Hi there CX Racing turbo kit will not fit UKDM or JDM EP3,this kit is for DC5 or RSX How to say,sidewinder will fit EP3 without the modification,FMIC will fit with heavy modifications,Downpipe will not fit,you need to make own downpipe and other parts I would say will fit without...

Hi there Hard to recommend,but if you are looking to get most of the NA then this will and can cost you more than go route of the turbo or supercharger,have look we are tried for several moths to run NA,we are made with basic mods around 242bhp which has been enough,but we are previously run on...

Hi Ant Sorry for late reply there To yours question,we are run USDM sidewinder and we are run USDM log manifold without the single issue,only thing which I would keep in mind,USDM downpipes doesn't fit as should,you will need little bit to modify,nothing serious there,unless you are buying...

Hi there Do you want to run 20/80 as water methanol or do you want to run only meth in tank? If you want to run only 20/80 mix(20% meth and 80% water) you will not make too much power,you can loose power...Running 80% meth and 20% water this should add bit more power,but not sure if WMI pump...

We are not run too inline filter and we are been OK too,no limescale on normal water too over here,we are always checked after 3 months,but everything has been OK too,but we are later on switched to distilled water Here are results on Subaru V-power alone T99 with 50/50 meth and smallest...

Hi there 50/50 is most common to use and have best results in knock/ignition and cooling,we are tried several mixtures with meth like 60/40 etc and there has been small differences,we are tried to run only water,but this has been just for cooling and we are lost on top end after mapping and we...

Hi there What we are run on Subaru,we are tried few settings like start at 12psi and maximum has been set at 23psi,then we are tried to start at 0psi and maximum has been set at 23psi again,difference has been only in ACT/IAT temps when we are set start at 0psi,on RR we are lost around 10bhp...

And I forgot to say,running in tank meth this will not make any difference to IAT/ACT temperature,this in tank meth is more for BHP gains than cooling,due this if you are looking more for IAT/ACT temps decrease with in tank meth then you will be disappointed,due this you will need to run WMI if...

Hi there Personally I wouldn't go beyond that 15-20%,its proven and tested on numerous cars,I know Andy F run on his Subaru 50% and gains has been negligible against the 20%,only thing which is better is to run E85,but over here is not available and if yes,then only racing E85 which is...

Hi there Personally we are started to use T99,due the V-Power is not always available around the UK and Tesco Momentum is available almost everywhere where is big Tesco with fuel pump. On Subaru what we are tried V-Power and methanol mixture has been best,car has have very nice feel,how to say...

Hi there What I know Shell V-Power Nitro+ is 99RON and Tesco is too 99RON,difference is just Tesco have higher Ethanol content than Shell Few years back few people have issue with Tesco Momentum,but we are using Tesco Momentum now around 2-3 years and we are never have issue with Tesco...

Hi there Personally I would choose Tesco Momentum,its usually cheapest fuel and give you very similar results like V-power in therm of power and MPG,although our cars(Subaru or EP3) preferred Tesco and car on Momentum has have smoother power delivery,with V-Power power delivery has been bit...

Hi there Please speak with CPL,they should have those at stock http://www.cplracing.co.uk/products.php?productid=177 Or with those guys http://www.pulleyboys.com/store/home.php?cat=7 http://mercracing.net/products-page/blower-pulleys/jrsc-3-blower-pulley-jackson-racing/...

Hi there I think this has been covered few months back,please have look on this thread http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?93667-Ep3-big-brake-kit-fitment I would suggest speak with Wilwood directly and I would assume you will need probably from RSX rather than for EP3,RSX have...

Hi there Personally I've been using Hardrace parts on my cars and about the bushing,I've always used SuperPro which has been proven on numerous cars as on pour wagon which has run 555.5bhp Really depends on budget,but both RCA kits are good,but personally I've used like Hardrace or...

Hi there Personally I wouldn't use BP,on Subaru this fuel caused lots of problems... I've always used like Tesco Momentum,which we are have mapped our EP3 which has run 382bhp or on the Subaru which has run 555.5bhp,this fuel has been great and in many cases we have better MPG on T99 than on...

Hi there As above depends on more factors,but you need to decide which will be best Coilovers are great if you will choose good one,I've tried several coilovers on several cars and with some coilovers you will feel every pothole on the road,on some you will not feel anything,they will feel...

Hi there Really depends on target,but usually with WMI setup you will have lower ACT(Air Charge Temperature) and better knock resistance which is only good on supercharged or turbo cars.On NA cars WMI doesn't make such difference as on supercharged or turbo cars. Yes if you have loads of...

Hi there We've run on Subaru WMI(water Methanol Injection),we've run AEM WMI kit which has been very easy to fit and you should be able to fit this very easy and power gains 15bhp which is lot less than we are expected,when we are run only methanol in tank(15-20%) we are gained extra 40bhp WMI...

Hi there From personal experience and what I know,usually weakest point of the K20 engine are connecting rods,valve springs and headstuds,but to the degree how much power are thinking to run,if you are thinking to run somewhere in region of the 400bhp I would say you should be OK with stock...

Hi there Hard to say if I would recommend NOS on the Type R,although I've run NOS on our Subaru where NOS has been controlled via Syvecs ECU. Assume are you running Flashpro if yes then good news you can at least control the ignition timing to make nitrous safer via Flashpro,but still I would...

H there They can run in different pressure,but they're both same size (310cc),those injectors should be OK for 240-250bhp,beyond that 440cc injectors I would suggest Hope this help Thanks,Jura

Hi Andy As above you can buy sidewinder manifold,but you will need custom downpipe and not sure if TDI North selling this with downpipe and still you will need FMIC which needs to be modified,usually universal FMIC should be best bet Second option is you can go with K20 Log turbo...

Hi there As above please remove the decat and fit OE pipe. Usually when you fit decatted exhaust car is not running lean,but rich or richer,because this is down to the exhaust not intake If you will fit different intake manifold or any other intake mods then car will be running lean.... But...

Hi there As above Loxy said,K20 injectors are same or if you want interchangeable,but I wouldn't fit larger injectors if you are don't have K-PRO or K100 or if you are not planning to get car mapped for those upgrades Larger injectors I would suggest only if you are planning to run...

Hi there I'm bit surprised you are wrapped D2 discs,I've run similar discs(K-Sport) on our wagon and we are tracked our wagon and we are never have any issues with discs,pads that's different story,we are went via few of them Spoon monoblock,bit expensive choice,when for this price you can have...

Hi there I would go down the route of the D2 6pots with 330mm and PF Z-rated pads,we are running D2 330mm with PF Z-Rated pads and this combo is awesome for day to day driving and too for track days,have run similar setup on the wagon which has run in excess 555.5bhp Agree about the AP,they're...

Hi there WhiteLine I would choose without the doubts,not sure if you can get Eibach ARB's for EP3 or RSX are same,but have run Eibach on our wagon and has been awesome ARB Hope this help Thanks,Jura

Hi there We are bought them in US,you can get Powerflex bushes cheaper here,Hardrace bushing cost here crazy money(full polybush kit is somewhere in region of the £450-£500),RCA or extended ball joints they cost around £150 You can check with Hardrace UK,but be aware they're expensive here in...

Hi there If yours car is still standard then I would go with OE parts,but I would upgrade bushes at least to the Powerflex,they will make bit difference,polybushing the car can makes bit of difference And about the Ball joints,we are run RCA kit on our Subaru and there this transformed the car...

Hi there Really depends,we are went with Powerflex bushes and Hardrace Extended Front ball joints,OE is still enough for most of the cars,everything depends if yours car is lowered or not etc Hope this help there Thanks,Jura

Hi Haz Really depends on budget there,but usually I would go with best pads which you can get something like Carbon Lorraine RC5+,Pagid RS series,Performance Friction pads,but those pads I would recommend only if you are planning track days,for fast road driving,Brembo HP sport or Cosworth...

We've used PF RH665 on our wagon and now we are using same fluid with D2 8pots,but above Motul RBF600 is good too,good brake fluid is essential if you are planning track days,for fast road is essential too,but if you are running some OE pads and discs you will never see any difference,you are...

Hi there I personally can recommend Performance Friction Z-rated pads which we are run on our Subaru with 555.5bhp,not sure if they're available for EP3,but if not then Carbon Lorraine RC5+ or DS2500 are great pads,but still I would choose PF pads or RC5+,and I would stay away from EBC,like...

Agree as everything what are you buying from US,Japan and other companies which are not in EU you will need to pay VAT and import duty I've bought Spec C roof vent from Japanparts and I've paid for Import duty just £28,from RHDJapan I've bought WorksBell Paddle shifter and I've paid for import...

Hi there I would speak with RHDJapan,I've used them in past and this company is in my view best with japanparts if you are looking for Japanese parts http://www.rhdjapan.com/fujitsubo-legalis-r-exhaust-muffler-honda-civic-type-r-ep3.html...

Agree on this and yes off course its only speculations as always. Fuel filter we are too replaced as pre-caution last month and injectors can cause this,if they're blocked or if they starting to fail But from personal experience,few months back we are got severe misfire when car started come...

Fuel filter on EP3 is something which you shouldn't need to replace,those fuel filters are pretty robust and I've never seen them to fail,but yes can happen On this picture A is where is located fuel filter and part number is 17315S5A932 Thanks,Jura Idle valve/TPS and jerkiness when you...

Yes there are lots of clips,which shouldn't be hard to get off,I would put car on the stands and do this on stands,better will be to go on the ramp Just be prepare to use lots of WD40,but usually shouldn't be hard to remove O2/Lambda sensor But still I would check wiring if its OK,sometimes...

Hi there This error is P0141- O2 Sensor 1 Sensor 2 Heater Circuit Malfunction Bank Are you running decatted exhaust or are you running K-PRO? Yes its fairly DIY job,just I would recommend get the 22mm Lambda tool,this tool cost from Halfords around £9 Yes when you will buy new Lambda...

Hi there I would check fuel pump and please check fuel sock too,clogged fuel sock can cause those issue and second bit which I would check are injectors if they're not clogged too,last bit which I would check are spark plugs,what spark plugs are you running ? When you last time changed plugs...

Hi there If car is not tuned or mapped then I would say,you should be OK to run regular unleaded fuel,but I would still run Shell V-Power or Tesco Momentum T99,you will loose if you will be running 95RON,if you want to run 95RON then I would add Octane Booster to it Redex injector cleaner I...

We are using Tesco 99 Momentum only or V-Power,we have good experience with those fuels,we are tried only once BP Ultimate and car has run like bags of nails,I wouldn't put to any performance car 95RON fuel or 97RON,if yes only 97RON with Octane booster Thanks,Jura

Hi there Did you check hoses if they're attached or they're not split? Are you running different panel filter,some Panel filters like K&N,Green Cotton,Cosworth etc can have or can give you noise which you are describing Thanks,Jura

Hi there We are thinking go with K20A2 and Z4 head as Z4 heads from reports are best heads for Honda,plan is build "reliable" 600bhp K20 engine,but this depends on how far we can or we push standard K20 block Thanks,Jura

Hi there I would say,yes you should be able to squeeze them under arches,but still I would roll the arches at rear at least,in front not sure if this does help,we are rolled arches at front and rear,but we are running 225/40 R18 with 7.5JX18" ET38,when we are rolled arches,we are still got arch...

Hi there Those brakes which are rusty assume are back one/rear one ? If yes then I would at least check them as above if seals are OK and clean them,if seals are gone then,my suggestion is get pair of new one with new discs and pads,rebuilding the brake calipers is possible if you know how to...

Hi there I wouldn't be worried about the injectors noise....Most of the injectors are noisy. We are running ID1000's injectors are they're pretty noisy too,friend in US running DW 1300's on his K20 and they're noisy like hell Thanks,Jura

Hi there Off course it depends on the offset,but still if you are running small camber or pretty standard camber -1.0 at front and rear,all wheels will catch/rub,due this best way how to get rid is run higher negative camber above -2.00 and get arches rolled and possibly pulled out and I would...

That's good news,when I've spoke with Hondata,they said,Traction Control is now only for FN/FD and maybe then they will be making this for EP3 and many others,but yes this should help with wheel spin on drag strip or day to day use,not sure,but good thing to have at least Thanks,Jura

Agree HKS no longer making Hi Power Silent for EP3 or for Honda,its shame,because is best exhaust what we run and quietest,but we are now running Scorpion Exhaust which is very quiet at motorway driving etc,second exhaust what we are tried is Magnex which is not bad,very quiet,just bit...

HKS for me there Have used HKS exhaust on my previous cars and they're been always awesome sounding exhaust although I would go with Hi-Power Silent if its possible,with this one we are been able pass every track day Thanks,Jura

Hi there Hard to say,but I've seen few EP3 which have fitted 8.5J ET44,but I'm not sure if you will be able fit them under arches without the serious arch work(Rolled arches and possible pulled arches too or wider arches/wings/fenders) and aggressive camber. Second option can be running low...

Hi JK Speak with about the brakes Ian@Godspeed brakes http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~godspeed/category.php?id_category=73 Same or similar discs please have look on those and they're cheaper too http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~godspeed/product.php?id_product=192 Thanks,Jura

Thanks guy for kind comments,really appreciated I will try post the pictures of EP3,during the weekend,still is not finished and still lot more needs to be done Thanks,Jura

Hi there You can get away with arch rolling,we are running on EP3 225/40 ZR18 without the issue,car is lowered on KW V2 Second I would recommend add bit more camber at front and at rear,we are running -1.4 at front and at rear -1.4,tyre wear will be OK,tyre wear can be issue if you will be...

Hi there Off course depends on pads,you can have best caliper on the market,but if you will be using sh1t pads then,then you can't expect miracles Multi pot brakes,this varies,take as instance K-Sport 8 pots,those brake calipers using same pads as AP 6pots,do they brake same or similar as AP...

That's correct,but still not sure if they fit UKDM Type R knuckle/hub... Second bit which is concerning mostly me,are they better than stock brakes or Brembo,some people are happy,some are very disappointed with Wilwood Dynalite,really depends for what reason they're bought them,if they're...

Just remember Do-Luck panel or cone filters have poor filtration,I would say they're on par with HKS I would go with K&N,I've used on my cars like on Subaru which has run 555.5bhp or on the EP3 Type R which is running turbo or on Megane F1 225,I've always used K&N,they have great filtration and...

This conversion I'm considering too,just due less gear changes and higher speeds in gears,this has been taken from K20 forum and mostly guys over on US forums running this setup on their boosted K20/K24 EP3 w/ 4.3 FD & TSX 6th as 5th 1st Gear :1 40.93MPH 2nd Gear :1 69.74MPH 3rd Gear :1...
