Mods to improve responsiveness

[epshtielsl]

when i installed my turbo the gain was also quite noticeable......

hahaha I'll bet

[civsirmt]

will esmm realli improve response? if so im gettn them only $25 from showstoppers last time i checked

they are a great addition u will not be disappoited.....no more wheel hop

Hm, so RH and Intake with a stock exhaust has pretty high gains? Better than stock headers and aftermarket catback?

Emissions tho.....

So far I'm thinking

BCSS
Flywheel
ESMM
Torque Dampner.... Damn this is getting expensive haha!

this is arounda 800$ upgrade but skunk2 cam gears and cams will really help you out.

Cam gears are worthless on this engine...

You only get a flywheel if you are already replacing the clutch. Don't drop your fucking trannsmission to only put in a flywheel. It is just fucking stupid. You are gonna pay normally atleast 400 just for labor to install it when you can install it for the same labor if you are replacing the clutch. Replace flywheel on your list with a RH and you don't need a tq damper cuz you don't make enough power to justify it. Replace that with a CAI and call it a day.

Don't forgot the throttle cable adjustment...I still need to do mine but scared if I tighten it too much

Anyone have the DIY link?.. can't find the original thread since the crash.

If you plan on getting a race header (the DCRH at least) definately install the ESMM while you're at it. The flex pipe has been known to tear. ESMM eliminates this problem.

If he is going to be putting on the RH then the Engine TD would be justified. Yeah the ESMM's are more economical, but accomplish the same goal.

Little words of advice...SAVE FOR BOOST!....or pay off the car first. If you don't think that any of these things are worth your your money, then save for what u believe to be worth it. But maybe you should hook-up w/ someone that has the I/RH/E set-up and make your judgement then.

esmm is the best mod for any ep3 or rsx. after the easy install it feels like whole new car.

ESMM

Hondata Airbox mod is a really good mod for "responsivness". You won't get the power that you would get from a CAI but the throttle response in lower RPM's is much better.

Once you gut the box throw in a K&N filter and you're good to go.

Coming from someone who has had it all I will tell you that 300 dollars in parts will not make a significant difference in the car regardless of what you get. Yeah esmm are great for the price but will not get you anywhere in the grand scheme of things. My personal reccomendation is drop atleast 2k or don't waste your time. Putting on a bcss,cai, and esmm will not make you happy in the long run. But everyone has their own goals...make your own choice.
