very true. my ctr was never mapped (hadn't got around to it, plus i didn't have a huge amount of mods fitted to make it really worth it) but i put the basic cold-air map on it and it made the car so much more drivable. acceleration was sooo smooth, much better torque and improved mpg to boot!knobosaurus said:Even on stock setups, kpro tunes or even a simple reflash can get you modest increses. The link describes a k20a2 but a k20a would be very similar.

Thanks for the link mate, I shall take a good look over it thank you. Crazy how it works so well even on stock setups.knobosaurus said:Even on stock setups, kpro tunes or even a simple reflash can get you modest increses. The link describes a k20a2 but a k20a would be very similar.

Ha ha don't worry I will!! I see a lot of people saying that they prefer VTEC coming in earlier, I don't personally. I've got a B20 EK9 at the moment which is going in as part ex against the DC5 and VTEC is mapped to engage at 4800 revs. I don't like it that early tbh.Mark_teg said:I'd say enjoy the car for a while first
if it were me id just get it and put a cold air map on it from the standard list. then when more mods go on the car id map it then.Mike.A said:Of course if you make any power upgrades later on you'll want to get it mapped again. I think I might wait until I can get a few upgrades at the same time and get it all mapped together.
Mine came with the car, In 4 years i have never had the inclination to take it off. Always liked the note.integraleo said:Also if you ever want to release some hp from the engine you will have to stop strangling it with the twinloop.
I've never understood the fascination with those.I had a twinloop on my old dc2 as it came with the car when I bought it. I swapped it for an n1 style exhaust within a month.
