Will Buddy Club rails for an ep3 fit a dc5? Thanks

Hi I'm supposed to be picking up a Kpro V3 tomorrow, its from an EP3, I know the wideband for the o2 sensor is different somehow, but can I use it in my DC5? I will be getting a remap as soon as it goes on, or will I have to/can I get the kpro chip/board taken out and re-soldered into my DC5...

My car is idling at around 1700 rpm, its lost alot of power and the engine light is on with that code fault, we put a multimeter on the TPS and it read from the two earth points but got no signal from it with the throttle fully open, is this a broken TPS for sure or could it be a loom/connector...

I've fitted my RBC and TB, the car is idling around 1600-1900 rpm, running stock ecu at the moment, its feels more laggy and slower than before the RBC and I think it may be the TPS sensor as I just bolted it on not knowing it needed setting up on the new TB, its thrown the engine light on and...

I've decided that over the winter I will be doing an engine rebuild on my DC5, I was considering a JRSC but they are hard to find and would rather build the engine, but I am debating cams in the process, I spoke to Hond-R and they recommended Drag Cartel stage 1 drop in cams, RDX injectors and a...

I'm doing an engine rebuild on my DC5 and I'm pondering between head gaskets, Its between Cosworth, Spoon and Mugen, The Mugen looks like the best 0.5mm thick and raises the comp .4 points to 11:7 (iirc), I will be running Buddy Club Stage 2 cams, would this be a good choice? Keeping internals...

Hi, I've decided that supercharging the DC5 is the way forward, I'm sorry for any ignorance but I haven't looked into the exacts needed for a JRSC setup, I am SORN'ing the ITR in a month when the Tax runs out for the winter and Supercharging it in the spring, but will be building up the parts...

I'm about to fit an RBC and 70mm TB to my dc5, I've noticed that there are no mounting points for the throttle cable on the RBC so do you have to run the more direct cable off and Ep3? Or can you re-locate the dc5 one? As the dc5 one on oem fitment comes round from the left and an ep3 from the...

Hi, I have tein superstreets on my dc5, but the rears are seized and wont adjust, my friend is selling two rear buddy club n+ rear coilovers off his ep3, would the car handle well still running two different brands or is it better to buy a whole new set? Thanks

I'm looking to swap out my tein superstreets for something that go a little lower and stiffer, what are peoples opinions on BC? Low and hard as steel rods is what I'm aiming for! Thanks

Hi, my DC5 is making a ticking noise that is very noticeable on idle, goes up with the revs but can only hear it up to 3-4k, more noticeable on idle though. Its always done it (owned it 7 months) but lately its getting much more noticeable to the point of hearing it from inside the car now. My...

I've just bought some evo enkeis for my DC5, my stock nuts seem to hold them on but not entirely trusting it, are the spigots needed 73.1 > 62.1? and if I buy a set of red allu/ anodised nuts off eBay (d1/blox etc) for an evo will they fit the evo wheels on the teg? thanks

I was wondering if this fitment is suitable for a dc5? as I usually see people running et45, I don't want any sticking out of the arch stance business, wheels are Enkei TM02's 17x8j et35 Thanks

What In Psi should a healthy DC5 produce on a compression test? I've read online 230 psi is this correct? What are people actually seeing from theirs? Thanks

Are there any modifications required to fit one to a DC5? Sorry for ignorance just want to make sure's no silly niggles to overcome before I rip the old one off, read somewhere they need modding to fit a K20a head, (have 70mm tb with plate) just some of the holes/ports in the top look...

After some advice, my DC5 has started chucking out black smoke (varying amounts) to the point where its staining the rear bumper (takes a few days of heavy booting/driving, washes off though with a bit of a scrub) it has a decat dc-sports manifold (engine light never came on!?) and a 3'' solid...

I have a 3" cat back from solid fab, its been on for 4 days and has been perfect, now whilst driving and revving at certain revs (mostly on the comedown) the exhaust is strongly having rapid vibrations but ive checked underneath and its not hitting on the chassis anywhere atall so dont think its...

What induction kits have you seen good gains with. The gruppe M is the one that people shout about, but is it best? My friend has an injen long ram on his ep3 and made 254bhp with rbc setup. what are peoples opinions thanks

Just wanted to say Hi, I'm now in the market for a DC5 :) I'm no newbie to the Honda scene though, I've just reluctantly taken a deposit on my EK4 that I've built over the last 3 years, I've always wanted a 5 and now its time! Is there anything to look out for when viewing one? ie. any common...
