Hi, I'm new here but i have been quietly reading and doing my homework.

I own a JDM DC5 and I'm in the early stages of modifying it. Well this is my latest round of modifications, pic's, blog, video below...

As always, comments, youtube "favorite'ing", "subscribing", facebook "adding", Twitter "Following" and and other social media buzzwords welcome


I took my car down to Fusion Motorsport to swap a couple of parts and get the car KPro'd (ECU Remap). First one was the insane noise produced by the BuddyClub ProSpec, I do love it but its too much for me so I'd managed to get my hands on a second hand Mugen Twinloop system and i'm going to give that a go. Next up was to swap the inlet manifold for an RBC.

Well anyway I made a video about the results and i'd love to hear your thoughts.

Fusion Sponsored the video so if you enjoy the video please support them.



First up, Base power run

Modifications at this stage are:

Stock Intake
Stock Inlet Manifold
Stock Engine
DC Sports Exhaust Manifold
BuddyClub ProSpec, Cat-back



The dyno we were using was Surrey Rolling Road, its literally over the road from Fusion and also its a proven consistent dyno, important for the testing we planned





We managed 214hp on the first run





We went back to the workshop and removed the BuddyClub exhaust





We swapped this with the Mugen Twinloop







We did another powerrun after this and managed only 207hp, a drop of 7hp

So after this we took the car back to the workshop and fitted a new inlet manifold. The RBC, i'd read good things so I was expecting a lot.







Car was now ready for another power run and achieved 213hp, a gain of 6hp and only a drop of 1hp from when we first arrived.



Then Ed at Fusion set to work on the dyno using the freshly installed KPRO.





Low Speed Mapping



Cam Angle mapping



And finally, High speed mapping



Mapping finished and we managed to achieve 227hp using the new more restrictive exhaust.



As I mentioned above there is a video as well,

Intake system is next on the list

 

car needs some cams!
good work though

 

not bad!

 

lol gil what kind! im in the same pickle on what next to do to a R motoR!

 

Haha yeah that would be nice but tbh i think the results arent worth the money I'd have to invest in.

I've decided thats pretty much the end of the road for me as far as engine mods are concerned (yeah right lol - i wonder how long that plan lasts)

I did another video to get some actual comparisons of various performance parts and on the back of that i think the only other bolt on im gonna buy is a decent intake and maybe a free'er flowing cat back. Gonna try the fujitsubo RM-01A Exhaust then do gearbox mods. new 4th/5th/6th is meant to be a really good mod and will net you the best road performance p/£ or $ in your case

Here's the other vid:

Not bad. I put out 227whp and 157wtq in my K20A with RBC/DTR header/2.5 T1R/Intake and Kpro. It only had a base map, no tune.
