I've got a 2005 JDM EP3 that I've been gradually turning into a track day tool .... albeit over a long period of time! The focus has very much been on suspension, bushes, brakes, engine mounts, wheels and tyres. Now sorted, I want a bit more power, smoothness and usability.
Having read reams of old articles on here, I'm wondering who people still recommend to get the ECU tweaked? (Covid 19 not withstanding a future booking). Engine mods so far have been limited to an air intake and exhaust (ITG Maxogen and Teigiwa 70mm Cat Back as I don't want to make it so loud that I can't use it on track). Any additional mod suggestions or is the K20A pretty good out of the box with the changes I've already made? I gather that enlarged throttle bodies can work - but there have been reliability issues with them sticking.
I also want to retain the immobiliser and so I'm thinking I should go down the Hondata route and that I should seek out Romain at Racecal. Any thoughts on this and what sort of power / torque outputs to expect post tune?
