Kenny's Sleeping Performance Sponsored DC2

[mytfoz]

Hi guys, I've never done this before but thought I'd give it a crack at making a build thread.

My name is Kenny and I currently own a black dc2.

A little about my background first. Previously I had a turbo DC2R with an OEM B18C7, fitted with a GT35R that made 214kw @ 8psi on MSC Performance's dyno.






First track day after installing the turbo kit, we suffered gearbox issues. I was then faced with the dilemma of having to rebuild the B series gearbox, when a good friend of mine stumbled across a black K20 swapped DC2 Integra. After weighing up my options, I decided to part out my DC2R and purchased the black DC2.






The car came with a few basic bolt ons for the K20. Everything else was pretty much stock and it was making 135.9kws on Chasers Motorsports Dyno.





After purchasing my new car, the first thing I did was put a few left over parts I had, that I knew would work in developing my build.

I installed my:
- F7 LCA
- AMR ENGINEERING COILOVERS
- OPTIONAL SIDE SKIRTS
- CARBON FIBRE REAR PODS
- C-WEST FROM LIP
- MUGEN WING GEN 2
- NARDI STEEERING WHEEL
- PROJECT MU FRONT & REAR PADS





I then sent the car off to Havoc for a 3in exhaust & cold air intake. I had a 3.5in blast pipe made up for when I was on track at the same time.






First track day out at Winton in the new car was a Tampered Motosport day on the Labour Day weekend. I wasn’t really paying attention to my times, as it was my first time out in this car I was still learning the track and the car.


Second track day at Winton was another Tampered day and after some more practice, I managed a best of 1:41.6


A week later I received some goodies in the mail . These were in the form of a Voltex wing that was purchased when I had my last Integra & I also received my PASSWORD JDM air duct. Thanks to Fielding from Import Performance & Styling. Fielding is a very helpful guy and his delivery time is very good.

The other thing I realised after the Tampered day was that the car needed a retune. I approached Dave again and after a lot of discussions regarding either staying with 98RON or making the switch to E85, I decided to tune the car for E85.

Around this time I received notification that I had been accepted into the upcoming EXE track day. I decided to make a splitter to work in conjunction with my wing and with a few of the boys help, we made a base design to work with.





EXE track day came along and Dave from Logfile Tuning Australia, made the trip up to Winton with me to help set the car up. After datalogging a couple of sessions, Dave made some final touch ups to the map, helping smooth out slight imperfections we found. Throughout the day we were also making adjustments to the chassis, which made the car a lot more fun to drive. I was able to set a new PB of 1.37.0 running on Yokohama A050.







I still had a couple of goodies lying around from the old Integra and one of those thing are my STOP-TECH BBK, which we recently installed. Fitting these required me to upgrade to 17in wheels to clear the larger diameter rotor.






In preparation for my next track day, which will be at Wakefield at the end of June, Dave & I sat down to do some quick ratio calculations. We decided to opt for a 5.06 Final drive, which will help the car a lot more at both Wakefield & Winton. We are currently fitting the new final drive to the gearbox as I type this.





I will keep the updates coming as I progess with the car and do some more track days. Here are some random pictures I have for you to have a look at.
