I'm planning to add either one of those to my Euro in the near future. But before i do that, i'd like to hear some opinions first.

Headers v.s Pulleys - Pros and Cons. Tell me what you think! :thumbsup:
Header.
Pros: POWA in all rpm.
Cons: makes you wanna put the pedal down, hissing sound (for DC & DC copy & Maxims)
Pulleys.
Pros : POWA in all rpm range, better fuel consumption.
Cons : Same as header. Cannot use amps or subs unless if you upgrade the battery.
For a starter, I'd recommend the header. You will gain more when you get the complete setup (Intake and Exhaust). For the hissing sound, there is a thread about it.
if your looking for a value for money performance upgrade spend 700 or so and get a lightweight flywheel that'll do more than an I/H/E combined as it will the pulley.
if it has to be between those two though, get the header - there's been issues with the with the stock pulley belt losing tension or something (header seems the safer option)
agreed with chris_F
my next mod is the JDM DC5R flywheel. but personalyl i wanted to do I/H/E first then the flywheel
Does anyone know if there is a heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel combo available that is specifically for the
euro instead of having to go for the DC5 setup?
Well they are the same set up.....Quote:

I heard the area on the flywheel facing on the DC5R(where the clutch etc sits) is smaller/less than the Euro!Quote:

between these two... I will get pulley coz i get those hiss sound lol
Clutch and flywheel are the same for dc5 and euro or maybe even the new civic with K engine in. I personally wont go for JDM dc5r as I think aftermarket one are lighter and I will get clutch at the same time.
got any photos, pulleys and headers?
When you change to an aftermarket flywheel, you need to get a clutch that matches it as the size is different. I think it applies to the DC5 as well.Quote:
