first things first - good first mod for the EP?

[pjnoto]

I just picked up my ep yesterday. I am officially out of cash. I want to know what you guys think is the first mod i should do to squeeze out a little more power. I am tight on cash but i have a little left and this car is worth putting it into. Thanks!

[shelbz]

most people start with an intake. I recommend the AEM CAI. sounds good in higher rpm's, adds a liiittle bit of power, and is one of the cheaper mods out there.

Injen Cold air intake...it is 3 inches..

[shadowmd]

injen MR cold air :mcool: or just get an ebay cai and a k&n filter (same as AEM and a hell of a lot cheaper)

[pjnoto]

Thanks alot guys. I think im gonna pick one up off ebay.

[Fico]

i have an ebay cai its just the same as the other ones with a dinkyer filter and like 100bux cheaper

Definitely agree, I got an Ebay short ram instead. It was $40 and sounds great. But gutting the stock airbox is prolly close to the same performance and free. As far as cheap mods go I would say these are the top 5.
Energy Suspension Motor Mount Inserts (ESMM)- $25
RSX-s 19mm rear sway - Prolly around $60 from clubrsx.com
Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket (IMG) - $60
Aluminum shifter bushings - $20 from clubrsx forums
Brake pads - hawk hps or whatever the other brand is $70 i think

And removing weight is the best performance mod youll actually notice, Interior Gut-free

Also this shouldnt be in the dyno section.

[pjnoto]

my bad, i figured that since it dealt with a power increase it could be considered in the dyno section.

only bad thing with ebay is they have no carb numbers so. but yeah i vote for ebay also.

what does that mean?

also, please post up some ebay auctions, i can't seem to find EP specific intakes. would DC5 ones work?

[kprocivic]

i dont know how it is on canada, but out here no carb number= illegal.

yes dc5 will work

a used aem/injen cai is just as good as a new one imo
just get a new filter

esmm's are a great upgrade, but are a pain to install

05-06 type-s rear sway bar (21mm) = my favorite suspension upgrade ever
cheap and makes VERY noticeable difference in handling

[skooba]

so you say you basically have no money, and then ask how you can spend money?

just save up more and be satisfied w/ what you have.

1) Remove your front brake splash shields, this coast nothing and really helps the brakes.
2) 05-06 type-s rear sway and bushings(like 80 bucks), really helps the car around turns.
3) crash bolts+ a preformance alinment(25 bolts,70 alinment) takes the car to the next level in handleing.

for hp....
Go to crsx and get a used cai for the type-s( they are 3 inchs and they fit), they can be found for like 80 bucks.:mwink:

you can buy my turbo kit first:mangel:

Psshh:violin:You guys are wasting this poor guy's time. Dude first mod should be a fucking airplane rocket hidden under the rear bumper. Don't fuck around with these stupid intake/exhaust mods...They are a complete waste of time.
