You can't have everything mate its either for track purposes or street use/ weekend warrior . With modern cars you'll have so many different features it adds weight.

End of the day a four door, fuel economy focused family car will never compare to a high performance sedan.

What makes you think you can't have a fuel economy focused high performance family car?

Because if any of you dare say it's impossible, then none of you know what the f*ck you are on about.

I have modded my FD2 to 180KW ATW and with the amount of torque and power I have can leave most typical turbo cars in the dust.

I also get BETTER fuel economy than I did previously due to the nature of the tune.

43 litres will get me 470km mixed freeway and city driving, rev-happy.

Then you start looking at turbo options to push beyond 140kW. You're looking at an aftermarket programmable ECU. This is assuming that there is a solution like the Kpro for the FD2. Last I checked, the FD2 was not on the supported ECU list. So you end up with something like a KPro'd FN2R ECU harnessed to the stock FD2 ECU in order to keep the dashboard and aircon working. Even with this solution, cruise and traction control do not work anymore.

I have an aftermarket ECU running air con, cruise control, have no CELs, etc.

Fan boys get the fck over it, its a fuel economy civic. The amount you spend on a kswap you could easily buy something that's got more torque and power than your fd. You might aswell put it into a lotus with a frankenstein k and be making more power to weight. I'm just saying that from factory these cars produce better figures.

I don't think you get the point these guys are trying to make.

They don't want an off-the-production-line-typical-high-performance-car-with-no-daily-driver-features.

They want the FD for it's stylish looks, family-friendly seating, luxury creature comforts, etc...AND be able to make it an enjoyable, zippy sports car at the same time.

It's not asking for too much.

How much they spend? That's up to them.

I was able to accomplish my dream car, spending less than what it would have cost me buying a new evo or sti.



Honda fan boy what?

Which ECU is this? Is it a piggyback/interceptor like the Haltech/Emanage/AEM? Or is a fullly programmable standalone like the Kpro?
