Hey all,

Hope everyone is doing fine

Firstly i'm new to both the forum and the honda scene so please be patient... well basically im looking for my first honda and was considering getting a 2005 EP3.

I really like the championship white and the light grey colour wise, what id like to ask straight up is there a really big different between the Eu and JDM versions, i read that there is an 11BHP difference due to cams, ecu programming, manifold and exhaust upgrades, but does it really make that big a difference?

Thank in advance

 

Welcome to Honda-Tech

Where are you from? You won't find any Champ White EP3's in the USA but if you're from over the pond then you are lucky.

You are correct about the horsepower differences in the JDM vs EU models, this stems from the JDM K20A engine vs the K20a2 engine. There's not THAT much difference that your butt-dyno will notice, but if you can get the better one then I certainly would recommend that.

Either car will benefit dramatically from Hondata Kpro tuning, so if you plan to modify it at all then that should be your best bang for the buck.

Good luck
