Pretty sure some people have already done it
JDM spec ECU + brembos + rims = bout 8k
Wont get 167kw at the engine due to lower RON fuel but hey.. if you do the above, its "jap" spec anyway
Just my 2 cents
AUDM DC5R engine is a cooking JDM DC5 Integra engine, also fitted to EUDM CTR and exported to Japan. ;) ;) ;)Quote:

You'll be looking at the best part of $20k. And that's the very reason why Honda did not bring the real TYPE R "downunder". It would not be price competitive in the given market segment. RRP?????? $60K plus. :cry:
The k-pro hondata for the aust dc5r already puts down roughly 20kws atw for a stock standard dc5r. Thats already surpassed the jdm dc5r flywheel output....
Brembo brakes look good..mostly for "bling factor". In macau, a lot of the jdm dc5rs swap them over for AP racing. What does that tell u about the brakes?
dont need 20k to get the same output as jdm..
this is quoted from another member from Clubrsx.com
well, that's that for the Integra...Quote:
Just called Honda Australia in Tullamarine Melbourne and they have CONFIRMED to me that they are killing the ENTIRE Integra range.
You can NO LONGER order Base model but still buy whatever stock is in Australia.
You can STILL order Type R model until June/May 2004 as Integra is officially no more for 2005!
I had to call them TWICE to confirm as I just did not believe what I was hearing.
farewell.. :(
I know!! How sad...I reckon your integra would hold it's value Tofu, Speicial Edition dude...
hehe we'll see...
but not after i've modified it...it's probably not worth much
Iff that quote is true Jeff....its a sad sad day :|
don't know if u have felt the brembo's, but I have and they are fkn awesome. esp for a light weight car, they really have some serious stopping power. I have driven evo 6's, 02-03 sti's with the brembo's and only thing I can say is they are worth every cent. u get what u pay for.. in our case, it's unfortunate we have to live with the crappier, more inferior 2-piston caliper setup..Quote:

actually i dont think the DC5R is released officially in any market other that JP, UK dun have it, US dun have it. :? & EP3 is only available in UK outside JP, since its made there. US dun get any Type Rs... & their market is so much bigger than ours :(

ps. Dc5r has 4-piston calipers at front, 1-piston caliper at rear (apparently the same as s2000?)
I seriously doubt the dc5r's have 4 piston calipers at the fronts.. if they were 4 piston's, I wouldn't be complaining about the brembo's.
pretty sure ours are 2-piston calipers.
