Exhaust problem

[Weav_type r]

Hi all

I'm new to this forum I've had my type r for several months now and been adding little bits when I can affofford it etc.. I recently brought a de cat manifold and didn't even consider reading up on it before I spent the money and guess what it doesn't run right. I added the two lambor sensor adapters and all they did was get rid off the light..

My question is if I had the de cat cut out and had the flandge that fits the cat welded on and added the aridginal would it run right or maybe even a sports cat? Please help cause I'm fed up of its loss of power all the time..

Many thanks Jon from Hereford

Get a remap, that would sort you out buddy.

I priced up the re map which means a k pro doesn't it and it would cost near £900 and it's the wrong time of year lol

A sports cat and welding will probably set you back £400+, won't necessarily resolve the issues you are having and when you do come to get it remapped you'll probably want to take the cat off again anyway.

Look at K100s, a bit cheaper and the same unless you plan on uploading your own map or doing datalogging which are the two things that can be done on Kpro but not K100.

Getting a decent remap done is one of the best things you can do on the car. It makes is so much more drivable day to day.

Yeah remap is best thing i ever done saves me money on fuel aswell. i worked it out as i save £500 a year on petrol with the remap. my math skill might be shocking though so don't quote me on that lol.

A remap is definitely the way forward. In terms of better fuel economy, you will need a very disciplined right foot.

Which is the better way to re map do u think.. A uni chip or k100?

 

[Loxy]

K100 without a doubt.

There are a limited number of people who will touch a uni chip with good reason. It's a pain to use and doesn't give the tuner the same control as the Hondata.

The map will be better with the Hondata.

Also please mind the text speak.

There is a group buy on K100's and mapping on CTRO, IIRC its about £600 for the K100 + Mapping.
