http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...20465498_n.jpgHi, I am new here.
I got 05 "EP look" EU3(5dr).
I ve done exhaust with Varex, intake with K&N 69series and lowered w/ King spring.
Can anyone advise me good mods for D17A1 in performance without adding turbo on?
I feel bit thirsty when I go harsh.
By the way, is ep3 rear splitter fit to eu3? I doubt about and has anyone done that?
Many thanks!!

performance without going turbo
go supercharger
hey bro i've got an 01' eu ..nice sunroof
eu looks pretty sick
what rims have u got on?
performance wise nothing really would change u'd had to put in a turbo for somewhat of a kick
u say ur engines a d17a1? pretty sure mine was d17a2 dunno what the differences would be
your model is pretty much identical to an ep3 so most exterior parts would fit just not the side skirts
damn you srs
wanna buy my ep3 instead? srs

Engine Mods - Wouldn't bother with anything other than slapping a turbo on it as the D17 will gain very little or if anything at all from I/H/E.
Exterior - as for the rear it may or may not fit from the EP ur gonna have to to a trial fitment or look at what some of the US people are doing. ive gone throught this for close to 5 years with the ES and ive found that close to half of the DC5 and EP3 parts fit the ES or EU u just need to look it up to make sure which parts will fit.
us parts wont fit properly for the ep like for example the front bar, theirs is longer than the jdm/uk/eu civics
Just out of curiousity could you chuck kpro on an eu3
Nope different engines man its only for k series motors
So only piggy backs then?
im not too sure with a d series motor, since you drive a euro a kpro is what you'll want when getting an ecu
Yer i may get kpro or flash pro(soon to be released)Quote:

like in the Pm i sent u with the boosted set up ull gain around 50kw+ to reach around 130atw
i recon just enjoy your car for what it is. a very (looks ****ing sweet man!) nice daily.
other than that, sell it and buy something fast from the get go.
imo.
Oh bro, thanks so much will be greatly helpful.Quote:

As I said I'm not sure how much of a difference this does.. and also probably cost a bit but that's a option you could try
Otherwise you could just stick to the cheaper simple mods intake header exhaust and possible basic tune ? Sadly the eu3 have very limited parts :( even coils are hard to find ..
