have any significant impact on on-road performance (esp power figures on a dyno).

[Poeter]

LOL. I was thinking the same too.

Whatever they are pumping, it's still the same gas that we breathe from the air I believe.

[Nepolian]

No no no munki and the poiter....you have it way wrong. The air produced for special compressors, as mention give out much denser air (similar to the air super steve and I breath). Now without getting too tethnical, this special air will load the side walls of your tyres more hence more grip and will also keep air temps down.

I hope chubby steve will chime in as he was the master of this art. There was a rumor me cheated when obtaining a fast WSID run by tapping this air into the cai giving the car secret super powaaaa!

[munkaii]

Would like the hear the technical side of it, I'm just trying to get my head around it :). Just using what I learnt from uni..

If we assume that air is an ideal gas, and that you are trying to pump more dense air into the tyre.

P = density * R * T

Then more dense air implies that at a given pressure, you will keep temps down as you mentioned above.

By loading the sidewalls, do they flex more or less? (Don't know much about tyre deformation) I would think they flex less so that they can put power down better? Would you run any different tyre pressures given the more dense air?

Edit: Cooler Tyre Temp = Less elasticity in the side wall = Less Flex?

Or am I WAYYY OFF. Let me know! Would love to learn.

[Poeter]

Hmm I would had thought flexing of the sidewall will affect cornering more than just putting power on the ground.

[munkaii]

Maybe on launch when all the weight transfer goes towards the back, so the aim is to maintain a solid rear end to keep the front end down, hence allowing for greater front wheel grip. One way is obviously to have a firm suspension in the rear, so I assume having sidewalls that don't flex prevents the rear wheels from deforming too much, thus keeping front end down.

I'm sure there's a term for this but I don't know what it is lol.

Edit: This is all a stab in the dark until someone confirms hahaha. Just trying to reason. But yes, on circuit I would think sidewall flex would have a significantly greater influence.

[EP3TYPER]

I think you're getting too technical arent you, just fill it up with hydrogen if you want to be safe and you will be fine
