how well serviced is your car?
has the cambelt ad waterpump been done yet? due to the adge of an ek9 even low mileage ones should have this done after being imported!
as well as that i would have allthe basics done
-oil and filter change
-valve clearances
-timing checked
-new plugs (leads also if the current ones are a bit knackered)
-any other servicing work needed
also what intake do you have? i've heard that ek9's and other type R's perform best with the standard airbox and just a panel filter.
my friends old ek9 has a aem cai and it left a nasty flat spot in the revs and he ended up having a unichip fitted and his car dyno tuned to make the best of his mods as his car was also down on power! his car was about 171bhp before and then 195 after unichip and vtec module fitted. that was with same mods as yours - intake, header, exhaust with sports cat. he also started running the car only on super unleaded too which helped!
