My Euro 'Build' Thread

[integral90]

damn that sucks. nothing worse than a ball-less low end on an already ball-less N/A 4

I know But hopefully she'll have some huge balls when the intake and exhaust are properly finished

man honestly give the ECU a few more days to adjust, i felt exactly like you when i first got the stuff installed but after a week shit, such a big diff, with the DC sports header and the single outlet titanium exhaust i found it breathes ALOT better in the upper RPM and dam VTEC is so much more noticeable when it kicks in, and the sound at WOT is just scary sometimes with the SRI and exhaust together LOL.

The car has been driven for about 6 hours since the header went on, I think if it was going to adjust it would have by now. But still, atleast I know where the problem is now

haha im guessing the engine is telling to not leave vtec and stay with the power

dont know bout ur fuel econmy when u do that though.....

Fuel economy has gone up pretty suprisingly. Was on exactly a quarter of a tank last night and it said I had another 160km before I needed to fill up. Roughly worked out that comes out to around 620km from a full tank in street driving, which is pretty good

hahahah nice read liam,

depends mainly on your intake since your running the stock intake still, there is too much limitations on the size and how it's structured, once you get justins intake you will find it different again.

ATM i am assuming your running a drop in K&N in your stock box....

If you drive my car, it does sound very quite to be honest....vtec engaging is pretty quite too.

Check the pics on the first page, I couldn't get the stock pipe back onto the box so I'm just running an el'cheapo pod filter until I can buy a proper intake. Seeing as Justin ported the RBC to 64mm and the throttle body now is 60mm, that's already a big waste of potential. I think cause the pod is right inbetween the fuse box and the battery and sort of facing down into the engine bay the sound is very violent. That really deep grumble you get from a pod but you also feel it vibrate the engine bay

Time will tell I guess

Yeah hey sorry i totally forgot....

You are sucking in hot air so less gains, you still have the CAI feed to the pod?
When you have time and money get a K&N makes the biggest difference, from what i found when compared the K&N apollo filter to the AEM pod filter. (1 oiled + other is dry)

looks good though better than my dodgy piece of crap.

what a ****ing awesome write up!!

[power_of_dreams]

integral90, are you planning on getting an SRI?

[Crapdaz]

no his waiting on eur003act's CAI custom setup.

any aftermarket fitted intake won't fit it with RBC installed.

Is that because of the battery positioning?

[Crapdaz]

No it's because the RBC has shorter runners which brings the throttle body positioning higher up.

So your premade angles of SRI or CAI intakes such as injen will need to be modified or customed new piping to be manufactured to suit.

If you add the TB spacer such as the P2R like i did it will push the TB further out which then won't clear the battery.

As you can see Liam is still using the stock intake pipe so it's fine, and has a stock battery which is smaller than larger CCA batteries.

Sorry to kinda go off topic...but does the p2r gasket for the civic si fit the accord euro with the standard intake manifold?

integral90, you've just got the gasket right and not the spacer right?

lol thats way to much info for me, id love to read but im not back at uni yet

The cold air feed was directly connected to the intake box so it left with it that diy airbox served me well, I salute it

what a ****ing awesome write up!!

Thank you! Your car is so quick!

The P2R gasket for the 06+ Civic Si only fits Euro with RBC. You'd just buy one for a Euro otherwise.

I've got the P2R intake manifold gasket but not the throttle body one or spacer yet. I might buy Justin's P2R TB thermal gasket and bore it out to 64mm

lol thats way to much info for me, id love to read but im not back at uni yet

I totally understand, lol. First post was only meant to be 500 words or so, but I started typing and didn't stop for 45 minutes, 6500 words later it was done

You guys are talking about the P2R intake manifold gasket or are you talking about the P2R Throttle body spacer gasket?

2 different things.

Civic Si TB gasket (if you get TB spacer + TB gasket this one will work)
do not buy TSX designed ones cause the port holes in the TSX are different.



TSX OR CIVIC SI INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET (GOES BETWEEN THE CYLINDER HEAD + INTAKE MANIFOLD JUST AFTER THE INJECTORS SECTION)



k24 thermal INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET (this one goes or can go in the stock manifold in the mid section pipe)

Hey mang you should get another CAI pipe done it'll serve you well again.
