EP3 Type R

If you're gonna use Hipower to do the mods for you, then its best to ask them....

Generally speaking;

Stock: 115-120kwatw

I/H/E: 125-130kwatw

Many brands out therein all three combos, but will all net you similar gains. Not gonna get into a brand battle here about which is best. You'd expect to spend anywhere between $2000-$4000 varying from used/new etc....

I/H/E KPRO/HALTEC: 130-140kwatw

Properly tuned and there is lots to gain mid range. $2000-$2500 depending on dealer/tuner, used/new etc....

CAMS: 140-150kwatw

Again, many brands to choose here. $1500-$3000 fitted. Some will need supporting mods like H/D tensioner, valve springs, retainers etc add $200-$1500 on top.

After this you'd be expecting to open the wallet for a build. Like a stroker kit, K24, turbo or supercharger. Argument is endless so don't start on whats best.

My best advice is work to a budget and with a builder/tuner or you may be very disappointed.

hehehe mods like them can cost u heaps of #### dollars

where is the noise coming from? are the bolts on the rails done up?

weekend riding , now just gotta get my p's its been nearly a year now on my l's...

[mattatnoosa]

new question!

I love my civic, but was passenger in an integra the other day and loved the feel of it, seats lower, better handling etc, im wondering, can we get custom seat rails? and how much of a distance does coilovers or a decent suspension set up make to the ep3? dc2r/dc5r comparable?

[JohnO]

Matt rps13 has a ep3 thread which he keeps updating and i recently saw him do a rail swap and it was a good 5cm drop which is pretty lowwwww, its in the introductory forum. The suspension is pretty good i reckon from factory, the dc2r is a rawer car than the 5r/ep, nearly went deaf in my mates dc2r on the hwy and couldnt even hear the radio lol.
