Euro - Headers or Pulleys?

**sodaz** · 24-11-2006 07:47 PM

I'm planning to add either one of those to my Euro in the near future. But before i do that, i'd like to hear some opinions first.

Headers v.s Pulleys - Pros and Cons. Tell me what you think!

Header.

Pros: POWA in all rpm.
Cons: makes you wanna put the pedal down, hissing sound (for DC & DC copy & Maxims)

Pulleys.

Pros : POWA in all rpm range, better fuel consumption.
Cons : Same as header. Cannot use amps or subs unless if you upgrade the battery.

For a starter, I'd recommend the header. You will gain more when you get the complete setup (Intake and Exhaust). For the hissing sound, there is a thread about it.

if your looking for a value for money performance upgrade spend 700 or so and get a lightweight flywheel that'll do more than an I/H/E combined as it will the pulley.

if it has to be between those two though, get the header - there's been issues with the with the stock pulley belt losing tension or something (header seems the safer option)

agreed with chris_F
my next mod is the JDM DC5R flywheel. but personalyl i wanted to do I/H/E first then the flywheel

Does anyone know if there is a heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel combo available that is specifically for the
euro instead of having to go for the DC5 setup?

Well they are the same set up.....

Comptech has a lightened flywheel for the TSX, exedy have a clutch setup for the TSX too. I am sure they are the same as the ones for the RSX though!

I heard the area on the flywheel facing on the DC5R(where the clutch etc sits) is smaller/less than the Euro!

if your car doesnt have HEI at all, I will get either intake or exhuast first.
between these two... I will get pulley coz i get those hiss sound lol

Clutch and flywheel are the same for dc5 and euro or maybe even the new civic with K engine in. I personally wont go for JDM dc5r as I think aftermarket one are lighter and I will get clutch at the same time.
