cheers again
shall discuss with him a bit more then
he did say, to him the GM and tegiwa one (if it is the other he was on about) looked exactly the same so if it does the same then he'd be happy with that as he can't really be bothered waiting/hunting for a decent priced 2nd hand GM.
RBC....race mani.....hondata......all of my wuts? o.O haha (ok, google helps me understand things
) but I'm not sure if he does have anything else in mind after this/down the line.
If he plans on just adding an intake for noise. then a typhoon or AEM are perfect. they make a lot of intake noise and will get the job done.
Gruppe M is great, but maximum gains will be had when supported by other breather mods.
RBC intake manifold - a larger intake manifold that will increase overall power and torque when coupled with a GM intake.
Race manifold - plenty on the market, Japspeed seem to be well regarded in the budget area of the market or TODA if you are looking for maximum gains and dont want fake tat on your car. this manifold will remove the cat though so bear that in mind
Hondata K100/KPro - ECU with programmable functions. K100 is only accessable by a tuner, KPRO has usb so you can fiddle yourself. the car would need remapping with a race manifold on anyway.
all of the above are the most common, tried and tested power upgrades for NA. it should come in at around £1800 for the intake, manifolds, ecu and remapping and result in around 250BHP.
After owning a GM, it was brilliant and I would suggest trying to find one, but tell your mate only to bother if he are going to add the other stuff I mentioned as the cheaper intakes will do the job just as well if he is only looking for noise.
the best place i spent money on my EP3 was handling, good geometry setup, LSD, stiffer ARBs, AD08s.
