What is a stock dc5 k20 capable off? Ive mine at 366hp bone stock, even my clutch was standard until i decided to change it not long ago. But i was thinking off maybe pushing it a bit further, has anyone went this far with there dc5 on stock internals before?

:shock: further than 366hp thats insane must be a right animal.. Personally i wouldnt want to push more than 350hp on a stock setup but have seen alot more power on standard setups on the Civic Ep3s, but they have slightly lower compression ratios to the JDM K20 and have seen some running nos to keep the temps down.
Hats off to you though thats some impressive DC5 you have there B)

Surely when you say stock you mean internals? To produce 366 you must be turbo charging right? That is scary power on stock internals eitherway. Just shows how well over engineered the K20 really is =D>
Sorry stock internals i ment lol ah yes, turbo with a cheeky shot of nos aswell lmao well ive two printouts- 317bhp nos-366bhp / 327bhp nos- 356bhp, two different rolling roads. Would you believe me if i said the standard clutch wasnt even slipping with that power? Was maybe going to step the nos shot up as it feels slow to me now lol but im getting offered a fully built engine out of a ep3, bored all that crack for handy money but im a bit reluctent to go forged route at the minute. Just wondering if anyones ever went this far with a dc5 engine, as you say theres ep3 guys using stock engines around 400bhp but they are lower comp.

Personally I think your pushing the boundaries and into unknown territory. You either up rate internals now or do it when something breaks. Do you really need more power anyway or are you just nervous she‘s going to give up any minute?
If you don‘t run with NOS then you'd probably be ok. What bar you spooling to?

The car has been this way for a year and still is a trooper! Not one pick of bother have i had with it. I guess im bored now and want to see what it can do. Maybe not the best way to put it lol its making just under 10psi then a nos 50 shot. Basically a 9psi jrsc boost.
366 with stock internals, my word! :shock: :lol:
More BHP though? I cant imagine it taking much more than that, as it is the engine life would have been shortened already.
If you can afford it though, go for it! But it will go bang eventually without upgrading it.

wow increasing torque all the way up to over 7k rpm. Turbo's are FTW!!!
Bet she pulls like a train lol

In the dry it grips just fine, sometimes high revs in 2nd itll struggle abit. It the wet its a different story, 4th gear turbo spooling then vtec engages then full boost, itl start to spin the tyres around 100mph when the power is really building. I can feel it fighting for grip. I dont drive it quick to be honest, its really a sunday car plus my girlfriend is afraid of it lol
