Love this EG specially in white!! Good job restoring it bud[emoji106]

That's ok then, I thought you had the stock ecu! You will see bigger gains when you intercool it! With the rotrex c30-94 with intercooler you will easily get 350 whp!

Anytime bud. What stage kit are you getting? Fitting is not hard but you will have to have the car transported to where it's going to be tuned!

So far the clutch has been able to handle 280 ft/lb of torque because the way the charger puts the power down is nice and smooth! I'm also running oem lsd gearbox! If you want to upgrade clutch I think a stage 2 is more than appropriate for performance road car without having a heavy pedal feel!

I'm running rotrex charger pushing 412whp with oem clutch and flywheel and not a problem hope this helps!

Lovely looking car bud keep up the good work [emoji106][emoji108]

Saw a red FK2 on the M4 and from the sides and front looks really nice but what happened to the rear?! Honda could have done a better job for a car that costs 30K plus!! Not impressed at all!!

Nice looking Accord there man! The blue goes perfect with those wheels!!

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! More pictures!!!!!!!!!!!

EK9 is a serious road weapon when it comes down to handling and acceleration, I'm sure you will love it!! I'm not sure if clear under seal is available out there but you could seal it with plastidip. It can always be peeled off and you can get it in white.

Welcome to TRO bud! Love what you have done to the EK9 to make it look special again. Really nice motor!

Great update bud! All worth it in the end! Show Stopper!

Hi welcome to TRO bud! Keep up the good work! Nice motor!

With the forged engine running a 9:1 compression plus oil cooler 10w40 should be enough! But without data on oil temps when pushing hard it will be a guessing game! Winter time 10w40 will be fine as the air is cold but hot summer temps might be a problem when pushing hard specially on track and...

My Rotrex JDM K20A FD2 engine in stock form put out a max whp 494 with 324 ft/lb torque so a lot more to be made once oil pump is sorted no doubt!

Very nice build buddy! Love the Rotrex chargers for the instant throttle response and power delivery! What kind of torque is the K20 making and max rev limit? Thanks

Hi there, I am running 10psi on my Rotrex FD and currently putting down 412whp! On unrestricted 19psi the K20A put down 494whp! With this amount of power there's a lot of wheel spin sometimes even up to 4th gear with cold tyres! Once you adapt on throttle control it's quite fun to drive...

Ahahah! Lol hopefully tears of joy! Just make sure to share some pictures mate!

Lol broke but happy once all that bling is shinning behind the wheels! Once the pads and discs have had time to properly bed in and you deliberately hit those anchors as hard as you can I'm sure you'll have a huge smile and a huge release of adrenaline lol

Whatever rotor replacement you plan on getting stay away from cross drilled ones, slotted ones are more than enough! When I replaced mine, I had it all ordered from ABP Motorsport and as always great customer service and support and had it all shipped next day! I just can't remember how much the...

That's some serious work under the bonnet and the Mugen looks awesome! Are there any intake carbon pipes for the S2000 available ? Now that would take it to another level Chris! :-D Carbon is an incurable addiction and spreads like the plague! Lol

Hi there I'm sure this is a FD2 manifold!

I am not 100% sure on the EP3 as I haver never come across an issue like this and hopefully someone on here can confirm but some cars have resistor blocks and a high speed relay, while others may have a blower control module that isn't working properly and this "might" be why it's behaving like...

Is the air con light on when that happens?

Forgot to mention, please check that the heater fuse hasn't blown first!

You might need to check the knob that turns heater on and off as something might have gotten loose, stuck or broken! Check the handbrake cable as with age these tend to stretch a bit and replace with new Honda one.

@ Jura, can you please advise if running 20/80 mix of meth requires different heat range plugs and plugs also being gapped to suit such mixture. Thanks

Very nice looking FD2 congratulations bud!

Hi there, I can only comment on the 4pot 328mm kit that I have on my EP3 and so far no regrets since upgrading all parts are of great quality! The 328mm will look a lot better behind the wheels than the 300mm IMO! These brakes are the business when it comes to serious stoping power specially on...

This is very useful information, thanks Jura. The 20% of meth used was that the optimal mix ratio for the ep3? Would not make more power by let's say using a 40 or 50% meth mixture? I'm running rotrex supercharger 10 psi boost pressure. Thanks

What other mods have you lined up for this year?

Congratulations mate one of many trophies to follow! IMHO this motor is a show stopper period! Would love to see this motor in a magazine feature!

The warm weather is not helping much! Do you plan on upgrading the induction Chris?

Love it! love it! love it Chris ! It sounds very responsive to throtle input through the midrange!

Looks lovely congratulations bud !

I never got round to fitting the kit as I changed my plans to charge my EP3. Instead I will fit it to my JDM K20 FD3. TTS will map the meth kit. Check the pictures if it helps!

Fvkers! Feel for you bud, hope they catch these scumbags! This has made re-think once again to have tracker fitted to my cars! Good luck and all the best in getting it back!

There's not one thing I dislike about this motor! Loving the transformation bud, that engine bay is just like paradise and one of the most outstanding EP3s I have ever seen! Well done!

Stock K20a is the king of boost:eek: [/URL][/IMG] Shot taken at the Ace Cafe London [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] Awaiting delivery of some goodies, hopefully will arrive this coming week! :D

Now these seats look awesome and compliment the interior, centre console and handles! Love it!!

Really love what you have done to the EP3 for sure looks one of a kind!:) How's the handling on air?

Hi Marco welcome to TRO bud! Love your DC2 well spec'd motor!

That is very true bud, when I go through the receipts and paperwork I'm like WTF? How much? Damn someone really has very deep pockets!! It is a one of a kind motor more FD2 than FD3, insane! And the amount of spare carbon bits that was included with the car is unbelievable!!

Thanks bud, that is a valid point there Loxy I asked myself the very same question as most of you guys! But the guy who I bought the car from is a young entrepreneur with very deep pockets and the Civic was his very first car! His next car was waiting for him, this V8 AMG Bi-Turbo!

Previous owner had all this work carried out whilst the chassis was stripped lots of welding to seems! Chassis is as stiff as hell!!

This car was part of a sponsored project that it would be possible to convert to fd2 hence lots of money thrown in by previous owner not me! I bought the car already finished. How many people convert EG civics to K20a even EP2 to EP3 spec is that a bad thing? It's still a Honda at the end of the...

The reason I bought it was because its unique and the craziest project I've seen with a civic. Test drove a FD2 and there is not much of a difference at all apart from power this is a pure road beast!

The car is going through the registration process at the moment so soon will have an engineers report including the engine replacement as advised by dvla.

Thanks Fools, for some reason the XXR's look better in the flesh but I have thought about replacing them so will have to research on different wheels at some point! I have a long list of mods so will focus on that and probably leave the wheels for last! That's right FD2R for Type R :D

This car started it's life as a 1.4 Civic Hybrid FD3 and it's the first and only to have had a complete conversion carried out, literally every nut and bolt has been swapped from a genuine import FD2. A big thanks to the previous owner who poured loads of sweat, blood, tears, ££££ thousands and...

Congratulations with your new car Chick and welcome to TRO ! Love the rare leather seats. Have a very happy Easter!

Nice one on the mot mate! I'm sure the servicing will not be as expensive as the Evo was! Lol

Welcome to TRO mate!

Hi Chris car is looking very very nice mate!

Tegiwa is the cheapest place to buy it from and you will also need to buy the magnetic filter!

Welcome to TRO bud. Very nice motor love the Mugen look!:p

Sweet looking motor, love it!

Yes Loxy one might have clearance issues with different US headers but this KidRacing header offers great clearance and does not even come close to the anti roll bar. Here's a picture I took a while ago, sorry iphone quality!

When I bought my header from the states I was told it would work well with the K20A2 combined with a 3" exhaust and so far i've not had any issues. My car is a 2005 UK EP3 Type R, hope this helps.

Why not get a used complete facelift mirror in good condition and just do a straight replacement? A good working one will cost between £50 to £60.

This is what the header looks like when bolted to a K20!

I've got a KidRacing header Tri Y 4-2-2-1 shape. Quality is great and good midrange and top end power. Mase mapped and it put 205.9 WHP at Surrey rollers and mods consist of Gruppe M intake, 3 " custom exhaust with HKS 409 Hi-Power backbox. Great throttle response. Hope this helps.

/ DVDs.

Good luck with the car Chris and hopefully it's something that can be easily rectified!!! Dam! What a lovely Evo!

I did notice 2 or 3 runs with similar results and was thinking to myself maybe Mase was sorting the fueling or ignition out!! Maybe that help deliver more torque and coming on boost sooner!! Mase is a Human Ecu, awesome guy!! I'm glad I've waited for him to come over. He said he's so busy he...

Lol Thanks, he definitely does! Really nice guy and I'm glad he tuned my motor he squeezed every bit of power out of the K20 big thanks to Mase!

Yeap that's the one mate. It put out 240bhp, Mase done a great job tuning the Kpro, it pulls strongly to 8500 RPM!

Hi Chris nice to meet you briefly at SRR the dyno figure was very impressive. Now 420bhp that's a ballistic missile. On the dyno the Evo was spitting flames lol

Hi mate, great news to hear hope it all goes smooth at TDI North for you and the most power gets extracted from that K20! Lol about keeping standard! All the best of luck mate!!

Congrats in getting the car mate! But oh my! Get rid of all them stickers first, sort those wheels out and less red on it will look 10 times better!

Forgot to mention, also make sure to check the cat has not come apart inside as bits inside could make funny noises, if that's not the case then its engine related! Hope I'm wrong as k20s don't come cheap!

That don't sound too healthy mate! It sounds like bottom end will need a complete overhaul! If you're good with spanners then it's just time consuming and it could be put right with little money! Otherwise have a mechanic look at it and give you an idea of how much it's going to cost and avoid...

Good job painting it red dazza, will definitely stand out from behind! Rear lower control arms and brace would be a very nice future add on!

R as a first car?! :-)) good on you mate!!! Hope you have fun with it! My first car was a lovely Fiat 127 and what a great car that was. Really fun to drive!

Wow! Awesome finish! If your mate ever visits west London I'd be interested in getting the car detailed!

Got one of these fitted to my Ep3 for a while now.

Great choice mate! Looks very nice indeed!

Those Rota's look so much better just black stay away from red stains!

This is clearly a release bearing issue and also springs on clutch plate completely worn out had that problem myself nd a new exedy hyper clucth sorted that problem out!

Its not a Bugatti why try make it look like one, pointless IMO !

Nothing to worry about I believe it's the starter motor that does it as mine does the same sometimes.

They're great in the rain as it stops water from coming in when the windscreen starts to mist up and you need to open the windows a bit, but I found it not so good when the weather is very hot and not enough air comes in as it deflects it? But definitely gives the car a nice look, shame the JDM...

Hi Ash welcome to the forum mate love the NHB shine just a shame it don't last very long!

Welcome mate, sweeeet motor!

Loving that Scooby of yours Loxy and being a big Scooby fan myself for sure it will be my next set of wheels.

Cool. Forgot to mention when going on motorways the baffle goes straight in mate as its mega loud oops :-))

Many thanks for the criticism stoo :-)) surely you'll find many cars on this forum appalingly as loud as moi some even get banned from race circuits! That's the sound it makes without the baffle insert! Was going to make another video with the baffle in so members can hear the difference which...

Hey loxy how come your other comment just vanished into thin air mate surely can't be tapatalk playing about! :-)) Lol

Hopefully the other half will agree to hold the phone while I do the drive-by sound check :-))

I think it's the old age bud :-)) lol. Motor runs sweet as ever, very quiet while cruising around but deadly at full throttle!

HKS 409 Hi Power Exhaust backbox with 4-2-2-1 Header and 3" inch B-Pipe Reving sound under 5000/RPM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLc2ocqgHhY

Agree mate that's on the list :-))

Here's what a 3" b-pipe sounds like when put together with the Awsome HKS 409 Hi Power back box. Revving below 5000rpm! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLc2ocqgHhY

Only got the Seibon spoiler because another member here sold it to me for a good price as I just can't justify the £ 400 + postage for this.The condition was like new so was lucky there and the carbon looks Awsome. Now I want carbon tailgate, doors, skirts, Bonnet and maybe front wings and...

Thanks bud, agree. I was thinking of sticking my oem wheels back on but then got offered a very good price for the Rota's, I would have to be a fool to refuse so bought them straight away and very happy with the new shoes :-))

Also on the list was to replace my Mugen replica spoiler for a Seibon carbon fibre one Will have to take better pictures of this rear spoiler specially now the sun's out!

And the wheels of choice was the Rota Slipstream 17 x 8 5H x 114.3 ET48 that I've purchased from Rota Wheels. These wheels feel so light when compared to my 18's! Then wheels got wraped in 215/45/17 rubber

Also got 4 brand new tyres but what wheels will these go on?

Some more pictures while car was on the ramp: Also had the backbox moved closer to the bumper as I didn't like the way it stuck so much out and looks a lot better now!
