Was the Integra Type-R the Last Great N/A Legend from Honda? | DC2 x DC5

[@mrsae2]

Owned a DC2R and while I do like the look of a DC5 and yes a K20 is simply a better stock engine....I am sorry the Vtec Crossover on a B18c is music to the ears not to mention how they sound up at redline.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

There is something that smacks you in the face a bit more when B18 hits that crossover.. it's true.

[@seansimmons5071]

Yeah I love the B18 stock, but a tuned K20 is a beast. I loved my Dc2, liked my Dc5 and loved my Fd2 tuned.

[@Dc5Bullet]

Nahh trippin.. k20 VTEC crossover is way louder and defined, at least it is on both my RSX Type-S's

[@0222tomi]

B series is still the top choice because of the intake sound.

[@packzz3954]

Lol nah the kseries crossover is definitely louder on the type s/r

[@zodiac8786]

Dc2 will always be my favorite.

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

I used to really dislike the dc5 chassis. I owned a few gsr’s in my 20’s. Two that were b18c5 swapped and one with a full jdm front clip swap. I was die hard dc2 until I drove a bolt on dc5r in Florida for a week on trip. It was love at first drive. With a full ohlins coil over setup on spoon wheels, a mild cam with springs, retainers and port and polishing, this thing sang to 9k and the added torque was a much appreciated addition. With only 250-ish hp, it was a backroad beast.

[@0222tomi]

Now imagine 250hp dc2r

[@robsenb16]

@@0222tomi In my country the DC2 is 1200kg and the DC5 1080kg stock.

[@dont_hit_trees]

I had a DC5 with Ohlins as well. (And older Hondas to compare) It was pretty much perfect for a street setup.

[@seansimmons5071]

Dc2 and Dc5 are race cars for the street, engine, chassis, gearbox, brakes, seats, etc, you just can't get anything like this unless you go Gt3 Porsche and crazy money...

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Personally I like the look of the DC5 more. But never driven a Type R model. 😢😢😢 I would like to experience one of these DC5 - R models one day. Anybody got stories to share of both platforms?

Wish Honda would bring back their old high revving screamers 😢

[@losdc5185]

I own both a 02 Integra Type S k24 turbo and a 2000 Integra DB7 and I love them. 2 totally different driving experiences to say the least but I love the simplicity and reliability of them. Great great cars!

[@natsunakusunagi9214]

i love my 05 DC5 Type S. i yearn for a type R some day

[@ericship111]

I used to own a DC5R....it just doesn't compare to the DC2R....it's so much more nimble & more fun to drive....I do believe the DC2R is lighter than the DC5R but the thing that makes the K20A special is that the engine itself is lighter than than B18C despite the increase in displacement.

[@4bangermafia]

but yet the DC5R beat the DC2 in every aspect in track test. Maybe your DC2 was a factory freak

[@kotarojujo2737]

@@4bangermafia i think dc2r is bit more raw, but everything else dc5r are miles better

[@RoadsUntraveled]

I was kind of blown away by the DC5, simply how much further ahead it is than the RSX Type-S. It's a different league. The car just feels solid and nimble, you said it right.

[@_Zekken]

@@4bangermafiaI am a current DC2R owner. DC5R is absolutely faster, Ive only driven a DC5 type S (the JDM spec Integra, not the RSX) so I havent got a perfect comparison to a DC5R, but I think its the rawness of the driving feel that makes the DC2 so revered, rather than the outright performance.

[@ampedex]

Driven and thrashed both to bits, yeah dc5 stock for stock is faster but it sure doesn't have the same feeling or emotion as the dc2r

the dc2 is the better chasis but the dc5 is the better engine dc2's sound iconic, but the dc5 can sound unique with the k24 frank setups ideally, both; if you can only get one, get the one you can since theyre becoming more and more rare to find in decent condition

How is Honda able to do this? Because that’s what Honda does 😎

[@willtee3640]

Honda really need to revive the Integra type R

[@sl33per1]

When the RSX came out, I did a direct comparison with my DC2. The RSX was longer, taller, and narrower. The car was not as fun to drive as the DC2. The engine/trans do have more potential, but it's definitely not as rewarding to drive as the DC2 in stock form.

great video , on point 👍 i hope the new 2023 integra type s/r comes with 2 doors , lsd , and a 6 speed manual, good old recaros and get rid of sat nav and dual climate suff and..... ,. would be nice hopefully it happens

[@RoadsUntraveled]

This is exactly what I said in my 2023 Integra review.. New Civic Type-R engine with all of the above you mentioned.. would be lovely.

[@oscarkabowski8413]

Dc5 owner here and I have to admit, the Dc2 is a better chassis. But, the Dc5's K20A is leaps and bounds ahead of the B18C. Not to say I don't love the sound of the B series' crossover into Vtec, but I prefer the K20. Dc5 with a few simple mods is a far better car, I'd only get a Dc2 to dump a K24 into it. Looks wise I think both look incredible for their time but the Dc5 still looks very modern to me. Peace!

[@TProfileG]

Ep3 civic is just as much fun. Fn2 same. If it's type R it's fun.

[@greddy_v2]

Neither of those compare to a DC2/DC5.

[@9kalltheway]

I own a 92 civic eg with the B18C. All original Cali car too. I wouldn't trade this beauty for the world. K motors will always be king. No doubt. But the B series is what made Honda performing cars today. And nothing beats revving to 9K. 9KALLTHEWAY!

Yea right

[@AcuraLvR82]

The 05-06 rsx-s is the closest to the type R variant. The k20z1 shares most its parts with the K20a-R aside from compression differences. The Type R also had factory tune for 100+ octane gas. One of my goals is to install the Type R suspension brembos and wheels on my 06 type s.

[@duddy2209]

RSX isn't even close to a Type R, keep dreaming

[@BossItUp911]

​@@duddy2209 It's really a matter of opinion. The drivetrains are extremely close, separated primarily by an LSD and $300 Hondata reflash (there is an insignificant 10HP difference stock as it is). ~220 pounds of weight separation with lots of subtle changes. What's not close would be a Tesla Plaid which would murder both of these econoboxes.

Tested drive this 2 bad boys, DC5: Great power, higher torque, but handling, balance, cornering wise wasn’t so good UNLESS you invest lots of money in it. DC2: B series VTEC kick a lot stronger than K series, power of course not as good as DC5 but still pretty competitive. Handling, balance and cornering better than DC5.

[@4bangermafia]

The reason the DC2 vtec pops louder is actually a bad reason; because of the difference in cam profile. The K20 being a better engine with more tq because its not as weak as the B18 outside of VTEC. The VTEC pop is a nice sound but it actually is not desired if you want your engine to make the most power it can. As it gets tuned properly for power that VTEC pop shouldn't be as audible; you want a smooth transition to VTEC.

Nobody in the import scene stateside rocked with the RSX when it came out. Too expensive to buy, no aftermarket support, and the aftermarket parts available carried a huge premium due to the fact the car came from Honda's luxury brand Acura.
