The JDM DC5R Brembo conversion thread !

[jj17]

nice work, soo... how much fluid did u end up using?

[jj17]

btw, did you do them yourself or mechanic? im gonna get mine fitted soon but not too sure how much work it is hence how long it would take or cost if done by a mechanic.

mechanic.

we used 2 bottles of RBF600. there are actually quite a lot of work involve with the conversion as few problems popped up lol so yah.

[jj17]

2 bottles.. so tats about 1L as they come in 500mL bottles. ok thanks

what about the length of the conversion? how long did it take the guy.><

[m0nty]

Leon, did you flush the whole system? 2 bottles seems a bit light on. I used 4 when doing mine and flushed all lines thoroughly.

I wouldn't know about DC2 stock 16"
but I run my DC5R Brembo + S2000 300mm rotors under 16*8 ET38 with plenty of clearance

sam, would that be because you use js racing calipers and they hold more brake fluid?

Well i used 2 bottles to clean out the calipers + hoses, another bottle to fill it up. So that's 3 bottles all up i guess

[jj17]

yea... i was told today by the mechanic that around 1-1.5 litres so 3 bottles to be safe. anyways thanks tiu.

gonna try out some billion dot 4 fluids. wet boiling points at 200 and was half the price of motul rbf600. Hopefully it wont fail me =/

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but where would I be able to purchase a JDM DC5R 05-06 prop valve from?
Obviously if anyone has an 05-06 JDM DC5R half cut that would be great :P

[plAythiNG]

maybe first confirm the part number. and search for it all over the world?

Japan/ America/ UK.

[npcan2]

I have a part number from researching (46210-S5A-812), and apparently it's the same as the USDM 03-07 accord and USDM 03-05 civic si. I just don't trust what the people on the interwebz say.

Next up, 05-06 JDM brake booster part number!

[npcan2]

Ok, so I have a new plan to get hard facts about which brake components are different between the facelift 04-06 JDM DC5R the pre-facelift 01-03 AUDM DC5R.
I have a Facelift 05-06 JDM DC5R VIN number (DC5-2301006).
With this, I have asked my local Honda spare parts centre to get the part numbers for the JDM DC5R 05-06 Brake master cylinder, brake booster and proportioning valve from Honda Japan.
I will compare this to the part numbers from my 03 AUDM DC5R.

I will post the results when I have them
