I'm pretty sure they'd be the same, just Honda keeping tabs on what parts are being sold so the can start phasing it out!

This video of the S2K sounds amazing. Is it possible to make an EP3 sound like this? Or the K20 just cant make the sound a F20 can?

Hey guys

I have read in here that the EP3 uses oil. I have to top mine up like every 3 weeks ? Is this normal ?

Also I had a guy from work following me the other day said that there was a little bit 'o crap comming out the exhaust under heavy load. His words.

Once again is this normal or are they some deeper issues ya think ?

Also on the insurance thing I live in Townsville NQ and pay $680 for agreed value through Shannons. Age 36

Thanks again.

What weight and viscosity are you using? Perhaps your oil is a bit too thin?

Sometimes the car turns overnfirst click , sometimes nothing. Have to return the key and it will kick over. Apart from a loose ground or power to the starter - any ideas ?

23-09-2010, 08:19 PM

i tried on 17x8 +35 bc p1's and it fitted flush with the guard.
23-09-2010, 10:41 PM

so you think they'll fit nicely without a need for modifications?
23-09-2010, 11:03 PM

this was on stock height,didnt scrub against the gaurds and when i turn the wheel full rotation to left and then right was all good although i think could do with an inch lower on all corners. however i only had time to muck around with the front wheel and yeah 1-1.5cm roughly stuck out. wheel test!

26-09-2010, 12:27 PM

i dont think so, since 60rs is not that loud and 70rs is just a bit louder
26-09-2010, 01:18 PM
PeppeX

I dont really understand the video. It says idle, stationary and racing. Idle is just sitting there, stationary is reving engine to 5000rpm while sitting there, racing is? racing is while the car is moving?

For cars built before January 1983, the maximum noise level is 96 decibels and for newer cars the level is 90 decibels.

60RS is 94dB stationary so i think 70RS wont pass the test... lame :(

the 70rr is a straight pipe. 60rs is pretty loud already i reckon

yeh i think racing is the scene where they do a fly by on that road. when you get epa'ed dont they test dB at 4500rpm?
26-09-2010, 01:52 PM
JohnO

Oh man 70rr sounds so good :( an extra 50or so bucks off 60rs from jdmconcept. It's tempting
26-09-2010, 10:08 PM

whats the difference with the titanium and stainless steal js racing exhausts? do they sound different?
26-09-2010, 10:58 PM

that's what i'd like to know aswell, the price difference between the two is huge!
26-09-2010, 11:23 PM

Ok so, just gonna jump in, and looking for some advice from the wise ones.
Looking at going an all motor build and amassed a few parts, got lucky really...
anyway currently have an 02 Ep3 with minimum modifications
- 87mm 12.5:1 CR Ross Racing Pistons
- HKS 87mm head gasket
- HKS spark plugs
- Toda N1 Rods
- Supertech valve springs + retainers
- Brian Crower stage 3 cams
- Toda free adjusting cam gears

On the car
- 2.5" custom exhaust
- UR pulleys
- Gruppe M ram air intake

will be buying
- ARP head studs
- new bearings
- Hondata Kpro

thinking of also getting
- RBC or RRC IM
- Large TB
- Maybe Toda headers + zorst... (reason maybe is that there is minimal gain to be had with the upgrade of EP3 headers, or so i have heard)

1) have i missed anything?
2) Suggest a good builder?

cheers folks
27-09-2010, 08:32 AM
bennjamin

The standard ep3 header is less than ideal. Considering that you are trying to
Make the engine use as much air and timing and compression as possible - id def. Use a good proven aftermarket header. Why not 3 inch from collector back ?

I strongly suggest Adrian @ TODA AU for the build. Located in thornleigh Sydney and a trader on here. Great down to earth guy and fantastic to deal with.

Give him a call on 0401 869 524 tell Him bennjamin off ozhonda strongly recommends him :-)

Just a rant - my otherwise standard ep3r is hitting 375km per tank around town. No thrashing. V8 thirst with truck performance. Fantastic !

They do sound different. Personally I think TI sounds better than stainless.

I had a 50RS on my Jazz and my friend had a 304R on his Jazz. There's more drone coming from the stainless and it sounds somewhat more louder. Tbh the 304R sounds like any other cannon axle backs but that may just be me. Different people have preferences to their ears.

I'm averaging 450, with a deviation of 25,when the fuel warning light comes on. With mixed city/hwy driving/WOT

Don't know if this is a myth or not. Maybe full syn oil would offer better fuel economy?

2.5" was used by the previous owner of the car for ideal backpressure.
3" would be too loud but may resort to 3" piping ending in a smaller muffler to keep the noise down.

I did think of Toda, but because Adrian is so busy the build may take longer than i would like it to...

Castrol edge 5/50 I think it was, it was recommended in these forums some where for the EP3.

It is a lot hotter up here so please let me know if you think I should be using something different

Since you have everything, the turn time would be around 2~3 weeks depending on machining.
Can even do you a real good deal on an RRC & throw in a blue rocker cover too :p
But please, ask for a quote before you write us off on an assumption...
