Didn't realise it was 280+ at the wheels, that's fantastic :d
Also is it just me or does it have a SRS airbag, for SRS crashes?
Chers guys, really appreciate the kind words.
And ya, SRSly
Stoo mate thats really immense, love the sound of the charger, well impressive set up. And the video is ace, cracking edited together.

Not being negative but how reliable is it going to be in this spec? Am genuinely intrested!
I know of quite a few SC'd DC5's, EP3's, Ariel Atoms etc running perfectly well..
There is always the niggling doubt with any build
Yeah too true, i dont know much about Honda's at all, obviously know they are pretty bullet proof but same as anything else when you push the boundries you push your luck.
Is there a rule of thumb to stick between?
Well, the biggest issue is heat and knock.High compression engine see.
And these can't be intercooled.
They can be after cooled but it isn't great.
So usually, around 7psi, which is what I have is safe.
Good for 300bhp easily and realible too
I am looking in to water meth for the future.
thats the fukkin sex
I can't seem to play the video, it opens up another page but can't watch anything?
I fail at computers!!
Edit - got it working on my phone now.
Thats impressive i must say, what torque figure you getting? when i was in malaysia i was working on a NA DC5 in the ATCS and that was getting 278whp, however that was a full race engine with the VTEC removed. Good work pal!
Looks like fun!
It was about 183lbft atw.
Which is 215lbft fly torque.
Mmmmmmm ATCS DC5s driooooool
So today i re-fitted all the rear interior...
The combo of solid mounts amplifying every little noise, road noise and the exhaust, it got too much.
So its all back in and so much quieter :)
I think the weight is negligible now anyhow!!
I also had my drivers side engine mount out to give that a tighten up as i was getting excessive engine movement and this was the prime suspect...
All sorted now.
Also today, I got a few boxes from OPIE :)
Cheers Postie :)
& OPIE Oils!

So, everything is on hold for now.....
I got told yesterday at 3PM, 'Cancel everything planned, You're off to Afghanistan in 3 weeks for 3 months!!!'
Winner!
I will accumulate bits over the coming months though and no doubt have a fitting splurge when I get back!
Top priority is brakes!!
I have got or have sourced all of it already However.
I am going for;
TGM Hoses
RBF 600 Fluid
Paul G Front Discs (2 piece AP discs with Aly Bells) AMAZING!
DS2500 Front Pads
OEM Rear Discs
Yellowstuff Rear Pads
Also on the list....
Gauges (Oil press/Oil Temp definitely, Possibly Boost, Poss AFR, Poss EGT) Yet to decide
Oil Cooler
Baffled sump
Tyres (AD08s or RS-Rs)
Paint Bumpers
Mesh grille
Refurb Calipers
Bla bla....
On another note, I need someone to look after the motor when I'm away. Give it a run out once a week and so on.
My wife drove it tonight and shat in her pants pretty much!
I'll have to ask my best mate I think!
There's no way I trust her to take it out once a week!! Hahaha!
Hope you have a safe trip.
Look forward to updates when you return. And your mate is very lucky lol
Can't you hide it in the back of a tristar and take it with you? Mount a machine gun and use it as a technical..? lol
Highly unlikely jack.
Not where I'm going lol!
imho mixing pad compounds as severely as that would make the ABS work its tits off far too hard...
Stick to atleast the same brand front and rear, ideally same compound too.
Awesome. Excellent video too, love the fast and furious gear changes!
Stu, proven set up on the DC5 mate
OEM brakes are atrocious despite the brembos!!
Rear hardly does any braking and the Fronts are a huge improvement over stock so that little extra at the back helps balance it again.
Cheers stevie
Hmm fair enough. I know that FWD cars do feck all at the back ;) but its been 'proven' that mixing rude spec fronts with ****e spec (read that as 'grippier when cold than the fronts') makes the back end twitchy, or in ABS's case, makes it work hard and start cooking fluid :(
Can you get freddo 25's for the rear too? (or even 3K's but they might be stupid money)
Yeah I get you mate. I'll see how they go
Although, I'm not sure you get just how shocking the brakes on these can be.
The HUGE upgrade up front will balance out the rear mismatch.
The only reason I have the YS's is cos I was given them!
Yeah you can get 2500s for the rear
May look in to them at some point
I know how bad OEM brakes on a 'fastish' car can be... Seems to be the one thing that gets overlooked by the cheap end of the car market :( I guess putting a £2K brake upgrade option on a list would see a low take up.
See it all the time with most 'warm' cars now.
Unless its got a fancy badge then brakes are an afterthought!
Even M3s!!
So
Rays black superlight locking Wheel nuts FTW

Ahhh thats sh1t mate, damage could of been worse though
Yeah true.
Needed Paint anyway.
Picked up a Cusco oil catch tank, DRE Shift light and ordered a parcel shelf last night.
DRE Shift light fitted.
Piece of cake, took about 5 mins.
Got it mounted to the wheel cowling in front of the clocks with a bit of sticky foam.
Illumination is
Blue, Blue, Blue, Amber, RED!!
Pretty bright too.
Got it set so the first LED illuminates at 7800RPM, then 8000, then 8200, then 8400 and then the Red flashes at 8600RPM
Quite a nifty bit of kit :D

looks good mate you got the bumper sorted yet?
Nah not yet mate, soon though.
Rev light?? What the point of the rev counter then?
Lights are very bright in your peripheral vision so theres no need to have your eyes off the road/track.
Plenty of people use them, including F1 cars!
Would say the counter is more in view, but what ever tickles your winky
