the motor can be installed either way but to install from top, the rad upper mount will be converted from being spot welded to bolt on .

 

how much did the whole project cost in PESOS?just wonderin?

 

good question. i stopped counting after six months working on it. its like the movie "money pit"

 

thought so too..but how much would it cost for the engine and the front suspension of the dc?..sa autoplus ba ginawa to?how long did the build last?

 

made it in my shop with my tinsmith and a mechanic. the half cut DC5 cost USD$5k. most was installed in the jazz, i also had to buy the LHD DC5 steering rack.

if i were to do a similar swap, it will probably take 3 months.

 

WOW!!! deep pocket eyy...the engine itself cost as much as a second hand EG hatchback..I'll probably build one of those with a b20 block paired with a b16 head..less buck for almost the same bang...tnx fro the info bro!

 

where you find turbo kit for Jazz?

 

Seems to me this whole thing might become easier once the mounts from Hasport and articles are out for it

 

hey ek888 ...you sure are nuts .that takes a lot of time and fabrication
but that is pretty extreme mods .who is doing the work is it yourself

 

It is him that I know of.

 

True said but where the b20 n/a tops out thats where the k20 begins. K-series is the way to go. Expensive but just do it yourself. It doesn't seem that bad.

 

Bye the way, is it possible to use the DC5 rear brake assembly and spindles(entire brakes) on the fit. Or just only dc, eg, ek stuff. I know that the DC5 brakes just bolt on right?

 

its not bolt on. have to machine an adaptor.

 

doesn't seem like it would be that big of a deal. but spacing issues might be caused by using that.......

 

Can someone please ban this moron

 

Thanks for the info. I know that the DC5 suspension is a bitch interms of weight. Everything thats off the RSX/Integras is heavy and built really strong. Did you weigh your car on a scale before and after? If so, what was your previous stock weight (curb weight) and the current weight (with suspension, motor, subframe etc,)?

 

not really. i know that its heavier than a stock jazz specially now that i have a 120lbs sound system at the back.

 

Cleareance issues and does it push the rear wheels out further to the quarters?

 

the width of the mounting plate each is 50mm and will approximate the dc5 rear track.
i had to enlarge the wheel well considerably, if u will notice, the rear doors edges is the circumference of the wheel opening. we removed about 50mm of body metal there

 

That is just crazy.... I hope once the NA models come out it will help get this swap done easier.
