Yeah I know what you mean Craig the inlet manifold really doesnt fit in with the colour coding.
I will be changing the Inlet manifold too though eventually for the RBC Inlet followed by a Hondata K Pro ECU and Mapping :) got to be done

I think with the Piper Manifold its probably going to be too loud lol :lol:
Dont want to kill my ear drums so once its fitted i'll see how loud it is and maybe fit a silenced centre section because its already really loud now :)
Sounds like a super bike once you hit V-TEC

Its not actually too bad on fuel if you drive sensibly but if your constantly in the VTEC rev range then your only going to return 12-15 MPG :shock:
Brilliant car though and great fun to drive, loved my GTI but I was already afraid to give it some stick because of the fragile gearbox but the Civic just loves to be abused 8)

Yeah you certainly know when VTEC Kicks in!

It sounds immense with the Tegiwa Intake because it makes the crossover so aggresive :wink:

Cheers Rhys :)

They look pretty good when pimped out :) I love a bit of engine bling
Power wise its probably around 210-213 bhp at the moment and you really can feel the difference in power from when I first bought it.
Its booked in for a Piper Manifold & Sports CAT on the 20th of March so I would expect around 220+ bhp when they are fitted.

I'm hoping to be running about 240bhp by the end of the year but to achieve that I will need a RBC inlet manifold, Hondata K Pro ECU & Custom Mapping :)
I'll have to get some more videos up soon for you guys :mrgreen:

Should easy see that mate, btw. What's the difference in parts from the ctr k20 and the s2000 k20?? Coz that has 240bhp as standard??? Is it internals and intake change?

The engines are different in the S2000's mate they have a F20C engine and not the K20. (I thought they had a K20 too until recently)
Quite similar engines but the S2000's are alot harder to tune because the original parts are very good so replacing exhausts, manifolds etc dont really produce big gains

The S2000 is a complete animal, lovely looking car and is one of the best cars Honda have ever made.

240bhp should be achievable, a lot of people get 250 with the same mods but I would be happy with anything over 235 :)

Cheers Verity :) yeah got quite a lot done in the last 3 months
I agree about the intake manifold it does spoil my colour theme, when I upgrade to the RBC inlet manifold I wont be able to use the Carbon inlet cover so with that missing it may look alright :)
