I bought this JDM DC5 @ $122k. I'm still not very clear about the specs, i guessed it's more or less the same. I have yet to see the 2005 facelift.Originally posted by sidestep1984:how much did u pay for ure dc5? -
an injen CAI will work wonders for you car.
check out www.clubrsx.com for all the great info about the DC5.
i increase by bhp from 160 to 180+ with the injen cai. (driving the acura rsx type-s, 200hp) -
i presume u bought the new jdm type-R as opposed to the GSR from kah motor?Originally posted by Mogu:I bought this JDM DC5 @ $122k. I'm still not very clear about the specs, i guessed it's more or less the same. I have yet to see the 2005 facelift.
hps the same as the non facelifted R then rated at 220 ps at the crank (roughly 170-180 on wheel). dunno if they changed any minor stuff that'll affect the mod capability or not in the new car though.
lots of stuff u can do to gain power, but the fastest and most cost efficient way is to add a super or a turbo charger. suggest u dun become yet another power freak but work on making more "driveable" power.
unlike high performance 4WD or RWD cars, the DC5R suffers from inherent FF disadvantages and it'll become harder to control and drive on the roads the higher u go in terms of hps (it looks tons better den any other car though
) work on further weight reduction and suspension mods (shocks, stabilizers and strut bars) to capitalize on the existing advantages of light weight and excellent handling to make it an all round, fast car.
yes, its is possible to achieve 220 or more hps on wheel (250 to 260 at crank) with simple bolt ons but it wun be juz a programmable ecu or headers that'll do it. u also need a good air intake and a VERY free flow exhaust to work in conjunction with those. -
its not possible to reach 230bhp on wheels alone with only simple bolt on mods.

u can simply bolt on a turbocharger wad...Originally posted by TRUST:its not possible to reach 230bhp on wheels alone with only simple bolt on mods.

DC-5... take a look here: http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/Honda_Integra.php
Got all the specs and latest price for it. -
try it.. lets see how long does it take for you to 'piang' your engine and u need a new one.Originally posted by TwinTurbo_Supra:u can simply bolt on a turbocharger wad...
fyi, turbocharger isn't a simple bolt on mod. you need to change to low compression pistons, reduce the compression ratio of the engine, piggyback the ecu, retune it, change a downpipe, slightly bigger exhaust, add an intercooler, re-run piping and etc etc. furthermore u need to upgrade quite alot of stuff. saying is easy, doing is another...
if u really do own a supra, maybe u will know its not easy. -

Tsk!!!!!! Too many rich people in this forum man!!!!!!Originally posted by Mogu:I bought this JDM DC5 @ $122k. I'm still not very clear about the specs, i guessed it's more or less the same. I have yet to see the 2005 facelift. Throw out $122k on a car without even knowing the specs yet.
*sigh*
You want a god son not? -
lol agreed ... i cannot even afford a remote control carOriginally posted by Bloop...:Tsk!!!!!! Too many rich people in this forum man!!!!!! Throw out $122k on a car without even knowing the specs yet.

jus clarifying.. don't take offense.. With bolt on mods, DC5R can max out jus below 260bhp. -
agreed that it's difficult, but not impossible. dyno charts from lots of sources have proven it. check out US sites such as clubrsx.com and tov.net. those hps in excess of 230 whps were obtained from USDM base 200 ps k20a2 using bolt ons so definitely not impossible with the JDM 220 ps k20a.Originally posted by TRUST:its not possible to reach 230bhp on wheels alone with only simple bolt on mods. -
nos will be better...
use regularly
charge reguarly
cold joke
