There is a FN2R group on facebook but it's a closed group and the admin not approving me. Guess my FN2 not FN2 enough for them?

No list of mods yet as I just got the car for less than 3 weeks. Wanna layan stock for another few weeks before I start anything. As it's a recond car most of the money is thrown into making it tip top at the moment. Oil changes, plug changes, tire changes.

Next would be the Air Intake system. Considering GruppeM but it's blardy expensive man... rm3k for a bloody air intake. Any other suggestions?

Get to know chris from pentagon, he owns a FD2R, but he can probably hook you up with the FN2 stuff.

Anyway, carbon ram air intake, how much you expect? Gruppe M some more.

Cheaper options always is US performance options. JP parts transport expensive, and also they tend to hike up price when sell to foreigners, unlike Proton that sells cheap to foreigners but expensive to the locals.

Or go UK spec

Then again. I like the stock airbox of the k series.

custom air ram and heatshield by GME Racing (powdercoated blue) with 6" Blitz SUS Stainless Steel filter....i personally dont bother with branded intake systems... i might care about the brand of the filter only though....

but as long as the air ram is well designed n does not obstruct the flow of air.. its all good.

anyway...my friend's intake system (pictured above) is for sale, not sure sold or not...if interested drop me a PM and ill pass u his number.

at least for us if we go k-swap we can just place the filter behind the passenger side headlamp and away from the heat..heheheheheh

anyway... since ur on S300... ever done any research into the costing for a Hondata CPR setup?

About 1.2k, but the problem is it's only available for USDM ecu's. It's stated on their FAQ on the hondata CPR.
Anyway, I'm giving up on hondata. If I am switching management, I'll probably go with AEM EMS, a bit expensive, but not so much compared to Motec systems.

Of course, if I'm spending so much on management, I should have at least some boost powah installed. lol

Currently hondata and standard distributor is enough for me.

Which reminds me that my fuel pump has never died still, and it's already a long time.
Long time ago I said I'll switch to walbro, fast forward 5 years, I'm still on the OEM pump. lol.

Not giving up hondata, it's just that it's a great management for hondas, but it also has it's limitations. For me, it's still the best bang for buck full management you can buy for honda since it's make specific. No need to rewire the car, and the honda CEL codes work!. And the cable to tune? RM5, available at any computer shops near you. Software forgot where you misplace? Go find mamak internet and download from hondata direct.

You can't do that with PowerFC, Crome, etc. All sold seperately at xxx price.

While for AEM, it's more universal, so for future proofing, as long as sensors are 5V, you can put in any sensor regardless if it comes from ford, toyota, honda, etc.

Can convert to from MAF to MAP or MAP to MAF

Of course, unless you DIY, it's not really a good choice, you practically have to rewire your car at the ECU harness.

The AEM EMS not 5 digit AFAIK. 3-4K thereabouts incl. shipping and tax, wideband included, installation not included.
http://bisimoto.com/store/index.php?main_p...products_id=667

USD899, where got 5 digit? Of course, this is old series one ECU, but still supports 10 injector, 5 ignition outputs already, enough for coil on plug and staged injection.

http://www.aemelectronics.com/engine-manag...ment-system-90/
Top of the line model, about 7-9K, but include everything installation and stuff, probably 10K+.

If want to run coil on plug, no need top of the line, just EMS-4 or series 2 PNP system.
Already looked at EMS-4 at ken's racing shop. But for now, need cams first.

But looking at the spec sheet of the series 2 EMS, feel like want, but I doubt I'll use most of the features available in the series 2 EMS.

The plan to go AEM EMS is still a faraway goal.


Added on July 17, 2012, 3:13 pmHere's another thing on my want list, but will never buy. Unless somehow got suddenly F**King rich.

It seems the OEM air box is optimized for balanced torque all round. So I think I'll just throw in a drop-in for now and see how goes.

K&N or Pipercross? decisions...decisions.

I'm within the PJ area. Know any good exhaust shops? Want to do a de-cat.

K&N is cotton if not mistaken...

good example of a stainless steel filter is the Blitz SUS or the UTR Steel mesh filters...

Everco has the best welder around. His welding is like OEM/Japanese Aftermarket welding.
If you already got the test pipe, any shop can do it I think.

I'm also going to run a 2.5" test pipe. currently still on 2.25, even with my 2.7" exhaust.

Civic body is too big lol. Jazz is good and cute. Personally not sporty enough, but some people say it is. Different tastes I guess

It's probably a 2.7inch one. Apparently Japanese don't have 2.5" piping. My exhaust from kakimoto also from japan using 2.7" tubing...

Great! and Thanks, I'm going to go check it out next week.
