Hi again,

Im very amatuer when it comes to modding and tuning, I have a stock standard dc5 apart from tegiwa carbon intake and 5zigen exhaust system, I believe the manifold is standard as is the inlet.

Is it essential to get all the exhaust and inlet changed before mapping with a kpro or k100, will there not be any difference just by mapping my car as is?

Just spoke to a really helpful guy at Honda-R in oxford who suggested replacing complete exahaust, RBC inlet and other stuff before even considering a map.

Sounds like I need to spend some serious money if so in order to achieve around 245bhp.

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't say its essential, you could map the car completely standard, and will see gains, just not as much.
I guess it all depends what you want from it, and how much money you have to spend.

Also peak figures aren't the fun part of the map for me.

You might only see 10-15 bhp increase at top end, but easily 25bhp in the mid range, transforming the while drive!

Personally, I'd say you at least want an exhaust manifold - the tegiwa one works well. RBC inlet mani is probably worth a few ponies but isn't essential.

ok thanks guys, I have my eye on an RBC inlet manifold, do I also need an uprated throttle body?

So is it worth replacing the entire exhaust system or just manifold?

Uprated throttle body isn't worth the extra money in my opinion as there is hardly any gain. RBC and exhaust manifold will help a lot and of course a 2.5" or 3" exhaust would compliment it further

That's what I'm aiming for with mine. RBC, Decent manifold into a 3" system, Kpro/k100 and a map!

Does anyone have any input regarding the difference of K100 and Kpro?

Kpro you get to create your own maps and datalog. K100, you can't.
