JDM Y0 - My new project **** PG36 - Breaking ****

[mr bognor]

From Civic Typr R site

ENGINE:
K20A Specification *
Peak Power Output (kW [ PS ] /rpm) - 158 [ 215 ] /8,000 *
Peak Torque Output (N m [ kg m ] /rpm) - 202 [ 20.6 ] /7,000 *

The JDM engine has an uprated engine containing JDM springs, valves, pistons
etc plus it does indeed have a smaller cat.
Different gear ratios and mapping in the Japanese car, along with a
different intake and exhaust manifolds as well.

212bhp as standard, but apparently some make very surprising figures.

Massively different in power compared to my UK one, and revving to like 9k as well! Insane!

Thanks, already been posted though Peak power at 8k! LOL

To come -

Spoon N1 Back box

Not usually fussed on the pre facelifts but does look like a tidy example

I had a Spoon n1 modded to fit on my civic sport, loved the noise it made. Sounds wayyyyyyyyyy better on a type r tho.

Nice car

I love these, hardly see any about too. I think I'd still have an EK9 over one though!

[imprezaworks]

Like this. Is it hugely noticable performance wise over a uk one? Been tempted to get one a few times

Yeh massive difference. Some would say they dont warrant the extra price you pay but meh!

[Adam.P]

Absolutley love this!

Always had a soft spot after my step mum had one, she got bored and supercharged it though! Love the driving position and how the gear lever is mounted. She had a buddy club exhaust on hers, oh my days it was loud!

I don't think living in the same town as Buddy Club helped her bank account.

Thanks mate

New badge arrived today - Genuine of course

[Adam.P]

How expensive compared to Renaults £40-£50 for the new style R.S badge if you don't mind me asking?

[aucky]

Make sure you fit the badge in the right place! I've seen a fair few f**k ups.

N1s are ridiculously loud for what they are. I saw a lad fail noise limits at Oulton, I'm sure he just had a backbox lol.

Does the JDM come with a DC5 flywheel too?

[Silent_Scone]

ooo, I've only just spotted this, only read OP but definitely plus points over your original one mate. Looks great in white.

[172Ben]

Won on ebay for £19.

Only around £25 ish from Honda

This has made up my mind . Will be getting a EP3 type R now ( Not a JDM one )

Ben how did you rate your EP3 as a daily drive ???

[172Ben]

Absolutely fine mate. They are quite happy pottering around in 6th gear

[imprezaworks]

I am tempted to try one, just cant bring myself to sell mine.

[172Ben]

If you are ever at a meet ill take you for a spin

[mr bognor]

Ah good off to look at a silver one in Bournemouth at the weekend and a black one on Sunday .

Anything to look out for bar the second gear when cold and steering rack pulling to one side ?

Not really, just usual stuff. Check the oil.

Make sure it engages vtec properly. Otherwise they are pretty reliable.
