Type R mods dc2

[AzKik-R]

Hi All.

I was doing some reading up about the dc2-r, and it says you shouldn't modify it??? anyays, I want to.... correction, I have to.
sure it corners really nicely, and gets to 250km/h, but I want a bit better acceleration.
Naturally the first thing to come to mind was a turbo, wide body kit for wider wheels-better traction, whats the most boost you could run on a type r stock internals.

Or if I had to, stay n/a, put on some really meaty cam's, change valves/springs. a 2.5" exhaust with lots of silencers, because i think n/a's are loud enough. what changes would i need to make to get this thing really reving out 10,000rpm+

Or as a 3rd option, possibly a bigger engine(I know it sounds so American, but the type r, so I'm told is not one to be modified)
I would be willing to sell my Libero GT for mods money.

What would be the best way to go, for reliable gains.
(sorry only new to this)
also .... I live in the middle of nowhere, which means I would be driving to somewhere in Australia, get the work done, and then drive back home a week later(hopefully)

Do the basics mate..
I/H/E then see how it goes..
After that
TUNE/CAMS/SUSPENSION.... If the basics arent enough for you..

Wouldnt it be cheaper for you to sell the TYPE R and go for something like maybe 200sx that already has a turbo, or WRX or something. In my opinion, Hondas are really good and very reliable, but if you want big power, its probably wiser idea to buy a turbo car straight away, save money... just a suggestion?

-i knew few people that had turbos done, one its expensive, two-sometimes not the best solution...

As per the sticky thread.

#1 – Lightweight flywheel (Consider twin plate / carbon )
#2 – Heavy-duty clutch
#3 – Lower final drive / transmission cross gear kit
#4 – Quad throttle sports injection + fabricated CAI duct / flue
#5 – Header + cat-back system
#6 – Ported head / Spec A2/B/C camshafts / valve springs/ Titanium retainers / adjustable cam gear - exhaust only / fuel pump / Forged pistons / Forged rods (For over 9000rpm) / injectors & fuel pressure regulator / ECU / dyno tuning / heavy duty engine mounts / baffled sump.
Power output: 165+kw @ wheels (Dyno dynamics – shootout)

Ouch, it must be hard living in Alice Springs...

I can imagine there aren't many tuner garages around!

Anyway, I personally would go down the forced induction path. Lots of fun to be had!

Source the parts yourself and hopefully find someone local to put it all together if you can't.

Don't drive your car a quarter-way across the country and back to get the job done :eek:

Please do us all and yourself a favour and search around abit,
These Q's have been covered to death!

Bang for bucks sticky in the Integra forum;

^ what he said

btw, is some1 pointing a gun to ur head?? why do u have to?? lol

if u want better acceleration, consider weight reduction...take out air con, back seats, etc

imo, i dont suggest turbo in a FF car, becomes a bit more understeer which kinda misses the point of the itr

DC2R are perfect for performance mods. They are a good platform and we have had many success with them for the past 2 years testing the usual bolt-ons for the best net gains. Please do your research before doing any form of modification.

If you have a budget of 3k for mods, here is what i would spent it on:
- Intake - long ram style $400
-Headers- Custom DynoDave's 4-2-1 design $1200
-ECu- Hondata S200 + dynodave tune $1300ish

This set-up will get you a mid to high 13 sec pass at the local 1/4 mile.

Now if you have an extreme budget, then ill start to touch the internals, mainly the head.

yes, you'll probably have to send your car down to sydney or brisbane for work to get done.

Dont go turbo in Alice Springs man its too hot. Keep it NA

only headers? no exhaust?

[fatboyz39]

stock dc2r exhaust is fine. But if budget permits then 2.5' won't hurt.

BOLT-ON FTW......good I/H/E ECU/tuning will be more then enough.

there's a guy here in town, his name is dallas, and he has tuned a couple jap cars, and all of them execpt for 1 has burnt to the ground, because of his tune up jobs.
He tuned an evo 9 on a 2 wheel dyno(because thats all we have here) and i think one of my friends is going to have to buy himself a new evo...:(

this is what ill being doing for my dc2r

[|N|]

handling comes b4 power

power should come last

yeah, if that dyno dave headers is the way to go, who is he, and how do i get one? does anyone have a pic?

he is the best honda tuner out there. u can can pm him and ask.

[TheFranchise]

Naturally the first thing to come to mind was wide body kit

:zip:

IMO that was 'naturally' the last thing that came to mind when i purchased a DC2R

[nvdvtc]

id say

headers , and full exhust, intake , computer..... and see how it goes thats not much for me and after if u want more then go
cams valves retainer, cam sharft cam gears and up gear ratio thats all top end depending on how much is your buddget........ cheerz duy

yeah, I appear to have a traction problem, so I figured if I go wide body, I could fit some slightly wider wheels/rubbers, apparently tyres are a very good performance mod??? :confused: maybe i should just stick to 205's.

[fatboyz39]

DC2R handle good already.

Power first for DC2R.

u don't need a wide body to have wider tyres, mayb legally

there are many mods that react with each other

as Toda(a well reputable honda specialist says) a car with lower final drive e.g type R will always beat a car with I/H/E

so get the best of both worlds
lowered final drive + I/H/E
im prettus sure it was along those mods that someone got 13.66
actually a decent computer n tune was added

if that isn't enuf go cam etc

yes tyres r a gud mod
make sure ur suspension n tyres are top notch so u get to use all the power u have

theres no point in having 300kw if u can't get it to ground

nice sus[ension, good sticky tyres and the basic mods mentioned above will give u a great abang for buck
if it's not enough go from there u cud still go NA or turbo after that as these r great basic mods

u could probanly get some of this stuff mailed from gud places like Toda etc and get someone to install it in Alice Springs

Don't Let the guy who tuned the Evo touch ur car

if ur thinking of wide body kits n big chromies etc etc(which is a personal thing) was a type R a gud idea for a car?

[AzKik-R]

wide body and chromes?
c'mon ya gotta give me some credibility! wide body and wider tyers for better traction yes,but not for chromies.
Has anyone out there heard of Pro-Ma MBL8?
It looks pretty impressive, I'm thinking of runnin it thru the engine.
