Ok... Have a good one. Lol!

Anyone?:sad2:

Hello mates, anyone know what reading should my o2 and intake manifold pressure read if my engine is running well (not too rich nor lean)? Thanks. James

None, just planning to remove pre-cat, swapped crankshaft to light weight and installed an SIMOTA Dragon (similar design to K&N Apollo). What does it means for a car to go mad with profile and have lumpy tickover that surges? Thanks. J

Mates, my ride is a CIVIC FD1 AT. with an R18A engine. Anyone have any idea what a Sports CAMSHAFT change would do to it? Thanks in advance. J

Gurus/Masters, I am thinking of removing the CAT (not the one at the mid pipe) but the one shown in the picture (pic 1) of my R18A (CIVIC FD1 AT). For an AT car, will there be negative or positive impact. I am currently fitted with a SIMOTA Dragon Air Intake (like the K&N Apollo) but I...

Hey T9, thanks for the heads up. I will be more wary. Thanks again, Jarrus for advice too. I will come back with updates if any good ones comes :)..

Mates, what a stroke of luck. I was given the opportunity to try out 1) Simota open pot and 2) Simota Intake Shark Carbon Charger II! Open pot makes my low really sluggish but it sounds really fierce. carbon charger II on the other hand is not that loud but low end loss is almost negligible...

That sounds like a great idea. The fins are hard to cut by hand so am thinking of a grinder to grind it down but may be tricky as any accidental mistake may cause me a stick box.anyways, will take a look at it. I am using KNN filter in the stock box. Better air flow. Well, will be...

Thank you sir! appreciate that...in desperation need to learn more..cheers..

Still trying to figure out....

Oh definitely not..which is really something i'd rather avoid. It smells so bad that a traffic police a mile away can sniff us out. :D I fitted an open pot with a box to divide the engine from this open pod. The pod is connected to the throttle body through a very short piping (like a...

Brett, thanks..I've checked, there ins't SuperCharger available for R18A as they already produced TurboKit for this engine. That's too much of a hassle. What do you think of removing the catalyc converter that's installed at the header? Someone says that it would increase 5% horsepower and...

jarrus, what do you suggest for a b18a? do you guys get this build there? I haven't got a clue if a supercharge is better or turbo kit. also which is less intrusive, in terms complications in getting it fixed. you have anything on this to share? thanks in advance. James

Hey Prince, thanks for that! taking your post, i went on to google and found some write ups about it. This means if we go with big ass spoilers, it would only be for aesthetics. Is this accurate? Thanks again.

thanks but still learning..

sorry, just got back from overseas trip. the engine is stock B18A. would love to have it swapped for something bigger but its illegal here :(

Sorry for coming back late. I was away for 2 weeks. Looks good man. Did not do anything to the engine. Still contemplating what is to be done. Done: 1) 6 pot Mini Brakes with 303 mm for front wheels 2) Mugen Exhaust (end) 3) Pivot VS 4) Front and Rear ARB, Front and rear upper...

Nice the carbon one Waynne. I'll look at both of them and update the pics! Cheers mate! James

My Ride: FD1A Cheers mate. Will be Derbyshire this 11th June 2010 for 14 days! Any shop to recommend for a visit??

COBB AccessPort vs Hondata..any experience? Hello Mates, I am looking at this unit of OEM ECU FLASH device. Anyone have had their hands on this? What are your views on this? Thanks in advance. James (New here) :blink::blink:

Waynne, the Sports Cat is not approved here in sunny Singapore. Changing of cams is a big project and in our city driving environment, low end is important. Thanks for the valuable input though. Mates, I have decided to go with Increase in mid pipe size (custom) to about 25-30% more. Will...

You did ti again badger, I will have sleepless nights with these inspirations. LOL. Yes, I have been speaking with our local supplier about these. The branded ones will cost me about SGD 1 - 2 K. But should be good to have. Cheers.

Hey Mate, thanks for the heads up. Will check before committing. Singapore is a "fine" city. You get fine for almost anything :)

Some of the blokes in Singapore installed Induction Kit the wrong way without considering cooling the open pod area (if in the case of Badger's advise that it requires proper cooling). They simply plug in the open pod filter and left it as that. No enclosure and Cold Air Feed. So mates, in...

Waynne, is there a write on this that I can gain some insights? Thanks! James

Wow! But I will pass the inspection for this kit. We have people selling and fitting these for Singapore Dollars 4 - 5K..way expensive. Some even invested in quad throttles. :o Cheers mate!

Thanks again Bad63R, do you have any recommendations on a well spent performance mod? :D --- newbie here...

Thanks Waynne, so instead of an air induction kit, what would you recommend to spend money on for a 1.8 litre 4 in-line SOHC CIVIC FD1? Let's say one do not have a deep pocket -something moderate/nice. I'd rather not wake the neighbours up and considering the fact that the Air Induction Kit...

Hello Bad63R. Thanks for sharing. Am really a newbie in this. So should look at Manifold and downpipe as well. In Singapore, we cannot de-kat as it would be illegal to drive the car. Is this the same in the UK? Thanks. James

Hello mates, Read this article on this page ( http://www.torquecars.com/tuning/induction-kits.php ). When they say small engines should avoid these kits; how small is small? Any advice from experts? Thanks. James

Hello, did a quick search and did not found anything on this. Hoping to get assistance on exos matter. New in the game :) I am driving an 8th Gen Civic (2008). Its 1.8 AT and would like to find out what is the best increment size for the exhaust piping to increase horsepower. 25% or 50%...
