Dc5r Vs Dc5s

[gtotwinturbo]

This probably is a stupid question but here goes.
I think we can come to an understanding that the DC2R was the hardest going Teg ever made.

But between the late DC5R and the DC5S I thought type S was to be superior since it is the more pure bred DC5R from Japan and not the washed down ADM version.

Anyone who doesnt have a Teg assumes straight away just because of the R that it's better than S and this annoyed me at first but after reading forums hear many people seem to think very little of the Type S.

The type S having 154kw and Type R having 147kw, can someone straighten out which more is superior in terms of how hard the engine goes, cmon Teg owners who should know better than anyone else.

[jamchen]

i don't own a teg.. but i would think R is better than S... for no other reason but the S comes without LSD... correct me if i am wrong..

[Dr.k20z1]

mmm man.. SEARCHH ur gonna get ownd for making the 10 millionth thread abt this... type s or type r all depends on the owner.. if u like the S then go the S if u like the R go the R..

burn him softly for not using the search tool


btw S is way more smoother cos my mate has an R and even he said so.. so yeah.

DC5R :
- lighter chasis
- Recaros
- Comes with LSD


DC5S :
- Better engine due to cams and IM
- Facelifted kit is apparentally Aerodynamically better than the pre face lift.
- Overall steering and suspension is better than AUDM DC5R.

[minix33]

the dc5s has 2Nm more torque [194Nm] at 7000RPM compared to the DC5R's 6000RPM.
despite having more power and torque, the dc5r is lighter than the type s [1160kg compared to 1230kg].
the dc5r is 5 speed while the dc5s is 6 speed.

the dc5s is suppose to be the more 'luxurious' and therefore features more luxury equipment such as a 6-stack cd player. It has beter suspension and 17" as stock with better tyres than the dc5r leading to apparent 'improved steering/handling'.

[ivtak]

With experience of owning both cars as my dad use to own a dc5r and i use to own a dc5s, i find the Type S a lot quicker on the straight but for some reason in the dc5r i feel more comfortable taking them corners as i can feel less body roll in them compare to the dc5s, but both good cars and in the end i will take the dc5s mainly for the comfort and also i love the new facelift :)

SU, perhaps noone should bother answering any of yours in the future aye?

:thumbsup::thumbsup: to the OP, i personally find the Type S more to my liking. its got the performance characteristics to it, whilst also retaining some luxury features to it. overall i think its a great package. but realistically its each to their own aye :)

[NeoNode]

the dc5r is 5 speed while the dc5s is 6 speed.
AFAIK the DC5R is still a 6 speeder.

Only the base model and the Integra Luxury came with the 5 speed manual.

Correct, both dc5r/s are 6spd manuals.

[Chi]

Forgot ot mention DC5S rev's higher as well off memory.

DC5R is only like 8100 rpm where as DC5S is 8400 i think.

But if you can get access to the Type S k20a Head 'cheap' then it'll be a good upgrade for you R.

The cams in the Type S are the same as the JDM DC5R k20A

[45SET]

The cams in the Type S are the same as the JDM DC5R k20A

only the exhuast... or is it intake... either way... only one of them is.

There is no answer to this question... its like asking how long is a peice of string. Because both cars are so simular... yet so differant... some people perfer the R and some perfer the S.

At the end of the day, it comes down to you... and if you want to sit in a Recaro or some gheybo leather seat...

hehehehe

[Q_ball]

^ Im pretty sure its the exhaust on the Type S which is the same as the JDM DC5R.
Stand to be corrected though...

Thing to remember is that both these cars were aimed at slightly different market audiences.

[Chi]

Exhuast on the DC5S is bigger than the DC5R (AUDM), not sure if its the same as the JDM DC5R

I know of a guy with a DC5R with gheybo leather seats from teh Type S in them because he couldnt fit into recaros LOL!

[Dr.k20z1]

well i had always gotten burned for not using the search tool. so there u go budd.

[bungie77]

Not to start a fight or anything but how is asking the difference between the DC5R/S anything like asking how long a piece of string is? :P

[chunky]

if it aint a type R then it aint a tight car
:p

[philBo]

if it aint a type R then it aint a tight car
:p

s2k > type R
evo9 > type R

the list goes on... the R dont always means shit

[aaronng]

Power alone does not make a Type R. Eventhough the AUDM Type R is watered down compared to the JDM, it is still closer to a Type R than a Type S.

[gtotwinturbo]

thanks for all the replies guys and for not toasting my butt for this being like the millionth thread for this topic. You have all said some very truthful things, about the 2 cars being for different markets and therefore not really being necessarily a better or worse scenario just preferenence it taste.

Honda did a great job keeping the price from edging up but making it a more luxurious car.

But now can i ask which one is the preferred mod king? From my understanding still what remains is Type S just got to have the jspec style parts in AUDM and Type R didnt, so is it a kind of thing where people are swapping over parts to get Type S parts? (Correct me if im wrong)

Or are people finding Type S has hit a large peak and smaller mods in a Type R can get ridiculous amounts of kws?

Thanks again all for your time, really answered my questions good :S

[Dr.k20z1]

the type s with like i/h/e with ecu got like 144 kw or somthing alone and with a type r.. with cams + i/h/e with ecu got like 150.. id say if ur going to get one get the s! luxurious! and gets more power easier.. but hey dont get me wrong.. it all comes down to the driver lol

those power figures are just from memory correct me if im wrong.. :D broom broom vtec yo

[Q_ball]

the type s with like i/h/e with ecu got like 144 kw or somthing alone and with a type r.. with cams + i/h/e with ecu got like 150..

I dont where you got these figures from... O.o
Atw or engine?

[aaronng]

I hope that is atw., otherwise it would have been a waste of money. ;)

At the wheels.

But diff dyno's have diff readings,but



Friend with Type S had:

TODA headers Hi flow cat
RM 01A Zorst
Injen intake

untuned.

130kws ATWs dyno.


Another DC5R as well on the same dyno had :

GruppeM intake
Toda headers+hi flow cat
Spoon TB
HKS Zorst

K100 tuned

approx 150 kws atws.

[TeMp]

^ Damn I would love to dyno on a Syd dyno. That is some high reading for a Type R with tat kinda mods I have to say.

150 kw atw is what people usually get after they change cams chi.

[Dr.k20z1]

ahah def at the wheels come on fellas lol our cars aint that slow lol

[Mattski_VTIR]

different dynos, different days, can't compare numbers!! But i'm led to believe the S responds slightly better to i/h/e ecu due to different cams! Correct me if i'm wrong!

[Nepolian]

Audm Type R has the same engines as the us del RSX and Civic SI, that is the K20A2 (200hp), unlike the Jap spec K20A (220hp).

The K20Z (DC5S), is just an normal update of say the K20 engine. Therefore you would assume they would have tinkered with it to gain some torque/kw.

Without getting too much into it. The K20Z (DC5S) would probably have different cams, maybe not the K20A (JDM Type R) but would be very similar.

To have a fair comparison, you need to run both cars (DC5R/CD5S) back to back on same dyno, to get a true and fair comparison.

Hope that makes sense :)

We did do that at the Belgarage dyno day last year, the type r's did about 108 to 112 (3 R's went b4 me) my S got 128.4 stock

[dc4t]

ur right.. check the hondata site.. they tested it themselves!

[Mattski_VTIR]

my S got 128.4 stock That is a very high number for a standard K20Z! I'm led to believe 110kw to 115kw atw is about normal

[dc4t]

found a guy on youtube with only an AEM V2 intake and a 3" Thermal R&D cat-back pushing out 198whp.. with an 05 type s that is..

American Dynos read alot higher i think u will find, someone else will be able to explain how and why!
As K20A's (JDM) with I/H/E kpro are putting out between 195/200 whp on an Aussy Dyno

[tinkz1]

Nothing to do with performance but i reckon the Type R's look a 100x better than a Type S

[dc4t]

no way :S.. the type s headlights n taillights are a million times better.. i like the type R wing tho, n the twin taillights..

really? :S.. if u can find someone to explain let me know.. oh i did see a type s in japan dyno'd n it pulled 180whp stock..

[bennjamin]

i hardly see the point of numbers on a dyno.

Go race X vs X car @ a local drag strip or racetrack and you will see which is the faster/quicker car :)

[2002 TeGgY]

:confused:

[vtegra]

all these comments.. who has driven both??

compare the handling.
compare the power.
compare the looks..(they both look the same except for the wing. and 1 has a sunroof.)

[Riviera_TypeS]

I bet to differ... I had particular liking of Type-S compared to Type-R appearances before I own a Type-S...

Type-R has those curves on headlight and taillight which look well, ugly...

That's my opinion :)

[dc4t]

:confused:

meaningg.. i like the fact that type r tails have 2 park lights (like a skyline).. but the actual type s taillights are way better looking.. and yes i like the type R wing..

[dc4t]

ive driven both.. type s has better handling. feels more responsive (dunno if its actually quicker tho seein as its heavier). they dont look the same, headlights, tailights n front grill are completely different (type s having the better looking of those 3 parts). also! type S stock wheels are so much hotter..

[damo46]

i owned a dc5r and just sold it
and that car is all around a faster car then the S no matter what anyone says.
i raced many type S but they never stood the chance to my STOCK type r

Negative!
Front bar - different

Your words mean nothing,
TypeR/S wasnt made for straight line speed...especially when its on public roads!!!!
Timeslips to prove that its quicker...otherwise, dont mention racing and beating other cars. :)

[Dr.k20z1]

def true.. thats a big call buddy.. dont claim things like that.. if ur gonna be racing on the streets with grannys that cant drive in their Type S... take it to the track get the times.. then we moving forward.. i aint saying nothing till the actual proof has been done..


:D :D comon boys take it too the trackk gimmee some numberrsss !

I think EL_DC5 said he did a 14.488 quarter mile at the strip with a stock DC5S. I don't know if he posted up a scanned image of his slip or anything.

oh and... http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57043

Yea I did, but i removed the spare wheel and floor mats, on 45 psi tires. i didnt know i had to deflate them. I went again with new oil, motul v300 5/35 , freshly cleaned gruppeM air filter, BC racing spec coilovers and 30 psi in tires(stock) 14.234

Dude, that must be one shithouse Type S !

I've only got Cold Air Intake on my car, and it ran 126kW atw :p

Can't wait to do the rest of the mods (Headers, Zorst, Hondata).. Hoping for 150-160kW atw after that.. :honda:

Cool, but u have to remember different dynos different numbers.. u can't compare X's car 120kw with Y's car's 140kw if done on different dynos. I have seen DC5r's back to back with S and there is only a couple of Kw ATW in it..

[air23box]

without proper ECU tuning and basic head work.....hard to go over 150kw bro

[EL_DC5]

yeah i get 128 - 131 across different dynos.

[gtotwinturbo]

no way :S.. the type s headlights n taillights are a million times better.. i like the type R wing tho, n the twin taillights..

Does everyone like the tailights of the R or the tailights of the S? It's so hard to decide. The 2 semi circles at the bottom of your tailights and headlights look wicked in a type R but the type S somehow does have a sleek and awesome feel to it.

As for the spoiler, i have a ridiculous question!
Was playing need for speed: Pro Street. Anyone who's tried that game knows about the aerodynamic factor of the spoiler in the game...Like the type R would give you less downforce but a higher top speed...true?

and a spoiler like the type S would get you more downforce and less topspeed...true?

The wind dyno seemed a bit ridiculous in the game...and not to mention how ugly all the bodykits for the RSX were...

Thanks for all the replies on dynos! very interesting :wave:

[EL_DC5]

remember the Facelift model is the New version
the round AUDC5R lights where superseded with the type S ones.
SO in Japan the latest model of the DC5 is Facelift model.

[Nepolian]

Both cars are pointed at different markets. DC5R are aimed at the younger crowd where the DC5S is aimed at the not so boy racer.

Have a good look at both and it is obvious that the R is the sportier of the two, without getting into a shitfight about what the 'R' means.

Type S is more conservative in styling. Almost grandpa IMO. The rounded head, tail lights, coloured recaros and the wing is why you buy a teg.

M2CW!

[Mattski_VTIR]

yeah a wing and Recaro's are what makes an "R" ... lol :p

[Nepolian]

Dude, like I said, Im not here to bitch and whine about what makes what an 'R'. What I meant was that for the younger people, which is what most of the buyers of DC5R's are, the styling, wing and Recaros is what makes it appealing.

Please read and understand what is written!

Theres a difference scarcasm and a smart arse.

Mate settle, i did understand i was only joking... hence the " :p "

[Nepolian]

Cool man, I should have put a smiley on the end of it. I was only mucking about.

Back on topic. I would personally buy a DC5S. More to the point, I would have if it wasnt for the meddling EP3.

Point is, you can talk all day about which is better. End of the day, if you're gonna mod it, it make jack all diff. Just buy the one you like :)

No worries mate!!!! On topic i think R drivers like R's and S drivers like S's! Its pretty simple, buy what u want!! They were aimed at a slightly different market, find what suits your needs and go for it! There both great cars to drive in there own way!!

[Riviera_TypeS]

In the end EVO would smoke both types period....

[2002 TeGgY]

^^ why would u say that? lol, evo would also cost a fortune to insure and wont be as reliable or fuel efficient hence why i bought a dc5r. and btw who gives a shit which type is better, if ur happy with it then good for you... my 2 cents

[EL_DC5]

Ibtl !!!
