Its pretty crazy hes so fast with just off the shelf parts...most people could build something like this. Props to Jim for being open about his build in such a competitive field
The DC2R was amazing. The last time I was on the track was a Kswapped DC2R. Still I cannot give Honda/Acura a break on this. They should have, and still could, given us a true successor to the DC2R and have chosen not to
John Gorgis It is close but I would have to disagree. We will have to see what the newest Si can do but I think that Honda has not been putting their full effort or abilities into it.
i drive an fg4 civic and the chassis handles pretty well but in comparison to the older civics and integras it's kind of a fatass. the chassis is good but 2900lbs is still 2900lbs
HOLY CRAP that car gave me chills..its freakin quick! Its crazy that the car is almost literally stuff you can buy off the shelf. Obviously the motor is built but for the most part everything is readily available for purchase.
Amazing integra, that's why I love this chassis! These things are on rails in stock form..imagine that beast?! seems pretty dialed! Only bad part? He gave the competition their setup :0
Mad props for driving like that with that hand! also, suprised how NA the car sounds when hes driving it hard, couldn't hear the blower until the very end haha. Never owned a FWD car but the hondas are calling me... just looking on honda tech you can get so much car for the money... (puts subaru up for sale)
+zeroyon223 ha that's funny because I'm having the exact opposite experience. Feel like I'm always fixing my Subaru. I often leave the subie take the Si going anywhere. Still like my Subaru it's just been kind of a pain in my ass lately.
just what i was thinking! there spanking gt3 records in the "3rd slowest" class and top classes beating formula 3. Hondas R killing it with jdmyard's eg6, mighty mouse and his crx and ek9 that won cppl back 2 back sp!rint class wins. wonder how it would fair. level is so high there! pro class with under Suzuki and such is fricken Ridiculous!
I dont need to read above or be an expert to comment . Been building powerful Hondas for 20 yrs before they were cool even. A rear wing does nothing for a fwd car no matter the power output. Any knowledgeable car person knows this. SOoooo
You've been building powerful Hondas for 20 years but never built one that turned any fast laps on a race track. If you don't know what you're talking about you should keep your comments to yourself, otherwise it makes you look foolish!
To my knowledge, wouldn't a rear wing on a fwd car help with stability? Considering it has a bigger and stiffer roll bar in the rear. Hence the inside rear wheel coming off the ground during turning. I vaguely remember seeing this old video of a EK9 on a track and the driver demonstrating how the car handled with and without the rear wing. The car was a lot less consistent and the driver seemed to be having a hard time controlling the car. Also considering that in that video the EK9 had around 250hp compared to the 500 this DC2 has
Such stupid way of thinking. Just because a 500hp purpose built race car has a wing doesn't mean your FF daily driver requires a wing. THAT is where the the sentiment comes from. For a street car, I would be more concerned of the front lifting at highway speeds. Putting a big-ass, off the shelf (i.e., cosmetic) wing likely hurts more than it helps. Engineering functional aero is not a simple thing. The primary purpose of a rear wing is to balance the front aero. The entire package is dependent on the vehicle's downforce requirements for a particular track...
it's not a type-r it's left hand drive, I don't know why he would say that. but there's nothing entirely special about the type-r when you strip the interior and stuff.
dc2r's came in left hand drive to north america...The biggest thing about a type R chassis is that it is Seam wielded..which makes the chassis alot more regit than a normal DC2.. so it is a big difference.
+Virux lol based what you said, which was "a stripped down type r is the same as a normal integra" is what i responded to which is clearly false. no one was talking about racing cars being seam wielded. The fact you deleted your comment proves you were in the wrong lol.
sharmilan raj yeah. I've been into Hondas for so long and never seen or heard of a US type-r. everybody bitching about how we never got them and all the hype with the 2016 etc. All the threads I seen with type r's were LHD so ~shrug~
Damn guys , it's just a tip . Even though I never been on a track , it helps me via engine braking , allowing me to stop faster . Meaning braking later at corners . Idk how it is with a turbo car tho since I use a b16 all motor , so I can see what you mean about it not being easy , but it's very good to practice and master . Specially in daily driving when someone is brake happy in front of you
Does the chassis need reinforcing with wider tires and this much power? I own an S2000 ap1 and there are weak points, just curious about this DC5 chassis, or is it a DC2?
500 isn't alot when im nitrous k24 /k20 at 515hp.. stock k blocks boosted hold up to 550 on stock sleeves. when they turn up the psi with those internals il say about 600hp max. Ktuned race proven
is it for drag tho...? cuz for time attack thats more then enough. mighty mouse crx is fucken murdering you name it ( r32,r33,r34,evo,porche,wrx,silvias,fd) and he's running less then 500. like low mid 400 i think and that Aus course is super open. ppl getting in 6th gear kine. WTAC is the shit!!!!
because fwd cars dont have much weight at the back so the back tends to be unstable at high speed (depends how you set the rears wheels - toe in, out or parallel) using a spoiler creates down force at the back and pushes the rear down. The spoiler and the diffuser working in harmony can create a lot of downforce which helps the back end to be a lot stable and to give good grip
On a racecar running 255 width A7s in the front and 225 width at the back, and heavy forward weight bias, this thing probably has a lot of lift-throttle oversteer under trail braking, hence the need for rear aero grip. This car is dialed in. No rice to be found here.
These in cabin videos are so much better to watch when they’re banging through the gears. Dcts or paddle shifters just arent satisfying time watch. #savethemanuals
centrifugal supercharger. it's the same impeller design as a turbocharger, just belt driven instead of turbine driven. so it basically sounds like a turbo, but with less whistle because there's no wastegate. in a built car like that with no cats, resonators, or mufflers the exhaust noise is so loud it just covers up the noise of the supercharger. they make roots blowers for the k series but usually people go for the centrifugal design because it's easier to cool the charge air (just use an intercooler like in a normal turbocharged setup. no crazy complicated liquid cooling or aftercooler setups).

Its pretty crazy hes so fast with just off the shelf parts...most people could build something like this. Props to Jim for being open about his build in such a competitive field
Honda/Acura messed up big time by letting this car die. The DC chassis is still one of the best out there. The Integra needs to make a come back
they made a type r of it and killed it. at least the dc2 left on a good note
The DC2R was amazing. The last time I was on the track was a Kswapped DC2R. Still I cannot give Honda/Acura a break on this. They should have, and still could, given us a true successor to the DC2R and have chosen not to
the new civic si is that basically
John Gorgis It is close but I would have to disagree. We will have to see what the newest Si can do but I think that Honda has not been putting their full effort or abilities into it.

I think you guys forgot the best mod of them all... The driver!!!
LOLOLOLOLOL Pete like 30 seconds after he says its 500 horsepower just cuts him off and yells "HOW MUCH POWER?!!?" hahahaha
I know I say this a lot on your video comments lately but God Damn! That sound!
So basically this dude can drive. Oh and Type-R.
He can definitely drive!
Can't heel toe tho', lol
What an absolute weapon!
down to earth fellow, good luck
"It aint a tight car if it aint a type-r"
If it aint got a lot of rust...it aint a type-r 😅
+kSeries vtec haven't seen a type r with rust
+kSeries vtec you know there are southern states correct?
Oh hey that was me in the white si that drive by 😁
This car is awesome to watch!!!!
for euros, aussies etc. it makes: 367 kw, 406 nm (at wheels)
Amazing integra, that's why I love this chassis! These things are on rails in stock form..imagine that beast?! seems pretty dialed! Only bad part? He gave the competition their setup :0
Mad props for driving like that with that hand! also, suprised how NA the car sounds when hes driving it hard, couldn't hear the blower until the very end haha. Never owned a FWD car but the hondas are calling me... just looking on honda tech you can get so much car for the money... (puts subaru up for sale)
+Anthony Buscemi he said it sounds NA..
Subarus are NOT more reliable than an a Honda, modified or not.
+Sam Buffington Alot of people on TH-cam don't read
Miles Lawrence Truuuuue.
+zeroyon223 ha that's funny because I'm having the exact opposite experience. Feel like I'm always fixing my Subaru. I often leave the subie take the Si going anywhere. Still like my Subaru it's just been kind of a pain in my ass lately.
The driver is one of the main reasons why this car is fast
Btterthanyu it isn’t sped up. Watch the amount of time that passes vs what the lap time is
Very cool build. Loving the proper manual transmission, the way it should be.
I fucking love those noises I really want to reach 500hp+ next year on my rsx-s!
Bro he can drive that car, ppl don't understand how hard it is to make turns like that back to back so smooth while going 60-100mph
The Guy knows his stuff!
a good set of brains and skills were behing the built of this car👍
Awesome car really liking it a lot
That Jackson Supercharger always sounds so sick.! I want your old one from the FRS! And your wing!! Ha, ha!
"not that much power, only 500whp" lol seriously! That's a lot of power for ultra light chassis :)
+Anthony Buscemi 2500ibs with driver is pretty light
the previous record holder is a 220hp n/a bolt on k24 hatch lol
nope, previous record holder is the PZ Tuning 700whp Civic. Here's their lap record video from last year. th-cam.com/video/1hSYuvR8KxQ/w-d-xo.html
Speed Academy didn't know they beat out John's record last year.
+Anthony Buscemi but it's 2500 with him in it. car weighs ~2300.
This car sounds insane!
Holy shit that thing is bad ass! I would love to see more VTEC on boost cars!
Bring it to World Time Attack Challenge , :) need to see more cars from the US come :D
just what i was thinking! there spanking gt3 records in the "3rd slowest" class and top classes beating formula 3.

This car/driver is from Canada
big fan of this teggy. always have my eyes on it at cscs
1:45 The guy's thinking "Ain't you listening or what?" ...
K24+K20A are beast.!!!
Also SIIIICK!!! seems hes still got a lot of room for improvement as well!
Oh....Awsome integra as well
"Doesn't make crazy power. Makes like 500 wheel horsepower." Ha! Had to laugh at that.
Well, compared to the 1000hp the WTAC cars make this isn't too crazy I guess.
He is a great driver too!!
basically the setup I want to do with my EG except I want a TSX 6 speed manual
Would love to see this, BYP dc2 and the JDM yard eg battling around SMSP at WTAC
fuck yeah. go james
Sooo sick! I love that integra
This was awesome. How did you get such clean audio for the in car footage?
"Not a whole lot of horsepower"... "How much HP?"... "500 HP" lol
At the end. Totaly racing this song is.
Badass! Whether you like it or not!
That Rev Limiter
Damn that k24 is quick
Looks fancy
Will this be at WTAC, though?
say what you want about the car, but that lap was made by the driver. flawless lap.
Does the larger front set of tires cut down the amount of torque steer? And why not run a square set up? Awesome video though!
More tire up front for increased grip.
+Speed Academy does that increased grip only apply to front will drive cars that are tracked? The more grip the less torque steer then right?
That was sick
we need Andrew brilliants' eclipse and James' DC2 to have a lil race.
How many of you "Experts" will say fwd doesn't need a rear wing??? I'm waiting...
It dont so ugly and pointless!
I dont need to read above or be an expert to comment . Been building powerful Hondas for 20 yrs before they were cool even. A rear wing does nothing for a fwd car no matter the power output. Any knowledgeable car person knows this. SOoooo

that dinner plate tho fam. it looks so good
Honda goals!
I really like this beast
The guys the started Carbotech sold and started G-Lok. 👍🏾
what about that white suzuki swift in the left of the video, @6:33
Congradulations on being the type of guys to sport your marriage rings
We're those front and rear side panels custom made? If not who makes them?
I saw Type R and gave it a like.
thats some fast laping in a fwd car. 👍👍👍👍👍
G-Loc are the guys from Carbotech!
Racing with a broken hand...just usual business...
Dude can drive!!.....
Reminds me of the Honda from the start of the first underground game
22k and 18k spring rate that thing stiff 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Why supercharger and not turbo? The lag is that bad?
I mean...it is a type-r...what'd they expect...it's basically a race car from the factory lol.
it's not a type-r it's left hand drive, I don't know why he would say that. but there's nothing entirely special about the type-r when you strip the interior and stuff.

Is that Gingerman raceway?
Dont know how tires can keep the grip , from a fwd it's prety Nice, you should custom a dc2 for Francorchamps or Nordschleife
yeah yeah, what a nice car and guy
just listening to the cars in the background lol
Where to buy these high strength gears?
what's rims on the front and setup?
getting it.
Felt like if he heel toed , he would've been able to brake much later and got a faster time , that car really handles nice tho
Sh
He is heel toeing for the most part, but in the faster corners he'd probably using the drivetrain to help slow the car down to keep the brakes cooler.
I don't think it's that easy
+James Foster and not entirely needed
Damn guys , it's just a tip . Even though I never been on a track , it helps me via engine braking , allowing me to stop faster . Meaning braking later at corners .

It's a DC2 chassis
Owned a DC2 R, sometimes regret selling it. It had no flaws just not perfect as daily
well it has a full cage but other than that, no
what got chopped hard at 8:25? Is that a Radical or something? props!
Yup, Radical on a cooldown lap.
aww cool down lap ... i am disappoint ;-( ;-)
thats an electric power steering pump from MR2 right? the toyota MR2? help anyone.
yellowsparks andy yes it is!
Hey thanks!!
sick.
I didn’t know Jackson racing made centrifugal superchargers???
wow so nice.
Dam! 1:31?! ridiculous!
nice car
wow my itr is so behind the tech.. it makes less than half this car.. i need to do something lol
lol the cameraman
500 isn't alot when im nitrous k24 /k20 at 515hp.. stock k blocks boosted hold up to 550 on stock sleeves. when they turn up the psi with those internals il say about 600hp max. Ktuned race proven
yeah, you run your nitrous car for 25 minutes at a time and see what happens
+Chad W haha yea ur deff right.. my nitrous is by throttle. hondata baby
Sean Kaine way to be completely irronious to my point....
is it for drag tho...? cuz for time attack thats more then enough. mighty mouse crx is fucken murdering you name it ( r32,r33,r34,evo,porche,wrx,silvias,fd) and he's running less then 500. like low mid 400 i think and that Aus course is super open. ppl getting in 6th gear kine. WTAC is the shit!!!!
great car.. come check out willow springs..
is this you guy's main job?
did he call him jeff lol
"Type R bro" 😂
Why does a fwd car has a spoiler? isnt make it worst?

Aero on a fwd car works just like a rwd car.
These in cabin videos are so much better to watch when they’re banging through the gears. Dcts or paddle shifters just arent satisfying time watch. #savethemanuals
Because Race Car.
R performance integra. That's all i'm gonna say.
near to N/A noise
I couldn't hear the whine at all during his run.
It is cylindrical sc, they just make the exhaust note really deep.
centrifugal supercharger. it's the same impeller design as a turbocharger, just belt driven instead of turbine driven. so it basically sounds like a turbo, but with less whistle because there's no wastegate. in a built car like that with no cats, resonators, or mufflers the exhaust noise is so loud it just covers up the noise of the supercharger. they make roots blowers for the k series but usually people go for the centrifugal design because it's easier to cool the charge air (just use an intercooler like in a normal turbocharged setup. no crazy complicated liquid cooling or aftercooler setups).
thumbs up
What about the Swift What about the Swift.......
200hp K series and 1,650lb's!
The sound that thing makes is UNHOLY!
I'd say BYP's Integra from Australia would be faster
22k springs. I thought 12k were stiff haha
hooooooh mah gaaaaaaaaaad wish that was rwd.... (drift fanboi)
she puurrsss
