dc5r power gains?

[aidannn]

hi guys, this might be a noob question, i have a audm dc5r, i was wondering wat sort of power gains you could expect using parts from the jdm version, like exhaust, catback, manifold etc. would the gains be noticeable enough to bother?
thanks

You'd be better off getting some of the more reputable brands for exhaust and stuff than trying to get JDM parts for your dc5r.
It will be almost the same price but you you get more improvement.

Ask TODA_AU he's got a mean dc5s

Agree with Limbo..

If you want JDM, if you have $$$ then a JDM K20A would give you a lot more power..

yes...jdm parts are no better than the audm parts unless you get the engine.

why is that tho ? What is different about the actual engine ?

Im sure if you swap out the JDM intake manifold , header plus ECU and japanese rated fuel it will be making the same power as an actual JDM dc5R

An example, is the old B series. local B18c7 with jdm B18C parts (header , ECU and japanese rated fuel) will make the same 147kw compared to 141kw stock
