EK VTIR upgrades

[alphabeatsco]

i have a full sports exhaust system now..apart from da headers..which i will be getting soon off a guy..he said it's apexi...4-2-1...
2nd hand.
dunno if it's good ..give suggestions..anyone got that one?

also after fitting headers..and i got intake system already.
would that help my performance? or do i need to tune it with some ECU or VAFC? or would it be fine..just let it stay without the computer tuning?

[OLM-02R]

how much u getting the header for ?? is the header off a b16a as well ??

yeah its fine you dont need to tune it...

but if u want more power from the header...u need some tunable computer to get the most out of it... good luck dud :thumbsup:

[alphabeatsco]

da guy is selling it for 450 2nd hand
been on da b16a for 1 1/2 year

so i dun need to tune?

[STOCK]

you wont need to tune it as the apexi header is a bolt on item designed to be used with factory ecu

[tanghy]

you wont' blow up the engine or anything if u run it with the stock ecu
but if budget allows, get a ecu which can be tuned to extract every kw out of the setup
(side note, make sure the tuner is good or he'll blow up the engine)

[Muckafutha]

hmmm....in my opinion u definitely should tune it. i got vafc and itc for sale cheep cheep

[civic_mods]

u will feel a good gain on top end after u drop the 4-2-1 in even without tuning it~

[type one]

yup agreed..no need to tune... but after a month or so your body will "learn" the mod and you will want to go faster.. in which case save up for a power FC.

id do flywheel and clutch before i did ecu....

[civic_mods]

OEM flywheel & clutch are actually quite strong with not much mods u had done,i will do ECU first,try those piggyback or Power FC,well worth ur $$

[tanghy]

i will do a final drive after your i/h/e

[Looneee]

Intake. Then work on a port matched Intake Manifold. At the end of the day it's all about the air flow path. But I do agree with the other aswell that an ECU will tune the air/fuel correctly to ensure your getting the right power out of your car.

[civic_mods]

maybe larger throttle body

[BlitZ]

yeah extractors are the next best mod.
you dont need an ECU.. you can get one if u think your gonna get further mods.
I have not ever heard of any ECU which nabbed power from the mentioned mods apart from hondata... dont know why.. (do a search)
You oem clutch would hold a car with the mods listed but a lightened fly wheels would be ok...

i would then attack valve train.. and change everything accordinly to budget and usuage and tune with ECU.

[tanghy]

actually how big is yr full exhaust system
