Seems to be a bit more urgent mate low down torque sounds really deep too combined with filter haven’t had a good blast in yet so can’t comment on out and out performance
Hi guys my cup is already mapped spoke with Chris at efi said map shouldn’t need adjusting with sports cat addition, it drives amazing. Not heard about the expectation of how long it last hopefully as I do low miles will last
Hi guys
So my original cat corroded and started blowing and stunk so a replacement was needed. The oem cats were just stupid prices so I opted for the ktec sports cat as have a recently fitted stealth system on the car. I did this for no performance or sound gains just as it was better option...
Will be watching this will be interesting mate if you make 30bhp of a service I am gonna hang myself when I have put 3k into my cup to get 190bhp ???? well it has virtually had every thing but still .... keep us updated pal
I did the belts dephaser and pump ect on mine as soon as I got the car along with loads of other stuff small fortune spent then with ktec exhaust and filter it was mapped at efi by Chris and made a healthy 188bhp my cats now being replaced for a ktec sports cat which will help slightly tomoz but...
Hi mate decent little purchase it’s way down on power tho would deffo loose that filter and invest in a decent one or replace to a standard air box ? Who set the timing up on the car when belts were done ? This can make a big difference the service won’t see much difference I don’t think but...
It drove me insane for ages I know that timing can play a major factor after having advice on here it was fortunate I was getting belts done at the time, get the throttle body checked mate
Cool ? I think mine was on original cat by the looks of it I wouldn’t have changed had it not failed it’s not even that bad but my ocd takes over lol ?
Hi mate I went through this saga on my cup, I had a new throttle body on it and had the belts and timing done and it’s fine now had a map on it which has cured wobbly cold starts
I am not doing it for any performance gains mate just the best option I had no plans to change, what exhaust have u got on ur cup ? Do u know if sports cat makes it much louder ?
Hi mate @ mr blonde I thought I had a blow so got it checked and mine had coroded by the join and was blowing so I looked into a standard cat replacement and was extortionate so opted for the ktec sports cat it’s being fitted next Tuesday. Had a decat on my type r and was really loud and I am an...
Mate ??????? nice one !!! Not sure how the sports cat works with ktec exhaust but it’s all ktec too and I shudnt have to map again either. What exhaust is on urs
It’s should do mate providing they warm it up correctly before texting my cat has corroded so I am putting a sports cat on next week was much cheaper than a oem one
I agree with all the above I now have a 172 cup and previous a modified ep3 the steering on the civic was awful despite all the upgrades the cup is in a different league handling wise
Hi Andy sorry to hear about ur sad news a real shame as these are on the whole great little cars ? What seats has it got and are they for sale ? Regards Mark
