Thats without oil cooler installed. I'm also using that exact oil and weight; oil temp reading at the oil filter sandwich plate. I wanted an oil cooler cause i thought it was abit high as i do alot of highway driving and recently got a JRSC, but that means i'll also have to relocate my sensors for my oil temp and pressure gauge.Quote:

That's pretty cool temps imo.Quote:

The K20A has a small heat exchanger located at where the oil filter is mounted and cools the oil using the engine coolant. Therefore upgrading the radiator will help cool the oil indirectly although not any where as effective as a proper oil cooler.

Btw, have you sorted out the pressure drop from 28 to 21psi which you posted about sometime in 2012?
Yeah, I noticed last night driving and it was really cool and rainy and my oil temps were around 76 degrees on the highway at 3.7k rpms and even after doing lots hard runs and red line pulls it didn't even go over 80 degrees, usually it'll be around 85+. My coolant was also alot cooler at 60 degrees. Also recently installed an injen cai which sits behind the right the hole on the mugen lip and did the throttle body coolant bypass to reduce the IATs. haha im keen for winterQuote:

60c for water temp is pretty cold haha. Not sure if that' ok or not because as far as I know ideally it should be sitting around 80-90c for operating temp.
Would you have an aftermarket thermostat installed by any chance?
Any of you EP3 boys got a spare flywheel?
Nah oem thermostat, on idle it goes up to 80-85 degrees, it was a really cold and rainy day so that might have cooled the aluminum radiator a lot maybe
Has anyone tried mounting something similar to a STI vlip on ep3 under mugen lip? rather scrape up a cheap abs plastic lip than cracking the fibreglass mugen. dont want to use that tacky garage door seal shit
strong logic in this one
Just rivet some aluminum sheets under it as a scuff plate hahaQuote:

Anyone know if s2000 injectors fit the k20? Injector dynamics and deatchwerks have them as the same part no
Hi guys...can anyone confirm if our abs module has a bleeder valve?
Ive recently just started putting my car back together after 6 months of being off the road getting built and Im in the process of bleeding my brakes.
From what I've read, most abs pump module has bleed valve on it but from what the US site mention...98 and up integras and civics dont have a bleeder valve.
If thats true....then do I just bleed it as per normal?
Ive got the oem one at home I think...I dont think ive thrown it out yet.Quote:

Has anyone ever encountered this sound? If so, what was making the sound? Thanks in advance :)
Fuel economy is out the window mate. Thanks for the heads up on the wiring though, I'll check that first.Quote:

Mugen mounts for $330aud deliver. That's good!
Are you on stock or aftermarket suspension? I'd have a poke around and check for leaks, split boots, the condition of your trailing arm, tie rods and swaybar bushings. Maybe try lift the car up in the air and see if you can simulate the sound by moving the wheel in different directionsQuote:

rhd is very fast, should be like a week or so
Yup rhd was pretty quick. I wanted close to stock as possible so went mugen.
Anyone got one of these? Its Broadway 300mm convex wide rear view mirror. Any feedback? I've purchased yesterday so waiting for it to arrive
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=171178552326
300mm perfect size for ep3, can still use both sun visors. I got the flat one, pretty useless lolol all i can see extra is the pillars. recaros would still block the rear quarter windows even if it was wider :confused:

Get a wink mirror and you'll never have to worry again lol
Wink mirrors are crazy big.. A bit too much if u ask me :)
Just wondering, what kind of times have you guys gotten at Winton?
Also has anyone tried RE050A's at the tracks? Any good?
EP3's at winton are starting at 1:40.xx and slower from there
I'm on stock suspension at the moment. I'll have to give those a try on a hoist one day. Thanks!Quote:

tegiwaimports was cheapest for the fuel filter. i think was like 20 or 30 delivered a few months ago. otherwise get jesse streeter hook you up from honda jp
Cheers, Tegiwa only sells the fuel vapour filter. I'm actually after the fuel pump pre filter, it's like this sock cloth thing lol upgrading to a bigger fuel pump but for some reason it didn't come with a new filter..Quote:

You can see everything including blindspots (recaro's aren't blocking)... haven't used it on the road yet, but it'll probably take some getting used to considering images are closer than they really are.Quote:

tbh i think i preferred the sound of my injen over my gruppe
probs just time for a louder exhaust now
Is there a way to check the MIN and MAX level of the coolant overflow reservoir? Only way i can check coolant is using a flash light placed on the bottle at the bottom front grill but still cant tell the levels
It's a pain but u can actually see the min and max levels with flash light right down where the bottle is. The max is fairly low down so don't fill it past the neck of the bottle.Quote:

K-Tuned Billet Shifter Cable Bushings For OEM Cables
is it worth the $54?
did you feel any improvements in the car, in terms of just feel?
You probably won't notice a big difference but when paired with solid base bushings, shifting feels a lot more solid and positive, I feel alot more confident shifting without worrying about it bouncqing back or grindingQuote:

because sometimes when i change gears, it just feels very mushy and spongy.
i only just recently changed my into hasport mouths for my car and changing gears went from ok to heaps better.. and if the billit shitfer cable bushing will improve the gear changing, even tho if just slightly...
then i guess ill get it
Should look into the neuspeed/tegiwa short shifter adapter and solid shifter base bushings. Rifle bolt action yoQuote:

Been using valvoline synpower 5w 40, but on my last oil change I decided to give Penrite hpr5 a go, so far no problems, runs pretty smooth and cheaper toQuote:

Tbh RP is pretty overrated and exxy (~$100 for 5L) and h-tech (~$60 for 5L is a good fully synthetic (NOT A GROUP 3 - was speaking to motul rep at work).
Sadly h-tech only comes in 5L and the ep3 takes ~5.5L haha
I've got gauges so I'll report any noticeable differences between the two on my next track day next sat
My EP3 is getting pretty rough torque steer, shaking left to right when on full throttle.... Any suggestions what could be the problem? (Tires? Camber?)
what size wheels and tyres and how recent was last alignment?
Think it could be caused by balancing problems tooQuote:

Got wheel alignment as soon as these wheels went on.
Bump steer is also pretty rough...
Maybe I need the same sized tyres all around?
whats your steering rack angle like? if youre lowered and running -1.5, and rack may be angled like a knt it might be whats exacerbating bump/torque steer that youre feeling. ep3 got no torque tho lul
simple but did u check tyre pressures and wheels balanced
I'm running Todd's Tie Rods and their toe adjustable so I don't think the steering rack is the problem. My tyre pressure is at 40 psi all around but I'll be sure to go get a wheel balance check.Quote:

yeah should've mentioned i've got a biger oil filter on it
to be more precise i think it's more around ~5.3L
Found out my front tyres are worned out! What are some grippy street tyres to run on 17x9?
Apprently federal rsr are good tyres for the price, i might be trying these soonQuote:

Bit of a crazy stretch to have 215/45 on 17x9?
Dont waste your time with 595rsr. Just spend the little extra and get some ad08r or r1r
why not go 245/40. waste of a wide wheel to put on skinny dik tyresQuote:
