DC5R throwing up engine light after having header + catback installed...

[r3ckless]

^^^

I tried the ECU reset, no good. Im trying the defouler option next. If that doesnt work ill just get a kpro, was going to do that down the track anyway.

U can do that, u are aware when u throw the cel light, the ecu throws thecar into limp mode... U losr power, and have terrible fuel consumption

The defouler is a simple soulution. Like i said to u, i have a spare and for a few bucks.. Its easily eliminated until you get kpro.
Let me know if u want mine.

My car is in limp mode right now... Pain in the butt

The ssr replica- kiddracing header is the best bang for buck header out there!





Lol you’ve been in the game for a while? please fanboy the game only game your in is need for speed.

you’ve tried what audm, jdm, and the toda header, and now you think you know the game?

how about you come and see me after you try companies like ssr, smsp, hytech etc They make custom header for your specific car not like the jdm crap you’re used to buying, and will be cheaper than a toda too.

my smsp shat all over the toda, 0.4 sec quicker on the mile, I use the toda as my sewerage pipe now, “jdm” pffffffft

God your as bad as another idiot on these forums....
He ain't a JDM Fanboy... He's expression his view point as well as i am...
TODA is worth the money, kidraccing and Buddyclub are in a league of there own...
I don't understand why you'd buy the buddyclub header that has really bad clearance when the TODA Header offers better gains and better clearance for what?? An extra $500?? (I don't mean to slander the buddyclub product, im just stating the facts)

BTW... I've had custom exhaust's made up for my DC5R before and i will NEVER EVER go back to that rubbish again.
Stick to something that will benefit your car..

If you lower your car Nuci, it wouldn't surprise me if you hear some knocking sounds.....

Settle big boy, im done now so i'll be tieing the rubbish bag now and take you to the bin too =)
Enjoy the rest of your day

I'm going to change the engine mounts, as I reckon that is what's causing the knocking. Not the fitment of the header itself. And what will I use to pay for the mounts? Probably the huge lump of cash in my pocket leftover from going with the buddyclub header over the toda ones.

I'm by no means saying that the toda product is no good. I've seen and heard the benefits you get from it. But when I get an email from Adrian saying it'll cost me 2550 to get the header, cat and swaybar, I have to think to myself is it really worth all that extra money? Because I bought my buddyclub headers from 999 for 1150. That's 1400 bucks! And you WILL NOT be able to justify that much more money for the toda header by pointing to power gains.

Like someone stated earlier, the k20a is tough to extract power from. It's not like a rb25 or 2jz whereby bolting on an exhaust can net you 50+ horsepower. We are talking 10-20 MAX. So with my 1400 bucks left over, I could buy cams, or a kpro, or a catback, or a gruppe m intake... All top shelf products that when paired with the buddyclub header, will have many more benefits than just the toda header alone. Not trying to flame anyone here. I'm just being smarter with my money. It doesn't matter how you try to justify it, it's not worth more than TWICE as much money.

I reckon solid mounts (hasport) + cai (injen) + coilovers (alot) are the three best mods for the dc5.

The mounts for more feeling and the vibrations are cool. After sitting on trains, riding in Daily's.. When I jump in my car every weekend to just drive it out to wash it. The rattles feel good(dunno why). The injen cai for really waking the engine up, and finally a coilover setup for looks as well as handling.

I was going to get inserts but if you reckon the hasport ones are better then maybe I should go with them. They're billet ones so they'll be rock hard won't they?

My opinion is do things right the first time. Why go for inserts when you can get hasports,i remerb geting mien for like $530 shipped from hasport.com when the aussie dollar was buying 81 cents LOL.. be sure to email hasport directly for an invoice shipped to Australia. Australia doenst appear on their shipping list on the site get 62A, im sure if u go any stronger, the vibes will be OTT>
