EP3 Type R

I realized that when I drive from a cold start, my car feels faster; especially when just on the fixing point it seems to roll faster but as soon as the temp goes higher and my engine begins to warm up, the car feels slower but mostly noticeable when rolling on the fixing point in gear one. Anyone have any idea what's going on with my car?

Hmm, possibly 02 sensor going bad.

When the engine is cold, it should run on open loop and rely on the ecu mapping and not the sensor. Once engine is warm, it runs closed loop for part throttle, and relies on the 02 sensor maintain stoichmetric Afr

thanks for the help, would you recommend changing the primary O2 sensor?

Probably ask a mechanics opinions first and if he also thinks its possible, probably should inspect it first as these sensors are not cheap

By fixing point do you mean clutch biting point? I thought on a cold start the car runs heaps richer and would be a little more responsive, and because your idle is higher on a cold start the biting point would be as if you're revving to move? ...if that makes sense

Question: anyone know if a KPRO made on a AUDM DC5 ecu would plug straight into the JDM EP3?

Ohh yeah I get it, thanks for the help, guess there isn't really any problem :P

Really starting to finish touching up the minor imperfections of my car, maybe ready for my first engine modification.

Already got Toda exhaust system up to cat, kind of on a low budget $300-$800, best bang for buck?

Suggestions please :)

Injen intake and some headers, PLM headers are good bang for buck

has anyone had a flat battery from not driving for a month?

i wanna know if its normal, and simply the immobiliser draining the power or if my batt is leaky. New batt as well

If you have your battery connected without driving for an extended period of time - it will drain.
