Cheers for the comments guys @Polog4tracer No special wiring, jus standard auto wire. Used 7core for in sum places so i wouldn't hav a pile a seperate one running anywher Manifold is off a Euro R Accord with an adaptor for the DC5 throttle body. No other plans for engine yet till i get the car on track and all setup etc. Should be in the region of 230-240 as it is now
Looking might fine indeed! just about to rewire my mk1 golf as its proper bodge city after the last owners efforts, Where did you get all your elec wiring goodies from? online?
@mk1g60turbo No special wiring etc used, jus standard stuff. A mate is an electrican and does sound instals so he had most of the stuff anyway. New rev counter any the way aswell
what gearbox you using, the dc5 one? Did that have an lsd in as std? Assume full honda gear linkage and shifter aswell or was it modded slightly to fit. Just been browsing on wikipedia about the engines the dc5 is listed as two engine outputs for the integra, i assume the 160bhp one is the 'type S' and 200-220bhp is type R one? or am i reading it wrong. Was just wondering what differences there are in terms of identifying the higher power, high compression one - different code? K20A 2001-2007 JDM Honda Integra Type-R (DC5) Displacement: 1,998 cc (121.9 cu in) Compression: 11.5:1 Power: 220 PS (217 hp/162 kW) @ 8000 rpm Torque: 206 Nm (152 lbft) @ 7000 rpm Redline: 8600 rpm I-VTEC Engagement: 6200 rpm 2001-2007 Honda Integra Type-S (DC5) Displacement: 1,998 cc (121.9 cu in) Compression: 9.8:1 Power: 160 PS (158 hp/118 kW) @ 6500 rpm Torque: 142 ftlbf (195 Nm) @ 4000 rpm Redline: 6800 rpm I-VTEC Engagement: 6000 rpm
@Polog4tracer. Yep DC5 box with LSD as standard aswell as shifter and cables. In relation to the 2 diff engines, TypeR is the Jap spec and the TypeS only seemed to be in the Amercian market in the RSX. They never came to europe. Tink the head etc is all different. After that i couldn't really say to be honest. Car woz dropped off at exhaust fabricator yesterday evening. Should be ready for when i get back from hols in a fortnite, only does exhausts in the evenings. Olso a mate that is sorting out the suspension has ben in contact with a suspension manufacturer (keeping quiet for now ) should be very special
Few more updates. Exhaust is all done [/IMG] [/IMG] Will put up sum pics of underneath when get a chance. Dash finished with new Tacho and gearknob [/IMG] [/IMG] New Sparco Corsa seat [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] Also got her weighed aswell. Any guesses to what she weighed in at??
im guessing 3500kg i was very very impressed by the weight, you will have to sit on it during windy days incase it blows away
Didn't expect it to be as light. Once it was under the ton i would've happy but 899kgs, well pleased with that. The alloy block in the engine deffently helped. Forgot all about lettin you know i was bringin it down Mark, sorry
by the time alan told me it was in fahy's it was already gone, hopefully ill get to see it lapping mondello soon. will you be at the next track day because alan and colin are talking about going and i should be there to
899 is very encouraging, would you mind giving the splits for that? (or at least the front to rear) I've read your thread on here and on the Irish site, as far as I can see you have not taken any special steps to lighten the actual shell i.e. not 'acid dipped' or excessive attention with the hole saw, can you confirm this? Thanks
Thats in October isn't it Mark? Will depend on how long it takes for the suspension to be made etc. I'll go up to it myself anyways, wanna hav a good luck at the mk2 on track. I intend on bringin it to Tynagh for a test day before the new suspension lands, get everyting bedded in and any problems sorted out. @ S1MON, i haven't got the splits myself. mate thats ordering the suspension etc has all information. I'll get it off him when i get a chance. Yep correct, no acid dippin, hole sawin. door and boot are lightened alri. It still has the standard bonnet (16kgs) tink big help is the alloy block of the Honda engine, lack of dash etc etc
Cheers for the comments guys @ PhatVR6 I never actually weighed the engine, ment to before i put it in the final time but forgot. Id say it is a nice bit lighter than the a VW 1.
Suspension is ordered Now to save big time for it as it ain't cheap, but it is the dogs b****ks Will tell yew what it is when it has landed and have sum pics. bout 3-4wks due to it being custom. Car goin for mapping nxt wk aswel
