start doing a few DC-5 Teg in my work shop. We got the workshop manual since first they release it but never be bothered reading it till yesterday. Our engine is almost similar to JDM DC-5 except the piston. Camshaft are identical, intake runner are indentical, all up to throttle body. Not sure about valve springs though. Another difference is our suspension is not JDM-R sussy, we dont get the aluminium lower front control arm. Also we had a very restrictive exhaust system, I guess is just to shut everything up for emission control.

Does it still produce the same amount of power as the RSX-S engine? I guess the final output is really all that matters anyway. I heard the car is not raw enough to be any fun and not soft enough to be comfortable. It was ranked 19th in this years PCOTY award.. quite different to the standing of it's previous model hey.

 

it produces same power as RSX, but boy when you open up a very restrictive header, catalyc converter, exhaust and airfilter, this car really really responds very well. I went to Honda track day last weekend had a chance to enjoy the DC5-R on the track, and the car goes very very well, well more than I expected. It has a lot of bodyroll, but boy, this car still has a lot of grip.
