   I've recently been looking in to getting my Type R remapped, I've just had it fully serviced, japspeed sports cat with stainless steel exhaust. Dyno run says its running at 225bhp but what gains would I get for a remap? 20-30 bhp maybe?

   Talk to Daz at endless horizon there isn't much he doesn't know about Hondas and tuning them, tell him rusty pointed you in his direction

   you will be lucky if you can find some one that will remap the standard ecu without a piggy back such as the hondata k pro or the k100.
   
   And where did you get a dyno run that give you 225. with just a exhaust and a cat.

   I went to a place called powerstation in cheltenham. Cost me £45 for one run and the exact reading was 225. They have good reviews and accurate readings so that's why I went

   A map wont give you any where near 20hp on a N/A car with vtec or not.

   Well maybe the dyno is reading a bit over but the guy ain't going to bullshit he's only repeating what the graph says so why the attitude ffs.
   
   This place is unreal at times....

   The k20 lump on ctr's generally respond better to basic breathing mods than saxo's do
   
   To the op, before the remap, change the exhaust manifold/header to a decent stainless one or one off a dc5 if your on a budget as the standard ep3 one is restrictive, and get a decent induction too, then look into a remap. With all that 250bhp is a reasonable target to aim for
   
   Btw the standard ecu can't be mapped on its own, you'll need something like a k100 or k-pro if you want to self map it, or if your on a budget you can use a dastek or get the standard ecu chipped on p28 etc

   settle down boys
   
   ep3 is 198 and if its a jap spec its 208 as std with a very small dia ex system -under 2"
   --so its possible on a nice cold day with larger ex and free flow cat it could get a big hike in power
   I know when I did a rotrex s/c conversion and swopped std system for a custom btb+ sports cat it made another 40+ bhp
   and car as std before any work made 180@wheels -- so its possible
   
   as to a remap --doubt its worth the cost if your keeping it std
   if your hoing to do more things to it ,then go for a mappable ecu

    The airflow in the powerstation dyno cell is bloody epic.

    Thread cleaned. If you want a bitch fight, take it to PM's. That's enough here.

    I've just sold my type r but my friend had a gippie m induction kit, 421 branch and a 3" system, and a spoon inlet with a k100 ecu. After map and dyno it came out at 260bhp
