ECU for Civic Type R worth it?

[Relentless81]

cringe.

dude, chill.

I am chilled thanks, I meant complain or something obviously

glad you have come to accept that my FI recomendations are valid

wasn't that hard was it

Actually I just cant be bothered with you, you're one of them that will just go on, and on and on twisting my comments and talking rubbish and for arguments on the internets because you have nothing better to do. I've already said I 2was and still am a Honda nut, I am well aware D series Honda's particulary D16Z6 respond very well to to turbo apps, K20's to superchargers. B and H series not so much unless a lot more money is put into them but you need an aftermarket ECU no matter which you engine you have

I'd like to get my teg Kpro'd at some point in the future but i am slightly worried that with the VTEC point lowered it might lose some of its charm - the kick you get at 6000rpm is great fun and if it was a smooth power curve like the kpro makes it im not so sure it'd actually be as 'fun' even though i'm sure you could make progress on a B road faster

What teg is it, assuming is a DC5 its not quite as worth it as it is with a UKDM EP3

 

[Relentless81]

That's some list, any plans on owning one of Hondas decent cars though?

Would you like to suggest one for me?

NSX I hear is quite good.

Well when I come into some money i'll be sure to buy one seeing as though its my favourite car

EK9/DC2/DC5/FD2/NSX/S800 are the decent Hondas that I know of.

Lighten up btw dude

I'm light, i'm replying, am I not supposed to reply?

EK9 : Overpriced import 1.6, never really liked them for what they cost

DC2 : Love them, looked for one, test drove a 96 JDM spec almost traded in my 1.8 VTI but decided against it mainly because at the time the insurance was more than I wanted to spend

DC5 : Cant afford it

FD2 : Cant afford it

NSX : Come on now am I supposedto be loaded or what?

S2000 : Assuming you mean S2000, dont like roadsters, not a huge fan of RWD

Thought you knew about Hondas? I meant the Honda S800.

I don't like S2000's either, hence not listing it.

Why would I want an ancient car?

 

[InvaderGIR]

Old cars are win.

 

[loltim]

Dunno.

I'd take a K20'd EG6 over a DC5 for example. Old doesn't mean bad.

 

[Relentless81]

Yeah a lot of people prefer older cars, I respect some but I prefer technology and progression

Dunno.

Yeah thats fair enough, I can see why people do it, not for me though

Yeah its a DC5, I've already got an RBC, 70mm throttle body, spoon 4-2 and B-pipe so i would see decent gains from a kpro

On the subject of FI on a N/A Honda, I've never really heard of a Reliable Turbo B series.


Supercharged K Series however, is AWESOME.

Very nice. I would love a DC5 but I just have a weird issue with imports. Where did you buy yours from if you dont me asking asking assuming it wasnt private

No doubt, but there was a discussion recently on how a B20 DC2 had no issue keeping up with a supercharged EP3 which I find quite impressive being a fan of NA motors

 

[sovietspybob]

Bought mine privately from an owners club member (itr-dc5.com) - that way i felt more confident in the car as i could trace its history over the last 12 months on the forum rather than some fresh import.

If i was to import myself it'd have been 200bhp cars no question as Andy there really know his stuff and has an amazing rep on the various owners clubs

I've not had any issues so far with it being an import really apart from insurance prices but thats just what you have to expect. Theres a big enough scene to be able to source pretty much anything you can think of pretty easily.

 

[loltim]

There's plenty of reliable turbo B series out there, Hondata tuners aren't that common though in the UK, fortunately one lives 10 miles away from me and is a very good friend of mine

You do realise he emailed forum admin requesting all the track day pics to be removed prior to advertising it?

 

[sovietspybob]

Haha perhaps, but i still feel more comfortable with that kind of history rather than some unknown trade in on a forecourt somewhere!

Also it wasn't like it was gonna stay off a track with me anyhow!

There is a boy that comes into my work with a comptech EP3 apparently running around 300BHP. Its a proper flying machine.

Theres also a guy up here who just B20'd his DC2 and its running 230bhp (IIRC).

Id find it hard for a B20 to keep up with a SC K20.

Btw heres a pic for the teg 'Fappers.

 

[Relentless81]

DC5 looks awesome. Someones fitted an Ings front lip to theirs on a forum I use recently, same colour as yours but I think the standard one looks better

 

[sovietspybob]

I've never liked bodykits or any alterations really - i do have a soft spot for carbon bonnets but i fear i'd just look like a chav if i got one
