Noob needing help with DC5 mods

[93civicsi]

Hey guys, i recently purchased a DC5r and am looking to do a few mods

Car has:
KPro Ecu
Apexi SAFCII Air-Flow Converter (no idea what that does)
Injen Cold Air Intake
5Zigen International Pro-Racer 2.5inch Cat-back Exhaust

I am thinking of buying some extractors/headers and possibly a intake manifold or ITB's
I'm pretty new to the K series engines and have no idea on what brand and what type of mods to get.

Anyone keen to lend a hand and point me in the right direction.?

I was looking at these but have no idea how good they are http://www.karcepts.com/shop/product.php?id_product=58

If price is no issue toda is the way to go as amazing gains.

Mugen are also good headers

If you want performance for money I would recommend skunk2

Lol, im so lost at the moment. So much smack talk about all other brands "via google" and i think i just might need to take a leap of faith and purchase one.

If you do let us know how it goes mate

Research is always hard to see the truth and the bs between slander

Thanks for the help Batchy, i think im going to take the plunge and buy the K-Tune 4-1 Headers.

My question is why you have a aftermarket ecu "kpro" with a piggy back system "Apexi SAFCII Air-Flow Converter "

Check that you actually have a Kpro ecu! My moneys on you be lied to.

Also Google would give you a answer on what it does. But basically its used to tune a car with a non reprogrammable ECU.
Hence my question why you have a programmable ECU and a piggy back system!

[93civicsi]

Ummm.....no idea...........

[Karl]

pull the plastic off left hand front foot well and have a look to see if you actually have a Kpro

Roger that, brb.

Extractors:
Bang for buck:
PLM or Tegiwa 4-2-1, these two eliminate your catalytic converter so you will need one

Reasonable pricing:
TODA headers, usually 1k-1.2k second hand and usually come with a cat

Ballr:
ASP custom headers

ITB's Are a defect and if cops pop ur bonnet ur F**ked mate

Intake manifold:
Alot of people run the RBC i/m, others run the RRC (FD2R) which in most cases can be hard to source

to to clarify - ALL of the above modifications are illegal and defectable, it is just that ITBs are much more obvious than a header upgrade...

Hahah yes tinker bell you're right mate, itb's like you said are the most obvious mod

[93civicsi]

Yep i got the KPro. So yeah lol.

[Jaydous]

Yep i got the KPro. So yeah lol.

Definitely got the KPro Brett!

Just my 2 cents - Toda headers were my next step and then a proper tune. I look forward to seeing where you take this car.

Btw, welcome.
