Forums Forums StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car

100bhp for race fuel and map! Bloody hell.

I wish I could afford to do all this. The car is mint mate, now get down the gym so you don't feel the effects of no PAS lol. You will look like popeye after a few race's.

I did the same to the Civic, and TBH, it was only really heavy at low speed, moving the car round etc, once on track it was fine and gave so much more feedback

Down the gym Im trying to loose weight from the car, not add to it

Some pics from Thruxton

Great build Stuart.....

You dont happen to know Andy Davies do you? Im sure that he races in CTC and lives on the Wirral?

Yeah, Im very good friends with Andy, Allan and PK - Allans BMW is one of the E30s in my sig pic

Some more pics from this years racing....

Snetterton...

Getting a bit out of shape...

Oulton Park...

Been a while since Ive done anything here, but plans are afoot for a few more geegees before shes out again

Got a Hondata S300 remappable ECU for the car now and shes booked in for a rolling road session in July.

In conjunction with that, Ive also bought the following...

An Edelbrock inlet manifold - runners are 1.5" longer than std to help flow in to the head:



Some Brian Crower Stage 2 Cams with uprated valve springs and titanium retainers:



Plus Ive also got an alloy high flow fuel rail to fit, with adjustable pressure regulator. Coupled to that, and left over from the Silvia, Ill also be fitting a high flow fuel pump with swirl pot in a 2 pump system to reduce the risk of fuel surge.

I thought Id add a few pics of a few little jobs Ive been up recently, and a few plans for the next month or so....

Firstly, fitted a fuel pressure gauge - this to go with the adjustable FPR and fuel rail Ive added...





Also as an upgrade to the fuel system, I still had the high flow pump I used on the old Silvia racecar and the swirl pot. So, Ive bought a load of braided fuel hose, and Ill be fitting the swirl pot and pump over the up and coming weeks - the idea being that I can keep less fuel in the car without the risk of fuel surge



Other items "in the post" are a pair of Brian Crower stage 2 cams and an Edelbrock inlet manifold - Ill get the manifold fitted when it turns up, but the cams will be fitted when the car goes to get the Hondata S300 ECU mapped in July

Plans this weekend (weather dependant) are to get the doors off, and make swiss cheese of the frames with a hole saw - again to try and shed more weight!

OK, so weather did permit today, so I attacked the doors with a hole saw to get a bit more weight out of them.

TBH there wasnt much left of the after I fitted the windows, but every little helps

Swiss cheese...



..and with some silver tape and the door card back on...



And with the weather being so nice I gave her a clean too - still looks ok after a year of competition, all be it, the front bumper is a bit peppered now...

Looks nice Stu, make sure it's locked up though!
