pritesh Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Alright ppls, can anyone shed some light on increasing the performance of a standard Type-R besdies the usual add ons : forced air induction, exhaust. Has anyone managed to gain significant more performance from an ECU chip etc? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrepaul99 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Its not publicised but ive been informed the i-VETEC-R is capable of putting up with 9k revs with re-programming of the ECU,Superchips or similar this will of course increase the revrange/power approx 15% from standard. I have driven TYPE R's with aftermarket exaust wich was little difference and peformance air filter which seemed to affect bottom end power more than top end for some strange reason. Whatever you do be careful as the warranty will be voided if you have any (honda will know how many revs the car was doing as it went bang, via ECU plug in!) regular mobil 1 oil changes (6k recommended) and if you can afford it some engine balancing may be in order too for long life!

ChrisBuer Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 There's a supercharged CTR in Essex with the number plate Killa. Apparently it shifts!! Not sure of the BHP though but it must be pushing out a fair old whack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjvti Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Killa's Civic Type r was blown up at Santa Pod a while back. Blew a rod straight throught the side of the block. Hes now running a Turbo capable of 400bhp but having big issues with it. Sleeves sank and coolant and oil everywhere. Civics are easy to tune only if you know what you are doing.

[/ QUOTE ] Killer's car did not blow up at Santa Pod. The only problem he has had, was that the company that did the machining on his block did not do a particularly good job which led to a sunken sleeve. There are absolutely no issues with his turbo whatsoever. In fact he won this years Rotorstock event, won the RWYB at Santa Pod on 24th/25th June, and was also runner up in the Pro Class for Jap Show in June. Well done Killer!!!

[/ QUOTE ] Hope you found the bits you wanted on the CTR forum, but the best induction kit is the Gruppe M(expensive), then in no particular order, Comtech IceBox(Box, sounds stock), ITG(Box), AEM CAI(open cone, noisy) or Mugen(Box).
