Oh man, so keen to hear more about this Robi!
Can't go wrong with Adrian.

Mods:
- K20 Oil pump
- Baffled sump
- 50' VTC
- RBC - Ported and honed to 70mm
- 70mm Throttle body
- Pod-on-a-pipe intake
- Toda headers
- 200cel cat
- 3' cat back
- Tuned by Adrian

Adrian did get it to 160kw, but there was some slight pinging, so he put it back to 156kw tune. This is the reason I get him to do ALL my tuning... because he tunes the car to be driven, not to make power.

Also, as you can see from the torque curve, it makes the same torque across the entire power band... so while you drive it, there is no major spike in power, just nice and smooth.

So much win right there mate, excellent work! I'd be so proud of that. Must be a lot of fun to drive.

How does it compare to the K20? And the what is it revving to, 7800 orso?

I am. And considering that I had a hand in part of the work, even if it was only cleaning parts, holding stuff or tightening bolts, I am proud of the fact that I can stand back, look at the car and say "I built that". It's very fun to drive. It's predictable, and you can put your foot down, in any gear, at any RPM, and it just pulls.

Comparing to the K20... The K20 didn't have anywhere near as much torque below 4k as the K24, and there was a big change in power delivery after 4k. The K24 just keeps pulling, it's really smooth. Yeah, rev limiter is set at 7800, but I try to shift at like 7500.

[Vvvtec]

Awesome work man, love it. I think it deserves it's own thread! I want to see more!

There's no better feeling than doing the work yourself, that's for sure. It's satisfying as hell. I'm planning on doing this exact same swap except into an EG... Can only imagine how much fun it will be!

Keep it up mate, good to see it done and done properly :thumbsup:

[GSi_PSi]

keep your dc2 , its clean and still has that new feel. why downgrade to eg

[ishen]

impressive figures there 45set, real solid build i can see that, best time on the quarter?

[Vvvtec]

Power to weight + $$$

[89lude]

wow 156kw atw... thats crazy. very impressed with his tuning, he got just short of an extra 20kw over mine... :(

How does your torque figure/line compare to Robi's?

[45SET]

impressive figures there 45set, real solid build i can see that, best time on the quarter?

Thanks. Previously my best time was a 14.7 when the car was almost stock. So with this set up I would be hoping for a low 13... MPH would def be in the 120 region.


wow 156kw atw... thats crazy. very impressed with his tuning, he got just short of an extra 20kw over mine... :(

I always have Adrian do my tuning. He did say he was still learning the k24 and that when he gets back to Sydney, he was going tho be ringing a customer with a K24 he tuned to tell him he had learnt a bit with my car.

[dc2r-0636]

Good power but I doubt u would hit 120 mph down the quarter lol. That's almost 200kph u need atleast 250kw atw to hit that trap speed.

[89lude]

Im no expert alex but i think my power curve looks a bit more fatter due to a bit more down low (although he's probs making more power throughout the rev range anyway, just his power graph is much more peaky looking.)

And in terms of torque i'm making more down low but he's making more up top, mines a bit flatter looking too.

The late model k24 engines tend to make more power. Was that a AUTO motor or manual motor i supplied you?

We have a EP3 with k24 only difference is 2.5' exhaust and stock k24 oil pump and its making tad over 150kw atw. So adding k20 oil pump and 3' it should get close to the power you got out of your k24.

finally you got the quick release in rob, did you work it out easy?

[p3akin]

[tripleuse]

had a bit of troubles but benny byp helped me out; when i first started i had a vac leak and the lines going into the FPR was the wrong way round. all sweet but its making a whilstle noise like a supercharger, im not to sure what it is. i suspect the exhaust leak, need to sus it out. ****ing still got exams so it might be awhile.ill upload some pics later :) the main specs are : k20z1 6 speed RBC bored to 70 mm with 70 mm throttle body CAI 3 inch catback, soon to have it kprod and tuned,interior is stripped except carpet. also retaining both air con and ps.only runnin 195 tires at the moment ha ha.

That was the start of a roughly 2 hour drive...

[Super-DA9]

looks like a cool mountain road, wish that kind of thing existed near canberra :/

[45SET]

looks like a cool mountain road, wish that kind of thing existed near canberra :/

That's Mt Nebo... which connects to Mt Glourious or Mt Mee... all are AWESOME!

[89lude]

wow how far did you go to make a 2 hour drive? I bet you loved the new torque up there :D

[cph3r]

Looks like a good drive 45SET. Went for an hour drive myself yesterday around the tyres-rawson-walhalla area down here in the baw baw shire. Recorded 30 minutes of it, only for the camera app to freeze and corrupt the file when i got home -.-

Started to replace my drive shafts today... I use the term 'started' because it's a right C*nt of a job when everything is fused together from age. God bless the old VN crumbledore occupying the other half of my garage. Took a hammer or two to its quarter panels :D

Also, frak the screws holding the rotor in. Frak them with a 12mm drill bit, POS.

With the right tools its not a hard or long job at all. Use a heavy hammer for the ball joints, a long pole for leverage on the hub bolts, and an impact driver for the rotors!

[cph3r]

Aye, figured those ones out pretty quick. First time doing these, so the first shaft took longer due to learning. Second one [driver side] shaft just does not want to budge, got everything else off fine, much to my surprise.

edit: the impact driver just wrecked the heads on the screws, they're quite soft.

[89lude]

what do you mean by it doesnt want to move? If it doesnt want to come out of the gearbox, instead of prying it from one side, use two points to pry and it will pop out easier. Also make sure pry away from the seals

[45SET]

Towards the West of Brisbane its just Mt's, so taking up 2 hours of time isn't hard. I did stop at 2 look outs for 10-15 min to take in the sights and sounds... and to let the car cool down :P Cruising through a mt range in 5th, but still having enough torque to pull you up a hill is a funny feeling. I also LOVE the burbles my exhaust makes above 4.5k RPM.

Drive shafts can be a pain in the ass, but we had more trouble putting them back in rather them taking them out... but I can see how an older car would be harder.

[89lude]

so did you go through nebo, then glorious and where'd you head after that, im interested in a drive further out thats all.

cruising in 5th with enough torque is quite scary don't you think? do you find the rear end aint planted at all? haha

coming out to the next qr or lakeside day?

Normally I go over Nebo, down Glorious, then out to Mt Mee.

I didn't find any issues. I didn't push it too hard as saw 4 cop cars from my place to the base (5 min drive). I want to go out to QR... notnleen on LakeSide just yet.

muniguh. right tools for the job and everything sings your tune.
if only i invested in proper tools earlier, would saved me so much time.

[typerdevil]

wholesale as in importing? I wouldn't pick the imported ones up at around this time, many have been submerged under water and others covered in radiation.

[tripleuse]

up and running, just needs a coolant flush nd a tune, very excited should be done within 2 weeks. eg k24? never new u were planning on a eg build, when are u planning to do this? organised ur setup yet? DIY?. I think its just none of them have aircon so summer is starting to get to them ha ha.

[tripleuse]

it would be pretty obvious if they were submerged. so i dont think its that big of a deal to latino crx

[Latino CRX]

na no importing cars we dont sell imported cars cause its a big F*** around thing ..we get from wholesalers and pay shit all price for any cars .. can get dc2r's cheaper than any one sellin privately :)

[GSi_PSi]

lol i picked it up after seeing a thread on here about the awesome deal on ebay, $280 delivered to my door.. couldnt beat that

[EKVTIR-T]

From america? With lighten fly?

[GSi_PSi]

na from victoria, no flywheel lol just the clutch kit

[blastnpast]

@GSI I'm running the clutch from the same seller you bought it from, I proberly wouldn't recommend it - buy from authorized dealers I.E Jdmyard, autobahn, supercheap, JDMaccessories can help on them to.

The one I'm using is feeling quite light and shudders when take off is lower then 1,500 rpm however this is properly due to being a stage 1 racing.

The clutch is fully worn in and is working/engaging just fine but something still tells me that price is way to low for others out there.

Give me your info :)

[NightKids]

Are you implying that it's a fake?

[Vvvtec]

Possibly yes ^^

[mocchi]

it does look fake.

[GSi_PSi]

I've matched the part numbers to the ones for the b18c/b16a on their jap website, I don't think it's a fake even has the exedy genuine seal thing. What your experiencing is most likely due to incorrect installation, did you machine the flywheel ?. This will happen with any clutch

[blastnpast]

Lol just implying that the price seems to good to be true my friend!

And @GSI again not due to incorrect installation lol it works normal it is just very light and not like my old heavy duty - feels like its Wearing down very very quickly

I am running it with a brand new EXEDY lightened flywheel

sports organic clutch kit for b18c7. looks rather different to what gsi purchased.
US call it stage 1. looks really different so idk which one is which lol.

can anyone help verify please

[Super-DA9]

^^^ yeah thats what i bought, stage 1 kit w/fly.

comes with all bearings, flywheel studs, and daikin grease. i didn't use the daikin grease actually, ended up just using my nulon extreme performance grease that i use for everything.

awesome clutch and fly combo. not hard to drive, but launches real quick!

the only difference i can see in GSI's one and the above is that GSI's has 6 small springs and a brown coloured center where as the above has 4 bigger springs and a burnt metal finish.

its defintaly not fake but one of the two seems to be ceramic and the other true organic. from

thanks. was so sad when my car went to the sydney annual.. forgot my grill in the back yard, car all dull from my midnight diy cut and polish etc etc. I will be using the cusco mounts to run my buddyclub wing soon since i don't like the bc mounts as its a T wing...

[89lude]

Umad- i just cleaned off alot of the wax so it wasnt as hazy. But yeah i will be getting it into a proffessional as its still not how i want it. I figured why not since its under 150 and we paid close to that just for products to buff it twice (not to mention the elbow grease).

Cheers for all the kind words guys. Was just happy about finally putting on one of my wings. Xntrik has been holding them for me for ages! I found with the oem wing my car was lacking!

ive already got b18c2 so just goin to keep that and be running T3/4 turbo with all custom shiit
see how it all goes when it all done .. the manifold from the ebay kit doesnt look like it will hold up that well
would prob have to get a custom manifold made up and heat wrapped .. kiss my power steer good bye aswell
cause i dont want that ... i guess when it all done i will make a write up n pics of everythin and prices

wonder how you would mount it so it wont move

$35-40 imo isnt much when with it you have no blind spots..... head checks no more =)

[charliebrown]

Requires some drilling and shit yeah? and sun guard things become useless?

That one posted on ebay is 4 panel, the genuine wink mirror has 5 panels, so just take note of that. I had one on my old EK, cost me about $80 from the states, it takes some time to get used to but really improves your vision by a lot.

Had th PY beast in at a paintless dent remover at Castle Hill today. The car is now 100% ding free and looking brand new. At least, it would if it would stop raining! I highly recommend thedentman.com.au if you are a Sydneysider - there was one rear 1/4 crease when I bought the car that I can't even spot now :)

Spotted another PY DC2R on the way along with a CW and NHB one - all in the one trip.

NY resolution is the annual trip to the detailers.

Vibrations arent too bad. Just slightly more vibrations compared to stock but not really noticeable until you are at a complete stop at a set of lights for a while. All in all feels like my stock mounts

I have a quick question, looking at struts for the gsi and im just abit curious as to the fitting of such thing. Haha.
Heres the one i have in mind.

Cool. looks alright

What seems to be the problem? the holes don't line up?
The bar is bent? Explain your weird fitment.


Derp, I was asking about the fitment, is it tight or awkward to put in because theres pipes almost covering it lol
I'm sorry, what was your concern?
Did you undoo the 4 nuts?
Did you place the strut brace in position? what problems did you encounter?
What's wrong with the fitment?

did you get the wrong brace?
This should be easier than changing a tire.
You do know how to change a tire?

[Super-DA9]

today i disassembled the FITV, and blasted it, the IACV and the throttle body with carby cleaner, dried it all out, reassembled and threw it all back in. also made a new throttle body gasket.

the engine feels nicer up and down the rpm's and starts smoother now after cleaning everything out, but it still has that intermittent hunting idle issue when it gets hot (sometimes when cold but mostly in the heat). i've been over all the vacuum lines/injectors/manifold/brake booster/throttle/charcoal canister with carby cleaner many times to find no leaks and reset the ECU with no success. all i can think of after all this ruling stuff out, is either the new intake/manifold is messing with the tune, or it's the PCV valve, apparently when they have issues they can essentially be a vacuum leak in itself (read somewhere on hondatech). I replaced the PCV valve with a new fuelmiser one when i installed the S2 manifold and Injen CAI, and before i changed all that (during my build thread, doing gearbox and other things) it was ok so maybe I have a faulty one? :/

[DC2-PWR]

I have the same issue Tim, I've done pretty much what you've gone through too haha.

I'm waiting for a new distributor, $400 something. I hope it gets sorted afterwards so I'll definetly let you know

wow interesting, do you find it moves between 1000-1500 a few times and then settles when you stop at the lights?

Might seem hard atm but its easy once you look into it! as long as things are done by the book you can't go wrong. Then your tuner will dial the camgears and tune.

Thanks dude. How do they feel? Not too stiff? I'm mostly interested in stance though lolz

[Dubstein]

Thanks dude. How do they feel? Not too stiff? I'm mostly interested in stance though lolz

Haven't really took it for a drive since all the body is apart but I did once or twice amd cannot really define te quality from what the drive was, but obiviously it feels a lot Better, great turning, and quite comfortable, not to stiff.

[Dubstein]

Stance? Haha, i was hoping for the car to sit alot lower, but Im still happy because it's not stock height! My offset is still in the process, fronts are getting quite a good fitment, the rear at least 5mm spacers :3 Got some natural Negitive chamber going on the back too!

Just abit devo that the previous owner put 17"s and Dodgey rolled the rear guards.. If was stock I woulnt really need the illegal spacer haha

All in good buily not bought thinking though :)

[charliebrown]

Good stuff that negitive chamber :D definetely buily not bought

[CivicEGSI]

Repairable write off but it had chassis damage. Insurance was saying it was going to cost $7k to replace the recaro alone. Uh..

that is correct honda prices for recaro

you looking for lowering springs? how low are you looking to go man? an inch or two? no wheel to guard gap? tuck?

[charliebrown]

Gooner when you gonna do something to your car? its been stock with an exhaust for ages

[Johnie]

Swaped over the cracked rear parcel shelf to the non cracked clean one haha.

[act_gooner]

Haha!
Tim - Hopefully will be looking soon. I am looking at a couple of inches to minimize the wheel to guard gap. Thinking of going down to 15's too so it might be difficult with just lowered springs?

Charlie - I discovered that leaving my old job in hospitality was a very bad decision. Was always so cashed up there, liquor store treats me like shit because I'm a student and I'm broke as shit.

[Super-DA9]

Hopefully will be looking soon. I am looking at a couple of inches to minimize the wheel to guard gap. Thinking of going down to 15's too so it might be difficult with just lowered springs?

nah lowering on 15's wouldn't be more difficult, it just means that you will have less ground clearance with a minimal gap as opposed to the same size gap on a larger wheel. however this can be countered with a larger sidewall tyre.

on that subject, costco are selling and fitting bridgestone adrenaline RE002's at a bargain price man, so if you dont have a membership when the time comes you can come with me and my gf because she has a membership there. :)

the only difficulty with lowering springs is that it's crucial to pick the right one, keeping in mind that they are not adjustable, will sag lower with time, too low will blow your stock shocks, and when you go pretty low you want them to be reasonably solid to reduce your chances of bottoming out.

[act_gooner]

WTF, Costco sell tyres too? Haha crazy. Yeah I know all the disadvantages of just going with springs, but might add shocks to the setup later on when I have more money. Everythings hypothetical atm.
How much is bargain price? I got some cheapy silverstone tyres on the front now and tbh there is hardly any difference to my old Adrenaline RE001's. You working today Tim? Gonna pick up some of that oil you were suggesting.

[charliebrown]

Silverstone evol8 bro? heard they aint bad for cheapies

[act_gooner]

Yeah, you guys are out of the Nulon oil in 10w-40 :( and I have to drive to Sydney tomorrow, out of top ups shiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Was supposed to take my gfs car but its shat itself. Going to check my oil levels tomorrow morning and see how it goes. :S

Learning to offset..

Recently lowered the teg about 2.5" and its sitting pretty nice at the front.. Only just a few mm from the inner guard and tag, could do with some 3-5mm spacers just to get it sitting out..

Whats the go with spacers, i know there illegal but i heard anything over 5mm needs bolt-ons otherwise there inst enough thread on the lugs? Also fairly dangerous?

I has time to even modify the guards slightly if spacers are not the go..

[charliebrown]

^what size wheels and tyres? looks fairly chunky

[Dubstein]

^what size wheels and tyres? looks fairly chunky

They do look alittle off putting, but needed cheap tires urgently. Tyre shops where i lived didn't have much in the way of smaller ones at the time.

[hondapop]

Apart from the legality of spacers, even 5mm is reducing the amount of thread the nuts have to hold on to, to a dangerous level. The other reason is that you lose the centering spigot on the hub, unless they have been machined to include it (most unlikely), that engages with the centre hole of the wheel.

Longer studs are the best option with spacers that are machined to include that centering spigot (both to fit the one on the hub and to provide one on the outside for the wheel to fit onto)

Relying on the studs alone to centralise the wheel is not a good idea.

[Super-DA9]

^^ what about hubcentric type spacers?

[charliebrown]

or just get lower offset wheels... better than voiding insurance

[DCZ 18C]

^^ what about hubcentric type spacers?

ohh snaaappppp...

[hondapop]

^^ what about hubcentric type spacers?

If you mean the rings (hub adapters) that are used to make up the difference between the centre holes in the mags and the hub centre spigot, no, they won't do it.

[1900-hustler]

with any kind of spacers itll be wise to get the wheel studs extended (not to mention getting the right kind of spacers as hondapop mentioned earlier)

that is if you value your safety and others on the road

[Super-DA9]

If you mean the rings (hub adapters) that are used to make up the difference between the centre holes in the mags and the hub centre spigot, no, they won't do it.

no I mean the ones that are like a new set of studs that bolt on the old ones with it's own metal hub. however I think they only come in larger offests like 25mm.

they can also be used as stud pattern converters.

Ah, those ones. I was aware of them as pattern/pitch adapter, but yeah, they'd have to be pretty thick to be strong enough to hold the stems of a new set of studs and bolt up to the existing hub. Never really considered them as much more than a dubious gimmick.

if you were thinking of getting them though, i'd go for function forms instead. better reviews and cheaper than Pro-S. ive got them on my daily EG, bit stiff for my liking but that's cos i'm used to king springs.
