JDM DC2R K-Swap Project Car

[eLtrix]

Hey guys!

So recently I've purchased a 98**' JDM DC2R Rolling Shell as a project car! With it, I plan to chuck in a K24!
This is definitely going to be a long build as I'm pretty much starting from complete scratch as the shell was pretty damn bare. Will be working on it every now and then on the weekend and hopefully get it "complete" by the end of the year or early next year the very latest. At this this it's just a project car with no real intentions but for fun (will probably end up as a dedicated track car by the time I'm done with it).

It's been pretty crazy reading all the information that's out there regarding the k-swap. Bit confusing really with some conflicting information so hopefully I'll get to clear it up with the help of you guys on the forum! As it stands right now, feeling pretty overwhelmed with the amount of work that needs to be done and figuring out what every bits and pieces I'll need to get it working right the way I want it without blowing the budget. Will hopefully be keeping the engine stock as a rock could be.

I'll post some pics up tonight of the shell!

That would be great! Will definitely be harrassing you for help then! At this stage though the only thing thats really doing my head in is the wiring. I want to use the oem k20a2 harness with an aftermarket conversion harness such as hybrid racing or k-tuned but I'm trying to figure out what the conversion harness plugs into and is there any other work on top of the conversion harness!

Good luck with the build man.

Have you tracked the DC5 before?

Thanks for the wishes! Will definitely be needing it. As for track, I've never been even with the DC5. Every time I've had the chance to something always come up and I don't get to go. I'm in no real rush to hit track but I do want to do a project car because I enjoy working on the car especially with mates and with the DC5 where I am right now with it there's just nothing I want to do but track with it!

As for the build... Here are some pics up! When I got it, we put it up on stands and gave it a good clean and began to remove the shocks, lcas and brakes. While underneath we found that the hard lines for the rear brakes were bent so we have to replace those too now!







I put in a spare OEM Type-R front strut I found lying around to make it... RACE CAR!!

Did my wiring my self to the hybrid and Hasport instructions suck!
