Hi,

I just got a 2007 civic type R and was wondering what the best mods are out there to get some good power gains. Any recommendations?

[MangChi]

you might want to have a look at this thread from the UK, they have a list of mods and stuff for the type r

JTune 160kw FN2 Extreme Kit for the Honda Civic FN2 Type R

The JTune 160kw FN2 Extreme Kit has been developed to provide the complete package of JTune’s common naturally aspired products including the JTune Cold Air Induction Kit, JTune Header and JTune FN2 Dual 2.25” Cat Back Exhaust System. The principle behind the JTune FN2 Extreme Kit is to provide enthusiast with the pinnacle of naturally aspired technology in the form of optimally designed bolt on modifications designed specifically for the Honda FN2 Type R.

When modifying any vehicle with the goal to create maximum power and throttle response it is very important to insure that all parts in conjunction, this is even more important for naturally aspired vehicles. To enable maximum efficiently of all bolt on products JTune has developed the Extreme Kit which provides the very best bolt on modifications combined with precision and perfect tuning to create an extreme package guaranteed to bring an extreme rush of performance to every FN2 owner.

The Extreme Kit includes the JTune Cold Air Induction Kit which positions a forward facing 3” K&N Extreme Filter in the lower left hand guard of the FN2. The position and design of the Induction Kit allows maximum amounts of acceleration forced fed cold air into the engine. To accommodate the Cold Air Induction Kit JTune have designed a JTune Battery Relocation Kit which positions the battery in the standard air box position, allowing more flexibility to produce a maximum free flowing intake which feeds the coldest possible air into the engine, providing extreme performance.

The JTune FN2 3” True Stainless Steel High Flow Cat is designed for high performance with maximum flow and incorporates a twin reverse collector allowing for maximum ground clearance.

The JTune FN2 Dual 2.25” Cat Back Exhaust System is designed for maximum possible flow across the entire length of the system, whilst also providing a unique exhaust note due to the dual setup. The JTune system allows over 4” of total volumetric flow of exhaust gasses to the rear mufflers, allowing maximum performance for both naturally aspirated setups and forced induction. The system comes with interchangeable road and race rear pipes, allowing owners a simple DIY changeover for depending on the desired use. The road rear pipes include extra mufflers to reduce exhaust noise over the race setup. Also included in the system are high quality polyurethane exhaust hanger mounts insuring rigid exhaust hanging position.

The JTune 160kw FN2 Extreme Kit also includes top and bottom 4 pile silicon radiator hoses to replace the standard rubber hoses. Silicon hoses insure optimal cooling and coolant flow under all race conditions.

The key to harness and uniformly extract the power from the Extreme Kit is The JTune Extreme Re Flash. JTune have specifically designed this Re Flash to take full advantage of all common 98 octane fuels. Used in conjunction with the JTune bolt on products the Re Flash is a highly refined tune which delivers an extreme transmission of power and torque throughout the entire power band. JTune have lowered the VTEC cross over point from 5400 to 3400 rpm and fully remapped 4800 fuel, ignition and cam angle points. The JTune Re Flash combined with the JTune bolt on products produces extreme performance increases throughout the entire rev range and increases throttle response dramatically.

In conjunction with Toda Racing Australia JTune have developed a Custom Spec J Toda Cam Shaft package designed for use with JTune’s bolt on products for the FN2. The JTune Ultimate Kit builds on Extreme Kit and delivers the ultimate naturally aspired experience for the FN2 Type R Civic. The Ultimate Kit, based on the Extreme Kit includes the addition of the Custom Spec J Toda Cam Shafts, a set of Toda K20 Valve Springs and a Toda Timing Chain Tentioner. The Toda Spec J Cam Shafts have been designed to insure maximum possible power and torque throughout the entire rev range when used in combination with the Extreme Kit. Toda and JTune have designed the cam shafts to have an extremely low VTEC cross over point of 3500rpm, providing linear VTEC power all the way past red line. JTune have also provided with this kit the JTune Ultimate Re Flash which harnesses and uniformly extracts the power from the Ultimate Kit. The Ultimate Re Flash takes full advantage of all common 98 octane fuels combined with a highly refined tune and delivers the ultimate transmission of power and torque throughout the entire power band. JTune have lowered the VTEC cross over point from 5400 to 3500 rpm and fully remapped 4800 fuel, ignition and cam angle points.

JTune 180kw Standard Supercharger Kit for the Honda Civic FN2 Type R

The JTune Standard Supercharger Kit is designed for those who wish to keep the FN2 looking and sounding completely standard with the addition of a 30% increase in power and torque across the entire rev range. The Standard Supercharger Kit can also be upgraded in the future with the addition of The Extreme Kit, transforming the package into The Extreme Supercharger Kit, proving a further 25% increase in power and torque.

The JTune supercharger is a centrifugal supercharger which harnesses its power and torque from each rotation of the engine’s harmonic balancer, driven by engine RPM. This intern provides instant throttle, power and torque response throughout the entire rev range. The JTune Supercharger Kit delivers a very linear power delivery which creates more power and torque the more the engine is revved, providing a very smooth and drivable delivery of excess power.

that is alot of info....and i dont understand half of it, but good to know i can get stuff now, ill have to get a techy to explain it all in noobterms lol.

i like the sound of the elec which lowers the vtec level tho, that would make a huge difference

[dovla]

Thanx for all the info guys. I managed to find JTUNE too. The extreme pack sounds awesome but they said they won't have it for another 3 months and it will be around $13K. So it's not cheap. They are located in Melbourne but have people in Brisbane who can do the work. For now I'm gona do coil-overs and I have already tinted the windows.

[LD_Mart]

JTUNE is a joke...3months means 3 years

[sitta]

yea they said 3 months last november i think... not its august
