Bought my usdm ep3 back in the mid-2000's because I couldn't afford to buy the other performance cars of the era. Turned out to be one of my favorite cars I've owned. Still haven't modded it but one day I'll do a turbo k20/24 swap build.

Depends on the goal of the car. If it's for track use I'd get a proper wheel and tyre setup. If it's for road fun then maybe an exhaust and intake and lowering springs. If it's track only then sell the cat😜

Are you based in the US? If so, the RSX Type S has the K20a2 that the UK Type R has. The Type R Kit would help with the looks for sure!

Just a question at 3:07 your little bushings that go on either side of the large round control arm bushing seem to be upside down, compared to the super pro website or did you do that on purpose?

Hey Olly, For the tyres - would you consider 225/40/17? I've slapped on some gc101g's on mine and was considering that spec, but currently running safe with 215/45/17.

Once mapped, how much power would the performance mods make?

With it being N/A, don't expect big numbers. You should see a 40hp peak power gain. I gained 50hp in the midrange though! That transformed the car!

Great video, on the performance part how much would a ecu and map add to the £2000 does anyone know?

@OllyRoss

10 ай бұрын

It depends on which ECU and mapper you choose really. Roughly I would say it’s another £1000-£1500

Couple of comments. If you're adding the engine mods obviously you'll be getting it mapped which means u won't need the spacer for o2 sensor as its mapped out so u won't get a warning light. In terms of your suspension mods a thicker front anti roll bar is the exact opposite of what u want, a thicker rear anti roll bar helps the front turn in better whereas a thicker front anti roll bar actually gives a bit more tendency for understeer.

@OllyRoss

8 ай бұрын

I guess it depends on when you are planning to get it mapped. Right away, then yeah, it is unnecessary. However, if there is a gap between install and mapping, just having the light off on the dash is worth having the spacer. Haha! The front anti roll bar isn't a thicker one, it is a different shape to allow for JDM designed exhaust manifolds to fit as the JDM EP3 had a different standard manifold design to the UKDM cars
