Misha went full ari vatanen at pikes peak mode on this one, shielding the sun with his hand and of course your videos with hondas never seem to disappoint when it comes to entertainment
tbf 2nd engine he mentioned. but still remarkable considering that this engine gets 200hp out of 1.8 liters. go to bmw's and you barely find any e92 m3 that doesnt have at least its rod bearings done even before 100k sometimes.
@@99Lezard99my FN2 Type R is on 125k miles and the K20 still sings like it’s new. I kick its head in most days and I’m even still on the original clutch 😎
my DC2R was on 180,000km when I sold it, I did 6 trackdays a year, with nothing other than log book maintenance, I literally redlined it every day, it was not burning oil or down on power
I've run both chassis, EG and DC2 and i found that the EG is a more ballance chassis. Dont go b16 turbo, it will overheat like hell. B18c are now dynosaures, the youngest on have 20 years old and when you open it up to add cams, piston or anything else, they are no more reliable. Go K engine swap. You will have a 6 speeds trany that fit with the K. If you want more power than a NA k serie add a supercharger, not a turbo. Cheer from Québec, Canada
@@MrKrampyHands SuperCharger for sure on a track/Circuit car, SuperCharger makes the power curve so predictable and always there. Its also less parts so less stuff to F up, with the kits they have these days ive seen 400+whp on stock f20 s2000's run hard with no issues. SC>TurBo for the 💍...
As a person who has owned 5 DC2 Integra Type R, and over 10 EG Hatch civics…..both of which I’ve had as B18, and K20….I currently have a K20 EG, but can honestly say the DC2 chassis is the best chassis to K swap. The EG and DC2 are so similar that every mechanical part can be directly removed from one and attached to the other. I’ve had EG civics with “every” DC2 part which can be swapped swapped. They are both amazing cars, but for me the DC2 has this tiny bit of magic that makes it almost telepathic feeling. Yes the rear is a little more lively in stock form because the DC2 has thick sway bars, but the lift off oversteer can be dialed in and out on both cars simply with tyre and rear ARB size. For me the DC2 just has something the EG doesn’t in the handling department. Especially at the times when you start to lose control or grip on one of your wheels. Whatever chassis you choose you’ll love it tho.
@@Euphorica I know, and they are still very popular, but civic is not hated around the world, only in murica and its a excellent drivers car that beats around the ring some murican cars that they praise with 3X less power. That is my whole point xD And even if it didnt beat them, the emotions that they claim matters the most is higher in a cheap civic than in those vibrating ships.
If you could find one, a first generation CR-X would be incredibly cool to see as a ring ripper. It's hard to go wrong with an Integra though, NA K24 with a big wing would be fun.
This was the most fun I’ve had in a Honda for a while. That B series engine is a beautiful orchestra. They’ll go down as one of the all time great engines.
Misha, try to go for a K24A2 with a 6 speed LSD transmission, with just a good header, VTC gear and ECU tune, it's easy to make good power. By the way, the EG/DC platform is pretty much identical suspension wise. I'd suggest trying to drive different suspension set ups, front stiff or rear stiff, etc.
190 hp, 1200kg, ~7s to 100, 235 km/h max - raw stats almost exactly identical to the Corrado VR6. A guy in my village actually owned one (a white one too) for a while, but we never got to compare. In stock form, the DC2 is more (track) focused - better weight distribution (no massive 6cyl hanging over the front), diff, suspension; with mods, it should be veeery interesting.
DC2 would run rings around the corrado on any track. A well driven corrado may keep up on straights. JDM 96 spec Integra R is 1060kg…..UK version is 1110kg IIRC.
corrado has some disadvantages tho. like you said the heavy iron block 6 pot engine and especially the torsion bar rear suspension. the dc2 does have a pretty sophisticated suspension design for what it is. but the corrado of course does have a torque advantage having a whole liter of extra displacement.
A VR6 Corrado would probably stay ahead through some high speed sweepers and straights but the ring is pretty technical for it, at least stock. One can carry great momentum through tight turns with the Integra's lift off oversteer if they're used to it. All things depending on the driver's skill though.
Oh PS to Misha: Inspect ALL bushings. The car is more than 25 years old. Very rare to find a car over that age without a split bushing or two unless it was a superb owner that was meticulous in their maintainence. Might want to check wheel bearings.
Trust me, all bushings and every part is like new and in great condition. Checking and maintaining all few thousand KMs. I own the car more than 10 years and build it from stock 😉
@@hoernchenmeister Very nice!!! All too often in repairing cars of that vintage I am recommending replacements for the owners. I personally have a couple Honda, both are various durometer of poly for appropriate ride quality and nvh + control
Great lap! Love the DC2. If you're doing for a Honda build with a K-swap, you should get the engine built by Sneaky Tuning in Almere, NL. The owner knows how to build and tune these engines like no-one else! Greetings from a proud S2000 owner. 😊
If I were you Misha, I would buy an EG shell and spend the extra money on suspension parts and making sure the engine can generate either the torque or the top-end hp to perform decent past Breidsheit. That would mean any number of things, but the big issue with the B or K engines is the rods can’t handle much torque if boosted down low. Either I would focus on building a K20/B18 and add a small turbo or roots supercharger OR a K24 with K20A head and make sure the rods are sufficient on both options. As for the suspension, DC parts can be swapped over to the EG platform straight up and both are double wishbone on the front. You could even build an AWD OR RWD Civic since rear driveline parts are available and even billet transfer cases if you were worried about toughness. The world is your oyster, as they say! Cheers! 🖖😎👍
The owner’s car seems great, but definitely needs stickier tires all around. Will help with the rear sticking, allowing you to get on the throttle earlier at corner exit. More torque would help too like Misha mentioned - K24 swap would fix that.
I was actually on a Trackday at the same day in the morning. There i used Toyo r888r on 16 inch wheels. But they are not legal on my car in Germany, so I had to stay in my road tyres. But they are OK, maybe even better when they are not properly warm (almost impossible in public roads to get the rear tyres on temperature due to the light rear)
@@hoernchenmeisteryeah I feel like this could be an Issue on a DC2R. I ran sporty road tyres when I had mine and balance was good but imagine that the rear end would get kind of sketchy running current gen semis with front on temp but rears unable to get warm enough
Great lap Misha! Whichever chassis you decide to go with, i really hope you document it and put it out there for us to see. Cheers for the amazing content!
And get regular dynos to prove the effect of each part. That and datalogs. Going on track has allowed me to know what is bullshit and what is worth it.
Perhaps a Civic Del Sol would be the chassis for you Misha. Its a bit more compact like the miata and still you can get the type R of it. Or engine swap something into it.
Thats a great platform, and with the technology available today, easily convert to AWD for that extra performance. And I want to add that is some impressive mileage 465k km. That's a cool 288k Miles very nice. Keep it running!
Honda goodness again! Thank you Misha! About stability you mentioned in the beginning, just my two cents: EK Civic wheelbase is actually longer than DC Integra wheelbase, unless Integra is a 4-door sedan, then they are the same
Definitely wins the price for "reckless lack of visibility" for the entire season. Seriously, not cleaning your windshield can reduce your visibility down to nothing, low sun position drives this point home...
You should really make a DC2 build instead of EG/EK hatch. Chassis is more capable; it's regarded as the best FWD chassis ever made. (Source: trust me bro) They also look amazing, especially with the JDM DC2 nose swap🥰 K20 or K20/K24 Frank swap is the way to go: NA with different cams, high flow 4-1 manifold etc. Really hope to see this on your channel someday😁
@@BrodeyDoverosx aye they are, I almost bought one back in the days but needed more space so I got the CH1 Accord R, had it for 8 years 168'000km never an issue.
The wheelbase of a DC2 is 6mm shorter then a EG .If you really want this as a track car I would take a EG .If you ever need body parts DC2 parts are getting harder to find and more expensive. EG or EK body parts are much easier to find and cheaper.
My favorite japanese car. Used it to memorize the turns of Nordschleife in GT7. The car, if I remember correctly, was the result of trying to build something that drives 'easy'.
Tires/Wheels best upgrade to start. Spoon has some super light wheels with perfect offset, as does ADVAN/Yokohama Wheels. I like some of the Mugen wheels, but they are ultra rare at this point, especially the gunmetal ones. Focus on chassis, mo' powa is always mo problems.
I was just saying on another video last week that I'd love to see Misha rip a DC2 around the track. A week later and here it is. A coincidence of course, but oddly so. Thanks for this. The DC2 Integra will always be one of my favorite cars ever built. (was a 1995 Integra GS-R owner for many enjoyable years)
Dc2 chassis tend to have the edge on track over EG when moded. Maybe down to aerodynamics or just the extra length that could probably help the car rotating. Also, the rear wheel wells are stiffer as well as the C pillar area. Egs tend to dominate in drag racing, though
Drives me crazy. Evening drives on B-roads in the autumn season, going west, I can’t see a thing. I have to wear my golf sunglasses to mitigate as much sun as possible.
Integras only get snap oversteer when you use PU trailing arm bushings. They can bind up the suspension, and they also remove engineered toe-in under braking. Stock bushings (in good condition) are way more controllable. The 3p front tower bar is worth it, way better than the stock 2p bar.
these trailing arm poly bushes that can slide left to right on the pin in the middle. they are probably at fault. energy suspension makes these for example.
When I first saw the wing I thought it was overkill for this car, but after the lap began I understood the need. Nice lap except for that sudden yellow flag.
Hi Misha. You are doing some great job and I really enjoy your content. It would be awesome if you could make a video with a rally car, especially a tarmac-focused rally car like 306 Maxi or some other F2 Kit Car. If there is such possibility, please make it happen. Thanks.
I was just like you, Misha…I wanted an integra chassis with an eg front end so i bought an Ej1 (eg coupe) and threw in a built gsr turbo. If you’re stuck in between like i was, then i would definitely recommend the coupe version with it’s longer wheel base
I love FWD tail happy cars, it's what I grew up driving fast. Once you get used to it having the rear break traction in a fast corner feels so natural. The DC2 is rated as one of the best ever handling FWD car.
You gotta try the honda h22A engine if you can find one misha. Only then you can decide which one is the best for you. I personally drive an eg four door with b18cr just like in this vid. 🙂
With the enthusiasm that Misha has when rocking VTEC Rickshaws I'm surprised a Civic hasnt been born yet. A high compression K series with a Rotrex would be a perfect Ring weapon.
Amazing driving Misha, as always. I would love you to show us driving NSX, or something other super special from Japanese, like Toyota 2000GT!🤩 Thank you for what you do and especial for pedal camera, I love doing heal and toes!🙃
if the rear is unstable, more camber probably wont help. more toe in will help. also, if he is running a certain style of trailing arm bushings......the big ones in the middle of the trailing arms....that might also explain the lose rear end. there are some companys out there that make poly bushes for these trailing arms that kinda dont really work well because the arms can slide left and right on these....wouldnt be suprised if he has those
@@hoernchenmeister ok das könnte erklären warum das heck unruhig is. energy suspension macht die dicken buchsen im längslenker scheisse. original sind die ja auf diesen pin aufvulkanisiert. wenn man da jetz ne ES buchse drauf macht kann der lenker auf der buchse nach links und rechts rutschen und das darf der nich. mach da entweder ne originale buchse rein oder spoon oder hardrace.
@@arcanevoid9199 some want a more stable rear end. i would agree that lift off oversteer is nice on turn in. but i think his loose rear end has another cause anyway
I think with the turbo you loose some part of driveability and emotion, keep it N/A or supercharge should be interesting for linear power delivery and maintain the sound :) i know hard decision xD looking forward for youre build! :)
It's impressive (comparing B18 with a K24) how the relative lack of torque, makes the dynamic weight transfer F>R under WOT way less noticable. The K24 EG was permanently "light" on the front, so much so that it makes the car way more demanding and, ultimately, exciting/"sweaty". The DC2 is a perfect driving 'scalpel', yet, the relative lack if excitement makes it far more difficult to appreciate its dynamic virtues. Brilliant stuff!
I started a honda racing car club in 1993 for a few years (a couple years before the civic and integras Type R came out). Its amazing to see how car engines and handling has come. 25 years ago this was an elite front drive racer. Its really aged in a strange familiar way. But really not all that fasr. You have had stock newer underpowered cars do better than this in most spots. I have great memories of 1990s hondas and acuras though....
Got to be DC2! Can be made to look so good with a wing, I have 2 an ITR and non ITR import (currently in the middle of K-swapping) Make it happen Misha!
Misha, go for EG with K20/K24 Frank and add a blower if you need more of that torqzzzz. You will have a reliable and "budget" ~900kg car with roughly 360-400 hp, depending on your setup.

Misha, go with Accord type R CH1 🙂. Antoher way with h22a7. Honda Builds like civics and Integras are so obvious ;-)
A track oriented DC2 with a jdm front end swap is my vote! :D
Good video
When I first saw the wing I thought it was overkill for this car, but after the lap began I understood the need. Nice lap except for that sudden yellow flag.
Hi Misha. You are doing some great job and I really enjoy your content. It would be awesome if you could make a video with a rally car, especially a tarmac-focused rally car like 306 Maxi or some other F2 Kit Car. If there is such possibility, please make it happen. Thanks.
I was just like you, Misha…I wanted an integra chassis with an eg front end so i bought an Ej1 (eg coupe) and threw in a built gsr turbo. If you’re stuck in between like i was, then i would definitely recommend the coupe version with it’s longer wheel base
Cool guy, cool car, awsome driving. Misha is a vtec god....
Nobody:
Me: SEVERLY wishing someone would bring him a prelude, and/or H swapped civic :(
These Civic worshiper sheep will never know the best Fwd N/A Honda. H22 Prelude with superior suspension and better wheel base and weight distribution
without a doubt. the handling capabilities preludes can have is unmatched..@@endlesstwisties
I love FWD tail happy cars, it's what I grew up driving fast. Once you get used to it having the rear break traction in a fast corner feels so natural. The DC2 is rated as one of the best ever handling FWD car.
You gotta try the honda h22A engine if you can find one misha. Only then you can decide which one is the best for you. I personally drive an eg four door with b18cr just like in this vid. 🙂
Your officially now a Honda guy Misha
Misha, why don't you build a Honda Jazz with K24Z?
"K is the way".
~All that Jazz~
Car looked amazing in person. Very nice to have met the owner Padi and Misha 👍👍👍
With the enthusiasm that Misha has when rocking VTEC Rickshaws I'm surprised a Civic hasnt been born yet. A high compression K series with a Rotrex would be a perfect Ring weapon.
A DC2 build would be awesome! Specially with a turbo
The odometer reading at 6.16min was almost perfect 465321, if only the trip counter had 789 in it, that would have been extra cool 😎
Do a Js racing Honda build.
And I'll pretend it's mine. 😂
I own a m5 f90, believe me. These honda’s are more fun to drive.
IT'S OVER 9000 ...!!!!! Well, kinda, almost
My 97 gsr was the best driving car I’ve ever driven or owned! Shame it caught fire last year 😔
Amazing driving Misha, as always. I would love you to show us driving NSX, or something other super special from Japanese, like Toyota 2000GT!🤩 Thank you for what you do and especial for pedal camera, I love doing heal and toes!🙃
i think a DC2 Integra k swap with the japanese front end is my favourite
if the rear is unstable, more camber probably wont help. more toe in will help.
also, if he is running a certain style of trailing arm bushings......the big ones in the middle of the trailing arms....that might also explain the lose rear end.
there are some companys out there that make poly bushes for these trailing arms that kinda dont really work well because the arms can slide left and right on these....wouldnt be suprised if he has those
Yes, energy suspensions all around. Maybe i'll also try toe in. Thank you for advice.
@@hoernchenmeister ok das könnte erklären warum das heck unruhig is. energy suspension macht die dicken buchsen im längslenker scheisse.
original sind die ja auf diesen pin aufvulkanisiert. wenn man da jetz ne ES buchse drauf macht kann der lenker auf der buchse nach links und rechts rutschen und das darf der nich.
mach da entweder ne originale buchse rein oder spoon oder hardrace.
you dont want toe in on the rear of a fwd
@@arcanevoid9199 some want a more stable rear end. i would agree that lift off oversteer is nice on turn in. but i think his loose rear end has another cause anyway
@@99Lezard99 yes but its likely not what is causing it. rear toe in just adds understeer
I think with the turbo you loose some part of driveability and emotion, keep it N/A or supercharge should be interesting for linear power delivery and maintain the sound :) i know hard decision xD looking forward for youre build! :)
Make it 10k rpm BECAUSE IT'S OVER 9000 ! 😂
My most favourite Honda of all time thanks Misha, this is definitely one of my two garage 👍
It's impressive (comparing B18 with a K24) how the relative lack of torque,
makes the dynamic weight transfer F>R under WOT way less noticable.
The K24 EG was permanently "light" on the front, so much so that it makes the car way more demanding and, ultimately, exciting/"sweaty".
The DC2 is a perfect driving 'scalpel', yet, the relative lack if excitement makes it far more difficult to appreciate its dynamic virtues.
Brilliant stuff!
JDM DC2 with a built K20/K24 Frank. 300bhp 900kg+ if done correctly.
Very good performance considering these bad tires.
Well done!
K20 supercharged in what ever chassis you decide..
Finally!! I was praying for Misha that he'd do a lap in a DC2 whilst I was doing the same in assetto corsa haha!!
Integra DC5 would be a nice Nurb toy...but I think you are Honda S2000 driver, properly track built with the "Green Hell" in mind as a target track.
Hondas always fly no matter how much horsepower 🇯🇵🚀
I had a similar car - the back end dragging along was what convinced me to get a proper RWD car and I got the NSX then :)
DC2R is such a special car. I’m really glad you got to drive it and love seeing this lap.
Every time I see one of these I think of @DannyDC2.
over 465kKm , what a car :D
Misha your next project should be calf raises after that pedal cam 😅
I started a honda racing car club in 1993 for a few years (a couple years before the civic and integras Type R came out).
Its amazing to see how car engines and handling has come. 25 years ago this was an elite front drive racer. Its really aged in a strange familiar way. But really not all that fasr. You have had stock newer underpowered cars do better than this in most spots.
I have great memories of 1990s hondas and acuras though....
Got to be DC2! Can be made to look so good with a wing, I have 2 an ITR and non ITR import (currently in the middle of K-swapping) Make it happen Misha!
Misha, go for EG with K20/K24 Frank and add a blower if you need more of that torqzzzz. You will have a reliable and "budget" ~900kg car with roughly 360-400 hp, depending on your setup.
Great cars those dc2s!
Congrats to the owner.
Thank you :)
I vote for Dc2! You should build a type r!
