Nice man! Sounds like a pretty sweet car!

I love an EP3 I'm a massive fan of your build. Your channel is what convinced me to buy mine in the end. When I got mine I fully intended to modify it but with how much I enjoy it stock and with how few miles it has on the clock (under 46k!) I've left it alone.

That is so wild man! I am glad it has lived up to how I made it come across on videos. Thanks! Jheeze, I can see why you haven't done anything with it!

Final drive definitely worth doing aswell

Man. On my 250k mile EP3, I'm just wondering when I'll find the time to address all the normal wear and tear items. Hopefully this summer, but I've been saying that for the past 5 years. Best stock car I've ever owned, just keeps going.

I recently purchased a work truck, so that is my daily now,my EP3 si is now on jack stands, not to stress myself I begun the tear down in sections, like a big puzzle, a little at a time, once u begin u start picturing the light at the end of tunnel...trust me once u start you'll feel glad u finally started

@@randyluna8472 yeah, can't wait. Got about every common leak going on and I know one (maybe both) of my CV boots kicked out grease a long time back. Couldn't find a tear in the boots, so I just cleaned it up. Muffler rusted off ages ago. Tried a cherry bomb last summer, but the entire exhaust was so corroded that it broke off where I attached the muffler with the u-bolt. Thankfully I hung the muffler. Definitely gonna be some work, but damn it's a fun car to drive. Got my wife a 2023 Bolt EUV a couple months back and that instant torque is cool and it's a comfy road tripped, but if it wasn't for the price of gas, I'd be taking my EP3 on road trips. So much more fun. I get so bored driving a modern car, let alone an EV. lol

@myrealnamedoesntfit I began buying parts about a year ago, I pace myself so I don't break the bank, I buy quality parts even though it's a little more expensive but having great reliable parts work best plus they last alot longer, I do alot of research and always try to source the best price, it's a process for sure but take ur time, have fun plus it's a good learning experience & in the end you'll be able to say I did the work myself & it will be that much better, these are fun cars for sure plus it's pretty cool cuz there's not that much left around where I live, it's a forgotten jewel, can't wait to roll it out super clean & restored to it's natural glory

@@OllyRoss I got it mapped by Romain on your advice and I have not been disappointed! It is a total game changer right?! So impressed with the power in 1st and 2nd gear now specifically but more power everywhere. I've gone for haltech elite so still having some fun setting up launch control and shift lights myself and want to get oil and coolant sensors in next - the OEM temp gauge doesn't work with Haltech so have got no idea how hot she is (Romain did however set a Rev limiter to 3k if coolant overheats so should be safe). Honestly mate, this whole project was off the back of following your channel, I always wanted an EP3 but seeing you doing it - the ups and downs - really inspired me and shaped what I did to mine. Thank you!

Hey guys, I really need your help! Just bought beautiful OZ 16 x 7.5j et37 rims for my ep1 Tried mounting those without the tires(haven't bought them but I think of buying 205 55) I'm afraid they will rub with the inside part of the wheel(not the top of the arch but the inner side of the tire). If anyone had an experience of 7.5j et37 rims on ep1 please respond!!!

So I got excited before doing research and bought the spoon down pipe and exhaust is there a way to get 3 in headers and keep the spoon cat to make gains

@OllyRoss

Ай бұрын

The short answer is no... however, I am pretty sure the Spoon header has no cat in it, it's just a resonator. I don't think the 4-2-1 will make too much difference though. Adding a 3" cat back would probably be enough to see gains. Each exhaust port of K20 cylinders is 2" I believe.

I've got most of those things you've suggested except lsd (need a good reason to drop gearbox) and inlet manifold. It's hard to find a good inlet for a decent price these days so it's delaying me from getting a map.

@OllyRoss

28 күн бұрын

(I could be wrong here) I don't think you can unless you have something like ITB's. The reason the cross over is so obvious is because Honda mapped in a dip in power at the cross over to make it more obvious, this actually hurts the performance though. Ideally you want it to be as seamless as possible as that is the most efficient which means better performance.

Mine doesn’t actually pop or flame anymore, that was just one run on the dyno. I believe that it needs to be mapped in if you want it like I had it with my Spoon exhaust. It may do it without a ECU remap if you have a 4-2-1 manifold
