As a fellow UK Spec DC2 owner, I'd like to say excellent choice 👍🏽 Everything you've said about the car is spot on, very well summerised in this video. Yours looks a great example, personally the plans of K swap and ITB's sound perfect, maybe a K24 frank with 300 (+) bhp. That will keep the raw and sharp character alive with added power and torque, and will also suit track driving better. Also I might be biased but I'd keep the UK front end, they're different and not many around anymore.

As a dc2R owner & driver I thought I'd share this with people to see if its just mine or can other owners do this with their Integra Type R? Btw mine is stock - no mods - MY'01. One day i was on KZfaq watching a dc2r review from I think it was - 'Chicago Cars Direct' when the guy mentioned that some manual Hondas have a "friction point" as well as a "take-off point" in their clutch travel. So one day as i pulled away from a green light i did the following, 1) pushed clutch all the way down, 2) pulled 1st into 2nd gear, at about 4000rpm (no need to hit vtec or redline), 3) let the clutch out about 1/4 of the way, 4) tapped the throttle all the way down (very quickly) before releasing, 5) then let the clutch up to about 1/2 way, 6) pushed the throttle pedal all the way down this time and kept it down. I got an unbelievable rush of power that pushed me so hard into my recaro seats, it felt like I was going to break them. It was just an AMAZING rush of power i would say 10X more powerful than what u get from the Vtec cross-over in this car. In fact compared to Vtec, it makes Vtec seem like nothing at all! I dont know if the engineers intended it to do this but i DO know it works & its UNBELIEVABLE!!! Sadly, I've only managed to do it a handful of times (it's hard to do just right, & nowadays I rarely drive my vehicle any more - obviously!) But I've never forgotten what this mad rush of power feels like. Can someone tell me whether it is ok to do this or am I damaging the car? Try this with your dc2R, & then tell me if u experience the same? If so, it's time to let the secret out guys & let its value appreciate even more because this rush of power is unbelievable!

Hmm, if my B series knowledge from over a decade ago is still valid having the VTEC engage so early (3.5K RPM) may actually be a little detrimental to the overall drivability of the car. The reason is that the air coming past the throttle body and into the individual intake runners hasn’t built up enough velocity at the lower RPM to, in laymen terms, flow itself into the cylinder when the valve opens. I guess best analogy I can think of is that with a big cam you’re expecting a large volume of fast air to come flowing in and fill the chamber void, however if it hasn’t built up enough velocity on its own accord when the valve opens then rather than the air having velocity of its own forcing itself in, it ends up being sucked in and therefore less air and less fuel = less bang. However if it was on the “eco” cam the valve doesn’t open quite as much and therefore when air and fuel is squeezed through a narrower gap it builds velocity and will rush into the chamber and end up getting a slightly bigger bang. Don’t think I’ve explained this all that great but if you think of air and fuel molecules like people in a stadium leaving an event via those narrow tunnels then it helps with understanding some of the dynamics at play. Again apologies if I’ve made a hash of explaining but basically raising the VTEC cross over point a bit higher in the rev range, closer to the stock 5.5K will make for more total area under the dyno graph which improves overall drivability in the mid range where you’d normally spend the most time in.
