Good evening guys. I've spent most of my sunday here reading and reading. tbh? I'm confused. well confused. some of you guys agree with supercharged. some of you guys agree with turbo EP3's.( and it might be cheaper). I'll try to make the right questions or simple as possible.
I have a stock ep3 with just an induction kit (aem 2). I've checked all the paperwork of the vehicle and doesn't seem to be added any other "mod". But I have been in 3 others Ep3's and mine feels way quicker until the 4th gear than the other cars( even they have said that when they drove it).
anyway...
I absolutely love this little toy and I want to start modifying it.
I've read here somewhere the best place to start is with the ECU replace and a remap.
Shouldn't I change the exhaust manifold aswell? acorrding to Chris " The K20A2 exhaust is quite good, and replacing it won't help power much at all. You will need a larger diameter if you plan to tune it further though. 2.25 to 2.5 maximum unless you want to use forced induction... Good for about 5 bhp "
all I've seen is people saying the Kpro kit is probably the best kit in value/expectations.
What's a magnex back box?
Also I might be wrong/stupid of saying it. but I reckon if you change the fuel injection everything else will respond much quicker/better. no? :lol:
anyway I'm not worried about costs ( I hope not). but I feel lost and I'm not sure which direction I should start following.
maybe last question, how far could you mod your ep3 and keep it reliable?
ok last one, Does anyone know a good garage to pop in and have a look/chat in Norfolk?
Many Many thanks.
Daniel.
I_ shall keep reading :lol::lol:
