what paragraph? what war? its a forum man.. we are here to share our car experience.. if you are disagree plz say it man y war ? we are friends? wtf? , u will never pissed me off at all...i am always happy to hear anyone's comment.. ring me or talk to me on msn about what u think if you dun wanna piss pepole off. I might learn something man ! I dun think i will get any help from any forum.. because i dun see anyone wants to share their experience. and i dun even think anyone ever had a situation like me that bad luck.. .. i have no mood to drive if i can never solve the problem.

Fun to talk here man.. i am just wondering if TODA AU ever put a EK4 with similer mods i have on a dyno... different dyno has different numbers, even different tyres, rims.

anyway just say what you feel like to say.. no war here.. again we are here to have fun and get to know more about hondas..

Alright man....... just wanna tell you something, what you've said has make someone pissed off...... just wanna let you know

anyway, everyone is sharing their experience here, but it's just not your cup of tea, they RECOMMEND you to practice skills but no one force you to listen, if you don't like it, just don't reply, i really don't mean anything so don't think i am trying to challenge you or something, just once again, the word you've used pissed someone off(someone told me), it's not me cos you will never piss me off so just want you to notice

If you think you couldn't get any help from any forum from anybody, it is because you post to the wrong forum, try to put it to the Technical or All Motor forum, they will be ppl going to answer you, so don't worry man. I told you i've been trying to ask around for you, so once again, don't worry........

Hi Chris, i bought the excedy clutch and spoon fly wheel, the LSD is taken out from a civic type R EK9.. i will bring it to honda and show them if i need anything else..coz i booked in to install them all in honda.

hey i feel like to let you look at the internal.. but do i need to tune the car again if you have move something? like change the valve clearence?

in my own experience, after i tuned my car in apc with power fc, i found that my car has better 0-100, but slower 0-400... rpm goes really slow on my 3rd.. so i went to tested with the stock dc2vtir, i used to test with him b4 power fc.. it was just full exhaust system. we were pretty much the same on each gear. after i tuned the car with the power fc and got bigger manifold and using pod filter, i found that i couldn't start my car at the same rpm.. it will spin like hell at 5000.. i beat him on first and 2nd about 1 car space between us. but on 3rd he was pulling up so fast and we have 2 car spaces between us after his 4th.

What i can say is.. maybe he improved his shifting skills.. or my car really goes slower.
it is hard to say.. or maybe when i tesed with the stock dc2 vtir he said i didn't pully away till the end of his 3rd.. becoz i could rev higher.. so the end of his 3rd is not the end of my 3rd. Just like i test with JD.. i could hear he shifted but i was still doing with my 3rd.. i could rev up to 8700.. i wonder how cool it is when your eg rev up to 9250.. !

What have you done? Vicent... the LSD for EK4 and EK9 are totally different.... thats why EK9's drive shaft are thicker..... dang dang dang.... well... 2 ways you can solve this... 1 sale the EK9 LSD and get your self a EK4 one, 2 get EK9 drive shafts.... which are the same as the dc2r from memory.... and for me... I have taken the 1st choice and go for the CUSCO LSD for EK4... but then you will need to get bearings for the ends on the LSD from HONDA... they cost a lot too.... dang dang dang...

By the way..which HONDA are you going to take the EK to? my friend Scott have just won the 1st place for the best technician in QLD... if you really want to take the car back to HONDA, I believe he will be the best to handle your job.

Vicent I really do not know why your car behave like that... but if the car is faster from 1st gear then it should be faster all the way... unless the torque of your car have dropped due to the modification... (which is very unlikely)

with EK4... if the engine is well balanced and all parts have been weighted before installation then the engine should be able to rev very hard....my B16A have no porting done it it.. except the shave off..(which you need to do anyway... to clean up the head... so the head will not leak) my B16A sounds kind of like motor bike engine... not sure how to explain LOL

I think the most important thing in modification is if you are happy with what you have done...

Hmm.. thx for letting me know.. if the lsd won't fit i will sell it and i won't get the cusco one, coz i bought the lsd cheap and just want to fit everything together to save up the labour.

I am going to Highway Honda to do the job, as my friends civic used to install a cusco LSD and final drive there. It is somehow hard to get honda do install after market parts.. i know that guy so he is happy to do it.

Nth i can do by just talking.. i need to send it to a workshop which is very serious and careful.. but i dun know where to go..

I am thinking to try Endless engine oil, as JD said it is a lot smoother than motul 300v, and even last longer. if it last longer i better off try, coz i get my oil change every 2000k with 300v.

I am not happy on what i have done.. let me tell you what mods made me happy !

Motul 300V
Hotwire
Carbon fiber bonnet
suspension
rims

thatz it !

umm are you sure ???
I fitted a JDM ITR gearbox with this LSD to my EK4 and it was a direct bolt up - 2 hour job remove and refit

ALL B SERIES PARTS ARE INTERCHANGEABLE

Unless your EK4 come standard whith a helical LSD.... which for AUSDM EK4s they do not come with one as standard, AUSDM come with open diff...

Checked with CUSCO part number the Open diff version of EK4(AUSDM model have to use part number LSD318 ... and for EK9 its LSD328....

i have a AUDM VTiR, no LSD option. - everything fitted perfectly ...

Well.... I don't know why too.... but I have checked my drive shaft from my old Civic and its not the same as the DC2R...
