Remember this EP3 that was here over the summer for the JDM 5 lug conversion? Well it’s back to complete the other part of the JDM-ness, that’s right, the K20A and all it’s glory.
Preparing of the JDM K20A.
Currently sitting somewhere outback in the dump.
Buddy club sports shifter box.
Buddy club header.
Hasport rear engine mount, again… highly encouraged with the used of a race header.
Buddy club spec 3 exhaust system, sounds just like the old DC5 🙂
As the car sits today, below is a shot taken from 2 years ago.
“The ARC Product is wonders assenbiled project. They present comfort-able and unknown car life with ARC power.”
HUH!?
“ARC supplies only high quality products which contribute to environment since established.”
YEEEEEAHH…
The ARC super induction box focuses on low, mid, and high engine response. When stepping on the gas, in between the cleaner and the intake manifold is unused air. ARC invented this Induction box to utilize the unused air and give it better airflow and better response. This unit is also a direct bolt on.
• Big capacity box makes excellent intake power
• Larger opening for air to go in
• Funnel provide stability and response of high intake
It feels like forever since we’ve done one of these projects. Glad to see there is still one or two local fellows out there with interest.
What we have here is a JDM DC5 5 lug conversion that includes calipers, rotors, knuckles, control arms, trailing arms and sensors. The front knuckles were taken from the parted out DC5 track car, so bonus goodies include once replaced complete hubs, extended studs and J’s Racing roll center adjusters. Also from the parted out track car, Swift front and rear sway bars are to be installed.
The front lower control arms received our regular treatment of SuperPro polyurethane bushings. This is a must for the DC5 and EP3 platform, these cars suffer from lack of castor.
Much is to be gained from this affordable upgrade;
• Constant steering geometry
• Better on road handling and control
• Traction control, more responsive steering
• Longer service life of suspension parts
• Increased tire life
• Extra off road stability
• Alignment correction and stability
TEIN Super Street coilovers will be used on this EP3;
TEIN Super Street damper kit was designed for drivers seeking improved handling on the street and at the track. A shortened shell case is utilized to allow the most piston stroke possible, which allows for a better ride at lowered ride heights, and increased grip at the track. Great for daily driving and occasion track use, whether it be at the drag strip, local circuit, or Auto-X course. Includes both ride height and damping force adjustment to allow the driver to dial in the suspension for various surface conditions.
The Seeker Heavy Shift Knob is made over weight compare to the OEM one, 400 grams instead of 140 grams. This gives for a better shift while driving. The knob is fully made in stainless steel with a TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) coating which grants a strong resistance versus oxidation and a good feeling when touched with bare hands. Features the SEEKER logo and shift pattern which is laser printed on the surface. A perfect knob for a perfect car.
This shift knob is available with two different shift pattern, please specify which you would like to have upon purchase.
The Evo Garage Mugen DC5 race car has longed for this day, first time out after the upgrade to its suspension, mounts and tires. The old Öhlins came out in place for Mugen N1 coilovers. Alex race mounts were replaced with Hasport billet mounts using the super hard urethane inserts. After maxing out the capabilities of the Yokohama Advan A048, both of the DC5s are now using Hoosier R6 tires. Even though with a wonderful performance, target times were not met this month. Much anticipation will be expected from the Mugen DC5 after some fine-tuning next month.
Another Saturday afternoon, enjoying some Starbucks… sitting around, talking about cars, taking some pictures of a couple friends transportation devices.

The ARC Super Induction Box was firstly designed to improve an engine response at low, middle, and high RPM. The second advantage is the efficiency of funnel. It prevents the negative pressure which occurs in between the air cleaner and intake manifold at the time of On and Off of acceleration, and enhances response by rectifying intake air flow.
Structure of Box
• The structure of box provides big space to hold large amount of air. The distance for intake of air is shortened and provides intake air with enough room.
Curled Funnel
• The large amount of air stored in the box is efficiently and smoothly sent into the engine. It brings better response of acceleration in all RPM.
Air Filter
• Double layer sponge filters. The resistance of air flow is minimized by adopting flame lamination (heat welding) and no adhesive is used for a part of joint.
