Differences in DC2r year make

[Lil Dan]

Did a search and came up with nothing.

Is there any difference between a 99 00 and 01 DC2r? any additional options etc? From the research i've gathered, I haven't seen too much but I could be wrong...

Would love to hear some input.

Cheers

The first link is pretty detailed so it should help

Good luck.

shit sonnn thanks heaps dude.

Ok such a noob question. what is a CTR.. im not good with acronyms and apparently the 01 has an upgraded CTR compared to the 99.

Civic Type R

Don't hesitate to ask anything here lol :)

Okay, so is it hard to change the 99 spec itr with the better camshaft from the 01 model? i'm a sucker for black/white body with red recaros... Not a fan of the red with black recaros as red fades like a bitch.

There are no differences between DC2R's in the 99-01 range.

unless its a jdm or australian model

[OMG.JAI xD]

Im pretty sure in Australia. The dc2R did not change from years 99-01.
Some got the limited edition badge. Wearing some fancy recaros and a few cosmetic add-ons.
Performance wise. The AUDM market did not change. Its 141kw from 99-01.

The "better camshaft" youre referring to is to the CTR (civic type R) where the engine's performance got revised in the later years.

The only differences in the ITR is the market it came from. JDM had the better tuned engine (compression ratio, engine tune etc), and some also came with the aggressive exhaust setup. (4-1 2.5" headers). JDM versions also came with 4.7FD (final drive) as opposed to the 4.4FD found in most ITR boxes.
The AUDM market pretty much stayed the same everything.

Only advantage in buying an AUDM ITR vs a JDM ITR is AUDM did not come with a 180km/h speed limiter.
Pretty much 90% of JDM cars with factory ECU's is speed limited to 180km/h.

Between the 2. If youre planning to mod it (like most Type R owners) Youll roughly get the same amount of power in the end.
Light modifications youll gain more out of a JDM motor/box setup.
Heavily modifying (ie. Higher compression ratio, change of cams, ecu) youll end up with the same result or with minimal differences.

All depends on personal preference.

Skunk2 released an upgraded version of camshaft's for the DC2R's I belive,for high RPM use and all that

http://www.skunk2.com/installation/305-05-5145.pdf

But it say's here that the camshaft for the JDM Integra Type R's from 99-2001 has different camshaft's than the AUDM Integra Type R's 99-2001


The camshaft lift amount was changed for both intake and exhaust valves. The intake lift was increased from 10.6mm to 11.5mm, and the exhaust lift was increased from 9.4mm to 10.5mm. To compensate, the intake opening timing was increased from 10 to 15 degrees before piston apex, and closing timing was increased from 40 to 45 degrees after the piston reaching base. Likewise, the exhaust opening timing was increased from 40 to 45 degrees before the piston reaching base, and the closing timing was increased from 7 to 10 degrees after piston apex. By doing so, the valves remain open longer -- allowing for more air to enter the combustion chamber.

JDM Type R engines are the go:cool:

Good luck

All 99-01 DC2R's came with 4.7FD LSD gearboxes, just the 96 JDM DC2R came with a 4.4FD.

I was half right lol.

"Ok, I've found out that AU 01 DC2Rs have the upgraded CTR intake cam. All sorted, case closed. "

That was taken from the ek9 forum as the guy owned a 01 dc2r and took a 99 dc2r for a spin and realised it didnt have as much grunt. I'm pretty sure his based in Aus too.

I know the JDM specs are better, but don't want to touch an import :D

99-01 DC2R's all have the same spec B18C7, maybe his "CTR intake cam" is different but there are no differences between the year models in Australia.

The only difference with the 2001 model are the choice of recaro seats. Yellow came with yellow seats, red came with red seats, and black came with red seats.

All 1999-2000 models had black seats, except for white which had red seats

[Lil Dan]

hmm there a couple of black 99 model ones on carsales with red seats. Are you saying that they must have swapped them out?

The seats are different through out the range. Doesnt matter on the colour.
You can have black with red seats, black with black, white with red, red with black, red with red etc.

The "limited edition" dc2r's came with the yellow recaros and black with yellow stitching recaros (i think. I cant confirm this one, i mightve mixed it up something else lol)

But youre original question was is there any difference between the dc2r?

In australia. No. They all got the same engine n box. They all got recaros. You shouldnt be fussed mate. If you buy a type r there wont be another one thats different, given that its stock.

its most likly recaros has been stolen and replace by red
or owner could of swap it out like you said.

2001 DC2R - Yellow came with Yellow Recaros, I believe black came with Optional red/black recaros

1999-2000 DC2R- Black, Red, Yellow came with black recaros only and white came with Red Recaros

correct me if im wrong

[Lil Dan]

hmm interesting. ill be sure to raise that issue if I have a look at some black 99 models with red recaros.
