N/A Honda Is Best: 220whp DC2 Destroys the Competition on Track

[@WyFoster]

Thanks to Carlos for building an awesome car and letting me thrash it for a weekend! Nice to meet you Larry, come back soon!

[@Beenlonguniveristy]

First too comment on this pretty cool

[@Explofmo]

Every enthusiast should have a sub 300hp lightweight Honda. They are such fun toys

[@SR22VET-S15]

I completely agree. I've always had high power turbo cars mostly Nissan's skylines and silvias and to be honest never ever considered a Honda. By chance I needed a daily driver while I was building the engine for my silvia and bought a jdm spec ep3 type r and instantly fell in love with it. 3 hondas later (k20/24 swapped em1 and also a k20/24 fn2r) safe to say I absolutely love them. So easy to maintain, cheap to run, easy on brakes and tyres, can run lap after lap after lap and keep going, then even be used as a daily driver to work after giving it hell on the weekends. Fantastic engineering and a super eager engine even without boost they're a heap of fun to drive, as you said everyone should atleast try a well built na honda

[@POVShotgun]

@@SR22VET-S15 idk I bought an eg hoping it'd be all that but I still prefer slidey boi

[@SR22VET-S15]

@POVShotgun depends what you do to the eg, k swapped and circuit work or canyon runs it's hard to beat the fun of driving one

[@ElCrab]

I had a 1993 Civic DX coupe with a high compression B18C1, Spoon-balanced JDR ITR pistons, Mugen ECU, which I had mostly gutted. Still had the dash, door cards, but I had taken out the carpet and sound deadening, backseats, carbon fiber hood, del Sol seats. That car was just under 2200 lbs, even with the extra weight from the B series engine/tranny. So much fun, I miss her.

[@MattBowler]

Two of my best friends in HS had GSRs. I had a CRX. Another great friend had a Prelude. Those were the good ol' days. Thanks for the fantastic content! Beautiful, clean car.

[@syygnis]

Solid DC2. Would have been cool to see a ridealong. I miss the ride alongs and drives in these features like back in the Auto Focus days.

[@thedoctormma9433]

At the very least more than 10 seconds of action total.

[@post_historic]

VTEC button was funny. Back in the daymy buddy had a "Boost" label above the AC switch in his civic because turning it off would add noticeable power!

[@sbfhawk4343]

220 HP is the magic number to shoot for on a NA Honda Build B Series ...You got that and you get the suspension you will be killer...

[@Unicornpirate]

This is a K series

[@bunsomite]

Lol

[@racebanning6390]

Sweeet!!🏁🏁🏁I have my DC4 since 2003. Hes 25 now, 355K later, JDM B18B installed, Built GSR 5 speed, Type R brakes and sway bars. Full Urethane suspension &engine mounts. Skunk2 front Upper adjustable arms, Tein 1.5x .75 Progressive spring drop , Type R rearwing & front spoiler. Strut braces front , rear & rear upper. Original Full interior Adriatic Pearl Blue on 16x7 Bronze Mugen MF10 wheels. Hes Family..... Never sell the Integra!!🤙🤙🤙🏁🏁Basically hes a Type LGR Frankenstein. 😁👍

[@sheldonlamey7010]

I have the same engine and transmission set up in a Civic EJ1 coupe I had a wreck in mine in 2012 and I'm just now gonna get it back on the road( life circumstances). It's nice to hear that full B18B engines exist without head swap. 198K on the body not sure how much on the JDM B18B though 10-20K of the 198Kwas after I swapped the JDM D15B VTEC that was in it ( I just gave the full D15B and S20 swap to my friend since he wanted to go 5sp manual on his EJ1)

[@Shaquille796]

You did all that other stuff but still a regular ls motor that’s odd

[@SlingSalsa]

Reminds me of early 2000's at VIR on the weekend and Honda-Tech during the week days

[@johnsimms3693]

Realtime Acura memories hit me when I seen the thumbnail... They use to whoopass in the teggies ...

[@ytmB4HyU4kUq]

My favorite part about this car - the bluetooth tablet for the gauge cluster 😂 That is straight up awesome

[@josephmatuszak3855]

That's a pretty dope build! Good to see ya back on the horse as it were! Looks like a fun driver!

[@lynch42o]

Sick car, i was in HS from 99-03 This, a crx , or the si del sol. You were definitely the man if you had one of those whips. You'd see a Nissan or a Mazda here and there, but the honda's were way more popular. Once F&F came out, everyone wanted to be a street racer.

[@alex0lan]

what a beauty!! I had a GS-R about 10 years ago. My favorite Acura so far.

[@imJGott]

i have a DC2, its a legendary car that honda masterfully built

[@ClodomirGoncalves-m9g]

So RAD!!! 90’s livery is 🔥🔥🔥 the motivation I needed to go work on my project car

[@brandon_buildsDIY]

That TSX in the intro tho!

[@L_RANTA]

that TSX is @RyanBradfieldRacing , it's a beautiful build

[@RyanBradfieldRacing]

@@L_RANTA Appreciate it!

[@ricardovaldes3032]

Can you give the part # of the aero parts?

[@Kowalskithegreat]

Love to see this! Can't wait to get my GS-R tuned this weekend and rip on it. I love the responsiveness it had N/A but wanted to add a lil more power so i tracked down a Jackson Racing supercharger, gonna run it on my existing 11.3:1 compression, big cams, and E85. gonna be fun

[@DailyOwnSupercars]

Beautiful love to see jdm guys building this cars to many of us dream 💭 spec of a real race car

[@djz.p.e.6260]

AWESOME BUILD AND WIN! CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!

[@vongdong10]

Lol I recognise that aliexpress fuel rail

[@RyanBradfieldRacing]

Had a blast chasing this thing around VIR at Hyperfest during the HFGT race. Plenty of of it’s rear end from the in-car of my TSX. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnXXi6h-a8RpZ80si=VqWf694rjD8SWrjA 0:02

[@dheffring]

I am hoping this year Larry can do a feature on your car! One of the coolest cars ran by a great racer!

[@RyanBradfieldRacing]

@ Appreciate it!

[@vectorphresh]

Very clean teggy bro!

[@Mike_44]

I ALWAYS wanted one of these Integra GSRs. Love it!

[@mryang3644]

Them Konig wheels are lookin good

[@willjohnsonjohnson]

For me, this was the last fun car Honda made. Handles great from the factory. It doesn't need a lot of power. Find a winding road and send it.

[@MikeLaRock88]

This car is done so well. The livery reminds me of JACCS Accord and HKS from the 90s

[@alaskanassassin7332]

Ya love to see it, long live the DC2

[@grndzro777]

K24 in that. Lotta torque. no need to downshift coming out of corners.

[@Njderig]

Very true. K24 is great on low end power. And very reliable

[@colinhamilton6493]

Looks good man

[@ARPorganics]

My 9th gen civic coup is bone stock 200hp. The hfp suspension and decals make it look smooth. It's more than enough hp for me.

[@kylem2010GT]

Love seeing Ginetta racing in America.

[@thorvelasco1467]

That red barn, is that VIR?

[@lobuk516]

Yep

[@garage2track]

I agree about the USDM front end

[@gibememoni]

I had a 98 GSR teg that I was able to make it to 188whp, could not imagine 220. Light car, zero turbo lag, hauling ass

[@WaySydeBeats]

Damn i wish i could had met you larry, you're one of my inspirations when it comes to car photography and photography in general. I use to work at VIR and i use to photograph down there and worked at the TMI racing products shop, met Alex Martini from fitmet industries and his buds (dakota and gels) awsome people but whole time i was thinking, what if larry came down to VIR, well all be damn you didn't come to hyperfest in 2023 and i wasn't there for hyperfest in 2024😭😔 hope to meet you one day tho like many other fans

[@adrianmejia4997]

[@brianwhitty3690]

Yes!!! Anyone whats the outro music?!?!?!?!?

[@Chefian23]

I had a homie with a yellow type r back in 2003ish during high school . We had no idea what that thing was worth back then.

[@Njderig]

The yellow Type R was so nice. I think yellow and black were the only two factory color options.

[@jaredrademacher4995]

I remember watching the tuner series on the SPEED network 20 years ago and the integras always won

[@timsmith2952]

That was Realtime Racing.

[@marqsNL]

Awesome to see, Germans get this Integra as a V-Tec only with Acura lamps etc. I remember chasing 1000ccm bikes with a friends DC with 19’ AZEV wheels on a crappy concrete Autobahn in 1999. He sold his Audi TT quattro order and gained a lot on top. He crashed the car twice, Due to massive understeering when the V-tec comes in. Always had that car in @granturismo What a beautiful screaming Honda with 1.9L

[@priztucker]

3:19 What’s that white car in the back to the left?👀

[@Jwebb612]

That would be a Ginetta G56 GTA, super fun cars

[@jamesrosenbalm991]

Like the build,but love my redline on my k20

[@williamstevenson5534]

Why don't u show more of the cars in action. Headline says it but vid doesn't show any. Buzz kill

[@juanrivera8566]

Only the first 7 seconds of the video were what I came to see 🥲

[@steveng6511]

I always wanted to pick up one of the real time cars one day. Loved watching them for years tearing up speed vision world challenge

[@tjabdon606]

Yelp I love them myself. Had a similar event happen to mine but I got to get go on the horse . January this year on my birthday I lost mine . Gonna take the engine and trans etc and put it in my eg coupe. I have a survivor 95 dc2 car that’s a blast to drive .

[@newtonez_47]

Such a nice clean Integra 🤟😎

[@madsupervilian.]

The color way reminds me of Jic-Magic with the purple and orange

[@ericfan1223]

PLEASE! Go feature Kyle and Allen, AKA the Supra Smash Bros taking over Gridlife right now. Its so fun to watch, and it just started! Go supras

[@ice9dragon]

I love all the purple, really nice shade of purple in the interior ❤

[@lobuk516]

Now, im really bummed I didn't make it to HyperFest

[@KSwapTheWorld69]

Weird Livary But It Seems Rad!

[@claybryce]

Maybe I missed it in the video, but what kind of racing is this? Does anyone have any info on it? I've done some local rally type racing, and would love to get into something like this. Thanks!

[@dheffring]

This road course racing with NASA Mid Atlantic. This car is built specifically for ST4 and HFGT. The rule book is pretty clear so it is easy to build for this class with a large amount of platforms to choose from.

[@ac7127]

anyone know what app or software he's using with the tablet? Does it work of OBD2? or?

It's just integral to the Haltech ECU. That live view app Haltech has is all you need.

how much camber does this car runs? I try to go at -3.8 front and -3.5 back on my em1 civic. Is this too much? 🤔

what are those wheels

[@sheldonlamey7010]

Konig but I don't remember what type check on Konig USA website the full name should be on there.

Nothing was "rad" by the late 90s. That word died out by the late eighties, maybe early nineties.

[@marvingrinage5423]

The commentator on here is a little dull. He projects no enthusiasm for racing in my opinion and the special work that went into this car at all. Even He may have a skillet somewhere in racing or mechanics. If that's the case. Perhaps he should have found someone better suited for the interview. .... I m just being real.
