[gowdaflow]

If these cars had the exact same set up, who would end up as the winner? EK9 or DC2?

Can't decide whcih one I like best, love both!

[Dante007]

Tsukuba Circuit <3

[h8mivec]

[mikeschmeee]

I LOVE JDM TYPE R!!!!!!!!!11111

[DcEvoIX]

that would be such a hard choice if I was told I can only have 1 between a ek9 and a dc2 type r, I am in love with both cars and I used to have a 96 type r swap best engine and tranny I ever felt I loved every bit of it but it leaned out when it was boosted and bye bye, I hope I have another 1 someday

[MrRevenantify]

tsukuba circuit?

[pacman599]

@MrRevenantify Yes

[JohnnyR187]

The video is 1997 and the DC2 is 2000cc and the EK9 1800cc they made even a name tou the engine B16C ahaha they have stroker kits from then and in greece we saw stroker kits for B-series engines after 2001 ahaha

[area220sucks]

drafting won!!!!

[matt82etc]

one handed racing hero!!

[Douglas6250]

understeery car ???

[rais135]

1:29 vtec kicked in. love that sound!!!

[fg2stro]

@jkatman. ??? dnt understand tht sorry lol, wats it mean?

[fg2stro]

the crazy final drive gear set. i wud love tht in ny but at the same time my gears are already short and mpg would be down the drain but iam jealous of their gearsets

[jkatman]

@fg2stro the luzl!

[DcEvoIX]

@fg2stro if you are talking about the stock 4.4 don't worry about it I had a itr swap it was still great on gas the 4.7 is so so if compared to most v8's and v6's they are all pretty good

[b0ss6769]

On the first round the Integra was definetely running with ITBS ! Listen to that vtec noise omg ! :) 4.9 final drive defo.

When racing against the civic was it with inlet and air filter fitted ? cause there's a lot of sound difference :)

[xjeaniewaslikepopx]

this race track is in forza 3 haha :)

[favrooom]

@KamikazeC1991 check your vin on your registration paper... they tell you a lot of things :)

[tempeztad]

Soooo unfair to have a daihatsu to races against those bullies

[09204418448]

LOVE THE AGRESSIVE VTEC KICK SOUND.

[JOELOVEALICIA]

i ain't a racist, but i really feel sad whenever i see hispanic people dress up their hondas like bitches!!! clear taillights, curvy spoilers, barbecue meshed bumpers....... fuck that shit ...

[jkatman]

@JOELOVEALICIA I feel that same way when any race disgraces a honda. But good thing clear tail lights have died out! lol

[JOELOVEALICIA]

@jkatman hahhaha!!! i'm an asian with a HK ancestry and thats why i like amber and red!!!!!

[b0ss6769]

@jkatman

thats china on your car.

[ManuelDr]

@jkatman Drive around Boston, you'd be proven wrong. You should see the new headlights now, the're black with LED's like the new Audi's, awesome.

:|

[09204418448]

@jkatman Clear Tails WAS My Favorice for my Civic when I Was 5. When I Was 8 I Learned about JDM, Spoon And Mugen Things. HAHA. I Put back my Stock Ek Tail lights, LOL

[DcEvoIX]

@jkatman the bad thing is they still left them on the cars so now we gotta pay a couple 100 just to get the real jdm 1's when we find a clean car with those retarded altezza light people need to understand they look good on the is300 cuz that's their stock tail lights are cars look like shit with them

[585Lowrider]

@JOELOVEALICIA Ok im hispanic and i do not like all that body kit "ricer" bull shit. keep it nice n clean JDM. so dont assume ALL hispanic people do that

[dopamineluv]

@JOELOVEALICIA I doubt you feel sad about stereotyping a group of people and assuming its only hispanic who roll like that the only person you should feel sad its about yourself and this is coming from a honda lover and ex-owner of a very low key no mods EG6 with a B18c5 well thought out suspension and chassis mods (no body mods) integra disc brakes all around (ten years ago), now I own a SI sedan. I have no respect for you, LOL @your mannerisms "like bitches" & "fuck that shit"... sad clown...

[mauricioalfredo83]

@JOELOVEALICIA yep...but I feel the same for any car when they put led light even to exaust :(

[hernandadmx]

@JOELOVEALICIA its over now.. My friend had a clean b18 civic si... dropped on gt3 rotas. tein suspension.. Then a whole bunch of mojos around the block got his rims and cut their springs to get their car like his. The clear taillight trend is over...

[fat09]

I wish my EF was that fast :(

[JOELOVEALICIA]

@fat09 hahah dont give up bro!!!!!!!!!!! work hard for money u will finally get that fast-ass ef

[fat09]

@JOELOVEALICIA

Fasho man!

I sure will try!!!

[fat09]

3:57-3:59= NO ABS :)

[ovietec010]

Lol at 2:19 a Daihatsu....the only car who can outclass a Honda ..xd

[nadpomorzanin08j4]

@ovietec010 /Fail, its 1986-1994 Honda City II gen :) so it cant outclass it cause its Honda :p

[jkatman]

@KamikazeC1991 certain body characteristics can be dead giveaways of which model the civic is. You just have to do your homework to learn the visual differences. The numbers after the chassis code represent the model grade. Usually the higher the number the better the model ie. EG3/4=VTi (sohc vtec), EG6=SiR (dohc vtec), EK4 = SiR (b16a dohc vtec), EK9=CTR (b16b dohc vtec typoe-r engine + chassis has been reinforced in areas vs. lower models). Enthusiasts mostly like the higher grade models tho

[bustedpiggybank]

@jkatman u just did his home work lol :)

[tanikz]

whats the car at 2:18?

[sanjoriot]

teg holdin it downnn

[kczhen91]

totally DC2 stick behind EK9...BTW..i still love EK.....love my EK mixup with DC2.typer

[celis281]

wat dash is that on @9 secs

[margillister]

i ♥ my DC

[JohnnyGasTank]

you can shift any car quick and hard, each one just has its sweet spot on the rev range is all, find it and it will click just as quick no matter what drivetrain you are dealing with. its where torque and horsepower peak, which is always at different stages, the sweet spot is in the centre of the two. like a roller coaster just ready to tip over the edge.

[chimimac]

5:44 Vtec crack so hard!!!!!!

[eknisees]

great video katman, thanks for share it.. great battle imo!

[jkatman]

@eknisees you're welcome!

[Edisawesome992]

fuckin kids down there arguin...why is the honda scene so full of drama sometimes?

DC5 is the chassis code. chassis=shell. USDM and JDM shells are the same exept for the firewall. in US they call it rsx, in Japan they continue to call it integra. now is that so hard??

[shaggyz6]

EK was smooth like headed to the movies. DC, like an episode of cops ;)

[aayuuB]

i would kill for that vtec... point blank...

[vtec82]

wondered why the 2 rwd miatas pulled out of the race? hmm..

[seanny88]

That EK9 is very competitive and same goes with that DC2R but i think Ichishima kept locking the brakes and EK9 driver was driving consistently :) Great vid!

[TLFD27]

both type r's are all motor

[MyJDMIntegra4]

Gotta love Tsukuba lol...fav. course without any question.

[turbotimer1]

the ek9 missed shifted at 4:21

[matomiguel]

i love the sound of hondas

[Naturepheonix]

Hay this track is on Enthusiastic racing!

[patman1237]

that whistling noise from the intake is ITB noise from the velocity stacks. listen to any good quality onboard of a honda with Individual Throttle Bodies and they sound that way. it is especially evident when he downshifts, the blip causes that whistle.

[sk8nrocker23]

what a close and awsome race! I wonder what kind of final drives ( or gear sets ) are being used in either car? Ive driven in, ridden in, and seen many type R's, and i know the gears were close, but the gearing in these cars seemed to be even closer.

[b17ek]

i just love seein these two go at it (ek9 & dc2)

[jdmgsr1208]

sickk hondas

[DragonInfraXtremeRGT]

ew a geo metro

[RacsQT]

he still race. .he race at macau grand prix with his spoon nsx

[therpk11]

oldie by a goodie.

[4ageAtlantic]

mr. spoon was a FEEL's driver wayback, word is that he did'nt became one of their top drivers so he packed-up and started spoon. he's just a so-so racedriver wannabe but he sure as hell a good tuner of honda's. though some say that he just used/copied FEEL's style and know-how.

[obidr]

u know who the dc2 driver is.... MR. SPOON himself.... and he was actually a real driver back in the days... guess hes out of shape...

[97CivicTypeR]

fuck me that ek9 has grip O.o

[sonraz1]

i wounder if they jack cars also like in america

[llubu2]

no.. lol DC2R driver is shit, Can't tackle the corners well

[97CivicTypeR]

shit?

i think inferior is the word you were looking for...

[meatdept]

Driving Excellence....=]

[fasthonda]

K20's in the best Type-Rs!

[addz91]

DC2 for me - love the utter shape of them

[rgeneration]

love the way the power is straight on as he shifts into 3rd in the teg r, would love my honda to behave that way. two great cars by a tuning legend!

[ITRTAYLOR116]

you know i would like to know gear ratios for the civic please if u can

[oinkurrboinkurr]

damn talk about perfect power shifting

[R18SEDAN]

love the ek9

[0991ekul]

1:48 understeer ftw.

[OmarA27]

yo did the civic let him pass on 6:12 or he  knew that mr . spoon was goin to pass him????

[jkatman]

Civic let him pass.

[nuocmat]

@jkatman

lol dc2 ftw

[spp360]

this track is in foriza motor sport 2 the game

[usoofat]

the dc2 has itb's.....

[WICKEDBARREL1]

cool

[PeterLikesAsianGirl]

now that's some Tight ass gear ratios, Mr. Spoon.. I like that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear..

[gresty3540]

i agree the dc2 does sound like its boosting when on the cockpit camera but its most deffo N/A.

Awesome driving and awesome cars. Vtec FTW.

It says the ek9 is b16 1800???? and it says the dc2 is b18 2000????

[jkatman]

both EK and DC2 were stroked engines.

boosting DC2..lulz

[Ninjewk20]

that vtec on the DC2 is nasty !!

[jdmxdb8]

I <3 Spoon Sports!

[Grod247]

FUCK, did you hear the DC2's engine right at 2:54

[mogul1265]

You can bang the gears in a honda like no other car.

[wanvaldez]

@mogul1265 true statement....i have a WRX that I love but you just can't shift it like a Honda

[xenoo4life]

@mogul1265 I totally agree...

Watch the video from 0:55 to 1:50 and tell me....

Do you still think Double Clutch Gearboxes and DSG's and paddle shifters are better??

I've got three words for you... Old - School - Honda

[AccordGTR]

@mogul1265 eh not really...after a few hard races, the synchros start to go. I try to baby the gears so I don't have to spend a lot changing my synchros twice or thrice in a season of racing like the other drivers

[PeterLikesAsianGirl]

damn. both are fast. depends on whoever's the faster driver. but itr was always the faster than the b16b.. oh well.. close race for both..

[hondaishere]

Specs for the ctr says b16c 1800cc.Thats wierd.

[h1coupe]

probably a stroker kit. but the b16b engine in the ctr does have the same block as the b18c in the integra so making it 1.8l is fairly easy, only need to swap out the crank and the rods.

[xmechman93x]

b16c bored to 1800cc maybe

[rsnupt82]

wow.... ichishima-sans integra is so sweet.....it was nice to see him drive it........ man listen to him rip through those gears...... this is absolutely one of my all time faves.......

SPOON SPORTS LEGEND

[achir21]

that DC2 revs so high ... about 9500rpm if im not wrong :s....

[kleengizr]

the R is fkin sexy as hell

[lerlo]

I hear a TURBO

[rsnupt82]

I hope you're not talking about that vtec screaming in the integra, cause u'd look like a total ass if u were.

[lerlo]

No i hear a hissing sound behind the engine sound, like a turbo....dont you find the vtec alittle muffled maybe due to a turbo in there...

[mogul1265]

Na its all motor, if it had even a low boost setup it would be much much faster.

[disturbanceindustry]

That whistle top-end is common in the b18c's. My friend's poorman style b18 does it past 7k rpm. Sounds amazing IMO.

[donovan772]

@disturbanceindustry my b16a2 does it for some reason too...

[kristiandwell]

that ek is freaking sweet...

[ilvi3tkidxx]

looks like it understeers wen entering ...

[rkremer]

This vtec sound mean and sharp!!!!

[seanESG]

For how fast his entry is the understeer is minimal. Of course there will be understeer in fwd

[djrmonix]

Don't get me wrong I have a DC2 but to say it has virtually no understeer. Are you watching the same video as me. Quite alot of understeer on corner entry!

[kingcato2000]

Yea thats what i saw also. Very evident in the time attack.

[ezalcinoryahoocom]

not if even if the integra had a stock engine and a and elephant in the trunk

[ABUNAI888]

a b18 civic could beat them both.

[seanESG]

That DC2 has almost no understeer.  Spoon is amazing.

[BENCHORD]

Thats exactly what i was looking at.

set up pretty rigid.

[kingcato2000]

From what i saw it seemed like had a lot of understeer, especially in the time attack.

[defprun]

The DC2 integra did, it was rediculously apparent when the driver tries to brake late.

[accord333]

Nice video! Thanks for sharing :) If you have some more Videos of the Spoon DC2 ITR please upload it. Godbless :)
