I have a '98 DC2 Vtir. I have big plans for the interior and exterior cosmetics, but I don't have any plans for the performance of the car.
I was wondering what modifications / upgrades are recommended for noticeable performance enhancement?
My car is near stock, I only have a basic after market exhaust from the cat to tip, slightly lowered on dampening adjustable coil overs and a strut bar in the engine bay.
All suggestions are welcome :)
Thanks in advanced
Swap your final drive ratio for something like a DC2R 4.78 or aftermarket 4.9:1. Best bang for buck without a doubt, most noticeable mod short of a turbo kit.
lightweight flywheel
pm Vvvtec
K24 engine hehe
+1 for 4.9fd. Will totally wake that motor up from its slumber
Flywheel + final drive will make u roll other dc2s with every bolt on
Plus you'll flyby sounding stock win win sleeper
So flywheel and final drive seem to be the best suggestion. best suggestion for where to get one?

unfortunately not doing an engine swap yet
Ebay will be your cheapest bet, but look for reputable brands. Don't wanna pay labour for a gearbox twice
I can supply what you need - pm if interested.
Best bang for your buck mod on a honda is an injen cold air intake or equivalent. Recently put one on my dc2r and that crossover sounds amazing.
Sound mods are a bit overrated from a performance perspective don't ya think?Quote:

Are you a p plater? technically as a p plater engine mods arnt allowed so just having the basic
intake
headers
exhaust
should do for now
I am a p-plater but not long till I get my fulls. wanna get it up and running as best as possible for when im off.
Key words here are 'noticeable performance gains'.
Proper cold air intake and full exhaust (header/hi-flow cat/cat-back + muffler) sure you might notice a bit of sound but it's not like you'll be gaining big ponies.
If you want to notice it you really need to stick on a turbo or go play with the engine/GBox internals.
I would consider:
- turbo setup
- K24 swap
- N/A setup with B20 block (this you will notice)
- N/A setup with cams/valvetrain/valve job and some tasteful GBox modifications like a shorter final drive (maybe a 4.9) and an LSD
Who did ur tune Andy?Quote:
