Euro - Headers or Pulleys?

[Chris_F]

LOL this thread has turned into a clutch discussion thread!!

hahaha sorry, that was partially my fault. Not totally off topic though because i think it's something else you should seriously consider.

hahaha tony mate you need to learn how to quote

Given the information that ALN posted a jdm dc5r flywheel would have to be matched with a dc5 specific clutch. I know my clutch is a dc5 application but just assumed a CL9 application wasn't available.. obviously it was becasue of the flywheel i chose

Yeah i know,somehow on yours i screwed it up.

What brand of clutch are you using ALN?How much did it all cost and where did you get it all from?......Thanks.

I'm using the exedy single clutch but not sure for which application, since I've done that via RE custom. Exedy guys took the closest application to euro and modify it to fit it since it wasn't released at that time. It's around $8xx for the clutch from what I remember excluding the labour. I think this year has been released application for euro/ tsx so just check it first.


Back to topic, my opinion better get the header first since it is like compulsory for exhaust and pulley is just like additional supplementary when you have complete minor mods.

Thanks for the info.I'll do HIE first then look at doing either pulleys or lightened flywheel,clutch etc.

I definitely won't be upgrading my exhaust in the future but since i have the intake already would this provide more noticeable gains than the pulleys?

[Chris_F]

Aftermarket exhausts by themselves aren't really shown to give much of a gain on a euro. THe comptech one for example gives a maz of about 5hp in parts of the rev range, not really bang for the buck. A combination of a quality header and exhaust should make more noticeable gains but its pretty low on bang for the buck IMO.

If your not gonna go full IHE... why not consider the flywheel?

[sodaz]

The flywheel looks like an interesting mod for sure but the installation time scares me a bit.

[JasonGilholme]

Shouldn't take too long to install. A day maximum if its gettin done @ a shop. A weekend if its a DIY and you've never done it before.
