dc5r or dc2r-what would you prefer?

[_bORdO_]

The DC2R has been tuned to its limits.
Using the blue prints from the Integra vtiR, they were able to construct the complete package in the DC2R pushing an extra 17kw, making it close to 90kg lighter + a heap more finely tuned parts in general.
Hence the fact it is called the true typeR...

The implementation of the newer K20A engine ment starting from scratch.
Yes people hate Honda for not using the double wishbone - but hey Mitsubishi use the Macpherson Strut in there Evolution models, i dont see any problems with there handling.

...Besides the DC5R only has the Macpherson Strut in the front...

Imagine Honda decided to not care to much about the environment (with all these green friendly cars made - not just with Honda but every other manufacturer) and focused more on completing their development on this newer K20A engine?
We've already seen mod for mod the DC5R>DC2R

Just imagine if there was a new model of Integra to come, using the DC5R as the blue print (like Honda used the vtiR to create the DC2R) and made the new "tuned to its limits" DC5R!!
I know which one i would pick.

Weather it be the DC2 or the DC5 we all love our Integras and there is no denying how enthusiastic we are about it.
That is what makes a good community & i love to be part of it.

lol yea thats true but the person who posted up this picture with the shit angle pics is a dc5 fan lol and to the other person talking up the dc2rs interior im all about simple stock look... dont realy care about the side water temp guages n things you dont really need if it was turboed and it had a boost guage fair enough.. and the dc5r seats is too similar to the sr3z so im not fussed about that either... i was mainly talking about the amour all shiney look you can get from the dc2rs dash thats all..

the only thing i reckon in the photos the dc5 has over the dc2r is the door handle lol but even then WHO CARES!!! DC2R ALL THE WAY and i read a fact somewhere along time ago power to wieght dc2r 'JUST' beats the dc5r...

[cvc247]

ohhh and IMO i find it funny how every single type r comes with carbon fibre inserts EXCEPTTTTTTTTTTT the dc5r lol so IMO again dc2r is a better type r... and k20a compared to b18c7 yea fair enough the b series motor is a 20 year technology but ive beaten dc5s's and dc5rs im not saying by 93478583476 car lengths but i have... and im sure my car has lost power aswell... so i think thats poor effort on the k series behalf...



BUT OTHER THEN THAT i reckon the dc2r and the dc5r are the sexiest hondas out!! =]

LOL! i hope they dont close this thread. Theres actually no answer to this, its a matter of personal opinion and looks like DC2 Type-R is still in most people's heart. Would be interesting to read in the future as the post goes on and on for as long as it takes, LOL

DC2r atw. Both are 2 different series, B vs K. Interior od dc2 is just look more simple then dc5.

We've already seen mod for mod the DC5R>DC2R

can you explain this?

if you mod the dC2R the same as DC5R the DC2R is still lighter meaning it would still beat the DC5R?

AUDM DC5R K20A engines produce more power than the AUDM DC2R B18CR after bolt ons.

AUDM DC5R is more restricted from factory than the AUDM DC2R

Only issue with the DC5R is the high dash and the suspension as it tends to be a bit tricky to get to most peopls liking.

I've owned both and overall the DC2R is the better handling car where as the DC5R has the better engine.

And TBH this thread has the most stupid replies I've seen.

How ya going burak,

can you explain this?

if you mod the dC2R the same as DC5R the DC2R is still lighter meaning it would still beat the DC5R?

I'm sure some can elaborate more on what im trying to say - but ill try an put it into perspective.

Ok first of all let me start off with saying the AUDM K20A motor in the DC5R actually has just as much potential as the JDM spec DC5R, the differences are fairly subtle.

The new K20A engine has roughly been tuned to output around 130-150kw atw with the standard bolt ons (ie. I/H/E + ecu & tune) and there should be a little left in it yet...
Throw in some hardcore cams and valves, better clutch and fly & intake manifold im sure you would be looking @ 165kw+ (roughly)

To get these results in the older B18C7 takes quite a lot of effort, the DC5 might not be as raw as the DC2's driving experience - but there is more potential in it.

i like looking at my cluster knowing that it looks like it can rev to 10,000 =)
instead of a dc5r sport look that only goes to 9000
that extra digit took my breathe away.
