According to wiki these are the specs

2001-2005 JDM Honda Civic Type-R (EP3)
- 1,998 cc (1.998 L; 121.9 cu in), 215 PS (158 kW; 212 hp) @8000, 200 N·m (150 lb·ft) @7000:

2001-2007 JDM Honda Integra Type-R (DC5)
1,998 cc (1.998 L; 121.9 cu in), 220 PS (160 kW; 220 hp) @8000, 206 N·m (152 lb·ft) @7000:

Wiki also had another table

I tried to match up the specs of the DC5R and EP3R engine to find the redline, rev limiter and vtec engagement of the two.

So can someone just confirm whats the redline, rev limiter and vtec engagement of an EP3R.

I think the difference is the ECU but the engine is the same.

can the ecu's be reflashed M@lew?

anyone know this guy with this EP3R?

if you guys have the time, if you could check your boots under the spare tyre and see if theres a puddle of water.

much appreciated!

did a quick search but couldn't find a definitive answer. which plugs suit the ep3r?

can I use a ngk iridium: BKR7EIX
or do I need the ones with a 1.1 gapping: BKR7EIX-11
I was also recommended to get the ZFR6FIX-11

I have a spare set of the BKR7EIX (with standard gapping) its not listed on the box or the ngk site, i'll have to measure it and check. Just seeing if I can use them or should I just buy some new ones with the correct gapping?

wet sand it down.

I've dried out my boot and will wait and see if it happens again. Couple of rainy days coming anyway :)
