JDM DC5r headers on AUDM DC5r

[tofu]

no i really do mean it.
when i had my base auto, MrThanh and i were trying to get that 100kw atw benchmark in a base auto...lol
i did aus dc5r header+cat, powergetter catback and vafc2...still didn't get 100kw

[Tiu]

where can we pick up one of these jdm headers from? is there online site which sells honda parts or something?

[tofu]

you had to chop the powergetter exhaust to fit?

[MrThanh]

i suppose the exhaust wouldve been chopped if it was on the base DC5 originally.

[tofu]

ah of course...
I thought you installed the powergetter at the same time you installed the jdm header/cat...because that would have fit perfectly.

[Kyo]

waha, that header looks like in top condition.. sounds like a great investment

i might bag the other header from yonas

[Tiu]

did u also get the swaybar so the headers can fit right?

[Kyo]

had whiteline swaybar already, the non adjustable one, fits perfectly
yeah give yonas a call, they dont look as new as mine but they are in just as good condition

ya, going to inspect the header tmr avro

whiteline sway better than ep3?

[Kyo]

aha thx mate! might pickup the sway bar from yonas too, let u guys know how it goes

[Kyo]

OK, I finally get around brought a jdm dc5r header from one of the ozhonda member, the header is in fairly good condition (30000km according to the seller). But one of the bolt joins the 4-2 and 2-1 section was snapped during dismantle for transport, and he assured that it can be easily repaired from any workshop.

Now I'm in market for a EP3R sway bar and planing to get the header installed next weekend. Before I call the workshop, I got a few question would like to ask:

1. Can I re-use the K20A3 header gasket with the JDM header?
2. Is there a gasket between the cat and catback? Can I re-use the stock one?
3. Do I need a O2 sensor extension? If so, where can I find one.
4. I have a custom catback atm. Where can I find a exhuast flange to suit the jdm cat (larger diameter?).

Thanks

[air23box]

1. yes
2. no...I dun use any....dunno about others tho
3. yes you may....you can ask ur mechanic to custom extend it
4. you dun need one....it will just bolt on....

someone correct me if I am wrong...but I use both AUDM, JDM, Mugen header and they all fit the same exhaust......

1. Can I re-use the K20A3 header gasket with the JDM header? - yeah
2. Is there a gasket between the cat and catback? Can I re-use the stock one? - there isnt one but u can use one if u want
3. Do I need a O2 sensor extension? If so, where can I find one. - westside mufflers just extended the wires no need to buy a kit
4. I have a custom catback atm. Where can I find a exhuast flange to suit the jdm cat (larger diameter?). - ur exhaust shop will bolt ur custom catback up with a new flange because where ur exhaust connects to ur current cat is longer than it has to be

[Kyo]

Thanks guys! Knew i should ask first

So the workshop should have a flange for jdm cat?
And do I need to reset the ecu after install header?
Also, I want to replace the rear sway bar at the sametime, do I need ep3r rear or jdm dc5r rear bar?


cheers

[prusso]

got a whiteline swaybar for the rear
and i didnt reset the ecu

[Kyo]

ok thanks prusso,

i'm getting price on a set of whitelines (font and rear)

also i did further research on clubrsx, ep3r font and jdm dc5r rear (22m) sway bar seens to be a good combo, am i better of getting these?
