DC2R build advice

[DaRKNT]

not really redundant...

one major recent development was the information from the OP that he wants to go circuit driving and can't spell "brakes" properly...

...or use punctuation.

Just buy this, save you time and money.

jdm k20 conversion 15k is that too expensive ??

i want to build the car for circuit driving and yes i agree breaks suspension tyres important

I don't think 15k is too much for a conversion if the quality of the work and parts used is good and that is drive in-drive out. Speaking from experience the costs of a K swap can add up pretty quickly.

In regards to you wanting to use the car for circuit work, you have a very quick car to contend with: Brandon's DC2R built by the BYP boys (benson from BYP posted below you). No doubt you could build a quicker car, but you'd need to find the right people to do it for you and it would cost you a great deal of money. And you'd most likely need to hire a driver to drive it for you until you can build up your skill level on track.

Ive seen k20's with bolt ons run on the dyno and only pull 5 more Kw then what a B18 does on the dyno with bolt ons.

So if 15 G is only for a stock K20 with bolt ons its differently NOT worth it in my opinion. Even with the extra torque figure.

Tom brings up a good point.

You could build the fastest circuit N/A DC2R in the world, but if you can't drive, it's rather pointless. Driver skills makes up a lot of the track time.

Whats with people and dyno numbers? For the sake of it, let me put down some dyno number for you folks

K20 with boltons - 140-145kw at the wheels
B18CR with boltons - 120-130kw at the wheels

The biggest asset of the K-series is the VTC technology and 6 speed gearbox. High 12's passes (k-series) vs high 13's passes (b-series). You do the maths of the difference in time.

Post like that really mis-informed the whole community!

Not that im starting a argument with you. But at HCC NSW dyno day. They highest k20 was from a EP3R and it only pulled 133kw with bolt on and tune.

And ive seen Dc5Rs run anywhere between 13.8 to 14.5 at the runs, with just bolt ons
Granted A k20 in a dc2 would be lighter.

I just think why spend 15G to drop a unopened K20 into your dc2 when you could just, Buy a Dc5R, sell the dc2r and build the Dc5R.

If you want a K20 best bet is to buy the Dc5R Or a old civic. Not a 13G dc2R

[hello]

mate its the powerband. not peak kw.
anyways devil, 15k is not enough for what you want.

[hello]

or what you could do, sell your dc2r and buy a shell to start your project.

sell itr 10k or so plus your 15k, $25k should be enough for a quick dc2r.
buy a shell and build it.

totally viable if you can wrench

I'll say it again...seat time.

No point having the most powerful car if you can't drive it. Get good at driving your car, then spend the money on the serious mods.

I know it doesn't answer the OP's original question but I think the question should be re-thought.

Didn't op say in his other thread that he spun a bearing? Wouldn't that reduce how much he'd get back for the car?

[lDeVillish]

how does spun bearing affect a brand new engine??

If your question is addressed to DaRKNT then the spun bearing does not affect your new engine, nor does he state it will. He just mentions the spun bearing because it will affect the value of your car if you elected to sell it, as per hello's post, and buy a shell to build from.
