05 Civic EX tuning options

[AlexD]

have a friend with an 05 civic ex.

this spring it will have

built head
stage 2 crower cam
intake
header
exhaust

thinking maybe high comp pistons but not 100 percent sure.

what are the tuning options for these cars besides stand alone and AFC?

I was wondering if crome would be an option for this, and of course this will be tuned @ MAP

Hondata offers a kpro for it using an rsx-s ecu and a modified cam gear. Or use an AEM ems, which is what i suggest!

Word. Tuning is the last place to try to save a buck on

go big or go home. shoulda bought an si and swapped everything over body wise to make it look a base model

[AlexD]

in 2005 the si was in the hatchback version and his car is the coupe. theres nothing you can swap over bodywise

get parts together and a spare cylinder head to have everything put into the car for less down time. thats the plan i'm going with.
costs a little bit more in the long run, but everything goes smoother and everyting can be in on a weekend project :)
