My DC2 Type R with a K :)

[ITR350]

The car is super sexy! My car doesnt grab traction either up until 4th.. Only in the wet LOL. Keep up the progress shots and keep us updated, heaps awesome

[Jorge]

Haha thanks man

Pretty busy with work ATM so I don't get to spend as much time with it these days. So many plans with so little time. It's becoming a sad story tbh

It grabs a lot better now with the ku36s now. Launch control is still useless though. lol

[freakygeek]

Great build and top quality job you've done with everything! I'd love to experience this level of power in a DC2R.

My experience with launch control was that I used it as a starting point and then modulated the clutch slip to get away quickly. Not the nicest for the clutch, but the technique I found worked best on the fairly average 1/8mi dragstrip (airstrip) we were on.
The window between bogging down and frying the shit out of the tyres is quite small, lol.

[Jorge]

Thanks Man

A lot of time and effort with heaps of cursing went into this build. lol

Respray, Suspension, blue slip before the year ends is on the cards. All the teething problems you get after a swap is all gone now and I just enjoy driving it when I get a chance.

Work is killing me at the moment with early starts and late nights with weekend work aswell. Once a week at best if I get to drive it. Becoming a sad story actually

Launch Control is awesome when you slip a tiny bit and give it about 50-60% throttle on this setup on the street. Gets off the line very well actually. It's set to 4k RPM atm and haven't really played around with it.

And you are bang on the money about that window with frying tyres lol.

I can imagine. It is a credit to you that you persisted with doing it 'right' though, and not cutting corners.

I know that feeling too... but work pays for these projects I guess

Yeah, the K20 would have heaps more midrange torque than my B18C - I set mine to around 5k and probably bounce off it at part throttle too, then just try and maintain the RPM around there while slipping clutch into it. On street tyres I think I could really only get a 2.1 60ft but I could do them over and over again consistently which got me a trophy, haha.

Are you planning to take it drag racing at WSID just to see what it can do?

[Jorge]

Yeah man that is the plan. Definitely want to take it to wsid

Want to do suspension before I do so though. I reckon I will be the same as you on the 60ft time as well. But then again I do have plans to go and do a 3rd gear burnout before I take off. lol. The FD ratio is 5.1 and the end of third gear is only 130kms. Nice and short

Can't wait man. But Wednesday nights and work of course does not make it easy for me at all :s

[Jorge]

My shift linkage landed today and the new revised shifter box is ready to go in aswell.



About time

Looking forward to hearing how you go

I hear there is a red K24 DC2R making a bit of noise in the 11 second range hehe!

5.1FD would be great fun to drive!

The 5.1 came out lol

Mainly because of this.

And also because my pressure plate packed it in. Which means gearbox out :S

So........



My 5.1 swapped out.



4.7 is in.



So here we have a k20z4 gearbox with a k20z1 casing and 4.7 final drive swapped in.

Wasn't that hard lol.





Final product.



This means no more bull shiit z4 interlock and bracket with shifty z3 shifter box setup.

I can now run the same setup as everybody else does on their K Swaps from hybrid racing.

Adrian from SAS is a life Saver

Gearbox back in next week

Skid Vids coming soon haha

[felixR]

Nice update George!

[Lonewolf]

nice, sometimes too short a ratio does have its demerits

[Jorge]

Nice update George!

Thanks mate. Have a few surprise updates coming early next year aswell

nice, sometimes too short a ratio does have its demerits

It is for what I'm going for dude. People forget that the FN2 Type R (which my engine came from) has the 5.1 final drive in it but it also weighs 1350kg and has 18inch wheels standard. Hence why the 5.1 helps the car out a lot.

But with my setup my car 1050kg at best now and I'm on 16inch wheels. All it does is spin. And considering I'm going for more power in the new year it's definitely not going to help the situation. lol

It's not asif the 5.1 FD is going to waste though. Tiana is getting it installed on her car hopefully next week. Lucky girl x

[Jorge]

Bought a few goodies at Jdm yard today.

RRC Mani, drag cartel 2.2's and Supertech Valvetrain kit, toda timing chain tensioner.



Also ordered toda balancer shaft delete kit with fd2r pump.

The supertechs will be getting replaced by toda valve springs because I changed my mind when I got home. lol.

Fun times ahead

[--drew--]

Sexual, so very sexual.
I'm jealous. But so keen to see this thing in action once its all done.

Haha thanks mate. Now that the 5.1fd is out for the 4.7 I'm going for peak power instead of midrange/response. Still love the RSP intake but unfortunately it won't let the cams do their job as good as the RRC. I will lose mid range even with everything I'm changing but I'm pretty sure I won't be complaing when it comes on at the top

The rest of the parts from toda won't be coming till the end of the month. So that gives me time to hone the Mani and paint it in wrinkle black.

Also if anybody is interested... There is a 70mm RSP manifold and my z4 cams for sale.. The Cams are pretty much Z1 cams out of the type S DC5. No difference actually. With the RSP and cams together they made just over 163kw atw with my basic setup really.

PM me if any of you are interested.
