2002 Supercharged EP3 Civic Type R (a 10 year love affair)
Discussion
Cheers mate, dyno figures are all a bit pie in the sky but I think if you run on the same dyno at least you know what you've gained!

I've just bought another EP3 too, got a couple of bits I'm going to steal then sell it on!

Well a few little updates to show, some big stuff coming over the next few months too.
Firstly, I got some JDM mats, anyone who knows EP3's know these go for loadsa dosh, I got them (effectively) free!
Next up, the big one. I love EP3's, I love Civics, but they're not quick anymore. After a lot of deliberation and soul searching (where I nearly sold the Civic and bought a Subaru Legacy!) I have decided to go for a Rotrex Supercharger.
You can buy a new kit from TTS for £3k + Fitting + ECU + Mapping, but suddenly you're 4k+ in. Ouch.
I've done my normal thing of trying to source all the parts seperately, It's a pain but it saves cash. Rotrex C30-94 from eBay, TTS mounts from ebay, some extra bits from TTS themselves and some brand new RC 650cc injectors.
It's a bit of a Jigsaw and I've still got the most expensive bit (Hondata KPRO + Mapping) to do, but it should all come together over the next few months. So watch this space!
Quick mockup in my garage (excuse the mess)
RC 650's. Mmmmmm.
Can't wait!

Well, the final piece of the puzzle is here. Got an absolute bargain from eBay, a PRA (European EP3 ECU) already fitted with a KPro. The latest V4 model as well. Saved myself a few hundred quid over buying a new one.
I've had a test fit, played with some maps and it's all working lovely, all ready for mapping.
Fitting of the charger? Well it may be happening quite soon!!
