I have a 07 lx 5speed sedan and was wondering i don't race my car considering its pointless its a lx. But anywho if i do get on it off the red light or so the tranny seems to lag is it just all the r18 trannys cause i never had a problem with the d series or b series trannys, If so is there any performance that we can do clucth,flywheel, etc. I just want the power there to have if i need it. Also i was planning to do little upgrades like i/h/e and thats probably bout it.

 

the power issue lies with your motor not your trans.
a new clutch/flywheel will not help you out.

intake and exhaust i can see, but arent the r18 header plastic?

 

Not to sure haven't done to much reseach on performance just yet. But i was going to start looking soon. Is that the stock your talking about or the aftermarkets headers.

 

the stock.

are you serious?!?

intake is plastic, the header is not.

in fact, there is no header; only a downpipe as the exhaust manifold is integrated in to the head.

 

oh..............................
that makes way more sense.

 

Boost if you plan on gaining any realy power, otherwise you will have a louder car with 10 more hp.

 

its lag because o the DBW system

 

If i was gonna boost i want to give them time to come up with a good kit not something ppl wanted so they rushed it. Also i want to wait a lil bit of time before i void all my warranties. ( And yes i know i/h/e will but if i really need to take my car in for anything i can take it off and throw it back on.)

 

it would be a huge pita if you had to take off i/h/e and reinstall stock i/h/e, just so you could take it in for something. if thats really your mindset id rethink modding the car right now. just leave it be until warranties expire.

Absolutely. A piggyback that has the function to adjust settings of DBW systems will solve your problem (Greddy E-Manage, HKS F-Con IS, AEM F/IC,etc.).

Or if you're not into piggybacks, try this product from Pivot this will do just the trick to improve your throttle response http://pivotjp.com/product/frame-3-drive-e.html, http://www.pivotracing.com/product/THR

Wepon R makes a down pipe for the r18. It looks pretty cool. I dunno if it actually does much though. I'm not too familiar with the r18 but I think it removes the cat. So there may be some legal issues with running one on the street.
