Hello

I live in France and i own a 1999 Honda Integra Type R.
My car is 144,2 hp and 113,6 at the wheels, full stock

I've ordered a Buddy Club Spec III post catalytic exhaust system (i will receive it soon) and i have replace the catalyser by a Supersprint one.

How much power gain can i hope ?

I've read that setting the ignition to 18° is good, how can i set it (need pictures and good explanation) and what will it bring ?

Thanks

Axionman

 

Bon Jour.
That's not much. What kind of Dyno was it? Corrected values or not?
Don't buy a 2" Cat replacement! Go 2.5" instead....with an 2.5" header ofcourse.
Not much....
Let your dealer do it. Done in 5 -10 minutes!!! 3-4 HP more.

oups,i meant 144,2 kw (196 hp) and 155 hp at the wheels

For the cat jack, its a 60 mm one, as the buddy club exhaust

i don't know the conversion inch/mm sorry.

For the ignition, i can't let it do by my honda dealer, the car is still guaranted (for 1 month again)
But i have some friends working as mecanicians, i think they could do it..

Thanks for your help

 

That's a better value.
The Supersprint is 60 mm at one side and 50 mm at the other. The stock header has a 50 mm OD flange, that's why.

2.5" = 63 mm. JDM headers have an 65 mm OD flange which is much better than 50 mm!!!

 

Ok

so the next step for me is to replace the stock header by a new one with 65 mm od flange ?

I have some more questions:

What is the stock header like ?
4-2-1 or 4-1 ?

Is the supersprint catjack as short as the japanese ones ?
Because somebody on this forum owns a Buddy Club Spec 3 exhaust and the tail is too long...

Thanks

 

go Turbo

1 inch is equal to 25.4mm.

Good luck with your R and happy tuning. We are all glad when you will hit the search button in the upper right corner, cause many questions are posted 100x and are beaten to death. Like turbo vs supercharger!

YEAH, 2.5 inch with high flow cat ownz bottle necked exhausts! Go with 2.5

BTW: European tuning-scene is 98% crap, buy parts directly from USA or Japan when you want serious tuning. We call that "style tuning" rice here. this is the best board about Honda! I like when more and more peoples from Euro come to this community.

Yes, but if you buy the supersprint now then you would have to buy another again with 65 mm flange. Or you can modify the Supersprint later (if that's possible).
stock is 4-2-1 with 40 mm primaries and 50 mm flange. JDM is 4-1 with 44 mm primaries and 65 mm flange!!!
If it's for the EuroITR then it is as long as the stock cat (longer than JDM).

ok

i have already baught the supersprint catjack, so i will have to buy anoter one or i can make a ss pipe to replace it.

What catjack with the correct size for a jdm exhaust can i buy (and where if possible )?

Is the spoon sports header a good one ? (i yhink so, but i also heard of toda ones)

thanks again

Ps for austrian type R: thanks for the welcome. I don't like the tuning for the style, but for the performances, and you're right, there's nothing interesting for japanese cars in Europe

Bye

 

Yeah, the Euro-tuning szene need a complete restyle and a revolution!

no go all show here!

PS: TUV sux big monkey *****, I give a **** on TUV

 

Oh man.. You should start reading all the posts here....
Try searching for "JDM"....

 

welcome to HT axionman!

yshi - who is amazed at all the countries represented on this forum

 

Welcome to H-T Axionman.

 

wowwww, shake it easy on that... u have a japanese car, therefore the best parts for it are JAPANESE, if u had a Beamer or Merc, u wouldn't go shopping for parts on the US/JP.....

Axio,
welcome!

 

Thanks to all of you for the welcome

I see we are few to represent the old continent

For information, i had to order my exhaust directly in Japan, by Buddy club's website.
You're right, best parts for japan car are japanese ones

 

No, I don't agree with you, not 100%, our volks don't give a stih how heavy wheels are, or how fine th esuspension works, the car must slamed to the ground. You guys in the US knows the performance stuff, nobody does over here. Only lots of rice. Even if the car is EDM, JSM or USDM. 99% of the "modified" cars are riced out. The tuning-szene in Europe is very different of USA or Japan one.

I guess of 5000 modified cars there is only 1 performance wise trimmed. And this is a chipped turboed Audi with heavy *** wheels 8.5x18 in front and 10x18 in rear on an AWD. this is tuning in Europe. Spent lots of money in chipping and then destroing the *more power* with heavy wheel.

[B]Congratulation to the riced-out-tuning-shops which are hunting money with neons, heavy rims, fender pulling and ugly body kits.

Welcome

We should set up a swap or something. We ship all the BMW/Mercedes stuff from Germany to the States and Japan, and you guys ship the sweet stuff to here

 

We are few but still growing

Growing in numbers, growing in peace... cause we are all made of

Welcome!

 

axionman - welcome to Honda-tech.com

If you want a header that does it all for a reasonable price, go with Toda 4-2-1 header. It has like-OEM ground clearance and puts out plenty of power for any N/A application down the road.

try http://www.ipsracing.com http://www.randdmotorsports.com and they should be able to get you the header.

 

Hey, portuguese peep here.

If, you´re ordering your exasut setup from Japan, just get the Vision N1 complete exaust setup, you´ll pay the same, and you´ll have the best header for your car.

Pinota

P.S: i´ve been near France this weekend, in pamplona, Spain.

 

Do u know from were I can buy door wind deflectors from Europe for ITR cause I emailed 3 companies from USA and didnt even reply! PLEAE HELP!

 

Salut man,

Je vais écrire en français, ca va me changer un peu.
En effet, c'est très dure de commander quelque chose aux stats.
Soit ils ne répondent pas au e-mails, soit ils répondent qu'ils n'envoient rien
hors des Etats-Unis.
J'ai tout de même pu commander aux US un collecteur d'échappement 4-1 JDM
DC-Sport. J'en ai pour plus cher de frais de port que de matos mais c'est quand même moins cher qu'en France.

Sympas d'avoir pu discuter un peu en français et désolé pour ceux qui ne parlent pas notre langue.
