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

[mr bognor]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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!

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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!

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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.

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Thanks mate

New badge arrived today - Genuine of course

 

[Adam.P]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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

 

[aucky]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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?

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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

Won on ebay for £19.

Only around £25 ish from Honda

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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

 

[imprezaworks]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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

 

[mr bognor]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

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 ?

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Not really, just usual stuff. Check the oil.

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

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

How do you find it as a direct comparison to the clio? Assuming you had one prior to the previous type r's?

Would hope so with a name like 172ben.

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Difficult to compare against the clio as that was stripped and on ITB's

TypeR is nuts top speed, had it at 8.5k in 6th gear the other night and was still pulling. But the JDM has a shorter gearbox ratio.

Clio was faster up to 100 easily, a UKDM type r will handle better with a few choice mods, and independant rear suspension also feels awesome.

 

[imprezaworks]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Ah okay. Got mates with one but havent really driven it long enough to give it a fair comparison.

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

JDM flare arrived from Japan

 

[JackJack]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Mint! Best colour for a civic imo. What's the flare thing all about?

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Its the law to have one in the car in Japan - Translation is abit iffy but you get the idea -

Due to Japanese traffic regulations, every Japanese car needs to have an ‘emergency flare’. This is basically a piece of firework that can be ignited the way you lit a match.

You use this flare when you are in an accident or when your car broke down next to a road. You lit the flare and place it on the ground a few metres away from your car. It will burn for about an hour and gives you enough visibility for other traffic users.

I had the bracket but no flare, so as i want it back to O/E i need to get one

 

[JackJack]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

I see sounds better than those little triangles.

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

New badge fitted - what a pain!!

Your ITB'd clio I'm assuming, not standard ?

JDM is nice, but I can't get over how dated the front end is. I'll keep looking for that cosmic.

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Yeh standard the JDM is faster

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Nice car, I have a Cosmic Grey Premier model, though was tempted by the JDM model to get the Torsen LSD as standard, this is why the steering feels different. But could only find one very overpriced face lift JDM for sale as I prefer it to the pre facelift car.

I believe the steering comes in for more criticism than is deserved, it's a quick accurate rack with a nice weight that's sensitive to tracking as it runs little caster, therefore the toe & camber are critical to preserve the feel getting through. Supposedly Honda addressed the issue by recalibrating the steering on facelifts as well as fitting the JDM flywheel on UK cars, shame they didn't go whole hog and fit the LSD.

Yes a hydraulic rack can offer more feel but then drive an older car with our assistance & you get even more but often at the expense of quickness as too quick a rack makes the car hard to manoeuvre at low speeds.

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

LOL. Well, thought I would just share with you being a fellow CTR owner but nevermind then.

GL with the JDM. Looks ace.

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

LOL, was just abit weird is all :d

Does look good mate

 

[Wilkeh]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Haha ok mate fair enough, not sure why I posted now. Suppose I just thought you would appreciate a modded CTR with you owning a JDM that's all.

I'd love a JDM but insurance is a killer, yours looks absolutely fantastic. Don't think I've seen an interior that clean on one before! With you owning a EDM CTR before does the LSD on the JDM make a massive difference?

 

[172Ben]

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Defo appreciate it

Thanks mate, LSD makes a big difference yeh. Its weird to get used to driving it, but the pull out of corners is amazing!!

Just realised you're in SOT! I think im after your standard suspension parts????

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project

Yes that's me mate

You can blame JimWu on here for the lack of photos! They're in the boot of his P1 but he's gone and blown the crank on it so it's in the garage. I need to go down and get them out lol
