2002 Supercharged EP3 Civic Type R
Discussion
Thanks for posting your progress, I've just read the whole thread from start, to well now.
I've never really got the civic thing, we took an fn2 in px a few weeks ago (sorry !!) and I quite liked it (sorry again) I didn't drive it far - well just enough to see if it started and stopped and had all its forward gears and had planned to go for a spirited drive later. However in less than 12 hours it was sold and gone.
Anyway we have now taken an ep3 in px (2005) and I really like it. So much so i'm thinking of moving my fleet around and buying one. I like the handling and the brakes and the suspension isn't as bad as I expected. We had a little run across country and it was fun hunting down our office S4, I felt I'd had some fun as wet roads and cheap tyres don't inspire confidence.

Well mapping was yesterday, mixed results. First of all power is up from 265-320 which is fantastic of course.
Downside is that the fuel pressure is still dropping off at higher revs. We want 4bar+ and it's dropping to 3.2 above 7k. Hmmmm.
So we've got an issue somewhere, either with the pump, FPR or something causing a restriction.
More head scratching to do.
Going pretty well at the moment though, but I want fuelling right, not just almost right!!

Oh don't I know it 
Had a bit of a play with the extra power today, by god it's fast
Get the fuelling right and try and get to 350bhp I think.
You will need a bigger intercooler if you keep pushing the power up! Had a bit of a play with the extra power today, by god it's fast
