i could make it quite fast using turbo kits and etc made right here in the usdm!


jdm

EDIT: jdm front end is only thing i like. but unless it goes rhd its not jdm.

 

:bow: jdm front end!

 

Gotta agree with you on that one.

 

Yea but if you do turbo you cant boost too high without doing alot of tuning and some internals which means $$$. Like that guy with the turbo Type R I saw the best of a 14 in the quarter and he has spent well over $3000 and Im right there with him and I have yet to break $1000. So yea I guess you can do more but keeping it N/A its a great car. By jdm I mean header maybe higher comp. pistons etc...

 

put a thicker headgasket on there and lower the compression COUGH*inlinepro*COUGH. or use cometic headgasket.

 

i didnt say u had to go turbo and i know its expensive. im just saying.

 

type R

Start with the GS-R motor then add:

Large-diameter throttle body and single-port intake manifold to maximize high-rpm engine efficiency
Hand-polished intake ports to improve engine airflow
Increased duration higher-lift camshafts for improved engine breathing
12-percent lighter intake valves to extend engine rev range by 200rpm
High-compression (10.6:1) low friction pistons
Forged-steel crankshaft with eight counterweights to reduce vibration at high rpm
Large diameter free-flow intake and exhaust systems
Aluminum oil cooler maintains optimum engine-oil temperature

 

Thats cool I wasnt trying to be all arrogantexcuse me if I came off that way. I was just trying to give an example on how turbo isnt always the best nitrous is *SNEEZE* I mean N/A excuse me....

 

Huh? NOT EVEN.

Differences Between ITR and regular Integra:

Motor:
Different Head (B16 casting)
Different Throttle Body
Different Intake Manifold
Head is Hand Port and Polished
Lighter Springs and Retainers
Higher profile cams
Different Lost Motion Assembly
Lighter Crank
Titanium Alloy Rods
Higher Compression Pistons (Moly-coated)
Better Oil and water pump

Tranny:
Factory Heli-coil LSD
Better Gearing
Better Clutch/PP

Chassis:
Upgraded Sway bars F&R
Reinforced chassis points

Brakes:
Upgraded brakes F&R
Upgraded master cylinder
Different Proportioning valve

Wheels/suspension:
Type-R Specific wheels
Upgraded shocks/springs
Type-R Specific LCAs

Body:
No body side molding
Type-R specific wing
Type-R Specific Front lip

Interior:
Black Suede (alcantra?) Seats with red stiching
Titanium Shift knob
Amber clock
No soundproofing
No Sunroof (to increase rigidity and allow helmet space)
Vinyl Headliner (so helmet wont damage it)
8500 Redline Gauge Cluster

There are probably a few other things I forgot.

Some of the more interesting facts are that the car is built on a seperate assembly line from the standard integras. Some of the panels are even stamped differently for added reinforcment and the Chassis is reinforced at critical locations (this can NOT be duplicated on a GS-R). The engine is Hand assembled and hand Port and polished. The car is basically a race prepared street car. It doesnt handle or drive like a GS-R. I own one And it is the BEST handling FF car ever made and I DO race mine (SCCA). They are also limited edition. I cant remember the numbers off the top of my head But I believe the TOTAL number of ITRs imported to the USA is under 7000 and they all have individual Serial number plaques. 97 & 98 were Championship white only 00 & 01 were Pheonix Yellow and Nighthawk Black Pearl.

The bad part is that everybody wants one but since they cant they imitate it.
Civic Type-R: Never imported to the US
Prelude Type-R: NEVER MANUFACTURED
Accord Type-R: NEVER MANUFACTURED
Accord Euro-R: Never Imported

Funny how I see these fake Rs daily

ummm..there is an accord type-r..they had some articles in super street on them..plus ive seen them in person in the islands..
