Anyone got a clue as to where the best place for performance upgrades for the new civic typr r? and have you tried any yet? Sorry to detour the thread but you may like the answers too, hopefully. You know - too boost the torque a lot and bhp a bit or alot too.

Pop on an induction kit!!!
Some of the Honda R forum have rolling roaded the cars with a Blitz kit and gained 17bhp (16 at the wheels) and around 5-10 lbft torque.
The actual pre and post kit figures were around:
bhp at flywheel (calculated): pre:203 post:222
bhp at wheels: pre:170 post: 186.
It would seem the official 197bhp is conservative.
Some tuners are starting to work on exhausts. i know Spoon have already released a manifold and muffler kit but it retails on the cool side of a grand. The Blitz induction kit isn't great for filtration so I'd wait for an Apexi.
There was an add in Evo this month by ABP (?) with a few CTR bits.

17 bhp gain by just an airfilter is bit high don t you think
keep in mind it s no turbo engine
maybe they have run the test on 98ron fuel.
I have just the bought the car and this is a super car nice lift off oversteer the balance in the chassis is awesone i test drive the wrx also it no comparisation civic type R always.
my other car is an Evo 7 RS

Has anyone heard about a chip by Mugen(£1000 +).....I've heard that it can give up to 20 - 30 bhp....mmmmm......hard to believe on a non turbo car....also i have always found that induction kits on vtec engines dont really do much for power......certainly hard to believe above figures........would need to see some independant tests first..........i will certainly be decatting first......

Bash,
Go to this link http://uk.photos.yahoo.com/scottchuk and then click on Honda Civic, you will see some evidence that a 22bhp power increase through an induction kit is possible.
Also check this thread out on the Honda bbs

It's taken me 45mins to find that bloody link!, don't you hate it when you forget to bookmark good links.
