WEPR (Wicked EP Racing) are not traders on here but they certainly do sell the CT9 power up kit. I have just bought a fmic and mani from Sasha who runs WEPR and they are awesome quality. Here is a link to the Power Up Kit!! Bear in mind you ideally have to use their downpipe included with the kit and the mani actually changes the position of the turbo slightly. You'll also need an external wastegate and a CT9 with the wastegate flap welded or plated shut. They are having an anniversary sale at the moment which ends in five days so I'd be quick to take advantage. Anniversary Sales Prices!

Just a quick update to freshen things up. All Stage 2 mods have arrived (WEPR fmic & mani) and am picking up the blitz decat Sunday afternoon Will be on the way to Jays Garage on Monday to make the trip up to SS for rolling road and engine checkup. If we can get anything else sorted that day it'd be a real bonus, got a bright and early start Just been out in the wee beastie and she defo rocks for a standardish power setup. I'll make sure to take some vids and photos to boost up this thread Joz

Everyone's ambitions and situations are different I went all out and didn't get much return performance wise because tuning the n/a can be very unpredictable/experimental and expensive. I went through all the mapping and all it gave me was a better fuel curve. I have the most respect for everyone who is sticking with the FE's and trying things that are different. For example Joel's NOS project and Steed's itb'd Seo. Without sounding big headed I've probably spent the most on an n/a EP and it IS hard work for little gain. I must say that I did enjoy the experimental side of things and having

Sweet updates as usual bro, civic rad looks the muttleys in your bay 2.30am? Pah doesn't beat our 3am bleeding fingers jam If you still fancy the SR dials I'll take them on my next costa visit. I'm also changing to a WEPR so I'd let my Ed mani go for a steal I'll be on mot duties next month, freaking hate it lol. Joz

As said, just save up and turn dreams into reality... Thats for car parts, not women Unless you're a sugar daddy of course! Wait til you have to put a full tank of petrol into one guys lol Joz

Depends on what your budget is Joel bro Do you want JDM or cheaper gauges? I'm going DEFI later on, but this site has some interesting stuff, worth a look Xyberauto Joz

No worries ;) Top price you will get for an n/a engine excluding gearbox nowadays is around £150 in good working order. Its just finding a buyer in need of one. Joz

£800 will get you a decent (working and running) 2nd hand 4EFTE engine package with all wiring looms/gearbox and driveshafts sourced by Jays Garage. I'd recommend a GT engine (stronger rods) over a Glanza engine if given the choice with a glanza turbo unit (CT9b) £250 for hybrid wiring job from weejohn (integrates fte wiring into your 4efe loom = plug and play) Rear axle with disc brakes are not necessary but a bonus. All work is done in N.Ireland, have just had mine done by the same team. Installation is inexpensive as long as you are willing to learn something and have a go

Can't believe this has already happened to your pride and joy Ste man. I once had my old corolla windscreen smashed in broad daylight. I guess all you can do is be positive and look onward and upward like you said buddy. Karma will get those mofos good and proper, don't worry. Just try not to lose interest, you have plenty of good times ahead with this one. All the best. Joz

Glad you came to a decision mate Just like me you've invested too much time into that EP91 chassis and have become attached to it as a result. Make sure to shop around and I hope insurance treats you well. You are now on the true path Joz

Update - Stage 2 Tuning Commences Stage 2 is now up and running Have ordered a brand new WEPR FMIC and WEPR CT9 mani. Waiting on a mint Blitz Decat to become available also. The HKS actuator now sets boost @0.8bar = boosty mcboost. Wont be long now to see SS for an engine check and RR. The Evo Recaros are going back in with some new seat rails from a secret source Also have a new gear knob on the way to replace the JAM I just sold, should be fun ^^ So many TDO4 kits are coming up for sale but for now I'm going to get the most outta the CT9. Expect a few photo updates soon. Joz

Did you not notice me giving the other guitar an alternative tuning lmao. Didnt want to break your heart Jay I did forget the other verse to that song tho! Next time will seriously rock when we are all well again Joz

Joel he who dares wins! ;) Next time should be an even better session (more drinks, more music, more playstation) Jay was taking the show away so me & Phil didnt want to steal his limelight Was good to finally meet you and Alan bro That Tokyo racing game has GT & Glanza in it by the way!!! Pikachu Glanza V appeared when you guys left ;) Joz

I hope the 'bride' serves you well dude Good to catch up once again! Joz

I have a whole SR clock cluster here Joel. Are you heading to Jay's tomorrow night? If so I'll bring them if they'll be any help. Joz

Looks like everyone had a lot of fun! Thats the difference UKSC makes, one huge gathering of peeps = fun times Joz

Will be seeing you Saturday night broski UKSCNI Unplugged. Joz

She should fly through the mot mate Health to *ahem* vtec Joz

Your GT could also possibly be running a bit rich which will affect fuel consumption. Stinky gasses usually come from running rich or unburnt fuel, which mine does. Any breathing mods will usually cause this i.e decat, gutted cat, mani, uprated exhaust system. I'll be getting mine tuned by emanage soon but the car runs fine and pulls as it should, when it should. The stop/start treatment will consume more fuel but it can't be avoided really. I'd say I drive similar to you (town drivng), warm up and cool the car down and give it full beans on private land, using 3rd to overtake when needed on

Thanks for confirming that Motion My 5EFE certainly didn't, thats the thing. Good info. Joz

A good indication would be to look back at Whitelines braces as I'm pretty sure there was the 2 bolt problem back then as well and people had to drill. Hardcore EP91 Cusco is always 100% for rear brace fitment but the plastic mount covers either have to be trimmed or removed. Joz

4EFE would also be missing a hole in the block for the knock sensor which FTE has. Joz

Will last 100% as long as its maintained and never starved of engine oil or other fluids. Ensure as much as possible that its warmed up and cooled down to prolong turbo/engine life and operation. Making sure cooling system is clean and working properly and there are no oil leaks anywhere, if there is rectify them as soon as possible as could be serious if not attended to. Oh and its a kickass engine. Joz

I hope its nothing serious Bill. Keep in touch mate Joz

What is your budget? Any decent forged jdm wheel would suit perfect i.e Rays TE37 or 57F. Light enough to lift with one finger. Joz
