As a fellow UK Spec DC2 owner, I'd like to say excellent choice 👍🏽 Everything you've said about the car is spot on, very well summerised in this video. Yours looks a great example, personally the plans of K swap and ITB's sound perfect, maybe a K24 frank with 300 (+) bhp. That will keep the raw and sharp character alive with added power and torque, and will also suit track driving better. Also I might be biased but I'd keep the UK front end, they're different and not many around anymore.
It's easy to see now how these things became so legendary. Must have been quite a car back in the day. Your content is starting to convert me. Think I could finally be a Honda guy
To this day it's a benchmark in terms of fwd chassis balance and handling, especially when properly built. It's light and modern enough (independent rear suspension). Sky is the limit..
@@MyRealName Yep and critically double wishbone suspension up front which is the secret sauce that makes the 90s Hondas so good at putting power down and in corners.
Had a DC2 JDM 96 spec for years, how incredible that B18 was. Would love to see a B Series build, K swaps are too common imo. Do the right thing Jamie 😄 keep the B Series alive 🤟🏻
Thats the beauty with the older Hondas, You can have loads of fun without needing 600+hp and triple figure speeds, surely thats the goal, 1000hp cars can't really be enjoyed properly on the roads. I thought you would get around that time 0-60 as my B20 EF Civic can manage a 5.3 second and pretty sure it has a 5.2 in it
Youd get 240/250hp out of the b18c n/a, 350 plus supercharged. Id honestly keep the B series, everyones gone K now and very soon youll struggle to find another B series. For an engine designed in the late 80s theyre still competetive 🚦
I just thinking the same, the most people go K-series and i get that but they don't know that serious records made by B-series (turbo) and it keep the car in it's originial power plant. I have myself a civic EK4 with a B16A2, 197Bhp with 9300rpm, the sound of it is so different that the new cars. I want to see more B-series builds then all the K-stuff, the Boosted boiz do allready the sick K-series builds.
Nahhh it's not necessary... it's about the feeling, not the fastest but the coolest and funniest to drive ... it's a car to treasure. Had mine since 2005. Have had others for daily drive but driving the integra it's special indeed
Even the K20 engine on the ep3/dc5 with bolts ons NA make up to 250-260 which doesn't sound a lot but it would surprise many cars on a roll how quick they are.
250-260whp in a light weight Honda is a shit load of power! It’s enough to beat 392 scat packs, Camaros, mustangs, bmw’s…I am currently building a ej1 coupe that’s semi gutted and getting a fully built high compression k24/20 engine that should make over 300+whp and should be enough to beat on stock hellcats
@@petrolhead8851those are my plans as well except mine is a 98’ Civic EX AT I fucking hate the automatic I’m planing to do a manual swap but let me know if it’s worth doing the swap or should I just buy a manual civic and do the K swap, then? So I don’t have to bother with swapping out the trans, etc
@@Underliner07 if it’s a clean unmolested shell use the automatic shell because all the manual shells are beat up or have been in accidents or are cut up or something, and automatic shell is perfect if it’s already a clean example. All you have to do is get the clutch pedal, and everything that connects to the clutch, it’s not that hard just time consuming, and when you do it make sure you do it by taking out the driver seat, it’ll make things much easier
I’ve got a dc5 that allegedly makes 187hp at the wheels, and it’ll get in front of xr6 turbos and ss commodores of the same time period, it’s insane how much you can do with such little power
I’d be proud too 😢, if I had one. I remember when they came out, Tiffany Dell test drove one on Top Gear, pretty much said it was the best handling and most fun FWD car ever.
I would keep the b series and keep it n/a just because it’s a rare type r and it’s history. I’d get a beater dc2 or a pretty clean one and do the k swap on that because I wouldn’t care as much about it’s value and beating on it. What would you guys do?
I have had mine since 2005 and has been NA Nitro and Turbo .. for maintenance cost NA and Nitro it's the way. You use it and if you "need" more punch .... nitro😅 but doesn't need it. The joy of driving it is all I need.
The DC2 ITR is the greatest front drive N/A car ever produced. The peak of the N/A VTEC era! This dude's reaction is exactly what Ive seen from many others who had the chance to experience an ITR. Even those who have owned high HP cars.
Jamie, you’ll have more fun in that car if you leave it as it is. More power isn’t always a good thing. Turbo it and you’ll not want or need to use all the revs. Besides, you already have the monster DC5 🤷
I personally owned the official top trumps card Integra type r. The car used for the photo. I loved it and it wasn't hard too see why people hold them in high regard. Jamie..... appreciate it for what it is. It's not got 1000bhp but if you drive it right it will reward you in ways you can't imagine.
Nice. My DC2 build is just beginning also. I’ll be staying NA B series with bolts ons and a map, then focusing on handling. My Honed Developments package came yesterday all the way from Australia. Forged wheels from Ireland. Now I’m waiting for Black Friday lol
I had a 99 Integra SIR years ago that kicked in at 4,500 rpm - it was fairly quick. Think it was also just up over 200 BHP. My 96 type r though, kicks in at 5,500, but the turbo kicks in at 3,500 😂
Dc2’s are so nice man I’m so glad you got this one Jamie. Keen as hell to see what treatment it gets. Also +1 for the euro spec headlights. Way rather them over the rectangle ones that make them look like an s14
Thankyou Jamie for taking me back 20yrs into my youth at the illegal drags! God I miss those days, I’ll never be able to experience it again, but we have Jamie now to take us there in our minds and in our hearts ❤️ thanks OG for everything you bring us car enthusiasts 👊🏻
Went to many in the Yorkshire area mainly to race my RS250 against some of the Nova GTEs and BMWs.. Man those were some great times. Even popping off to the illegal cruises seeing fast car and max power taking pics etc.
I absolutely love this car ... they be pretty expensive over here in Australia. Was so nice to see it move off the line as quick as an E46 M3. Cheers again Jamie
I had a 2nd Gen GSR way back in the day… like 17years ago back in the day 😅( jdm front clip ) all motor bunch of stuff done to it. Made 212 at the wheel and it whooped ARSE on the street’s …Chirp 1/2/3 fadayyyyssss🤣🤣🤘🏼🤘🏼
Mate had black 99uk early 2000s , spoon parts to death 230bhp, handled like on rails , tin can panels , loads of road/motorsport noise , good fun great on track
Omfg the man went and got my fav all time car. Im jealous af! Mine was totalled because of an old fart who shouldnt have been on the road. Now the 10k i paid for a 2000 type r is triple or quad the price
Nice video You should of got a Honda CRX…: Your viewings would of gone crazy… THE INTEGRAS HAVE ALREADY HAD THE GLORY BRO… I send a photo of my mates one he had when you personally reply 💯
Bringing back so many memories from the early 2000s when I had a DC2 type R, such a fun car to drive, can’t wait to see the progress with this beast Jamie.
Love the DC2! Made the mistake of not buying one of these years ago! Bought a r26 megane instead 😵🤦🏻♂️ Would love to see a lively N/A k-swap build though be a nice change from the usual turbo stuff 👌🏻
Proper sick car, love old school cars, these are cars that you really feel like you're driving and can feel everything that's going on. It's not about bhp, it's about the experience and drama you feel when driving them.
Had one of these (UK model) for 16 years as a daily driver. Was a great car but the rust was the thing which destroyed it. Mine was standard but I used to love the engine noise.
Lets gooo, excited to see you Kswap this Dc2 and hyped to see the progression of this build. It would be awesome to see a K20 build, a set of Toda Itbs and their entire catalogue like their stroker kit and cams would be epic to see as it isnt very well documented and hard to find much info on the gains ect on their parts. Keeps the Jdm/track car theme of the dc2.
Fantastic car You can't beat induction noise especially at that rpm It puts the power down so sweet Those guys at Honda made fantastic cars back then proper anolog and fantastic to drive so exciting. Modern day cars are fast as fu#: but you don't get the same drive
Your first reaction about the car made me a bit angry, but after driving it moved that feeling away. 90's cars and older are indeed cars where you feel the car and the sound is just better then the new cars. I hope you keep the B-series in it, almost every one goes K-series but they don't know that serious records made by B-series.
Love it! To do it justice leave alone (i know you wont!) but please keep NA 10K+ Revs, ITB's, new fuel and ECU systems & tune, strip out and weight savings, top tyres and maybe new LSD, 6 speed box. Make all the good things about it even better! With front wheel drive not much point in any more power, get a S2000 one day for RWD project.
Shout out from New zealand bro your the man. I've been watching your vids since day one. The energy when u drive and your passion for jdm cars is entertaining. as a Honda fan dc2r is my holy grail. good pick.👌
Cmooooon bro, whats up with that 1 video a week shizzle? You have so so so much to update the community on, yet you just post 1 video & 1 battlegrounds drag/roll a week. Really missing the content bro! 💪🏼🙏🏼
Definitely stay NA - so many other cars you could turbo but this one is best kept au natural. K24 with ITB's can make 285Nm and 300hp which is more than enough for this lightweight machine.
Come on Jamie, I've just bought myself a K20/K24 FN2 after not having an NA car for a while so I can relate to this video hardddd, I know the DC2 is a B-Series so slightly different characteristics but VTEC nonetheless ;)
You already have a forced induction k series. I would rather see a maxed out all motor N/A build and show what they can do. You can play and explore different fuels like ethanol and nitromethane mix 😉
Hmm, if my B series knowledge from over a decade ago is still valid having the VTEC engage so early (3.5K RPM) may actually be a little detrimental to the overall drivability of the car. The reason is that the air coming past the throttle body and into the individual intake runners hasn’t built up enough velocity at the lower RPM to, in laymen terms, flow itself into the cylinder when the valve opens. I guess best analogy I can think of is that with a big cam you’re expecting a large volume of fast air to come flowing in and fill the chamber void, however if it hasn’t built up enough velocity on its own accord when the valve opens then rather than the air having velocity of its own forcing itself in, it ends up being sucked in and therefore less air and less fuel = less bang. However if it was on the “eco” cam the valve doesn’t open quite as much and therefore when air and fuel is squeezed through a narrower gap it builds velocity and will rush into the chamber and end up getting a slightly bigger bang. Don’t think I’ve explained this all that great but if you think of air and fuel molecules like people in a stadium leaving an event via those narrow tunnels then it helps with understanding some of the dynamics at play. Again apologies if I’ve made a hash of explaining but basically raising the VTEC cross over point a bit higher in the rev range, closer to the stock 5.5K will make for more total area under the dyno graph which improves overall drivability in the mid range where you’d normally spend the most time in.
As a dc2R owner & driver I thought I'd share this with people to see if its just mine or can other owners do this with their Integra Type R? Btw mine is stock - no mods - MY'01. One day i was on TH-cam watching a dc2r review from I think it was - 'Chicago Cars Direct' when the guy mentioned that some manual Hondas have a "friction point" as well as a "take-off point" in their clutch travel. So one day as i pulled away from a green light i did the following, 1) pushed clutch all the way down, 2) pulled 1st into 2nd gear, at about 4000rpm (no need to hit vtec or redline), 3) let the clutch out about 1/4 of the way, 4) tapped the throttle all the way down (very quickly) before releasing, 5) then let the clutch up to about 1/2 way, 6) pushed the throttle pedal all the way down this time and kept it down. I got an unbelievable rush of power that pushed me so hard into my recaro seats, it felt like I was going to break them. It was just an AMAZING rush of power i would say 10X more powerful than what u get from the Vtec cross-over in this car. In fact compared to Vtec, it makes Vtec seem like nothing at all! I dont know if the engineers intended it to do this but i DO know it works & its UNBELIEVABLE!!! Sadly, I've only managed to do it a handful of times (it's hard to do just right, & nowadays I rarely drive my vehicle any more - obviously!) But I've never forgotten what this mad rush of power feels like. Can someone tell me whether it is ok to do this or am I damaging the car? Try this with your dc2R, & then tell me if u experience the same? If so, it's time to let the secret out guys & let its value appreciate even more because this rush of power is unbelievable!
I think you should reconsider thebk swap for now make a awd b series you get the real potential there but you already have your plans I will continue to watch and subscribe keep up the excellent work 👍🏾
Please keep the B series and tune it please, they really come alive. I personally think they can put the power down as well as a k series. The sound and the raw unrefined goodness of the b series is second to none.
Jamie you should have the best of both worlds and keep it B series as long as you can. The beauty of your situation is you have some many options/avenues to go. Maybe keep both engine types on hand for the hell of it so you can have the car set up for any type of duty you want. 😆
I must say she looks clean also I do love a old school honda ,there's just something about them and there definitely a driver's car ,can't wait to see what you do with her Jamie 👊😁🔥
Welcome to the Honda family. I swear all their cars gear grind and lock out more than their competitors. It’s very common. In a new car I’d blame the fluid not being warm or a weaker blend, but on an old car I might wonder if there’s damage done. In all seems like you’ve got a wonderful car and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it cheesing ear to ear the whole time.
Wow my boooooyiiiii that's what Honda does buddy normally V-TEC kicks at 5000-5500RPM but with a tune V-TEC AT 4500RPM and let it run till maxed tuned RPM . MY 1600 V-TEC with SKUNK stage two cams, lightend flywheel , dictator management. And free-flow gets close to 195 HP . AND IT SCREEMS AND POPS LIKE POPCORN MACHINE CROSSED WITH A WAR SIREN HAPPY HAPPY DAYS
Would have this over any boring EV box. Cars like this need to be treasured because they are not coming back :(

Everything you've said about the car is spot on, very well summerised in this video.
Yours looks a great example, personally the plans of K swap and ITB's sound perfect, maybe a K24 frank with 300 (+) bhp.
That will keep the raw and sharp character alive with added power and torque, and will also suit track driving better.

Looks like a lot more fun then a 400 bhp modern car to me 😉👍
It actually is since the connection to the road is more raw the vibration make it feel extremely rowdy!
You already own a turbo K in the DC5. Build a proper all motor B-series!

It seems and sounds a lot more than 215BHP from here 😂
Happy days!! 👍 The car sounds awesome reving the nuts of it 😂 imo perfect b road bashing car keeping it nailed all the time 😍
standard rpm vtec engagement is 5800
I love these lower power cars, it takes so much more skill to get the best out of them,
Yeah , the best FWD car of all time. Light and high revving. You need a white EP3 JDM to match.
Its not about having big power but about fun factor.
Your first reaction about the car made me a bit angry, but after driving it moved that feeling away.
90's cars and older are indeed cars where you feel the car and the sound is just better then the new cars.
I hope you keep the B-series in it, almost every one goes K-series but they don't know that serious records made by B-series.
When I do get one I’m keeping the B series and just tweak the handling of the car 💪🏽
Please please do not boost it , a Full N/A build would be crazy
that honda giving sum sounds💆♂️ always liked an Integra.. still think you have time for an 2jz v vr6 upload I'd appreciate it
That cars rapid,u gonna easily become top spot after your tuning...5.5 😮 only 215bhp 🔥🔥🔥
Plenty fast enough for UK roads considering the amount of places you can actually drive hard without getting in trouble with the law I reckon.
Love it! To do it justice leave alone (i know you wont!) but please keep NA 10K+ Revs, ITB's, new fuel and ECU systems & tune, strip out and weight savings, top tyres and maybe new LSD, 6 speed box. Make all the good things about it even better! With front wheel drive not much point in any more power, get a S2000 one day for RWD project.
The VTEC is a brilliant screemer of an engine
Shout out from New zealand bro your the man. I've been watching your vids since day one. The energy when u drive and your passion for jdm cars is entertaining. as a Honda fan dc2r is my holy grail. good pick.👌
Cmooooon bro, whats up with that 1 video a week shizzle? You have so so so much to update the community on, yet you just post 1 video & 1 battlegrounds drag/roll a week. Really missing the content bro! 💪🏼🙏🏼
Called having a baby..
@@officially_gassed i know all about that.. i am also a first time father since february! Congrats bro! Hope the baby is all healthy 🙏🏼🍀
Definitely stay NA - so many other cars you could turbo but this one is best kept au natural. K24 with ITB's can make 285Nm and 300hp which is more than enough for this lightweight machine.
Come on Jamie, I've just bought myself a K20/K24 FN2 after not having an NA car for a while so I can relate to this video hardddd, I know the DC2 is a B-Series so slightly different characteristics but VTEC nonetheless ;)
You already have a forced induction k series. I would rather see a maxed out all motor N/A build and show what they can do. You can play and explore different fuels like ethanol and nitromethane mix 😉
Hmm, if my B series knowledge from over a decade ago is still valid having the VTEC engage so early (3.5K RPM) may actually be a little detrimental to the overall drivability of the car. The reason is that the air coming past the throttle body and into the individual intake runners hasn’t built up enough velocity at the lower RPM to, in laymen terms, flow itself into the cylinder when the valve opens. I guess best analogy I can think of is that with a big cam you’re expecting a large volume of fast air to come flowing in and fill the chamber void, however if it hasn’t built up enough velocity on its own accord when the valve opens then rather than the air having velocity of its own forcing itself in, it ends up being sucked in and therefore less air and less fuel = less bang. However if it was on the “eco” cam the valve doesn’t open quite as much and therefore when air and fuel is squeezed through a narrower gap it builds velocity and will rush into the chamber and end up getting a slightly bigger bang. Don’t think I’ve explained this all that great but if you think of air and fuel molecules like people in a stadium leaving an event via those narrow tunnels then it helps with understanding some of the dynamics at play. Again apologies if I’ve made a hash of explaining but basically raising the VTEC cross over point a bit higher in the rev range, closer to the stock 5.5K will make for more total area under the dyno graph which improves overall drivability in the mid range where you’d normally spend the most time in.
I love it bro! Real world drivers car. I like seeing cars that a lot of us could actually afford and their potential! 💯 gang gang!
As a dc2R owner & driver I thought I'd share this with people to see if its just mine or can other owners do this with their Integra Type R? Btw mine is stock - no mods - MY'01.
One day i was on TH-cam watching a dc2r review from I think it was - 'Chicago Cars Direct' when the guy mentioned that some manual Hondas have a "friction point" as well as a "take-off point" in their clutch travel. So one day as i pulled away from a green light i did the following,
1) pushed clutch all the way down,
2) pulled 1st into 2nd gear, at about 4000rpm (no need to hit vtec or redline),
3) let the clutch out about 1/4 of the way,
4) tapped the throttle all the way down (very quickly) before releasing,
5) then let the clutch up to about 1/2 way,
6) pushed the throttle pedal all the way down this time and kept it down.
I got an unbelievable rush of power that pushed me so hard into my recaro seats, it felt like I was going to break them. It was just an AMAZING rush of power i would say 10X more powerful than what u get from the Vtec cross-over in this car. In fact compared to Vtec, it makes Vtec seem like nothing at all!
I dont know if the engineers intended it to do this but i DO know it works & its UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Sadly, I've only managed to do it a handful of times (it's hard to do just right, & nowadays I rarely drive my vehicle any more - obviously!) But I've never forgotten what this mad rush of power feels like. Can someone tell me whether it is ok to do this or am I damaging the car?
Try this with your dc2R, & then tell me if u experience the same? If so, it's time to let the secret out guys & let its value appreciate even more because this rush of power is unbelievable!
I think you should reconsider thebk swap for now make a awd b series you get the real potential there but you already have your plans I will continue to watch and subscribe keep up the excellent work 👍🏾
Please keep the B series and tune it please, they really come alive. I personally think they can put the power down as well as a k series. The sound and the raw unrefined goodness of the b series is second to none.
Just listen to the sound of that car, that's pure joy mate.
Dude!!! Keep it as is. Its just perfect. Enjoy every second of that B series fury
Jamie you should have the best of both worlds and keep it B series as long as you can. The beauty of your situation is you have some many options/avenues to go. Maybe keep both engine types on hand for the hell of it so you can have the car set up for any type of duty you want. 😆
I must say she looks clean also I do love a old school honda ,there's just something about them and there definitely a driver's car ,can't wait to see what you do with her Jamie 👊😁🔥
Welcome to the Honda family. I swear all their cars gear grind and lock out more than their competitors. It’s very common. In a new car I’d blame the fluid not being warm or a weaker blend, but on an old car I might wonder if there’s damage done. In all seems like you’ve got a wonderful car and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it cheesing ear to ear the whole time.
Wow my boooooyiiiii that's what Honda does buddy normally V-TEC kicks at 5000-5500RPM but with a tune V-TEC AT 4500RPM and let it run till maxed tuned RPM .
MY 1600 V-TEC with SKUNK stage two cams, lightend flywheel , dictator management. And free-flow gets close to 195 HP .
AND IT SCREEMS AND POPS LIKE POPCORN MACHINE CROSSED WITH A WAR SIREN
HAPPY HAPPY DAYS
Sounds more like a motorbike than a car! Epic!!
