lol, nice. Ya, I don't know about removing all of that! lol, i just want the damn cable out of my engine bay!

 

Try tucking it somewhere and zipting it out of the way.

 

Ya that's a good idea. You know, just for now until I decide to remove it. It's getting cold over here in Jersey and I don't want to mess with it in the cold lol. When kpro comes im definately zip tying it.

 

how much did it all run you

 

200 for the manifold and 50 for the adapter

Did the rest myself.

It will cost more if you buy a pre modified manifold.

 

Mods can this be stickied?ray:

 

Does anyone on here have any hood closing fitment issues? I read other places where the hood latch had to be removed.

 

The only fitment issue is the AC line sits a little higher. The solution is to unbolt it from it's stock location and bend it towards your intake a little bit to allow the hood to close.

 

Ok sounds pretty easy to fix. I read reviews on crsx, I wonder if there is fitment issues with the type s. Anyway I have a base.

 

Ya it's the same on both. I pushed mine to the right and under my ram air intake. The first time I attempted rbc I bent my hood cause im a dumb-ass! lol, but this time I got it to work out perfect. Good luck man. I have had the rbc in for a couple weeks, love the sound and power difference. Just gotta get kpro, im a hundred bucks short. lol

 

Keep saving up. I want to get kpro then do the rbc swap. maybe in may I can get kpro.ray:

 

:thumbsup:

 

The thing is, I just found an a2 motor with trans,axle, harness, shifter box and cables for 2200.00. I might hop on this first.:giggity:

 

Sounds like a good deal:thumbsup:

 

I just reread it and it says best offer, so im going to go with 2g's and see what happens. I now have $1,054.00 just sitting here. lol, christmas week I will have the rest. God I can't wait. Ok, so should I kpro my base ecu or buy a type s ecu and kpro that? I really don't feel like spending an extra 600 on another ecu!

 

The base ECU will work fine as long as it is K-pro'ed

 

good looking man!

 

A2 for that price seems pretty good, I would go that route..

 

got,1800 and dude wont budge! Ftl.... got to wait two more weeks

 

serious bro.. go the the scrap yard and get a type S complete engine for like $1200
buy kpro for your ECU and install the motor.

our base axle, tranny, mounts, harness all the will work
as long as ecu is kpro and you get a completed engine (injectors, intake, TB) your laughing...
then sell your motor for $500-800 and get RBC, exhaust thats my plan

 

I never found an rsx in the junk-yard yet. But anyways, this comes wit harness,axles, header, s mani, 6 spd trans, shifter box/cables and throttle body. I already have rbc, and s throttle body. Was gonna buy kpro, but I want to get the motor first. I'm going to build the bottom end and buy the full race or peak-boost turbo kit and then slap it in all at once.:laughing:

 

honestly i would spend the 2200 and get that complete swap. you can always source other parts like the 5 speed tranny and shifter. i just think it would be best but then again i like accumulating parts so thats my thing

 

Would the s harness that comes with the swap, work with my ecu? I'm going to have a closet full of stuff soon. I got the guy down to 2 grand but still gotta wait til I get paid in two wks so I don't wipe out my account.

 

help

so if i installed a type s intake and a type s 70 mm throtle body do i need to have kpro and do i need to switch the tps wires around

 

so if i installed a type s intake and a type s 70 mm throtle body do i need to have kpro and do i need to switch the tps wires around

Your gonna need kpro and to switch the outside wires to fit the s body. Ive driven mine without kpro and still haven't kpro'd it yet. I had the rbc,karcepts and s throttle body on for about two months without kpro. I drove the car about a total of 40 miles since the swap in two months. I am nervous to drive it much without kpro. The cel is on for both sensors and the car idles rough between 1-2500. It surges but ater it warms up, you can't tell it's got cel on because it rips and idles normal. lol, I know I shouldn't have drove it but what the hell. lol rbc:thumbsup:

 

what is difference between rbc manifold and type s? i want to swap my base plastic one for the metal one. is there difference between type s and rbc manifolds? or can i simply get a type s intake and bolt it on without any other mods? im confused on this subject.

 

So, the problem either way you go, is going to be your two imrc (intake manifold runner control) sensors. The reason u need kpro is because neither of the two manifolds stated, have the imrc in them. (kpro enables you to delete them) Without kpro, your ecu is going to see them missing and flood your engine with gas or lean it out. You can use the s manifold but will need the adapter and s throttle body. The gaskets for our a3 tb is different than the a2. If I were you, I would buy rbc, karcepts adapter, s throttle body and kpro. The rbc mani has more even air flow and better top end power gains, plus it sounds insane when vtec kicks. You could use the base cai or rai but it's gonna be a tight fit. just remember to swap the outside wires on your tps because s bodies tps is opposite of ours.

 

i have been driving mne without kpro and it drives ok till u give it full throthle then it bogs down

 

how true is this? im planning to to install mine on my ep3 with out the kpro yet. interesting

 

well I have the s throttle body, hondata gasket, karcepts adapter, rbc mani with injen rai and mine just screams. It kinda falls on it's face for a split second when you punch it from a dead stop, but other than that, it sounds mean and you feel it pull hard at top end. I'm not driving mine any more for a while tho, until I get kpro.

 

nice write up

 

guys, stop doing mods like this without k-pro. you have no idea what your doing to your engine. no clue if its running rich or lean or what effects its having. if your serious about modding, get the damn k-pro first. its alot better than blowing shit up or screwing up your car. if you cant afford it, then maybe you should rethink what your trying to do in the first place. this hobby aint cheap, and if you go cheap, you go expensive fixing what cheap broke.

 

I completly agree with Rick here.

Kpro was my first mod and if you want to gain any power or potential out of your mods you will need it. Without it you are risking your engine and are basically just wasting money.

You have to pay to play :vtec:

 

who says we dont have money? i hear your argument, i aint driving her, i did rip it a couple times tho. i didnt buy it, cause some dude was selling an a2 swap. anyways, the car just sits. The guy with the motor flaked so, I guess im gonna buy kpro. I just got done with my bankruptcy, so i am going to have fun with my car this year, mod-wise! AS stated tho, DO NOT INSTALL WITHOUT KPRO, IT"S DANGEROUS FOR THE ENGINE. I drove mine without it, dumb move really.

 

:iamwiths: who says we dont have money? lol

 

hey guys i just replaced my intake manifold for the PRB and theres 2 plugs left hanging around! what should i do to not have a CEL on? i dnt have kpro i have a prb ecu also! everythin runs fine but check engine light on those plugs =/

 

the plugs go to the secondary runner system

your not gonna be able to use the prb ecu on the car. theres really nothing you can do to get rid of the cel aside from covering it up somehow or just getting kpro
