My DC5R

Nice mods. Going to the track soon to test them out? I would be very inerested on how you rate the LSD as I have been thinking about going to a clutch type LSD one day if I have to change my clutch.

[wuism]

yes.. i will be going track end of this month....

ecu is coming prob next week.... RCA installed next week as well.

[mugsee]

I like your taste in mods!

Hows the 5.1 FD compare to the stock? Huge noticeable gains on the street? I'll be interested to see how it affects your gearing on the track.

Also, what ECU did you end up opting for?

[wuism]

Got a hondata.... the plug n play idea was 2 much of a allure, plus the cost as well.

currently for 2 corners, i go off vtec, so.. hopefully with this, i will stay on vtec....
the 5.1 is only 6-7% shorter than stock, but i like it so far.

Been nursing the car around till my MTF comes in. Not supposed to break in with incorrect oil. This is wat ATS told me.

This month has made me broke..... so sad..

Don't Worry man, I owe you $50
that's 1/3rd of the track day cost
ahhaha

Nice choice. Tuning it yourself?

Btw, heres something new and interesting:

[EK4R]

notice any huge difference with the 5.1 FD during acceleration and daily?

[wuism]

see wat i can do myself, but no real honda tuner in perth. hondata dist is like 2 hr drive away.
have a calibration with similar mods already, so i think i'll work off that. have to dyno to check a/f ratios once i get it. will post a dyno with stock ecu and hondata when i dyno.

5.1 FD is actually quite nice for DD. I mean you shift more, however the jump isn't that bad from a 4.7.
cruising on the freeway is not extremely high, sits at 3400rpm at 100 kmph. I think the FD is a good mod exp for dc5/ep3 as it is really cheap (OEM honda CRV? uses 5.1 FD).
Well worth it if you get a clutch and fly.

[mugsee]

Awesome

I don't know everything but have had an extensive play around with kpro and am willing to share ideas/etc. with what I know. Hit me up if you need to.

Btw, are you running off a rsx map or audm dc5r map?

[wuism]

yeh cheers for that.

will be running map from audm dc5r with same power mods pretty much.

how much did you get yours for? FD i meant, and why didnt you just grab the CRV one compare to say spoon like you did

[wuism]

i got my fd for less than 400 aud....

i'm sure the spoon one is OEM honda one..... as the part number on the spoon box is a oem honda part number.

even the bearing is oem part number, but with a spoon sticker

[mugsee]

Cool - my input was going to be that RSX maps run higher ignition values that make my car ping (better fuel there? altitudes? misc?)

I think your right about the spoon FD being an OEM FD - I call Jing mentioning to me somewhere that the Spoon FD is the same as the CRV one.

Seeing you are using a different tune with "similar" mods make sure you do a few power runs as these values will change due to the different FD.

Thats what the gear compensation table is for.
