This guy doesn't know what he's talking about! The DC5 Integra was seem welded, had different gear ratios, LSD, No sunroof, HID headlights, Recaro seats, No sound deadening, Different suspension, and front Brembo brakes. Yeah, I call that a huge difference between the DC5 Integra and RSX!
I personally didn't hear what you were explaining about the difference between the itr and the type s. From what I know the two vehicles are totally different and kinda similar in certain areas. Motor wise the itr has a higher compression motor with a different intake manifold and exhaust manifold. Itr doesn't come equipped with a sunroof unlike the type s is equipped. Itr and type s have different suspension design. Itr subframe is aluminum and type s is steel. Itr come with 17 in rims with brembo brakes. Type s 02-04 have 16in and 05-06 have 17in and both come with single piston calipers. Itr isnt equipped with interior sound deadening. Interior in both cars are similar but itr come with Recaro seats and momo steering wheel. A lot of things were left out on this video and the 2 cars are setup differently.
Agreed, this vid didn't go into much detail. Another major difference is the Type S has open diff vs. ITR being LSD. Its why I chose Civic SI over the Type S.
DC2 GSR and Type R were very different due to the seam welded chassis and hand built motor(among other things).... The RSX type-s (especially the 05-06) are 99% the same car as the Type R. The DC5 type R does not have a seam welded chassis or a hand built race engine. It just had a few extra parts that were easily bolted on.
So maybe getting the k20A an doing the build like the type R would help me make the NA build handle more an make it clean simple and proper. Are the civic transmissions really any bette
you obviously know nothing about the JDM DC5 type R, rsx type s is missing the LSD, brembos, stiffer springs, recaros seats not mentioning 17hp just to name a few.
The k20 and the k20a2 , k20a3 and the k20z1 are 3 totally different motors The k20a that came in the honda integra type r came with more aggressive cams forged internals and 11.5 :1 compression making 217hp The k20a2 that came in the rsx type s from 02 to 04 had 11.0 : 1 compression mild cams making 201 hp The k20a3 which came in the ep3 base model rsx the crv,honda element. Was and economy motor only pushing 160hp The k20z1 which came in the 05 -06 rsx types had 11.0:1 compression with cams a little more aggressive than the k20a from the type r giving it 210hp Just to had to put my 2 cents in
thrashingjustin it's not just the 19 hp that's different. It's the way it's delivered. Like he said it's a different motor. Much more aggressive and race inspired power delivery. You need to drive a real type r to understand
i owned a dc5r and it is a 100 times better than the type s. Brakes interior suspension headlights taillights and most importantly the type s is single legger as in not lsd. i made 168kws atw with bolt ons and ecu upgrade.
I drive a Prelude and drove a base-model Rsx with 160hp, even with how slow it was it was super fun to drive!! Just the base model made me want a Type S, it felt really light and responsive to everything i did
Hey nice two cars bro, i am so close to decide me to buy a rsx type S this week. I have a prelude 4 gen, wich prelude so you have? I used to have a ep3 160 hp it was really fin car to drive
Currently been driving a base model RSX for my first 3 yrs of driving am 19 and god damn I’ve fallen in love with her, can’t imagine how much more I would enjoy the car if it was a type s or integra
I just got a Acura RSX Type S, but it's hella beat up, so I've got to do alot of work on it. Didn't know much about it, but now at least I know it was made by Honda. Toyota and Honda are my go to brands when looking for vehicles.
How are you going to talk about the differences then skip over the facts that the type r engine makes more HP and Torque with a higher red line. The. Totally forget to mention the one single thing that makes the type r so damn good, the LSD.
Any chassis that initially can with the b series typically had the preferred double wishbone suspension as opposed to the newer and cheaper MacPherson struts. Throw a K series on to any double wishbone Honda and you have a winner
There are so many differences between the 2 cars... To list a few - DC5 has higher compression, different camshafts, better intake manifold, different exhaust system, brembo brakes, lighter flywheel, different ECU, RECAROS, better final drive making gear ratios much better, sound deadening removed, the DC5 is a fair bit lighter in general, different wheels. Plenty more i havent listed. Also the DC5 Type R was released in 2001, not 2002. ALSO there were DC5 Type Rs released in New Zealand and Australia. These were more comparable with the RSX as they were a lower spec than the JDM version
Man from Nantucket ....Yeah, and the oil pump, piston rings, pistons, end bearings...not to mention leaking around the oil pan...will get you 1000km TOPS if you daily and feather the throttle. But, why would you build a power motor and pussy around town?😆😆😆😆....so there you go, a Honda smoke a Lambo? Yes...but that motor won't out live the V8 or V12 in a Lambo.
Well yall wrong cause my home boy is k24/a2 frank build stock and with pump gas he pushing 340hp if e85 or any other racing fuel he can be almost 400hp
I owned an Acura Integra with an LS engine and I loved the hell out of that car. It was the funnest sports car I have ever owned on the back roads. I could only imagine how an Integra with a K Series motor would feel like probably the perfect balance
Don't listen to this guy. He's not good at informing people about these cars. Some of his information is incorrect. The first thing he said that is wrong is the DC5 was produced from 2002-2006. Wrong. The DC5 was produced from 2001 thru 2006 for model years 2002 thru 2006. This video sucks.
People do make fun of Honda’s but it’s easier making 500hp on a Honda then my speed 3 that’s for sure I need a built motor if I’m ever wanting more then 400hp
MazDaspeedG ....Keep the Speed3 and enjoy it as it is and it will out live any K20 built motor. Where l'm from the Speed3 is much harder to get than any OEM type R.
Hey drive what you want and be proud. But I think the reason why people hate on Hondas is because of the fast if done right statement that almost all fans use. Any car’s fast if done right. They’re fairly slow from the factory. And that’s really what determines if you have a fast car or not is when it leaves the factory. I’ve seen a guy build a smart car that walks most cars. It’s irrelevant after you start changing things because any car can be made fast.
Coming from someone who’s own DA, GSR and a DC5, the 94-01 integra is the best IMO. The chassis is light, the handling is great, and if swap with a K, it’s even better than the DC5.
DC2 GSR and Type R were very different due to the seam welded chassis and hand built motor(among other things).... The RSX type-s (especially the 05-06) are 99% the same car as the Type R. The DC5 type R does not have a seam welded chassis or a hand built race engine. It just had a few extra parts that were easily bolted on.
The motor ia different too the jdm version is tuned higher and requires 100 octane that they only have in japan...Europe and America got the dumbed down motors
The DC5 R is a totally different car to drive than the RSX S. It is louder, more aggressive, faster, lighter, stiffer and feels better to drive. The RSX S is more civilized, isolated, leather, cruise control, sound system and stuff. The R does not even have sun visor mirrors and no radio. Because racecar
It’s a shame the k-series transmission sucked compared to the b-series. Hell, even the new type R, after 15+ years, is having transmission problems 🤦♂️
I have a Ivy Tech 2.2 L but it's still with the whole dc5 it's fun to drive for a a daily Rider but I want something to be able to move quicker whenever I shift down second gear is always long and then Acura but still if you want a daily Rider this is your car pick it love it Tuesday enjoy it
Japan also has the Integra Type S Version like the RSX-S, same interior but obviously RHD and the rear taillights of the Kouki or Face lift version same as the Type R ones. Engine are JDM K20Z1 not the K20A
Itr has a higher compression and makes more power than a type s. That's why I'm saving up to drop a 05/06 k20a itr motor into my 01 civic sedan instead of doing what everyone over here does and cheap out on the k20a2
In terms of motor it's similar, but I'm terms of complete package, it's entirely different. Best way to put it is like a cheese burger to a big Mac. Both got the same Patty but the big Mac has the little things that makes it better.
I own a JDM 2006 Honda Integra Type-S. My DC5 is right hand drive. I plan to replace my headlights. Will the aftermarket headlights for the RSX fit my Integra?
Type R is a whole different level....it's in the name surely all car guy would know a Type R is miles ahead of any lower model... 10-20bhp more, lighter, brembo brakes, stiffer chassis, LSD
3:26 you start talking about rare parts and Mugen and show a fake Mugen valve cover. But being that I own an orange DC5, I have to agree with most your video. And u also didnt talk about the second gen integra. The car that brought b series and vtec to the masses.
Damn i miss my DC5, only thing that I didnt like is that the stock height is very tall especially in the rear it seems. Coilovers or springs is a must for the DC5. Now i have a GennyCoupe🔰
SneakerKnockerz yea mines too, I was very excited about the new Honda type r but it just didn't cut it for me only the performance but not the body style, so I'm just gonna keep my 06 type s
Neff DeathWatch type s are good if you have the money but that doesn't me you can't do anything to base models. I still see people who mod a3's and even boost them.
Ryan Wilkinson I appreciate that trying to make my beautiful like a mini batcar takes for me time probably be done with my project car in 3 years school and part time
I came here to see a track race and a drag race and the differences between the two. I didnt click this video for you to tell me about the history of Honda motors I already know that
You need to learn about the differences in the suspension between the 2 generations. That's what is important. Honda specifically changed the suspension from Dual Wishbone in the front to McPherson strut design specifically to get better performance around one specific track in Japan. That's it to beat the older DC2 ITR around a track. Doesnt mean the newer design was better all around other situations. There are more limitations to the McPherson strut design where the older tried and true winner in all designs dual wishbone out performs. Where the older DC2 with wishbone with a K motor can actually out perform a DC5 ITR in other situations based off weight transfer in turns. You dont see ITR K swaps in the Japanese Racing video collection they only raced the DC2 stock for stock.
Too keep it short dc5 has different suspension brembo brakes recaro seats and k20a also not forget the lsd transmission it’s totally different car from us type s
@Tuned in Tokyo, hey man I don't wanna sound like a complete prik but at 1:29 you mentioned FA5 yet show a picture which appears to be an FD chassis or FD2 Civic Type R. The North American market had the FA5 while believe it or not Honda of Japan loved the way the Canadian only marketed Acura CSX looked they used that as their template for the FD2. Just to let you know...~
dude, im sorry to bump u . but there aint no " acura RSX is just simply a rebadging of the integra R without no much of a difference ". it is a whole lot difference
Can't believe I just found this channel! I love JDM! I've been following JDM 4 about five or six years now. From the VTEC BWAAAAAAHH to the Supra PFFTTTTTTTTT AND THE subbie Rumble. Love what ya do man...
is funny how u would just swap the head of a k20a2 or z1 into the tsx block. they both have true vtec. don't swap nothing lol. why pay 2g on a tsx k24 engine if u just going to used the block. get the crv or element or accord k24a engine. u can pick up one of these engine for 300 or less in craigslist lol yes is lower compression but u save 1700 buck.
thanks for the vid but you should put quick rundown/general overview in the title...clicked into it thinking you had two on hand to do an actual comparison
My step dad just told me there was no such thing as the Acura rsx Integra type r he said there isn’t one that exist that I don’t know what iam talking about.
I use to street race Honda's back in the days, but when i got into v8. Its was a lot cheaper to power up there HP compare to Honda's. Less money well spent.
Bro is that it? Seems like u haven’t known enough about the dc5r compared to the type s. At the minimum u didn’t include the difference between gear ratios, final drive ratios which makes a huge difference in acceleration. It’s not just the badge and rhd.
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about! The DC5 Integra was seem welded, had different gear ratios, LSD, No sunroof, HID headlights, Recaro seats, No sound deadening, Different suspension, and front Brembo brakes. Yeah, I call that a huge difference between the DC5 Integra and RSX!
I was thinking the same thing. This guy has no idea what he's talking about.
Right!! lol, he said "z series motors, the b18" bahahahahaha like wtf! dude is clueless!!
Knuckles also are different and axels
If you knew all this then why watch the video
I personally didn't hear what you were explaining about the difference between the itr and the type s. From what I know the two vehicles are totally different and kinda similar in certain areas. Motor wise the itr has a higher compression motor with a different intake manifold and exhaust manifold. Itr doesn't come equipped with a sunroof unlike the type s is equipped.

jay alves yeah man you right, the itr is overall better. The type s is a dumbed down version of the itr. Which sucks but it is what it is
Agreed, this vid didn't go into much detail. Another major difference is the Type S has open diff vs. ITR being LSD. Its why I chose Civic SI over the Type S.
Ty
Yup, after I installed my coilovers and mfactory lsd the car handles so much better now
jay alves did u install the lsd yourself or at a shop? How many hours does it take?
A lot is different between the 2, internals, LSD, brakes, LCA's, tune along with all the interior goods. US got a full washed down model
Alex Huynh yeah he really didn't explain shit. He doesn't know shit about the differences
Yeah fuckin trash ass US model
DC2 GSR and Type R were very different due to the seam welded chassis and hand built motor(among other things).... The RSX type-s (especially the 05-06) are 99% the same car as the Type R.

Did u say lsd...?
you obviously know nothing about the JDM DC5 type R, rsx type s is missing the LSD, brembos, stiffer springs, recaros seats not mentioning 17hp just to name a few.
chenyu liu n longer redline I believe
The DC5 also has a wider rear track then the Type S, came with no sunroof, had aluminum floor braces and much more.
also a 4.7 final i believe, push to start, momo wheel, and i think lighter trailing arms
I was waiting for this exact comment, didn't have to scroll too much.
chenyu liu 17hp makes no difference
The k20 and the k20a2 , k20a3 and the k20z1 are 3 totally different motors
The k20a that came in the honda integra type r came with more aggressive cams forged internals and 11.5 :1 compression making 217hp
The k20a2 that came in the rsx type s from 02 to 04 had 11.0 : 1 compression mild cams making 201 hp
The k20a3 which came in the ep3 base model rsx the crv,honda element. Was and economy motor only pushing 160hp
The k20z1 which came in the 05 -06 rsx types had 11.0:1 compression with cams a little more aggressive than the k20a from the type r giving it 210hp
Just to had to put my 2 cents in
ShadowGamer19 lol hp doesn't mean crap. Especially with the little difference that you just explained
thrashingjustin it's not just the 19 hp that's different. It's the way it's delivered. Like he said it's a different motor. Much more aggressive and race inspired power delivery. You need to drive a real type r to understand
k20a type r didnt have forged internals.
You got 2 cents im tryna make a dollar
Over exaggerated..... It's really not that different K20a2 and a3 is just eco K20 other than a few changes on power output and fuel it's the same....
I wouldn’t have called this “ITR vs TypeS” but more of just “me talking about RSX/Integra/DC5....”
Greasy Style yeah I wanted to see a race
i owned a dc5r and it is a 100 times better than the type s. Brakes interior suspension headlights taillights and most importantly the type s is single legger as in not lsd. i made 168kws atw with bolt ons and ecu upgrade.

You missed so much info on the differences between the two!
Way more differences than just Badging and RHD...
Any chassis that initially can with the b series typically had the preferred double wishbone suspension as opposed to the newer and cheaper MacPherson struts. Throw a K series on to any double wishbone Honda and you have a winner
I still have an 02 rsx type s with a 164k miles still break necks and running super strong for a 16 year old car
There are so many differences between the 2 cars...

The Cpack Type R didnt have a rear wiper, 05-06 tails were different between jdm and usdm, and some didnt have moon roofs
The C Pack DID have a rear wiper. Standard models didnt.
No JDM Type Rs had moon roofs
You're telling me a bolted and tuned K20 is going to put down between 350-450hp?
🤔
Man from Nantucket ....Yeah, and the oil pump, piston rings, pistons, end bearings...not to mention leaking around the oil pan...will get you 1000km TOPS if you daily and feather the throttle.

Bahahahha right what a ricer
That'll gain 3.5hp
Man from Nantucket turbo can be considered a bolt on
Well yall wrong cause my home boy is k24/a2 frank build stock and with pump gas he pushing 340hp if e85 or any other racing fuel he can be almost 400hp

Thats kinda nitpicky dont you think
The differences are the Type-R DC5 has an LSD, Brembos with aluminum control arms, Recaro seats and a lip kit and lighter rims.
Yup I love my DC5❤️

The RSX type S is a dumbed down version of the ITR. They are actually more different than they are the same tbh but great video I liked this a lot
Who r u?
lol u dumb rsx is better
omg my car made your video!!! Thats awesome! :20 seconds in
👍
The information given here was so all over the place....
An itr dc5 to a dc5 is the same as an itr dc2 to a gsr dc2, almost different cars all together

Yall got some sweet cars.. I'll be supporting your RUclips
Thank you bro appreciate that
I have a Ivy Tech 2.2 L but it's still with the whole dc5 it's fun to drive for a a daily Rider but I want something to be able to move quicker whenever I shift down second gear is always long and then Acura but still if you want a daily Rider this is your car pick it love it Tuesday enjoy it
Japan also has the Integra Type S Version like the RSX-S, same interior but obviously RHD and the rear taillights of the Kouki or Face lift version same as the Type R ones. Engine are JDM K20Z1 not the K20A
I have a turbo RSX-S myself with Type-R Brembos and LSD.
illiminate boys sent me!! love your content! keep it up
Appreciate that !
The Type R just has all the good stuff the Type S dont have
made a good choice to subcribe !!!
good videos keep it up !! props !
Thank you appreciate that
Tuned In Tokyo u should dm am trying to wrap my civic
3:26 thank you for showing us a true Mugen valve cover and not a fake.
I'm a srt4 guy but I learned on my 92 integra GS-R b17
Just bought a Type S
That was awesome!! Good vid!
Super dope seeing how you guys break it down don't stop bluing cars because there built not bought
Itr has a higher compression and makes more power than a type s. That's why I'm saving up to drop a 05/06 k20a itr motor into my 01 civic sedan instead of doing what everyone over here does and cheap out on the k20a2
The type r and rsx are completely different cars, it’s like saying a c class 2.2 diesel is the same as a c63 amg 😂
Very informative, I didn’t know there was a Honda Integra, so cool bro
I wish my rsx type s was the same as a dc5R, did this guy just skip everything?
Type r has lsd type s has no lsd the chassis on the type r is welded different too there's knotice able differences then just the badge
This series is awesome!!!!
In terms of motor it's similar, but I'm terms of complete package, it's entirely different. Best way to put it is like a cheese burger to a big Mac. Both got the same Patty but the big Mac has the little things that makes it better.
Pretty sure the Type R DC5 has more aggressive cams than the Type S. Different manifold too.
I own a JDM 2006 Honda Integra Type-S. My DC5 is right hand drive. I plan to replace my headlights. Will the aftermarket headlights for the RSX fit my Integra?
Question what type of blue is that at 1:36 ?
Type R is a whole different level....it's in the name surely all car guy would know a Type R is miles ahead of any lower model... 10-20bhp more, lighter, brembo brakes, stiffer chassis, LSD
Cool video. Straight to the point.

U just earned yourself a New Subscriber 😎
The k24a2 from 06 08 TSX best k series hands down
the dc5 is my favorite honda and frankly it’s probably my favorite car period
SneakerKnockerz yea mines too, I was very excited about the new Honda type r but it just didn't cut it for me only the performance but not the body style, so I'm just gonna keep my 06 type s
Cus you drove other cars in its category?
Miller Gonzalez the new civic type-r is trash and over price...40k for a mugen version...I’ll rather get an MKIV or an NSX...
For the price the Dc5 is king but in its category id say theres better cars
I have an 02 jet black AcuraRSX yes still in developing my project car or should I trade and go for a Type S? Help
Neff DeathWatch type s are good if you have the money but that doesn't me you can't do anything to base models. I still see people who mod a3's and even boost them.
Alex Gourdine thank you sir I am starting slowly with stage 1 turbo intercooler like they said but than again I wanna focus maybe type S
Night hawk is the term your looking for sir. I own a 03. She's beautiful
Ryan Wilkinson I appreciate that trying to make my beautiful like a mini batcar takes for me time probably be done with my project car in 3 years school and part time
Need to buy that Acura RSX type S
i drive an e30 but i still love me a good honda
Song yong ho swap a vtec into it
I came here to see a track race and a drag race and the differences between the two. I didnt click this video for you to tell me about the history of Honda motors I already know that
The jdm version takes 100 octane the highest we have in America is 93 so they can't sell a motor here u don't have the required fuel to feed it....
You need to learn about the differences in the suspension between the 2 generations. That's what is important. Honda specifically changed the suspension from Dual Wishbone in the front to McPherson strut design specifically to get better performance around one specific track in Japan. That's it to beat the older DC2 ITR around a track. Doesnt mean the newer design was better all around other situations. There are more limitations to the McPherson strut design where the older tried and true winner in all designs dual wishbone out performs. Where the older DC2 with wishbone with a K motor can actually out perform a DC5 ITR in other situations based off weight transfer in turns. You dont see ITR K swaps in the Japanese Racing video collection they only raced the DC2 stock for stock.
Really liked the video, hope to see more of these
More coming soon
Title: "tuned in tokyo"
Speaker: "this is Giovanni"
Love these vids keep it up
Where can I get the body kit of the Acura RSX in the thumbnail of this video? I have an 05 and would love to get that kit for it.
Also I don't think type r has sunroof and other weight saving things like aluminum lca
Hell yeah this was an amazing street racing car, fun to tune up and symbolized an era.
Got 2 Dc5s! Who else has 2??

Got urself a new subscriber bud
Great educational video! Thanks for taking the time to talk about us Honda guys!
More the come 🙌
@Tuned in Tokyo, hey man I don't wanna sound like a complete prik but at 1:29 you mentioned FA5 yet show a picture which appears to be an FD chassis or FD2 Civic Type R.
The North American market had the FA5 while believe it or not Honda of Japan loved the way the Canadian only marketed Acura CSX looked they used that as their template for the FD2. Just to let you know...~
hahaha
Totally the opposite of an educational video there are MANY different things about the ITR and Type S than just badges like this dude says.
I was wonder did Honda discontinue the ITR with the 2nd gen RSX (05-06). Most ITR version I’ve seen is the Body style of an 02-04 and not the 05-06
I own a jdm dc5-r and i can tell: Totally different cars
DC5 06, sells for 10/18 kiwi dollars for medium to good example with low ks.and we only got the JDM .. no Acura.
Thanks for the educational video I am a 2014 Honda Accord fan I know it's a big car but I've done some stuff to it and it's pretty quick
Darin Hill quick or fast? Show some times
I had two integras one with a b18C and b18b so I swear by the b series
dude, im sorry to bump u . but there aint no " acura RSX is just simply a rebadging of the integra R without no much of a difference ". it is a whole lot difference
What name did Honda give to the TSX and TL in Japan? It’s just an upgrade version of an accord?
Bro i have a 12 tsx special edition 6mt. Please help me with getting power. Who offers the most support
Can't believe I just found this channel! I love JDM! I've been following JDM 4 about five or six years now. From the VTEC BWAAAAAAHH to the Supra PFFTTTTTTTTT AND THE subbie Rumble. Love what ya do man...
Sooo someone explain, which one is better, the ITG or RSX? Because I’m confused😂
Great video! However, the Integra DC5 Type R it was also sold in Europe!
Oz atCAMS wasn't sold in the UK. I wish it was
is funny how u would just swap the head of a k20a2 or z1 into the tsx block. they both have true vtec. don't swap nothing lol. why pay 2g on a tsx k24 engine if u just going to used the block. get the crv or element or accord k24a engine. u can pick up one of these engine for 300 or less in craigslist lol yes is lower compression but u save 1700 buck.
anyone know what the rsx type s wheels are in the thumbnail???
I only live 6hrs away idk why its taking them over a month to ship my package to me. It gettin cold now i need them hoodies.
My future first car 😮
Redeagle17 it's a great car. It was my first car
Amazing car man still have mine 💪
Tons of wrong info in this. Even basics like who acura is vs Honda.
Where would I be able to find great aftermarket upgrades for a 2006 rxs type s?
thanks for the vid but you should put quick rundown/general overview in the title...clicked into it thinking you had two on hand to do an actual comparison
My step dad just told me there was no such thing as the Acura rsx Integra type r he said there isn’t one that exist that I don’t know what iam talking about.
How many times did you have to read the Wiki page?
Hey buddy I have a Honda Integra 2003 DC5 but I don't know is it RSX or type r? Please explain mate
Type r only japan
I use to street race Honda's back in the days, but when i got into v8. Its was a lot cheaper to power up there HP compare to Honda's. Less money well spent.
Not one mention of the LSD. that’s probably the most important thing I’d mention and want for my type S 😢
Bro is that it? Seems like u haven’t known enough about the dc5r compared to the type s. At the minimum u didn’t include the difference between gear ratios, final drive ratios which makes a huge difference in acceleration. It’s not just the badge and rhd.
