Would have this over any boring EV box. Cars like this need to be treasured because they are not coming back :(

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.

It's easy to see now how these things became so legendary. Must have been quite a car back in the day. Your content is starting to convert me. Think I could finally be a Honda guy

Had a DC2 JDM 96 spec for years, how incredible that B18 was. Would love to see a B Series build, K swaps are too common imo. Do the right thing Jamie 😄 keep the B Series alive 🤟🏻

Looks like a lot more fun then a 400 bhp modern car to me 😉👍

Yes Jamie! Honda's are definitely for drivers who like to change gear 😎😎😎👍👍👍 FULL SEND but keep it N/A

Thats the beauty with the older Hondas, You can have loads of fun without needing 600+hp and triple figure speeds, surely thats the goal, 1000hp cars can't really be enjoyed properly on the roads. I thought you would get around that time 0-60 as my B20 EF Civic can manage a 5.3 second and pretty sure it has a 5.2 in it

You already own a turbo K in the DC5. Build a proper all motor B-series!

Youd get 240/250hp out of the b18c n/a, 350 plus supercharged. Id honestly keep the B series, everyones gone K now and very soon youll struggle to find another B series. For an engine designed in the late 80s theyre still competetive 🚦

Never get bored of the sound or the revs amazing machines

One of the purest cars for drivers ever created. Please don't mess with it much. Keep it as it is and just enjoy it.

11:38 Perfect Launch!!! Always will love old Hondas and VTEC kicks

Would love to see this DC2 taken to an extreme NA level of tuning

Definitely prefer these integras but love them both and in white and black again 👌

Thankyou Jamie for taking me back 20yrs into my youth at the illegal drags! God I miss those days, I’ll never be able to experience it again, but we have Jamie now to take us there in our minds and in our hearts ❤️ thanks OG for everything you bring us car enthusiasts 👊🏻

Got a 244hp n/a b18c6 myself, a real blast to drive!

Mate had black 99uk early 2000s , spoon parts to death 230bhp, handled like on rails , tin can panels , loads of road/motorsport noise , good fun great on track

That induction noise is bringing back some memories

I'm a proud owner of stock dc2 myself. Vtec crossover is at 6000rpm from factory.

Even the K20 engine on the ep3/dc5 with bolts ons NA make up to 250-260 which doesn't sound a lot but it would surprise many cars on a roll how quick they are.

make the most power NA, go for a track build maybe ? want to see officially gassed on track

I personally owned the official top trumps card Integra type r. The car used for the photo. I loved it and it wasn't hard too see why people hold them in high regard. Jamie..... appreciate it for what it is. It's not got 1000bhp but if you drive it right it will reward you in ways you can't imagine.

The DC2 ITR is the greatest front drive N/A car ever produced. The peak of the N/A VTEC era! This dude's reaction is exactly what Ive seen from many others who had the chance to experience an ITR. Even those who have owned high HP cars.

Nice. My DC2 build is just beginning also. I’ll be staying NA B series with bolts ons and a map, then focusing on handling. My Honed Developments package came yesterday all the way from Australia. Forged wheels from Ireland. Now I’m waiting for Black Friday lol

Bringing back so many memories from the early 2000s when I had a DC2 type R, such a fun car to drive, can’t wait to see the progress with this beast Jamie.

The tunnel flyby was ridiculous 🔥

Dc2’s are so nice man I’m so glad you got this one Jamie. Keen as hell to see what treatment it gets. Also +1 for the euro spec headlights. Way rather them over the rectangle ones that make them look like an s14

I absolutely love this car ... they be pretty expensive over here in Australia. Was so nice to see it move off the line as quick as an E46 M3. Cheers again Jamie

Fun I've ever had in a car was my b16 crxs and my dc2 itrs. My reg was so well set up it was a east on the back roads. So much respect from other drivers also.

Have mine since 2005 . . . And still running strong 😊

Had one of these (UK model) for 16 years as a daily driver. Was a great car but the rust was the thing which destroyed it. Mine was standard but I used to love the engine noise.

Proper sick car, love old school cars, these are cars that you really feel like you're driving and can feel everything that's going on. It's not about bhp, it's about the experience and drama you feel when driving them.

I had a 2nd Gen GSR way back in the day… like 17years ago back in the day 😅( jdm front clip ) all motor bunch of stuff done to it. Made 212 at the wheel and it whooped ARSE on the street’s …Chirp 1/2/3 fadayyyyssss🤣🤣🤘🏼🤘🏼

Just listen to the sound of that car, that's pure joy mate.

Vtec is usually around 6k so it’s been moved. And 3rd gear when you’re revving the nuts off it can end up being an issue.

Lets gooo, excited to see you Kswap this Dc2 and hyped to see the progression of this build. It would be awesome to see a K20 build, a set of Toda Itbs and their entire catalogue like their stroker kit and cams would be epic to see as it isnt very well documented and hard to find much info on the gains ect on their parts. Keeps the Jdm/track car theme of the dc2.

Love the DC2! Made the mistake of not buying one of these years ago! Bought a r26 megane instead 😵🤦🏻‍♂️ Would love to see a lively N/A k-swap build though be a nice change from the usual turbo stuff 👌🏻

Standard VTEC on the b16c6 is 6200 and redlines to aprox 8600 rpms

Had one of these jdm import tuned, was a rapid car the whole dashboard bangs away with wheels spin and ashtray flys out 😂

As an AMG fan I love these, pure analogue sports car. Keep it NA and focus on the bolt on and chassis mods !

My dad had a b16a da6, you could heard it screaming from a mile away, we even got pulled over twice on the same street 😂 was light azz too

Love this video. Had the exact same reaction the first time I drove mine. Made me feel like I was 17 again. Love the Type R.

Loving the Teg 👌🏾Keep it N/A 💯💯

Jamie, you’ll have more fun in that car if you leave it as it is. More power isn’t always a good thing. Turbo it and you’ll not want or need to use all the revs. Besides, you already have the monster DC5 🤷

Shout out from New zealand bro your the man. I've been watching your vids since day one. The energy when u drive and your passion for jdm cars is entertaining. as a Honda fan dc2r is my holy grail. good pick.👌

I just lost my Integra in an accident to a drunk driver still not really over it lol really sucked but it's awesome to see that you got one bro I'll just live vicariously through you lol.

The VTEC is a brilliant screemer of an engine

Loving the videos bro keep them coming ❤

Loving the mannol oil offers at the mo. Just bought another spare oil change fa the shelf while i can.

Power to weight... The killer of giants

My former S2000 AP1 had a 9000 rpm and it was addictive. I did 9000 often. 😅

I would keep the b series and keep it n/a just because it’s a rare type r and it’s history. I’d get a beater dc2 or a pretty clean one and do the k swap on that because I wouldn’t care as much about it’s value and beating on it. What would you guys do?

Shout out 🎉 Jamie for this amazing ride I really enjoyed this episode ,I cant wait to see whats next for this screema Honda.

Welcome to the Honda family. I swear all their cars gear grind and lock out more than their competitors. It’s very common. In a new car I’d blame the fluid not being warm or a weaker blend, but on an old car I might wonder if there’s damage done. In all seems like you’ve got a wonderful car and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it cheesing ear to ear the whole time.

Smiles per miles and loving the screams of the vtec.jamies face says it all

You should try one with the standard suspension on a B road. It amazing how well damped they are.

Love it! To do it justice leave alone (i know you wont!) but please keep NA 10K+ Revs, ITB's, new fuel and ECU systems & tune, strip out and weight savings, top tyres and maybe new LSD, 6 speed box. Make all the good things about it even better! With front wheel drive not much point in any more power, get a S2000 one day for RWD project.

Keep it NA, big power K24 with itbs.

I love these lower power cars, it takes so much more skill to get the best out of them,

Stanceworks recently completed his 1000hp boosted K swapped 308 GTB Ferrari. It's an an absolute weapon. Looking forward to this build. Cheers for the upload.

Your grin says it all! Enjoy mate, very VERY nice car!

Feel faster because its screaming its head off like you said its an all round experience to drive sounds sick

Please keep the B series and tune it please, they really come alive. I personally think they can put the power down as well as a k series. The sound and the raw unrefined goodness of the b series is second to none.

Jamie I haven't seen you enjoy DRIVING a car quite like in this video!! Can't wait to see where you go with this one

Love mine to bits. Might be about to lose it cause I got caught doing 90 in a 40! Proper license losing machine 😂

Dude!!! Keep it as is. Its just perfect. Enjoy every second of that B series fury

187 horses from a stock NA 1.8 is by no means slow even by todays standards

Jamie you should have the best of both worlds and keep it B series as long as you can. The beauty of your situation is you have some many options/avenues to go. Maybe keep both engine types on hand for the hell of it so you can have the car set up for any type of duty you want. 😆

2.4 block stroked out to 2.7 + type r heads 🔥

Lets get it gassed gang

I loved how you drove a Bseries with your Kswap the world shirt

It's already hard to understand the accent but it makes it harder when you say expressions I'm not sure what means but It's so fun seeing you so happy in the car. ❤

I know it's content but you've got the dc5 for crazy power. Think be lots like me that would like to see some more trackday content an I've had a B16 SiR, then the mapped K20 now have a K24 frank with drop ins 260whp 200ft lb and levels ups and almost perfect, could do a touch more but it costs for there up. Few of us on similar pace in mixed cars K24 metro, K20 EF civic, k24 frank EK/ EP 53s around brands indy is no joke and lot of fun. Keep up the great content ❤

Sounds more like a motorbike than a car! Epic!!

Love it when you drive them Hondas boy!!!

love this channel men keep up the good work

Keep it B series, full N/A build!

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!

Yeeah, cant beat that naturally aspirated response, sick video 💯

Best cars ever made and the best looking set of clocks ever esp the rev counter. Amazing.

In 2004 I bought a brand new factory fresh 0mi '01 spec USDM B18C5 from the Mugen dealer King Motorsports here in the States. They told me the factory rotating assembly is 100% safe to 9,500rpm but the factory valve springs are only good to 9,100rpm.

_Raw Honda is what we love, whether it be N/A or boosted, OG’s know what it means_ ❤🙌🏼❤ … _great vid Jamie_

that honda giving sum sounds💆‍♂️ always liked an Integra.. still think you have time for an 2jz v vr6 upload I'd appreciate it

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.

Jamie out here making me want to buy an EK9 CTR 😩

Still possibly the best handling front wheel drive car ever made !

That looks more than 215 mate , get it on the Dyno and let's have bets

VTEC engagement for a Type R are at 5600rpm (according to a certain japanese show from 1995 and shows probably 5800 on the tacho).

If its a track car. K24 ITB’s with a big cam. Job done. 300bhp any more than that and spinning no winning

Thank you Jamie. Save the manuals💪🏾

N/A all the Waaaay!!!!! Please do a build where you max out the K-series N/A potential

Stop hoggin all the tegs man 🤣🤣 sweet ride 👌

You know 🔥

Honda integra type r my love on wheels

I gotta be honest. I've been a big fan for jdm for decades and still drive jdm now, yet the dc2r is still my favorite. I miss my days when driving mine back in many years ago. What's this car is giving isn't about power on the straight, it's the inspiration the car can provide you to feel like you are a race car driver.

What a weapon ive been lucky enough too own an Aerodeck vti B18c4 MC2 as a daily for nearly 20,000 miles so much fun rust got it ( poor mans DC2/ id love too own a Dc2 if i had the money as there so expensive) i will never forget that Road trip from Glasgow through Glen Coe Fort William and Skye going over that Glen coe Bridge at 8000 revs was epic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💨

Love it jamie, really clean example and was a seriously sick bit of kit back in the day, magazines all agreed it was probably the v best handling fwd car available!. My 20 plate cupra 290 struggle’s to get a better 0-60 because of traction and the old skool dc2 with less power punches that no. Out, crazy. Btw the round headlights are great looking and the wheel just isn’t!!. Watching with interest. Think I need a type r of some sort 🤔. Cheers ✌🏻

That cars rapid,u gonna easily become top spot after your tuning...5.5 😮 only 215bhp 🔥🔥🔥

Smiles per gallon! Good to see you enjoy it so much. Looking forward to your plans with it. Thanks for sharing bro 👊🏻

I had a 99 Integra SIR years ago that kicked in at 4,500 rpm - it was fairly quick. Think it was also just up over 200 BHP. My 96 type r though, kicks in at 5,500, but the turbo kicks in at 3,500 😂
