I just read about 'top fuel's (Japan tuner)' 495hp dc5r.
They apparently upgraded their k20a2 itr engine from 2.0 liter to 2.4 liter, plus added a turbo...and are pushing just under 500hp... :o

Imagine doing that to our ep3?:eek: any thoughts...

my plan all along has been to do a 2.4L swap with better cams and under drive pullys. I just need a bunch of money first. But I want to run all motor. I saw that DC5 in super street I think, it was very bad ass!

It was not a k20a2, it was a k20a= R motor.
The car is an ITR.

sorry about that, I thought the point came acros when said 'itr engine'...:o
I have a tendency to call it a k20a itr...I believe it is actually called a k20a dc5r....;)
plus I think I did put dc5r a lot in there...and why in the world would someone assume a top tunner in the heart of Japan would even consider working with a usdm engine when the have jdm ones in abundance...be kind it was only a FREAKIN TYPE-O :p
Ps:everyone else realized it was an itr.

yep, the car is completly gutted too. However that would be a sweet ep3 if you could make it daily driven dependable...since it is pretty much full jdm and jspec after market I would think it is still more dependable that ours ..hehe:D
