Hey been floating about here a while thought id post up few pics of my 96 spec DC2 i use as a race car. Had a road DC5 before it and an EK9 before that and a few other Jap monsters as road cars but enjoying this car on track now. Just running a std b18 with close ratio gearbox but am thinking of Kswapping over the winter. Have a build thread on dc2 forum if your interested

Yea think am for going that way lol

The cage was bought from custom cages.
Its a real good item, comes with profiled ends so only requires slight tweaking and is def strong as it goes out to the strut tops on the front too. Well worth it

[TomCTR]

Think I may go that way if I get a full weld in cage

I think k swap is the way to go if you need a lot more power, however I love the sound of revs of teh b18 mate.. I'd serious think of high comp b series build with itbs etc.. Would be awesome and go like stink!

Look at Richie from performance autoworks in his dc2, he's has a h22 and does very well man!

Short video from a competitor's car at race meet i did, am only in it for the about 30 secs!!

[robbyp]

Well haven't really updated much in while on here. Have decided that in search of power to help me out am for kswapping the dc2 so sold the b18 engine and close ratio box, and have the whole interior stripped out again, loom and all. Hopefully get the paint tidied up inside.
So this is how she looks in the meantime:





I need to replace the lca bushes and take PAS steering stuff off rack, split it and grease inside. Give the bay a good clean, get the mounts ready for the kswap mounts so good few bits needing done if i could get my ass in gear.

I have also been stockpiling kswap parts for the last while so starting to get there now!!

Kazz diff & Exedy Clutch





Kswap parts!!

























Also have a k20 engine in bits waiting for new parts to rebuild the bottom end so i know its all sweet and ready for racing!!

Subscribed! Please take loads of pics of the job if you can :bigthumb:

And see the exhaust, I take it you have to buy a whole custom job, or do the likes of Toda etc to k-swap exhaust bits?

Il try my best to take photos, would like them even for myself ha, i know thats a specific k swap mani but not sure about the rest, think you might have to modify the decat and make it a load shorter!!

[Mr Anderson]

So the cat will be line up perfectly to use dc2 b-pipes? Not that it matters in your job I suppose, custom exhausts not a problem.

Looking forward to seeing this move forward mate!

Yea its a K20A2 and box, is there much difference in the ratios in the boxes? Not even sure about flywheel yet, That sounds pretty light that your fitting!!

[Mr Anderson]

FFS have you not finished this yet? Waiting for pics

[pulpmelon_r]

Hybrid racing swap parts ftw

BTW The k20a2 gearbox used in the UK ep3 has the same ratios and final drive as the jdm k20a, sans cast gear type LSD

[Keebsss47]

Hi,

yeh the flywheel in a facelift ep3 is 4.65 but a 3.9 is about as light as you want to go..I had a 4kg one on my b18 and rev matching was nuts! slowed down quick as well

The k20a2 box hasn't got the same ratio as a k20a!!

Same fd ratio but 4 5 6 gears are shorter...

The change from 3rd to 4th noticeable shorter on the k20a box

what shafts are you using? Stage 2?
