Ben.....its about 52mm, so yeah about 2 inches give or take. Its the headers which chokes the engine......
good luck and good bye, everyone drive safe and dont waste to much money on your build in out.
regards brad
so the oe headers restrict flow? can you get like other headers and still use th oe cat? eg toda headers or whatever?
i dunno, ive heard that jdm headers arent to bad, first mods u would do are intake then catback then headers
yeap first mod definately the intake u will definately feel the difference !Quote:

Quick question, is the engine check light suppose to come on before we start the engine? I noticed mine never comes on before ignition which seemed strange. I have a feeling my engine check light has failed. If was to be the case, does anyone know how to replace the engine check light bulb?
Dude! I gained 5kw from Adrian installing nothing more than a DC5 intake tube..Quote:

Yea that's what I thought which is why I found it strange.Quote:

To make matters more frustrating for me, I've plugged in my Greddy infometer and it tells me I got one 1 error code ( but doesn't state what it is). The infometer couldn't show signal for the o2 sensor and give af ratio. From I am also speculating that it is probably my O2 sensor that has failed. I remember p3p5y posted several hundred of pages back on this thread that he had the engine check light problem and it also came down to his primary o2 sensor.
I'll be contacting my mechanic to see if he can find what the problem is.
they are 4200k, But the highest replacement d2r globe i've seen is 6000k.Quote:

whats the best intake you'd recommend?
also out of all the EP3s i test drove the one i bought is the only one that i saw have the mugen tag in bedded in the dash near the gearbox..
most people would say gruppeM. that would most likely be just some aftermarkter mugen logo bling unless yours was ep3 built by mugen themselves :D
dude i think it was because it's not a sticker it's built in the dash solid like engraved.. I flipped when i saw it and i think the car was chipped. when i test drove it first time it hit 110 before it red lined the guy was like "Faaarrkk now i know why you want one of these.." i flipped too but it took him over a month to get it complied and once i did get it back it didn't go as hard.. i bet it had a mugen chip. I'm looking at getting it remapped but no1 can help due to mugen being hard to source and import when your in AUS.. not to mention expensive.. dam!
yeah most seem to have the gruppeM intake.. intake is first on my list.. hope Santa can help out :]
110 in 1st gear before redline? thats crazy
maybe it was demodded to comply or the fact that japan has higher octane fuel....i have no idea lol. maybe someone else has something to say :)
Personally i'd get Injen and save the money for a cat back.
hahah I'm an idiot i should of been more specific.. I mean 110 in 2nd gear before it red lined.. hahahah
yeah i think it was taken down to comply.. kind of spewing about that..
Undo the glove box and look at the damn ECU.
Mugen ECU is not for street use anyway. just get a Hondata when u have done I/H/E.
I dont know about doing anything to the exhaust.. I'm just getting into all this car talk I've been mostly a ball player and gamer all my life.. when you mention cat back does that mean moding up your exhaust right? if so all the modded EP3s i drove with after market exhausts were loud as hell.. annoyed the hell out of me and i couldn't hear the V-Tec screamm..
so your saying better save the money to get a better cat back for more KW?
I got a gruppe m, it left a hole in my arm. sound great though, injen wouldve given the same performance and all but i was too pussy to cut things. catback is exhaust to the cat converter, man you hear the vtec crossover with anything its not hard to notice anyways. Show us a picture of that mugen thing on the dash.
Philip you've totally lost me but once I finish work I'll look it up. I couldn't get much from Google about I/H/E.
whats that stand for?
I've made that mugen symbol as my profile pic but it's not coming up.. I guess coz I'm a newcomer..
aiight that's the symbol near the gearbox.
can any1 see my profile pic? I dont think it's showing up
there are some cat back exhaust that are not too loud. i have spoon street one which is very quiet at idle and sounds good when vtec. i heard RM01A are not too loud as well.Quote:

it's not too hard to install the injen and there is only a few plastic trim that need cutting. just seal up wiht duct tape after you have finished installing the CAI.
I - intake
H - header
E - exhaust
cheers philip.. I'll start doing some more research and learning a bit more about it.
gruppem don't cost 1.2k now, does it?
I just checked xposed's shop and it cost $981. But still dear and the filters cost $240 when replacement is required. They don't last forever, they only last for a number of washes and mileage.

I/H/E = intake, headers, exhaust.Quote:

It's a K&N alright but it's exclusive to gruppem.
sweet but expensive.. my budget for a intake is 1k.. so i was expecting to pay that much.. cheers mate..
Maybe you can ask one of the ep3 guys to show you the gruppem in the next sydney meet.
good to know the price is dropped. but then u would want to get the silicon intake hose as well.Quote:

i found the mugen intake but i can't find a picture of how it would be places.
I've made an inquiry about if the batt needs to be relocated..
yeah password JDM.
mugen takes over the stock airbox space.
got a Ms racing on mine. Pretty cool. Different. Snorkel .
would anyone happen to know the australian price value for PFL fog lights? Trying to bid for them on ebay and not sure how high i should go.
theres a meet tonight at officeworks whethrill park at 8pm i might be there for a short period, if you want i'll show you my gruppe m, btw any ep3 owners coming i dont want to be the only one.
See you there tonight Johno.
I got another friend who just bought an ep as well that's coming along. He got some mugen goodies.
lol
hmmm i should go ! i might meet yas there :D
anyone know if DC5S seats bolts onto our rails?
I want to use it for daily and don't want to ruin the nice recaros

Also does anyone know if the dc5 tie rod ends and the ep3 tie rod ends are the same? dc5/ep3 coilovers are interchangeable so should the tie rods also be?
They are different. Not interchangable.
Need to run DC5 tie rod ends. Easy fix would be to run DC5 inverted tie rods :)
Could you guys read the last post and tell me what he is saying? Because I think I've misinterpreted.
http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/sh...Ends-group-buy
Im sure he is saying they fit, sigh....
whos running a VERY slight drop on here?
I CBF'd running bouncy coilovers. I just want a tiny drop and alittle firmer......
The shift ep was running a 1" drop in the rear and 1.5" in the front with the stock coils, he sent them to the UK if I remember correctly and he said it handled much better than if he had changed the whole coilover and it cost him around $400 or something like that.Quote:

I'm running tein springs atm.....as good as my spoons. About 1 inch drop all round.Quote:

i left work early today cause I've got as cold.. lets us know of the next meet I'm keen to check out some of these mods see how they fit and compare.. and btw f the cops man.. they always ruin everything except for this one guy at quakers who let me off speeding against a supra and SSS Pulsar.. what a champ.. he understood.. I must admit when i first got my EP i was an idiot, I soon toned it down and had some more respect..
5 days old.. nice Tony.. congrats champ.. i know the feeling once you get one your loving it..
Yep. I showed him mine and he was in love. Lol
Btw for the meet I only saw one other ep with black plates beginning with NA. Who is that here?
all i know is a chick was driving that.

That is, they could still defect you with a mugen box.
I think I remember reading a thread here or jdmst that a member had been defected for the mugen airbox as well. It was an outrage when I first read about it.
