hmm how can anyone run a stock JDM in a Indian civic without a SWAP ?
guess v1p3r is talking about tonnes of these..see below.

so this is where the SWAPPED JDM stock engines are running.. In Indian civcs..

What would you go for ?? These bolt on parts or let some tuner work on your engine to make power .. |
where is all this comming from ? where are the parameters being changed ? when the dyno chart was posted in this thread did anyone also mention at that time it was not applicable to Indian engines ? then why post it ? what if I post a dyno chart of a "top fuel" dragster and say its possible to get 25 BHP gain with headers.
I can also say if I upgrade my engine with forged internals, supercharger, standalone EMS,intake manifold,bigger injectors, drag spec clutch , direct port NOS etc etc etc etc then I can make 200 BHP which is closer to the power of a USDM Acura RSX.
Instead of porting ,polishing my Indian D15, and then applying the headers and getting 10-12 BHP gain.
so will this will prove that the dyno chart is showing power gains feasible in a Indian civic becoz I can upgrade it to 200 BHP.??
again let me explain the original context
1] dynochart for xyz engine posted
2] I argued that same gains not possible for Indian engine
did anyone mention this "Thai engine" at that time ? why this change of direction?

Which would again amount to a SWAP as you put it .. So how do you intend to remap after a header change unless you swap an ECU ?? |
again to remind everyone what the original context was!!
question was asked if remap is reqd
answer is = ideally and theoratically yes, depending on the level of tune of the car, its "
good to have" but not an absolute must . this was clarified very nicely by Rdkarthik,ananth and myself
question was not if the Indian stock ECU can be swapped or remapped ? that question should have been asked after we said "yes remap would be better". Quote:

does travelling to Ooty change your engine specs so much ? is the engine so hyper tuned so its that sensitive ?
