I figured U might have the scoop on whats next from Duratec Perf. I already looked at a lot of different sites but your company has the most support 4 the dtec 2.3. I decided that after i did a 50 series flow, id buy that ceramic header DP makes. So my ? is if you are working on pullies, cams and cam gear, and ANY other stuff in your batting order because I would have rather just bought your tru cold air than buying the civic intake like I did and MAKE it fit. Besides, the money would kinda go to a fellow RPS man instead of some 3rd rate ricer company! P.S. If ne of u guys know other companies who make stuff for the duratec 2.3 besides Duratec Perf., please help. :drunk: Thanx!

Well beyond the True CAI it is gonna take a while for more mods. We are looking for another cam company and adj cam gears wont be as easy considering we use a timing chain but when I have my cams out for a swap Ill look into what can be done to make some adj. cam gears. All of the stuff that other companies make for the Dtec is either just intake and exhaust or really really expensive. There is one company making hipo cams for the Dtec but they are for circle track racers and the set costs $1800.00 so I dont think thats going to work to well for us. They also have internals but also at really high prices. Hope this helps...

Any update on the CAI?? Last I heard they were supposed to be taking care of final fitment issues on Monday. Did this happen? Thanks.

Gracias, Brian. I figure by the time I do the Flow & rear pipe, there should be some sweet stuff on the market. BTW, U did the ceramic header, right? You
feel it was worth it from the 'seat of the pants' dyno, as far a bolt-ons are concerned? If so, then the header + cat with a Flowie and 2 1/2 in pipe would make for a pretty strong, affordable combo.. O yeah, any closer to having RPS's first turbo'd Duratec? Good luck! :thumbsup:

We are hoping to get the final fitment on the CAI on the 27th. Maybe earlier but we shall see. The header was worth it cause having useable power down low in the powerband.

If you want tq. dont go 2.5" Im running that and it has high end but little low... but maybe thats to do with going from stock 27" tires to 31" and not regearing. The turbo Dtec is a matter of me making some more money so we shall see.
