Saving for some mods - can you help?

Bizzie · 17th October 2012, 20:32

I am not planning on buying right now, because i want to save some money up & get some mods done by you guys all at once.

I'm soon to buy a HKS RSK or a Tegiwa Intake (Not chosen yet) & I plan to get a flashpro & have it done by you in the future, but i was thinking about improving my power by a little more at the same time.

I'll be fitting my intake myself (probably) but i'll be planning on visiting you for the Flashpro + Map, but want to know what you'd recommend i get done while I'm there at the same time? Save on the mapping costs & the trip etc

A few opinions on what i can get done would be great & prices to match (fitted / including VAT etc) so i can plan ahead & see!

Cheers

P.s, i am clueless with all this stuff.

If you get the exhaust manifold fitted with a catback at the same time you map the car with the intake you will see awesome gains.

The exhaust manifold is the second biggest gain you will see prior to going forced induction!

Bizzie · 18th October 2012, 19:30

I have only just bought a milltek a few months ago though.

Be ok to keep that on?

higham · 18th October 2012, 19:35

miltek will be fine

you will see some nice gains with a exhaust manifold

i would go with the tegiwa airbox over the hks.

Bizzie · 18th October 2012, 20:08

Cool cheers, does TEGIWA sound any different to stock? Love the rks noise lol.

So what manifold should I be looking at getting?

Manifold
TEGIWA intake
Hondata
Remap

Is my shopping list!

i believe its a lttle louder than stock but not much tbh

depends what you want to spend and if your a brand whore

but the tegiwa is good and cheap
cpl mani is good and cost a little more
or the toda for mega bucks but considered the best!

FN2cub · 18th October 2012, 20:16

Get the tegiwa manifold £ for £ it's the best. The tegiwa intake makes a bit more noise but nothing compared to the hks, depends what your after.

Revs FN2 · 18th October 2012, 20:25

Agreed with all the above posts, but if you haven't already, get the FRS done. Combined with some good tyres it'll transform your car. Then get the header

Bizzie · 18th October 2012, 21:11

I have bilstein b14 and frs done already. I lowered by 15mm.

Does manifold change sound btw?

Revs FN2 · 18th October 2012, 21:40

It'll make it a bit louder, but mainly a lot more raspy.

Bizzie · 18th October 2012, 21:59

Cheers for your help.

So, i'll await TDI North to give me a quote for Hondata flash pro + Manifold fitting + Map.. Including all taxes & whatever else!

Cheers!

EDIT:

Is this all i need to buy? http://www.tegiwaimports.com/honda-r...-fn2-k20z-675/

or do i need other parts as well from there to go with it? (Anything worth changing at the same time while i'm getting it done?) I'm planning to buy some engine bay dress ups too but not sure if i can easily do all of them myself? Still need to look into it

Cheers again.

higham · 18th October 2012, 22:42

thats the wrong manifold thats inlet manifold that will give you top end gains so worth getting aswell... ex manifold is more about midrange!

FN2cub · 18th October 2012, 22:53

This is what you need plus a metal bung for the Center plug

TEGIWA HONDA CIVIC TYPE R FN2 EXHAUST HEADER MANIFOLD

EXHAUST O2 LAMBDA OXYGEN SENSOR BUNG M18 X 1.5

The bung goes in middle hole as shown in the picture below

Bizzie · 19th October 2012, 11:05

Cheers, I will look at changing both manifolds, not sure if I will get both or not though to start with lol.

so, both or not any advice?

Bizzie · 21st October 2012, 13:16

Any chance of a quote then from TDI north?

I'll list the 2 options i have to pick from.

1)
Hondata (buying from you)
+Exhaust manifold (I'd purchase)
+map

2)
Hondata (buying from you)
+Exhaust manifold (I'd purchase)
+Intake manifold (I'd purchase)
+map

Fitting / VAT including please.

Also, as FN2cub says I'll need a bung as well, apart from that is there anything else I'll need to buy or should buy? As i want to budget for everything.

Thanks.

Thanks.

higham · 23rd October 2012, 19:14

bizzie probably best emailing tdi north...

Revs FN2 · 23rd October 2012, 19:58

Bizzie, don't discount other headers. If a second hand Toda or CPL header come up for sale, give them serious consideration

Cheers, much appreciated!

I'll have plenty of saving to do for all of these mods, so £900 will be too steep really! Might consider if i see a second hand one, but would prefer new with something like this i think.

Also, just thinking today i am completely open about HKS RSK vs Tegiwa intake, i love that sound of the HKS RSK!!!
