Olly heads to Dynodaze to get the ECU remapped on his Honda Civic Type R EP3. Most of the modifications have been leading up to this point. From the Skunk2 Ultra Inlet Manifold to the Tegiwa Induction Kit and the Full Spoon Sports N1 Exhaust system. All of these come together to make the car feel more alive. Olly also installs an Acuity TPS sensor as the OEM unit was throwing the car into Limp Mode.

Our Pleasure man, love your channel so pretty proud moment for me to be fair. Keep up all the good work and thanks for the youtube tips :)

[@OllyRoss]

Really appreciate that! That is pretty epic! No worries man! Congrats on 1000 videos! Haha

[@TypeRTweaks]

Great video Olly. Danny and Rich @Dynodaze are awesome 👍 car sounds great, even better with some pops, bangs and flames 🔥👍

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Can't go wrong with a couple of flames! Haha

[@Al3jandro526]

Arguably the cleanest ep3 ever.

[@OllyRoss]

It really isn’t! If you saw it in person you would understand what I mean! Appreciate it though!

[@bananajoe2738]

Love from New Zealand, recently sold my JDM ep3 due to student reason, miss it every single day. Anyway, always love your video:)

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! That is a shame but maybe the future as another one for you! Haha. I am glad you are enjoying the content!

[@FN2OPS]

Nice vid mate. She sounds great. I would suggest to go for a 3” system like the solid fabs

[@isaabas389]

Yep I got similar mods on mine, decat 421, skunk 2 inlet and solid fab cat back and made 250 bhp all day long

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Yeah, I am thinking that the Solid Fab one is the way to go

[@TomDLid]

I have a japspeed 421, 2.5" gravity mid pipe and M2 kickback style backbox. Made 252bhp at tdi north, still running standard inlet manifold

[@craiggibson3523]

Great video as always. Shame u didn’t get better power. I think everyone always expect more in there heads. I thought defo be 240hp or tiny bit more. Mines 238hp with rbc tegiwa intake piper 421 with race cat and m2 spoon cat back same size exhaust I believe it’s 2.3ish 2.5-2.75 they say is best but I’m on the fence with going bigger. Car sounds great mate

[@ep3ormerod494]

Every dyno is different mate mine made 227 on tegiwas dyno my mates was 236 on another dyno and different mapper from start rolling at 40,60 mine was quicker

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Yeah, It's just one of those things I guess. The car feels great though so stay tuned for the first drive video! Yeah the Spoon system is 2.3inch so I assume the M2 will be the same.

[@ChrisDC5TypeR]

Mine was the exact same bud my exhaust let it down I have a HKS at the moment .. I should get my 70mm Tegiwa cat back end of this month should make a difference.. great content mate as always 🤙

[@OllyRoss]

Let me know if you do get any changes as I am interested to know what happens! Glad you enjoyed the video though!

[@kristianharley7231]

Car sounds amazing! Theres only about 3-4hp in a 2.75 inch exhaust (named the 3 inch) over a 2.38 inch (named 2.5 inch) on a NA set up with bolt ons only, so the fact that they blamed this on a 20hp loss is unjustified. Take it to another dyno buddy and do a pull, i bet it makes 240+. The Spoon exhaust is a decent exhaust system im running 272hp with it. With bolt ons alone i was running 242-248hp with the exact same Spoon exhaust measured on 3 different dynos. If there is any power loss it will be from closer to the engine which is your Spoon manifold. The Spoon manifold does not flow as well as the typical 4-2-1 race header such as DC sports or Tegiwa.

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man. We shall see, I am going to enjoy the car for a bit and then weigh up my options.

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Totally Justified, its all about flow, 2.25inch with an uprated inlet manifold is Just NOT big enough

[@kristianharley7231]

@@DynodazeHondaTuners Ollys exhaust is 2.4 inch not 2.25, its a Spoon N1 you should know this since you mapped it. The difference in diameter from a 3" (2.75) to a 2.5" (2.38) inch is 0.37". On a bolt on set up there is no way this small margin can be accountable for 20hp loss. You did a great job at tuning clearly the graph is a nice curve and mid range made 50hp but to blame just the exhaust on 20hp is very unjustified. I have exactly the same exhaust and inlet manifold and i made 248, 245 and 241 on 3 different dynos. At the end of the day its only peak power figures but Spoon the pioneers of Honda tuning do not make restrictive performance parts.

[@RealMoneyTarutarus]

Actually loved the video and power comparison analysis. Can't wait when I get that tegiwa intake on mine one day. Thanks Olly 👍

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! I am glad it was useful to you! The Tegiwa intake sounds so good! You won't be disappointed!

[@TimV1987]

Got a tegiwa header, customized to 3" exit and a Solid Fab 3" catback. It's fine but one day when i rebuild the engine, probably build a full Solid Fab exhaust (with the big header) Greetz from Holland!

[@OllyRoss]

Nice one! I am not sure there is much gain with the big bore header. You may gain a couple of hp but will loose some torque. I could be wrong but it has been documented out there.

[@dimitrimurray2892]

Great video mate, keep up the good work! always look forward to the videos :)

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! Really appreciate that! First drive video coming soon!

[@bassbombdom]

Was expecting about 250 tbf but it's true about your exhaust! 3" straight through, do it, you know yo wanna

[@jackwatson5400]

Good video olly tegiw cat back or solid fab super silent with a solid fab manifold you’ll be quite a bit more power from her

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man. Yeah, the Super Silent one has peaked my interest. Not sure if I want to do the manifold as well but maybe once I see if my current one makes a huge difference to power or not.

[@jackwatson5400]

@@OllyRoss can’t go wrong with the big bore manifold and pretty sure you can get a cat placed in to if you like

[@laughinboii]

Yes Olly. Spitting flames 🔥 enjoyed this video. Look forward to the video you mentioned doing 👌🏾

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Yeah, that video will be out soon!

[@SuperNuk3]

hey mate, look like they tuned it great because the curve linear. As he said if you want maximum power 70mm exhaust is a must ( ive got 3inch ) and also you might wanna get different headers like PLM or tegiwa. but enjoy your car you will love it, thought ill add my 2cents since ive had my ep3 for 8 years and been through all this =D

[@OllyRoss]

I will probably end up doing a 3" catback but keep the Spoon manifold. Only because of my JDM fanboyism! Haha. Thanks for your input though! I am definitely going to enjoy the car for a bit anyway!

[@jasonboyle7203]

M3 tape your front grill down as it is nice edition 👌 seen it flapping in the dynodaze shorts

[@OllyRoss]

Haha! Yeah, I know, That was just down to the angle of the fan. When driving it doesn't do that. I do need to stick it down again though. It just means its one extra thing to unbolt if I want to take the bumper off! Haha

[@nickgill2368]

solid fab 3 inch. can get one which is track compliant as well

[@OllyRoss]

Yeah, that is what I'm leaning towards

[@SimonStolarek]

Nice vid! Doubt the exhaust would have made so much difference in power. With the mods you have I would have expected at least 240bhp, unless the engine is not so healthy. Mines got a 2.5" and I made 252bhp. Take it to Romain @ Racecal that guy is an amazing mapper.

[@Paranormalcoffeelounge]

Roman got 235 out mine dude love it he says let's go make some power lol

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! I will enjoy the car as is for a bit as I have more plans for the future anyway! Only heard good things about Romain though!

[@arunmorjaria8885]

Great video mate I would go for a 3”solid fab exhaust👌

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Yeah, a lot of people are mentioning the Solid Fab one.

[@maddscooterpro]

Solid fabrications manifold and full exhaust would benefit you in more power

[@OllyRoss]

I am getting this recommendation from 99% of people so it clearly is the one! Haha

[@darknight508]

Would be interesting if you could get it on another dyno and do power run and see what it makes on there if any difference From where you mapped it. Wouldn’t make an difference but good for a KZbin video. Also you need a solid fab super silent exhaust I have one no drone. It really good. Although I still have the cat and stock manifold on.

[@OllyRoss]

Yeah, that could be interesting comparison that I could do down the line. I am thinking about the super silent exhaust as my car is pretty loud with the Spoon bung out.

[@mavicprotoe3959]

Nice job i want to get mine done next

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! I have actually had it mapped again since then with some Drop in Cams and a bigger exhaust. There is another video of that on the channel too if you are interested?

[@mavicprotoe3959]

Didnt relize tdi north had stopped trading gutted was only 5 miles from mine

[@LukeIsRecording]

Great video mate, good result with the mid range power!🙌🏾

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Yeah, that midrange feels unbelievable now!

[@jackweta]

get a 3" exhaust matched to your header its cheaper to change your header to match your exhaust than do a custom system. your throttle body could do with a 70-74mm job. Are you running a catch can i am seeing lot of oil on you intake throttle body.

[@SpiritBlueFezST]

It's not too bad power wise to be honest. I don't know if this dyno reads a bit lower than others or it is more accurate compared to others but the car may read 230bhp+ elsewhere. I guess all you can do is get a wider bore exhaust and see how it does next time round. 👍🏼

[@OllyRoss]

The car feels great in the midrange. I am just happy to have the car back in a proper drivable condition too. Spent too long babying it around! Haha! I guess there is only one way to find out if the exhaust makes a difference!

[@E19DY_R]

Olly, what were your symptoms for the OEM tps failing? Since changing it has it helped with the throttle response.

[@OllyRoss]

Mine needed changing because whenever I went full open throttle, it would throw the car into limp mode. Other things I think, can be the car revving itself or sluggish response

[@SanderMrChaos]

Great video mate!

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joe_rd1]

3" drone is literal aids. I would recommend that piper true 2.5" that cp performance can get hold of. If you type it in on the ep3 owners facebook group theres a few recent posts reviewing it. Came on a car i bought and I would highly recommend. Much better than the tegiwa 2.75" (which is actually just a 2.5")

[@OllyRoss]

Haha! Thanks man! I will take a look.

[@iDriveNotxDrive]

I have a 3inch solid fab exhaust on my civic it doesn’t drone at all, it’s by far the best sounding exhaust for the ep3!

[@chrissharp535]

I must admit I was pretty pissed when he said that it was your exhaust that was stopping more horsepower..:I’d definitely go with hks cause it sick when it’s straight piped on mines 😁😁😁😁

[@OllyRoss]

Haha! That must be soooo loud! Hahaha

[@devonehackett6389]

Looking at getting hondavert but not familiar with it - can you incorporate additional inputs to the ECU for tuning like Wideband, Water Temperature and Oil Pressure?

[@widgetgtr3596]

That’s weird I got 230bhp with just an air filter, race cat and 2.7” cat back so a skunk 2 inlet and 4-2-1 will only get me an extra 10bhp? Hardly seems worth it

[@OllyRoss]

Welcome to the world of N/A numbers! Haha! Yeah, it might end up with 15-20hp more peak power. Depends whether you are just happy saving the cash and sticking with where you are?

[@Irish_Jiagalo.]

Whats the resale vale on a car like yours, with around 180k miles. will they still be worth a few gran

[@OllyRoss]

They are going up in value now! With 180k, an EP3 would probably fetch £2k if it isn’t rotten and has been maintained

Just wondering what ECU you used? Might of missed you say it on the video but Yh I’m at this stage myself now and trying to find a cheaper but efficient alternative to a Kpro. I’ve done some research and asked around but heard soooo many different opinions. Just wondered what yours is mate?

[@OllyRoss]

I have the Hondavert ECU in mine man! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MikeyCTV]

@@OllyRoss compared to the hondata kpro other than price, do you know if there’s a big difference in them? Also did you purchase it from dynodaze when you got the map?

[@OllyRoss]

@@MikeyCTV not really. The KPro doesn’t give you any other features apart from you don’t get the Bluetooth for the gauges. I answer this in more detail in the first drive video from the first map if you want more info. Yeah, I got it from Dynodaze.

[@fewhavestrength]

cheers Olly 👍🏻

[@brickhead48]

Would highly recommend Solid Fab Manifold & Tegiwa 70mm exhaust, flyby video on my channel. Mine made 245bhp with this setup at EFI Parts

[@OllyRoss]

Yeah, Solid Fab are at the top of my list. I have heard that the Tegiwa system is actually 2.5" as its measured at 70mm OD. Either way, that is still bigger than the 2.3" Spoon System!

[@jimmyscivicEP3]

great, how whp is make.??

[@OllyRoss]

This made 180 whp

[@Burto.h]

Don’t be dishearten by the print out, dynodaze dyno is mega restrictive, I have a print out for 247 from tdi north and then I ran a 221 on dynodaze dyno with the same mods as you

[@OllyRoss]

Does that mean I am running 247 too?? Haha. Maybe one day I will get it on another dyno to compare.

[@Burto.h]

@@OllyRoss tbf mate I reckon mines closer to 240 than 250 cuz tdi is known to be a bit complimentive but yeh dynodaze dyno is a bit restrictive, went to a dyno run day and a 420 bhp boosted fn2 that was mapped 2 weeks prior at tdi ran a 390 on dynodaze dyno, you’ll realise how quick yours is when you pull up next to a stock one and it dusts it 🤣 although heard the best things about J cal if you do go 3” pipe kit or tegiwa 2.75”

[@OllyRoss]

@@Burto.h Cheers man. Yeah, I would love to test it against a standard one. Would make an interesting video too! I have ideas moving forward though!

[@Burto.h]

@@OllyRoss yeh if you’re chasing higher numbers, the tegiwa 70mm looks promising or the solid fab 3” super silent from what I’ve seen in the forums

[@konholio2]

Are you running on the stock ECU ?

[@OllyRoss]

I have the Hondavert board in the standard ECU. Without one of the aftermarket boards, you can't map the standard ECU unfortunately

[@Ninja-357-]

Does the ACUITY need to be mapped in or can I plug it in and that’s it

[@OllyRoss]

It needs calibrating but Acuity do sell a calibration harness so you can calibrate it with a multimeter. The link to that is in the video description too!
