My Euro 'Build' Thread

My mistake, should have said....

"No further tuning ability" and extreme reflash not extreme flash.

I think this is the second time I've mentioned the kw atw in 16 months since my mods were done.
I think if I was gloating I may have mentioned it more often.

Most here know what I have been through with this system,
and any gloating I can do, I deserve.....lol

Only mentioned the numbers so those doing similar mods should know what to expect, although with further tuning ability hopefully.

nah they are good figures your getting, and yeh i know must have been hell. Just that flashing is another form of tuning for others who don't know.

Has it all been sorted?

About to have the exhaust repaired, at the rear 1 into 2 join.

Still waiting for the replacement exhaust for the "prototype" they ended up putting on.

It's only been 16 months, so I have to patient, after all they wouldn't sell anything not 100% perfect, would they?
(Although I paid $4450 for a temporary final production prototype)


Custom headers are holding together, all good there now.

When I did the 15.1 - 400m, it was with the extreme headers when the pipes were flattened causing restriction, so when I get the current crack repaired, I'll give the 400m another crack - 15.1 was with the traction control on!

My 2006 is putting down 133.4kw atw with custom headers, exhaust & intake with the extreme hondata flash, no tuning ability though.



Next on the list is cams.....hmm.....

I thought the extreme kit put out 160kw ATW.Or so it's advertised.

So you think with the header properly flowing again, VSA off and a more aggressive launch you might crack the 14s? If you could it would be interesting to see if I could, as the RBC (for the time being) has made the car a bit slower 0-100km/h, but faster after that.

That was done on a hub dyno so you probably want to take around 10% off against a roller dyno.

When my car was tuned on the VAFCii/DC Sports Headers/K&N Typhoon CAI/Custom exhaust, I made 126kws on a DTS Dyno.

Now I've got Toda Headers/Metal Cat/Skunk2 Catback/Stage 2 Cams/Titanium retainers and springs/Custom Intake/RBC Manifold, I was pushing 150Kws @ the wheels with pinging and dropped it to 143kws odd. This represents almost 40% gains from my stock run with NA mods.

JEESUS, over 20kW jump in VTEC. With your cams and proper intake/exhaust your RBC must have been performing much better than mine!

I still think that to really see benefit from RBC you gotta increase the redline closer to 8000rpm with shorter gearing

WAh nice update bro r u gona do reflash ecu aswell ?

Thanks man! Nah I'm gonna avoid a reflash. But I do plan on eventually going e-manage and v-manage to reach my phase 3 numbers

reckon there is no point having cut off higher up if your current setup is NOT making even more power after 7200rpm.

So get a base dyno and see your power band and then you'll know what to do.

I was surprised that 2nd gear @ redline speed has increased from 103k's in second (stock) to 113 k's in second.

I didn't expect the higher speeds possible at redline........

Oh yeah the J-Tune reflash increases the redline, I forgot. So you finish the 1/4 mile near the top of 3rd? I'm going into 4th about 50m before the line, trapping at about 141km/h...

Man it would be hell to drive the RBC with taller gears, because I assume it's also made the gap between 1st to 2nd a bit more noticeable?

Any updates on your CEL issue? I'm getting a 200 cell high flow cat and i'm starting to get worried

Yeah when the car got serviced they got rid of it. Tomorrow it will have been exactly a week since the service and it still hasn't come back up.

I was impressed that the J's could flow so well that even with a 400cell cat the CEL would come on!
