    B16B Engine and Nitrous?

    Thanks for that mate, well it will be a 'wet' kit that would be installed. I understand that it is a 1.6 - a very well made 1.6 :) its either I spend ££££'s on a turbo kit/supercharger kit or ££££'s on N/A tuning or I could spend approx of £700 all in fitted for an extra 25-50bhp not...

    B16B Engine and Nitrous?

    If anything I will be using the wizards of NOS kit which comes with a fuel and nitrous solenoids so I think there shouldnt be any tuning needed.... if so I will just get my boss to do it somehow :D lol Has anyone on here actaully been using nitrous on their EK9? Mike

    B16B Engine and Nitrous?

    Sure will do that if I end up with nitrous and I know what you mean by not having it always there.... but good old UK weather it will never put the power down - I can get my Ibiza to spin up in 4th in wet conditions thats only 190ish bhp but does have like 300lb/ft! Anyway we shall see :)...

    EK9 Honda Civic Type R Weight Reduction advice

    How much do the rear seats weigh in at? I will be getting rid of these as they are black and the rest of the interior is red?!? I saved 25Kg In my Ibiza by removing the rear seats

    Spoon Ventuli plate

    Reminds me of a Evotuning heatshield gasket for the 1.8 20VT It reduces the intake temps of about 30Degrees per runner on the 1.8 20VT I take it, it might do something the same for the B16B? Very pricey! Group buy anyone?!

    B16B Engine and Nitrous?

    Each to their own mate just keeping my options open :) - whats the reason for being against NOS? I know the B16B is a fantastic engine... and I might end up going totally N/A and maybe even keep it standard.... yeah I doubt that!

    B16B Engine and Nitrous?

    Well I see a lot of turbo vs supercharger threads but none about nitrous: What does everyone think? I know with the VAG range they are spectacle, which is understandable but as I help with tuning in the VAG group I know that with a throttle position switch (TPS) and Minimax controller you...

    Uprated LSD/ATB Diff

    Well... is it worth doing it? At work we fit Quaife ATB diffs all the time the VAG range As the EK9 CTR has a LSD diff as standard... is it worth uprating it? If so what would you go for?

    Hello, EK9 Noob!!!

    Thanks for the welcome! I cannot wait to get one now! reading more and more about them! Is it true that they can do a 0-60 in 5.7sec (mph)? My diesel ibiza got 6.5sec and 14.9 1/4 mile at Santa Pod I think I will be getting one as a christmas prezzy for myself :)
