253bhp EP3 Honda Civic Type R, N/A, @ AI Autosports Rolling Road

[ZX10RWSB]

Very impressive for N/A!

[curtusz]

next step for this bad boy is forced induction and forged internals ... sick car :P

[louisecarlto]

Really is pretty straight forward to get this sort of bhp from a ctr folks. Bolt ons, cams and a good ecu map will see it.:) This was a very clean, fast ep3, think it ended up at 260bhp after this.

[bantycass]

Didn't realise this video was getting so much attention!! I had a lot of fun in that car

[miniator]

@bantycass not doing too badly is it mate! be great if you could give me a spec to add to the description (shut a few people up round here lol!)

[obbyb1]

LOOK AT THE CAMBER ON THOSE WHEELS. NICE CAR RICECAKE.

[hernandadmx]

@obbyb1 ? alright man

[Larry3200]

@obbyb1 You sir are a fucking idiot, you have no taste in cars and certainly do not know what 'RICE' means.

[louisecarlto]

@obbyb1 All ctr's camber the wheels like that when lowered inless you fit aftermarket camber arms. Whats rice got to do with it?

[emantabrizi]

I still hate Honda for not bringing the Type R to the States.

[GuyMcmillan87]

Lovely car mate. the irish number plate sets it off nicely

[Eselpower]

You guys speak of the UKDM but actually it is EDM. That stands for European Domestic Market. And the EP3 was built in Swindon, England.

[BerryA86]

2 liter engine 253 bhp! What compression ratio are you running??

[ajhc18]

Where did you get that grill and emblem?? And front bumper for that matter :P

[Wilkeh1]

@ajhc18 It's the standard UK facelift model mate. You Americans don't get our Type-R Civics :)

[ajhc18]

@Wilkeh1 Dang, that's super shitty, cause the Type-R's are sexy :/

[onehandsomebugga]

What type of kit is that? Looks good

[miniator]

@onehandsomebugga Its standard....or as the americans would say, "stock"

[upyerscunt]

@miniator stick*

[KillerKlous]

are stock ep3 type r's turbo charged?

[miniator]

@KillerKlous LOL, no!!!!!!

[lapjepap]

sounds nice

[EK4CrazyVTEC]

The max out of a N/A is 330hp to 340hp thats with everythink maxed out on the engine.

thats from a honda tuning place who only do k20 engines.

costs £6000 for the 330hp N.A engine.

and turbo k20 engines with over 530hp for around £12000

[MrBennyboy1989]

What mods has it got sounds good and i love the white wheels against the black car

[peter18394]

for a civic ep3 its a good sound most civic have bad exhaust sound i hate it

[palefaced1]

@johnjackson12 those mods you listed will NOT get an EP3 to 245whp

[cobra390]

Is that a stock CTR lip?

[buggar4466]

253? lol. Waving BS flag. If it was 253 it must have been in like 10th gear.

[Phunkmasterd]

@buggar4466 not at all, mine has 240bhp and i have a friend that has 252bhp the difference between his and mine is that he has the RBC inlet manifold and a J's racing butterfly

[miniator]

@buggar4466 I've only just noticed this comment....lol, give me a chuckle, Thanks!!

[CJRamze]

@miniator I'll wave it with him. I'm a massive fan of CTR's and theres no way one would hit 253bhp stock, Either the dyno is way out or you've modified something!

[BigSloan413]

0 to 60 in 15 minutes :)

[29ryan49]

I can't decided between the EK9 and EP3. I mean they both look sick. The EK9 is around 100+ KG lighter and it's smaller and uses the B16 with 185HP or do I go with the EP3 which is heavier, bigger and uses the K20 with 197HP.

I plan on modding, most likely turboing whichever one I buy, but which is the easiest to mod?

[JetStreet]

@29ryan49

Lighter EK. Well it really depends on the pwr to weight ratio, how much it cost and how much youre going to mod it, but yea, focus on the pwr to weight ratio. Again i would go with the lighter cars.

[MrCap0ne]

@29ryan49 EK9 simple because you can always swap a K-series engine in it and be that much faster and regardless of what you do it's alot easier to work in the engine bay of an EK than an EP because half the engine is under the windshieild and cowling.

[rushdenreilly]

sounds nice

[charles91209]

Ep3 r the shit... If u have one feel special because there aren't many of those in the streets..

[TheVtieg6]

@charles91209

Well they these are really popular where im from so you dont feel special but then again if they wernt soo good it wouldnt be soo popular

[johnjackson12]

@charles91209 not many ep3 on the streets? you serious they are everywhere! Interesting that this guy is at 253bhp, what kind of mods have you done to reach that kind of power? ive raced an ep3 n/a at 245bhp and the list of mods were as follows:-

cone filter, bigger intake manifold, exhaust manifold, decat, exhaust, hondata ecu. Still wasnt very quick but did sound the part.

[antdragracer]

that ep3 looks tough AF

[shadyredline]

Hampsterrrr and rev limiter

[TheAftermath1987]

Very nice pal, what mods if you don't mind me asking?

[Skyline750]

very clean and sexy ep3... i want one so bad

[nadinebroekhof]

what did you upgrade?

[wotton43]

BEST LOOKING AND SOUNDING TYPE R IVE EVER SEEN MATE .. SO JEALOUS ......I MISS MY HONDA

[topbengi786]

how much have you lowered it by? looks good

[rockyrobin24]

show me the printed readings plz

[tanny786100]

What are the mods on this CTR? K-Pro?

[Red97Avenger]

since when is 210 - 215 whp n/a quite impressive from a k series lol .... in the states we have 320 whp n/a k series

[geostigmaAndrew]

@Red97Avenger yeah with a k24 bottom end. I dont know why they just don't release the franken k as something usable in the accord.

[Red97Avenger]

@geostigmaAndrew ... k24 is a k series right .

[ElPicheGringo]

it has k in the name what do you think?

[ElPicheGringo]

no you dont have 320 whp k series here mabe like 300 hp but no way its 320 to the wheels.

[perrybmx]

not k20 you don't

[Red97Avenger]

good job kid ...

[fasthonda]

so sexy

[REVFRENZY]

plates from england mate, its ukdm ctr pushing near 200 bhp standarddd

[miniator]

@REVFRENZY

not strictly an English car

[trueancient]

@miniator looks like Irish plates tome

[Mr20Typer]

@trueancient strictly speaking northern irish plates

[navyaircraftengineer]

@miniator he didnt say it was an english car... he said it was a ukdm (UK domestic car) meaning the car was built for the british market as apposed to a car built for the japenese market (jdm) or a car built for a european country. of course its not an english car... its a japanese manufacturer, but the car was intended for our market

[miniator]

@navyaircraftengineer if you read his comment, he state "the plates from england". my response referred to this in that it is not an English registered car. Thank you for stating the obvious though

[Mr330d]

@miniator lol at the "english" plates comment haha clearly a good n.i plate on the yoke unlike the 100's with english plates

[lizardbizkitz]

@miniator Irish plate mate

[miniator]

@lizardbizkitz no, its a Northern Irish plate.

[mazdee626]

@navyaircraftengineer Yeah the ep3 was originally made in the uk and then shipped to japan and everywhere else.It actually was the only type r not actually made in japan so technically none of the ep type r's are jdm.

[ep3hatch18]

Sup, where in the heck can I find those mirrors.. Ive been looking everywhere....

[Sweetearthslug]

@ep3hatch18

Just go to honda and order some.. ???

2004+ model EP1 EP2 EP3 or EP4

[ProjectNach]

that is one tight looking Type-R

[miamipacheco]

soo fresh

[krazzielaosboi]

what motor this thing got? a3? a2?

[nityjizzle]

JDM k20a

[miniator]

its not JDM its a UKDM CTR

[nityjizzle]

Lol same heads, bore size is exactly the same, stroke, timing and lift, from 0 degrees to 30 degrees timing is the same (tuning for N/A).

[miniator]

@nityjizzle

of course it is.....the engine isnt the difference between the JDM and UKDM CTR's

[aisukurimusandoichi]

proof...? Thats very impressive if it's true. Must have cost a pretty penny too... I'd personally spend the money on a DC2 though, then you've got the handling too

[gamer10884]

mint civic how much did it cost to get the car putting out 253bhp N/A??

[koenerdoenig]

That's one good-looking CTR and it has some grunt, too. Props

[1mvn89]

but the black civic with the golden rims is more fantastic!!!!!!i love civic!!!:D

[jack0halliwell]

i love the white rims with the black civic, it loooks fantastic!!!

[badmanspillz]

u.k all da way fam!!

[alivebygrace]

Im going to wait like 10 years then import me a JDM EP3 right hand drive for myself. My present. I have a 2002 SIR now

[GILLYISTHEMAN]

what mods u done?

[ob1kanukie]

DING DING!

UKDM is correct! I'd have to back up Zeebowa n Hybridbeat.

Even with an 08' si engine swapped into my ep3... The UK version still beats my ass!

Impressive #'s from a 2L engine! Wish we'd have the UK version here instead of the weak 160HP pee-wee version.

[0okm1]

its cause that one is a type are which comes with 220bhp stock usdms come with 160bhp moron

[TheVtieg6]

but uk versions come with 197bhp

[KamilPs2]

Uk 197hp 7880 RPM max

Europe 200hp 8360 RPM max

USA 180hp and 7200 RPM max

[TheVtieg6]

What you talking about?

[KamilPs2]

Version Honda Civic in world

[TheVtieg6]

well if you talking about ep3s your figures are wrong

uk and europe 197bhp

us 160 bhp because they only get SI version not type R

Japan get 217bhp

[KamilPs2]

Yes Si, but this engine gave 180 HP.

[TheVtieg6]

not its not its 160bhp

[KamilPs2]

Honda Civic VII gen vers. SI have 180hp. not 160

[longebor85]

@TheVtieg6 yes, u are most right but in uk and europe are 197hp (models year '01-'03) and 200hp (models year '03-'05)

[29ryan49]

@TheVtieg6 212

[djdavedoc]

@TheVtieg6 I have a Jap Imported EP3. Mine was Rolling Road Tested in November 08 at 212BHP which makes sense.

[longebor85]

@TheVtieg6 EU/UK models from 2001-2003 had 197 as u say but the restyling version 2003-2005 had 200cv.

[Txiagao1]

@TheVtieg6 you are wrong too because in europe is 220 bhp

[TheVtieg6]

@Txiagao1

No its not do your research

[ob1kanukie]

@ 0okm1

No shit fuck stain! What part of CTR beating my ass did you not understand?! And what part of swapped out to K20z3 did you not understand? It's rated at 197bhp and not 160bhp moron.

[zeebowa]

This is UKDM, end of argument.

It's UKDM as it was built for the UK MARKET. Its UKDM not because it was designed here, but because its purpose is to be sold to the UK market.

You could only class it as JDM, if it was the exact same as those sold in Japan. It doesnt have the Recaro's or LSD so it's not even close. It also isnt EDM due to different countries driving on different sides of the road etc..... plus many od Europes are badged as Si's etc.

[rkremer]

sounds like a zero plane coming down;-) nice car!

[JustttBlaze]

It looks really good with the white wheels! Where did you get them done?

[10petrolhead10]

beautiful!

[rich16041987]

ye N/A cars cost a bomb to tune up a lot. u rly gta be a N/A addict to go down that path lol. althought a k20 engine is pretty near the best n/a engine of all in my opinion for its size. turbos can get big power easy. like i had a glanza and spent a grand and a half adding a td04 turbo kit and engine management and got 230odd bhp at 1 bar on stock internals safely. but turbo + vtec = car that will rape anything lol.

[Newgeez]

All such nice mods "Wasted" on a FWD platform.

LOL @ FWD!

[TheVtieg6]

Newgeez

You telling me a FWD car cant handle that power? lol

[Newgeez]

Not trying to imply that at all...I'll just go by this saying...."What's the point of having 4 wheels when your car only uses 2 of them?"

RWD/AWD > FWD

[TheVtieg6]

Newgeez

The other wheels provide grip its simple as that.

[XenatR]

"What's the point of having 4 wheels when your car only uses 2 of them?"

i thought RWD uses 2 wheels :o

anyway, RWD sucks in snow xD gl getting stranded like a beached whale LoL

[KINGSRT4]

@XenatR

Because of all wheel drive cars.. uR stupid as fuck dude

[e30clio]

@KINGSRT4

4 wheel drive is shit tho

[prt13g]

my cousin's produces 253bhp(216whp) and 22kg torque at wheels with stock cams using:

PRC inlet manifold

J's racing 70mm throttle

Injen CAI

Toda manifold

Toda De-cat exhaust

and Hondata K-pro ecu

HONDA FANS_GREECE

[EE9Civic]

On a Quote me Happy Dyno?

[miniator]

sounds like someones telling porkies

[230720]

this is my friends cars... Skunk stage 2 Cams, Skunk2 Valve springs + Retainers, Dastek unichip by A.I Autosport Aem V2, RBC inlet Mani, DC Sports Manifold, DC Sports full S/S exhaust with De-cat, JDM limited slip diff, Quickshift Gear-Shift Ingals Torque Damper, Red Earthing Kit, and a few small mods

[hybridbeat]

OK let's get some fun facts!

UK's '07 Type-R = 0-60mph 6.5s - Weights 2800lbs (1300kgs) Price £17,600 (u$s26K+)

USA's '07 Si = 0-60mph 7.1 - Weights2886lbs (1310kgs) Price u$s21K+ (£14,000+)

So much for UKDM... Seems to me that you brits are getting ROBBED hahaha

AND we can choose! 2 door or 4 door HAHAHAHA

Shove that CRAP up ur Tea Drinking ASS!

oh yeah, with the remaining u$s5K I'll leave ur Type-R in the DUST.

[stirkz]

tit

[chicken539]

Prick

[hybridbeat]

is that the best u fuckers can do? hahaha

[TheVtieg6]

hybridbeat

What can your car do then?

[hybridbeat]

I don't kiss n tell, my friend.

But a K20a2/a4 hybrid with a T3T4 turbo setup can give you some good numbers haha

[TheVtieg6]

hybridbeat

Well theres a big difference between thoses two cars

Thats a turbo

This is not a turbo

Is that too hard for you to understand hybridbeat ?

[hybridbeat]

I love this car, man!

mad props to the owner.

those 253hp on that EP3 are sweeet

I love it.

what's your point, bro.

I'm talking about brits that say the TYPE-R this and the Type-R that, u know.

I've an USDM Ep3 Si and it's awesome.

[TheVtieg6]

hybridbeat

I have no idea what any of that has to do with what i said.

The type r is alot better around corners than the Si thats just how it is.

[hybridbeat]

bleh this is a pointless conversation.

the Si is great. a Great Value, great car, the engine is OK, but that's what Swaps are for.

and handling wise, well, nothing that a good Coilover set, Big brake upgrade, Strut & Tie bars can't better for the extra $5,000+ dollars that the TYPE R costs.

[10petrolhead10]

so true, but how much would it cost you to tune a usdm k20 so that it can develop at least as much as a jdm k20, the answer is quite alot!

[hybridbeat]

i don't need that JDM K20a. it's just a 10HP Difference between a USDM K20a2 and a JDM K20a.

Oh! and an LSD.

with the rest of the money difference I can squeeze out more than just 10HP, my friend.

Thanks =]

[popdancebeats]

5000 for type-r brakes suspension seats floors engine body lsd its well worth it

[hybridbeat]

Engine? There's no need

brakes? not that good

seats?... bleh...

Floors? hjahahhaaha

LSD? yeah... ok...

Suspension? can do better

Sure if you're not gonna tune it, you're golden

But if you are... you have 5K to play with

and I'm the kinda guy that likes to play, so...

[popdancebeats]

dude type-r gear is much better than normal kit seats are over 1k each then engine has better components is just more and the respect of actual jdm equipment!

[hybridbeat]

bro, Ep3 typeR was developed in the UK....

get your facts straight

[popdancebeats]

im sorry you dont know what jdm means its japanese domestic market which is the stuff that the japanese people get i dont give a fuck if it was made in uk its still jdm

[hybridbeat]

if you don't give a fuck, you're in denial.

just believe what you want, you dumb ignorant Fuck.

it was designed in the UK, thus it is UKDM, dumbass

get a new hobby, because you know jack shit about cars.

[popdancebeats]

lol the uk get to keep the ukdm spec ep3 while they have to ship the jdm spec ep3's we can import them over here in aus as jdm models only fuck they are jdm even if they are made/designed/build in the uk jdm is jdm you dont get the good stuff without importing

[johnmiller1985]

well they are not designed in made in the UK. the design work is in done in japan and almost all the parts are made in japan. The cars are put together in the UK but almost everything has to be shipped form japan. the only reason that the JDM cars a better is Honda don't that that the JDM cars will sell outside japan. they believe that the JDM cars type r's are to hardcore to be sold anywhere else. altho the now FD2 is being sold in Malaysia

[veedubrep]

it's not ukdm it's edm (european domestic market) and both the jdm version and the edm version were manufactured in swindon england

[veedubrep]

so maybe you should get your facts straight.

[fizixskate]

20 HP difference

[IThommoI]

your camber looks fucked haha

[king2fan]

seems like good value for the money to its performance, are the running and maintenance costs high for this civic type r?

[miniator]

wise up, hondas are seriously expensive to tune. this guy spent thousands on cams, manifolds etc and only gained 53bhp.....

[miniator]

Naturally Aspirated....as for mods...filter and exhuast would be first on my list

[kaoskid7]

can someone tell me what "N/A" stands for??

Ive just got myself a Civic Type R, Love the VTEC :) when that kicks in it sounds and feels awesome..

Any advice on what mods to go for first??

[rehmant]

Why all you guys bitching for?

The Si has 197bhp but 7 less ft-lbs of torque and more weight but thats because the Si is available only in a coupe and saloon/sedan. There is no Si in u.k but we have the Type s which has 160bhp.

[shortstop12088]

nice car but AMERICA owns all your bitch ass countries

[wotton43]

lovley car dude im soooo gealous !! lol i have a mb6 and its good enought for me at the moo but you cant beat the sound of vtec . i think its great too have that power without turbo's there just a copout i think ..

[Terrimxmad]

how about a dictionary first mate?

[MustafaN80]

lol ive sewen da hondata eu wih make da vteh kik in at about 4000 rpm

[johnmiller1985]

is there anyone what can read "i'm fucked out my face on drugs and can't type english" is saying?

[MustafaN80]

wots da best ecu to purchase. ?

[typeracing85]

What mods got on it? you must have spent big bucks on it to make that hp and still be n/a, NO?

[notoriousdholi]

sounds baaad!!

[ScrewBinLaden]

ep'3s are gay you wont touch my boosted stock ls

[miniator]

Shut up you stupid american! Of course it wont, considering your using forced inductions....its like comparing chalk and cheese!

[quickmantan]

americans are dicks when it comes to civics they know shit, cause in america they dont have the fucking pleasure of having type Rs they only get the shitty lower range civics

[h1coupe]

the 2006- SI civic isn´t exactly lower range, it´s even got an lsd that´s lacking in our euro type-R´s!

and the civic probably wouldn´t have the following it has without the americans.

[quickmantan]

lsd you must be tripping on lsd if you think the si isnt lower range..

we have the si over here too, its basically a standard civic...

the car in the video is a type R

[h1coupe]

I think you should check your facts and read up on the american 2006- Si civic, it is very similar to the type-R and is nothing like a base model.

it is equipped with a k20z3 197hp 139lb.ft torque, engine. almost identical to the engine in the ep3 type-R! it´s a very well equipped car and as I stated even has an lsd on top of all.

[quickmantan]

its 160 bhp you muppet,

it doesnt have a body kit on it looke like a standard civic, it doesn thave bucket seats,,, or 17 inche alloy wheels, it also has orange indicator lights, which means standard shite car

[hybridbeat]

he's talking about the new Generation Civic you prick!

not the EP3. moron!

READ!

If there are words written, then READ!!!!!!!

[quickmantan]

yer but i was talking about the friggin ep3.. and this video is a ep3,, i dont care if the fn2 has lsd cause the cars is slower, handles worse, and is not as good as the ep3

[hybridbeat]

well that's Honda of UK's own making.

After All the FN2 is British only...

Why the made a car that's not better beats me...

[quickmantan]

beats me too myab cause the ep3 was so good, everyone was expecting the new honda to improve, but they actually made it worse.. put it this way is the evo x better tha the rest, is the new subaru better than the rest,, no exactly its just a bad batch of cars that come out., the ep3 is amazing,, the fn2 is a good car but not better than the ep3

[quickmantan]

it has 160 BHP, not 200BHP like type R, also mention apart from lack of body kit, bucket seats engine tuning,, better wheels, big spoiler, i vtec DOHC

redlines at 8,200rpm, the Si redlines at 6,400 rpm

the si in america is the top model and isnt standard, but to europe and japan,, the Si is standard... and thats why everyone that slags civics off are american,,, cause theyve never seen a type R.. and if youve seen a type R and think its junk then you know shit about cars, or just jealous

[h1coupe]

where did I say that the type-R was junk?

2 of my friends have type-R´s and I love them. and the 2001-2005 SI civic is 160hp it is i-vtec and dohc but it has a econo vtec not the high lift vtec.

but as I stated the 2006- civic SI is a 197hp car and it has got and lsd it is available as a coupe and a 4door has now been added. as I said befor you should read alittle about the car befor you start calling people names, and making yourself look like a dick!

[quickmantan]

dont ty and twist it now!! the car in this video is not the new fn2 plus the coupe is called fd2..

and your still wrong america does not have type R model which means they do not have 197bhp model..

[h1coupe]

fd2 is the jdm 4door type-R it´s not a coupe.

FG2 - 2006-2008 Civic Si (Coupe) - K20Z3

FA5 - 2006-2008 Civic Si (Sedan) - K20Z3

those are the cars I am talking about, and they don´t have to be type-R´s to have the 197hp engine, it´s also available in those 2006- Si civics, and the csx type-S and Rsx-S acuras. now stop arguing about something you obviously know little about and do as I told you in the first place and read up on the civic then come back!

[quickmantan]

also the si doesnt have LSD.. the LSD is on the new civic the FN2 which is noway near as good as the ep3... its slower, the chassis is stiff, alot more over steer... and basically alround worse...

[cwh1985deep]

in the uk thats a civic sport and its below the type r muppet

[dominoc5]

I'm sure that you have the biggest penis too.
