I just got an exhaust manufacture to make mine up. Cost me £100.

Without mapping you'll get the EML light on though

No point in decat without ECU to take advantage, money is much better put into a decent cat back exhaust system.

the car has been remapped and a stage 2 chip installed

 

[Chris.]

A stage 2 chip? Lmao. Where is this place?

 

[neils]

i know what in on about i think haha its some type of chip but not a pro chip ask murray he knows lol

I'm such a div when i comes to car talk

 

[Ep3-joe]

got a jap-speed one on mine and cant knock it and gave good gains bit loud though now.

You can't "chip" a K20 engine, you can get a stand alone ECU (no point on a road car), Unichip or KPro.

I've never heard of a "stage 2 chip", sounds like bullshit to me.

Just get Hondata, there's good reason why most well modded K20 engines cars use Hondata.

sorry i am really rubbish at this car talk its been re mapped.

any idea where i can get a space sensor to connect to the lambda sensor so it get the correct reeding when i decat it ??? does that even mean anything to anyone lol

 

[Walkden]

It will need remapping again once decatted. find out what ecu you have as said earlier you can't 'chip' these.

 

[spanner_monkey]

A lambda sensor simulator? Basically the sensor screws into the end of it and that goes into the de-cat pipe where the sensor would go.

eBay is the cheapest

I bought an ep3 about a month ago and the previous owner d-cat the car, he put it back to standard before he sold it to me and recently that light came on, could it be something to do with this? I brought it out to my local Honda garage and they did tests and didnt find anything.

 

[Chris.]

It'll more than likely be an O2 sensor but I find it hard to believe that they couldn't find anything if there was an EML on. :lol:

Well its the truth

 

[Chris.]

You can self diagnose it.

 

[xKev]

how?

Like mentioned about you cant 'chip' the car. It has the K-100 on this car. You would be better getting a K-Pro and your mods mapped now you are planning more mods on the car like removing the cat, new catback and inlet manifold etc.

I dont know a lot about EP3's but I told you to keep an eye out on this forum or CTRO for a K-Pro

^ Kpro and K100 are esentially the same thing. The only difference being that you can plug into a kpro and download data. There will be no performance gains to be had changing from a k100 to a kpro.
