Toda Racing Balancer Shaft Killer Kit - FN2


CL7 Accord Euro-R & FN2 CIVIC Type-R use a balancer shaft and integrated oil pump system. Although useful for characterizing the Accord's street driving style, it does cause frictional losses of approx 5HP. For competition orientated cars, we have developed the Balancer Shaft Killer KIT that replacing this system for improved performance. FEATURE -Regains approx 5HP and reduces the engine weight by 4kg. -Can be installed without any modification on the engine block. -As for customers using TODA anti G force oil pan, please purchase the optional TODA oil baffle plate for balancer shaft killers (11200-K20-LB1 or 11200-K20-NB1) separately to maintain the performance of "Anti G force". -Oil pump relief pressure is more highly set up from standard specification for bearing protection at the time of delivery (approx 10% - 15% up).

This thing costs around BND$700+ and was said that its good value for money considering the performance gains. Check out the discussion about it on the civinfo forums.

FN2 J's Racing Exhaust Sprint Test



This vid is from the J's Racing Distributor in Thailand.

Not too sure about which J's Racing exhaust he has on but from the sound of it looks like the 70RR. Both the 60RR and 70RR is made out of titanium so its very light. Looking forward if they make the aluminium one.
Much more cheaper =]

Exhaust from Revolution Motorstore

Tuning supremos, Revolution Motorstore has released details of their latest exhaust system for the UK’s best selling hot hatch, the FN2 Honda Civic Type R. The new system was developed in close partnership with Revolution’s technical partners, Scorpion Exhausts, who undertook extensive gas-flow analysis and dyno testing, in conjunction with acoustic metering to ensure the perfect juxtaposition of power gain, torque increase and engine note.
Constructed in flawless T304 aircraft grade stainless steel, the Revolution system fits directly to the factory catalyst and down pipe, leaving them firmly in place to avoid future warranty headaches or emissions issues. Cleverly, the tailpipes fit neatly into the trademark factory triangular exhaust apertures, leaving the rear of the Honda looking factory fresh – until you start it up, that is! Having gained two independent dyno figures, power gains of up to 10 -15% can be expected.
With a purposeful note, the new exhaust strikes the right sporting tone, without excessive cabin noise. Crucially for this market place, the noise level was designed to fall under the scrutineer’s radar at practically all of the commercial UK track day events. 
Priced at just £479.00 including VAT, Revolution are running a promotion during March for the first ten applicants to either receive a 10% discount when buying online or free fitting at their plush Gateshead HQ.
