EP3 Type R

[keepitlow]

Hmm lately my car has been feeling sluggish, like it's lost power... Oil pressure is fine, I checked all hoses and they seem to be fine and tight.

I noticed it when going from a stop to 80km/h it seems like it takes forever (I usually shift at 3k rpm) unless I start hooning it up the revs through the gears. My clutch is fine, tested it out and it still grabs hard. It didn't used to feel like this... maybe i'm just getting used to it lol :/ Sometimes i get tailed from a stop by people behind me and even auto cars next to me were going past me without effort lol

Did you check your engine oil level.. make sure its not running low :P

oil level is fine, serviced it 1000kms ago, so its still nice and golden haha I guess i'm just starting to crave more power lol

what fuel do you guys use? i tried 98 last week, get around 420km a tank. This week trying 95 which is doing around 480km.

power wise it feels the same (i dont hit vtec all the time)

but i heard 98 is cleaner for the engine or is it just bs?

Some one correct me if Im wrong but being that the EP3 is tuned doesnt it need to use 98 only to avoid any issue with the engine and lower octane?

I've mostly used Caltex 98, only cause its usually on the way to where ever i'm heading so its a lil more convenient, and it does fine. I've tried BP but don't really notice the difference... I seldom use Shell V power cause I've heard it's all additives and not true 98.. :S

well thats gotta be a lie. v power is pretty much all i use and i dont notice any difference when i swap to ultimate or any other

Only BP is true 98

I believe Caltex 98 use's additives as well

[mocchi]

what does it mean true 98?

[JDM EP3]

what does it mean true 98?

They mean that the 98 octane rating is achieved from refining of the petrol instead of adding additives to increase octane. TBH I always loved optimax in my car tried caltex bp in the integra and just found shell to be the best power delivery out of the 3

Would anyone here be willing to part with there rear stock shocks, springs and top hats?
