Question Mods for Type R

OK. So I am getting a Honda Integra Type R (2001). What kind of mods should I add on it? Anybody know what the Honda Integra Type R costs in the market right now? Please specify the currency.

An 2001 ITR usually goes from $20K-$24K USD

as for mods, headwork is the first thing I would do.

dude screw buying a integra type r... go out and buy like a 97-98 teg and "type r" it out yourself. ill probably cost you less or equal to the cost of buying a new teg r, but you get to customize it yourself. plus if you want to mod a type r then why even buy a type r in the first place. most moded cars are better than a type r anyways.

yeah...the sunroof adding more weight in the top of the car..therefore decreasing handling ability is no big deal..plus you get to buy those super-cool Type-R badges!!!!!

Integra Type-Rs are built for handling and pure fun It is unique in everyway and you can still customize it yourself

Honda Integra Type-R? I thought that Canada possessed Acura just like we do here in the US?

madtown is correct - they usually go for around $20K (USDM) The JDM HONDA Integra R is usually even higher since it must be imported...settle for an Acura..only a few small diff.
I've seen JDM ITRs (this was an older 96 JDM R - the 4-lug one) for as much as $25K!!!!! For a 96!! (Japan only)

Headwork is good..as well as a good quality exhaust and air filter (as well as headers - if going non-turbo route)

peace
boi

A cylinder head is what directs air/fuel in and out of a motor.

It houses the valves, valvesprings and cams. Also..the intake and exhuast manifold (header) is attached to it.

So...more air = more power.


The OEM Integra Type-R head is MILDLY ported and polished. To increase air flow..therefore increasing power.


Porting and Polishing is when the air paths are 'ported' (basically widened - to increase the room for air) and then 'polishing' to smooth the flow of air (less turbulence = good hehehe)

Also..clarifying for everyone (as this annoys me).
It's HEAD when we're discussing 4-cyls and other inline or boxer config. motors!! (Type R, this isn't directed at you - you did it right ) On a V8 or another V style motor you have 2 heads. On an inline or boxer you have 1 << ONE!!!

alright...that's over


Type R - I don't see your questions as stupid!!! I think they're great questions and they're the kind that will help you learn.

Check out:
www.howstuffworks.com << amazing site..search for engines.


Also...you cannot be younger than me 14 in the house!

Less turbulance isnt always a good thing, no turbulance around the intake valve = no swirl which means poor mixing of air and fuel = poor performance.

and a boxer engine normaly has 2 heads. one for each bank of clyniders.
VW/Audi also makes narrow angle V5, and V6 engines that have a common cylinder head.

Its alright to be wrong, your still young.

So yes. I am younger than you.
How do you port/polish?
I want to do it to my Type R when I get one.
I'll make my parents buy it for me.

hahaha..i thought you were older because you said "I'm getting a 2001 Type-R"


O well..someone beat me (actually..I think I'm older than Hanguk....)

Porting and polishing is a very professional and SOMEWHAT complex operation. It uses lots of tools that I'm to poor to have...and skills I do not possess

Just..read up like I did
