EJ Coupe LS/Vtec in Kitsap. Second EG era Honda :D
Heyo Honda Tech. I guess my real name is on here. I'm not sure how to change it. But whatever...I don't think anyone is really going to care. Let me know if you know how to change my username. I definitely feel less comfy without my alias. I've been using honda tech for a long time, like years upon years, but I've never made an account.
ANYWAYS, back to the Honda focus...my car is a red coupe that I bought with an ls vtec built by Altech complete for 1700 in Toronto while I was visiting a friend. I drove it all the way back to the Seattle area last summer and I have put lots of love into it since.
My last car was a paradise green eg hatch with an ls swap that I bought for a grand...I think this is definitely what got me into the honda scene. I can't imagine starting with modifying a d series because I would have lost every race I've ever been in. I would have been done so fast. I smashed that into a curb while I was snow drifting. I cried like a baby for weeks
Back to my EJ hatch: the car was originally "dynoed" at 220whp, and I don't doubt that he may have had those parts on there, but it had a stock b16 intake manifold when I got it. I'm planning on getting it tuned again after I get a couple more modifications done. Then I will know for sure.
The full list of parts/specs (The ones I have done I put new next to):
STR adjustable cam gears
Chipped PO6 ECU
Unconfirmed 12:1 compression...it loves 94. Okay on 92.
Tokico shocks/struts-green
New PLM RMF style header
New Gates timing belt
New 10 year old Skunk2 "floor model" intake manifold (65mm opening)
New Napa Battery
AEM fuel rail
New AEM air filter
Some kind of incredibly loud high flow muffler
High flow cat-blew into chunks when I flooded the engine a from driving on a busted ignition coil. Definitely needs replacement.

GReddy Turbo timer.
Rear disk swap with new calipers, pads, and rotors.
