Engine differences facelift and pre face

[jakeycrx]

I have a DC2 with a DC5 K20A engine and box. I need to order some parts and have managed to find a chassis number from the thread about FLO the dodgy DC5! Are there any differences I need to look out for when ordering parts using this chassis number?

I was just going to use a UK EP3 reg but I need to order the clips that hold the gear linkages onto the box and I thought they might be different. I'm also ordering an oil filter but I think they're all the same across the Honda range apart from the S2000.

I don't quite understand what you're asking, but there's no differences for dc5 facelift or pre for the engine & gearbox (some will say the ratios are different, but it's rubbish).

Obviously there'll be lots of differences between the ep3 & dc5 eng/g'box internally and externally.

If you have a chassis code and what honda parts for a JDM car, try Dave Johnson @ Steels honda 01432 267154

Sorry, I didn't word that very well. I have a DC5 chassis number which I'm using to order parts so I just wondering if there are any differences between facelift and pre face engine and gearbox parts. To be fair I don't actually know which car my engine and box is from anyway!

I have a good relationship with my local Honda parts guy so I always like to order from him. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yeah ok, no differences between pre and facelift eng/g'box that I know of 👍

Thank you!

Thank you!

For a prefacelift DC5 you could start with DC51000*** and put in a combination of some last 3 numbers to get a valid VIN

The Facelift does have different ratios.

the facelift does not have different ratios. same engine and same box.

White ones are faster, its a fact, the paint is lighter

 

[ste01]

What are you lot on about? They never even made white ones!

sorry, i should have said C H A M P I O N S H I P white, its not called championship blue, red or black is it? and for very good reason.

Nah its Premiership Blue, Championship white, League 1 black and League 2 red

The 96 and 98 versions of the DC2 had different ratios, i think there are a few differences like this that have possibly been confused with the PFL and FL DC5.

Possibly Max, but I think it's more down to some Japanese dc5 promo vids feeding people BS to trade in their PFs for new FLs

Dyno proven... Well now you bring it up ........ ha ha

(4th gear in a FL is different...) 😉
