thanks bro.
but for auto open pod or drop in would be better for my condition?

drop in

then is CAI a necessary? or make no diff for drop in?

CAI is not necessary, it is up to you whether you wanna install or not if you use drop in.

is simota same as work engineering usa?
any comment on redline drop in?

if drop in then dont bother
if open pod not nessaseries but cai is recomended
open pod plus hot afternoon and traffic jam suck the most

For drop in, all of them more or less perform the same
You can even try UR's metal mesh drop in air filter as well (contact EA)

Just choose the affordable ones and you're good to go (Simota OEM) <---contact EA/maddriver

Note: Did you install any LCP? LCP you definitely can feel low end torque improve

Simota OEM around RM2k?

ok will get an affordable one. thanks

as for LCP, no.
how much is it to install one? labour + item - Jasma or any recommended brand?
i know that maddriver selling one very expensive for me.

I think his is mythelogy

i would recon K&N over Simota. not to say that simota isnt good. drex they all should carry the them i tink.

but i had the chance to dyno with K&N and Simota b4. on the same day, same tuning. jst swapping the filters. but mine was CONE la.

difference margin between 1-2horsies

another brand which i think its worth getting is AEM.

Mythology is way over budget for me.
I would like to know if other lcp works too.
Any one who used before jasma lcp can give some comment?
Thanks

i dont use any of jasma brand. the quality is really questionable..

the fact that they named their brand jasma makes me think they want to trick people into thinking that it is a japan brand when it is based somewhere in terengganu. what a corny marketing technique

works engineering crank pulley is more promising although its not really recommended to install LCP cos no harmonic damper like OEM to absorb torsion force acted on the crankshaft by piston movement

engine balancing also cant eliminate harmonic imbalance cos it reduces translational vibration, not torsional vibration

if u concern of longevity of the engine, not worth taking the risk on lightened crank pulley. race engine the odds dont matter cos it is rebuilt in short period anyway

but i agree it is strictly subjective cos the risk is different on different engine. just thot u should know what u dealing with

quick question guys.. planning to upgrade my persona exhaust system.. but i notice there is this single wire tat goes into one of the exhaust pipes viewable whn u open the bone to the engine.. wat wire is tat?

the stock exhaust tat comes with the car is 4-1?

that is for the o2 sensor... required...

If i wan to upgrade my exhaust system can i do piping and muffler first then only change the header?

hello,im kinda noobie but i did read everything
im driving honda city 3G vtec.

i wonder how you guys define high end revv thingy ?

does that mean if I drive from a certain RPM and above is consider high end ? Such as drive till RPM 4k-5k ? engine will spoil ? they said Vtec activated at 5k RPM something like this ?

Can someone explain to me more? thanks and regard

high end = 5k and above

You need to know that the only "real" VTEC are found in Honda Type-R engines. Those VTEC found in City/Civic/Accord are just a marketing ploy (Toyota calls it VVTI, Nissan has got some other names for it - I forgotten, lol). It has the technology but it's not the "real" high revving VTEC engine. Plus, I don't think your VTEC activates at 5k rpm because it's not easy to continuously rev your engine at 5K rpm for all gears. Even my previous ride on K24A, the VTEC might be activated in low 2K-3K rpm's.

You need to sit on a proper Type-R engine to understand what VTEC is really all about and is originally intended to be
