    Which OIL recommended for the B16b

    I have used Pro s for the past 4 years, never had any problems, in my DC5 or CRX track day car. The CRX would do 80 laps on a track day with no problems, i did that for 2 years and used it on the road a drive to Germany 25 laps of the ring. Really is top stuff.

    Its no differnt to 5th on the B18C box or 5th on b16a, i dont understand what your trying to say. On my crx track car the only time i have used 5th is at castle combe and at the Ring at most uk circuits. So it is no different at all. I dont know what JT is sayinh, my crx tops out at 135 on...

    b18 conversion complete

    I have tried all and prefer the 6 speed. I have all the Type R except the NSX and the new crap FD2. The 6th gear is not an overdrive, i can tell you that you dont change into 6th until 130mph, however, 6th will rev to 8200 rpm. I did mine on a trip to the Ring on an autobhan in Germany. It...

    Not so, you simply change the final ratio on the K20 box and gear it to work on the track if thats what you want to do. It give a more flexible motor as you dont have to rev it so hard in each gear to keep it in the vtec zone. The EP3 K20 is not the same as the JDM K20, so many things are...

    Burning oil still after rebuild...

    I would give Tom at TGM a call, he will tell you instantly if there is a problem, or you can just pop down to his workshop at Fleet and talk to him. Silkolene is a top oil for normal road use and most use it on track days. TGM use 10-60 in their race cars as it is always flat. I use 5-40...

    Group Buy: Dixcel Full Brake Setup

    I have FCR plain rotors and Z pads, these are a great set up, better than the project mu i had on before. They take the abuse at track days and still work off the drive on cold mornings. Dont make a noise either. top stuff.

    0-60mph times..??

    Yes, but it is my 4th Type R, i have had my DC5 for 3 years. I have been around here for some time but not felt the need to post as i didn't have much to say. I have been on the look out for an EK9 for some time. I need another type r to add to my collection. People shouldn't get hung up on...

    0-60mph times..??

    you need GPS timing equipment, you can not do it from the speedo, there is too much error, and when you claim sub 6 ses you better have accurate timing/speed otherwise you will prove nothing. Your car only has light mods and i doubt they will make much difference. You may get 5 bhp on...

    0-60mph times..??

    I read this with some interest, even modded you will not be sub 6 secs. it will be middle 6s, maybe low 6s if you have some decent mods. The EK9 is a cracking car but stop fooling yourselves it is quicker than it is.
