EP3 Type R

[Lukezen27]

I've seen graphs of cars with gains of that much that had IHE and adding a Kpro.
A friend with IHE + k100 was at 160kw. He recently got changed the BC spec 3 to a fujitsubo and 2 years later a with dirty pod and almost dead spark plugs, it's making 140+kw so needs a retune.

Now, regardless of the dyno outputs etc, the only differences between our cars were his toda headers and the k100 and his car pulled a LOT harder than mine (we switched cars too). As a reference, my EP3 is equal to, if not faster than the 4-5 other EP3s I've dragged with so my car can be said to be healthy. So for me at least, I see value in going kpro. Now if my car transforms after getting the header and the majority of the gain is from that, then I may reconsider. But from my experiences, the ECU accounts for alot!

Yeah that's kind'a what I'll do

If I get 137kw with just I/H/E I won't bother doing ECU till I get bored and turbo

Intake and catback exhaust usually nets just under 130kw atw.

Yup

That's exactly what I'm expecting

I use Adrians dyno

awesome awesome! I think you'd really need a Kpro next to really bring out the potential in all those items. Probably gain ~20KW more out of whatever you get with all those mods in.

K-Pro, Cams and a few other goodies are next on the cards.

Here's the problem I have with CIVIC's number... not saying there not true!

Guys with Cams I/H/E and kpro are only making 140-150 max and alot are round the 140 mark

So for the extra huge cash outlay with added cams and ECU and not seem much more on top???

Luke, I only did what was asked

TO ANYONE ROCKING AFTERMARKET HEADERS: please post dyno sheets if you have before and after dyno's for headers OR your general experience with upgrading the stock headers.

and I never said the figures were 100% acurate either, with results coming off the same dyno here in Newcastle. Now as we know every Dyno is different, which is why 2 days later at a car show I dynod with 10hp less. Now if I were to dyno at Toda or any other place in Sydney I am sure I would get different readings again.

My aim is to have 160 - 180kw out of this motor, which will be very achievable with the setup I am going to run.

Na not picking on you man.. I know it will only be due to different dyno read-outs but I do believe Adrians is one of the close's round on real numbers..

I'd love hit'n 160 NA and I might not even boost of I get those numbers

whats the gains like with a toda exhaust??

does Toda have anymore Dyno Days coming up? wouldn't mind seeing what the stock EP3 can do.. it'll help me monitor if any mods i do make any difference..

Hey guys, Ive been a little worried about my vtec recently, it seems to cut in at about 6.5k rpm not the 5850 its supposed too, i put more oil in there, so oil isnt an issue, it normally would worry me but when i shift up, im nbot straight into vtec, i have to wait 1sec or so for vtec to re-kickin, any ideas why?

[Philip Lee]

stock ECU? i thought the vtec point is around 6200. have your car been warmed up?

when you shift up, what is the rev drops to? if below the vtec point then u'll need to wait for the rev to go up first.

[mattatnoosa]

yea stock ecu, only diff on car is engine mounts and intake, oh ok, sorry i thought i read it was 5850rpm, i only hear the cross over at about 6.4-6.5 im not 100% sure about the revs dropping, ill check more, but they're generally quick shifts expecially from 1st - 2nd

[flubbar]

funny...mine kicks in at about 5850rpm lol, but then...it is at the mechanic getting checked out due to engine warning light. lol

[mattatnoosa]

hmmmm, need to find the figure from a manual then or something, i really want to take mine to a mechanic but there are no decent ones close enough for me to drop in and go to work lol, anyone know any good mechanics in brisbane? ie, relativly close to a train station lol
