The "what have you done to your DC5 this weekend" thread

[Crazylegs]

Bought some Shell Helix Ultra from Opie Oils and an OEM filter and OEM replacement air filter from Cox Motors, arrived yesterday.

Going into the garage next Tuesday for a mini service.

Will the new air filter improve throttle response at all?

 

[Alexander0628]

Done a mini service oil, oil filter, pollen filter and plugs ready for the dyno run tomorow


I am slightly annoyed tho as I was assuming there was pollen filters in there, but opened it up and empty, car was imported in 2008 I gess neither of the two previous owners borthed lol. As they say Neva assume but hey ho modded the cases and new ones fitted .

 

[maxvr6]

Fitted my Progress ARB, and gave it a quick hoover and wash

 

[mil1lion]

Got the Kakimoto exhaust fitted and paired it up with the EPR neo chrome tow hook

Got mine mapped by Romain, Surrey rolling road dyno. Really surprised and happy with the results as we were expecting between 220-230 bhp:

JDM K20a 75k
Gruppe M
Tegiwa Header
Fujitsubo rm01a
kpro

It's all we get in Ireland unfortunately. E85 went long ago and E5 is even gone. Rubbish, poor quality fuels is all you get over here. I was running octane booster in mine.

 

[ForgedV]

vPower, it's all I have ever used in my imports.

 

[Crazylegs]

I'm telling you guys, these cars run better on 95 or 97 octane fuel I've been saying it all along ha ha!

Mine flies on the Asda 97 RON stuff.

Great power figures there too, really impressive you must be well happy with that.

sure you haven't got a ep3 engine in your teg.. that would love asda 95/97 ron.. lol

I mostly gave it a hiding around Spa Francorchamps.

247 without RBC? good result either way

Yes, 247 on standard inlet manifold and standard throttle body. Romain and I were as shocked as you are. On the power run with standard ecu and bolt on mods it made 222bhp, then with the kpro on and mapped 247. Thank you.

Makes you wonder if it's had any internal work done in it's previous life? As said by everyone else, very good figures. Makes you wonder if you fitted maybe an RRC with bigger TB and put it on the TDI rollers whether we'd have a forum record for those kind of bolt on mods!

 

[ForgedV]

That was mine and romaine's theory, there are no obvious signs of internal work though, and the car only had a gruppe m and mugen twinloop when I purchased it. Seems a bit strange for it to have any internal mods with very little done.

The car has always been on the forum and was imported through torque gt, serviced by tgm and was told by the previous owner that Tom complimented how clean the internals looked when doing valve clearances. I put that down to having regular oil changes and just well looked after?

Rrc and throttle body may be on the cards some point in the future.

Doubt TDI's rollers would help push the numbers up, Surrey RR seem to be pretty comparable in terms of output (measured BHP) for the given mods.

 

[civic17_99]

That's a really good figure. Didn't realise Romain did mapping at Surrey RR as well.

One thing I Learnt from romain the other day about inlet manifolds is if you have the rest of the bolt ons (induction exhaust and exhaust manifold and a tune) and you have say an rbc fitted with around 240bhp,changing the rbc to an rrc or skunk 2 won't gain you any power as there is no longer any restrictions in the breathing system. If you ONLY had an intake manifold then yes the rrc will slightly outperform the rbc but not if the rest of the mods are done. Basically he said once these engines have all the bolt ons with a good flowing exhaust the real full potential of the engine is revealed,that number being around 240bhp give or take a few.
