durmz Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If you dont buy it if you could let me know where this teg is going for silly cheap is because im on the look for one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I really want one next but after the GT im pretty much done with FWD.I'd get one as a daily car if I could afford to in a few years.Reliable, awsome performance out of the box with a few bolt ons and comfy cars and they are pretty cheap these days (unlike ek9's).

Ryan-11 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Thats the thing Asad i think ill miss the boost, i think v tec will bore me lol but ive always wanted a dc2, having said that ill still have the glanza locked away in the garage.Yeah sparky i was thinking about a rwd (kp60) but this teg had poped up lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 if your still keeping the V and have money for the Honda go for it.....it would be a harder choice to make if you were selling the V to move to the honda Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G4V1N Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Few years ago mate of mine had a DC2 with a turbo kit installed, and boy it was fastâ?¦ turbo kick in at 2k running at 1.5 bar and at 6.5k scramming vetch all the way till 9.5k then gear change. The car it self is very well made and the handling is sport on, the only down side its that there donâ??t have enough torque, and you have to scram the engine to get to power you desire, but you could get a thing called vetch controller eliminate that problem.

Sparky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I know i'd be banned if I had one these from "tec'ing" everywhere because lets face it I would get caught doing something stupid before I blew it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G4V1N Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 youd always remove vtec with a set of toda vtec killer cams or something similar when boosting *tak* if your going to run 1.5 bar or it wouldnt work as the high lift cam and boost dont work well together. what will happen is the valves are still open during compression stroke, so the boosted mixture escapes before the valves close, therefore robbing you of power at high rpmsthought id just add my 2p as 1.5bar and tak sounds far..... from correct tbh im not event sure what he's has done to the car, all i know its he took me out for a quick spain and its bloody quick, took a quick glance at his boost guage and it read 1.5bar, then he had to slow . so how much boost should be running if 1.5bar its far from correct?
