swagzorst my good man !

[*DAN*]

sleeping in performance



pretty sure it's the same 'shape' in regards to axle and mounting locations

can i just wack it in using the stock gear box and ecu temporarily, or will i need to source a box and ecu for it to work? Seeing as the fd2 already had a k20 already

I can guarantee the ecu on a more "Dohc" k20 is tuned differently in regards to fuel, timing and cam change

See what you can do with aftermarket ECU's.

And you'll want the type r gear ratios

Computer is a must. Gearbox is optional. But why wouldnt you want a close ratio 6 speed?
Jeeeeeez DAN! Just convert yours to Manual.

You will never get 'Rid' of the throttle lag. You can improve response but it will always be there.
Do you have a SRI? Alot of the shitty SRI makes it lag even more. My K&N Typhoon kit made it worse lol.

Nah man, my car is stock in terms of performance. Nearly done with cosmetics, now I'm going to get mods for performance, cheap ones first of course LOL, can't afford a swagzorst atm. This lag is so annoying when I downshift and rev match, and start from an uphill

As another ozmember said :"The car feels more lively and dollar for dollar this is a must have device.".
Thats all i want to say about my 3 drive pivot throttle controller as well. 5 mins to install and then have fun. Specially with Honda_FD it is more worthy when he already has the exhaust system ;-) hahaha

Just re-iterating what everyone has already said, you technically will never remove the lag, but you'll improve the response. But for your everyday driving, you'll notice a significant difference in the way the car feels.
Yes, it essentially remaps the throttle and you can adjust to make it more or less sensitive. It's a 5 minute job to install.
Don't bother with a CAI or SRI if your aim is to improve response - I did the ghetto CAI and despite the engine running slightly cooler, it lags a little more. I have to fit the resonator back on.

The exhaust and lightweight pulley kit are the last "performance" mods I'm doing so I'm hoping that will yield some good results for acceleration and response.

Suggestion of what to purchase? LOL

Just being a povo alright?? have considered converting mine to a manual actually though.. But then would have to save money opposed to selling the car and having the money for car and other misc stuff lol

Should just be done with it and buy a s2k

When you're on a slope. and you need to launch quickly. Do petal to the metal and let off the clutch as fast as you can.
No lag and you will do a burnout and leave with style. Cause #YOLO
Lol jokessss Im sure the throttle control will help a lot.
