What kind of integra do U have

I'm just wondering what kind of cars you guys drive . I'm getting a 01 ITR phoenix Yellow . hehehe spank up on some rustangs :) . Currently im driving a 93 honda accord

'94 Integra GS-R sedan, Jackson Racing supercharger (soon to be rebuilt by Endyn) at 6 psi, AEM CAI, DC Sports 4-1 SS header, Mugen exhaust, Auto Meter Boost and A/F gauges, powerstop front cross-driller rotors with Axxis Metal Master pads; Koni yellow shocks and Eibach Pro's 1.3" lowering springs going in this Saturday (2/10/01).

sweet

I've got a 2001 ITR, Phoenix Yellow.
It's pretty quick, but Im always seeing this guy go by that looks just like me in a 20th Anniversary Maxima with like 5 hot chicks in his car. Not to mention he can about hang with my car. Yeah, my integra get's some attention because its yellow and Im in High School, but I should have thought in the long run of getting a little more mature, and wanting a smooth luxurious ride that has some kick in the a$$ performance!!!!! Oh well, I guess Im stuck with a banana on wheels!!!

Hahahah, just kidding man, the ITR is pretty nice but you know how I feel.

Hope I didn't offend any ITR owners. Im just picking.:frog:

Damn ....lol brett u wanna just shove a Maxima in my face hahahaha its all good . I might get the Max after all this is over with b/c i think i have to wait till June . And im sure by then the ITR will no long be avalible to me :( SO i guess u do get ur wish after all .....but now the hard part ...stick or auto ?

I would get a stick, i don't think it would ruin your "Luxurious" status. Plus I'll teach you how to "drive" that beast. Then again, the auto would be pretty good. You can always add peformance to it.

Pro's of stick:
1)faster
2)funner(catching some wheel and squeal)
3)better gas mileage(while racing, maybe not)
4)cheaper

Stick or Auto, you'll get mad props from me!

I GOT A '94 INTEGRA LS, DUMPED WITH A SYSTEM TO KILL FOR.:smoker2:

I have a 2000 GSR.:D

green '95 LS automatic 2dr.
i wish i had never bought it.

well you can see in my signature what i drive....

maximas are hella dope, fastest sedan in it's class.....sumthin' like 260 horses w/ massive torque....and i'd get the stick as well....

95 Green GSR 4D : AEM CAI+WBV, Comptech 4-2-1 & SS catback

Looking for boosting options. Really really don't want to lose those beautiful headers.

yeah i'm looking for boosting options as well....need an opinion poll or sumthin, but here's what i can tell you right now...

types: nos, turbo, sc

1) nos: cheap, and powerful, thou pretty much only helps you out in drag, road racing and such, you'll lose when you run out of laughing gas.....easy to blow up your engine if you don't do it right...."bottle feeding is for babies"

2) turbo: probably the best boosting option imho, but expensive, and requires much maintenance, and actually the only street legal kit that i know of is the greddy, which maxes boost at something like 12 psi i think (normal is 7). if you decide to do turbo, i would suggest at least redoing your bottom end if not the whole engine rebuild...ie. rods, pistons, valve sleeves, springs....hella weak low end, but awesome mid to high end

3) sc: nice boost, recommend jackson racing over vortech and others....boost at 6psi, easy bolt on, easier to maintain, and do not need to upgrade other parts of your engine....100k mi warranty....good low and mid end response, but tops out before you hit high end...

turbo is such better technology, using wasted exhaust fumes to add additional power to your car, whereas sc uses belts, and your driveshaft, so actually you are losing power to make power....sources say that you must boost 5psi higher in a sc to get the same power as a turbo....

just my 2 cents, anyone feel free to add, but please don't criticize what i've said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion....and i've been doing research for a while now, and still can't decide....i'd opt for the all out turbo if i had the ends to back it up....but it's kind of a tossup @ this point.....

It seems like anyone researching boosting options should start with texan's articles on this board (in Automotive Articles) and Corky Bell's book. Neither is sufficient to turn somebody into the Einstein of boosting but they both bring a lot of useful information together (and they're fun to read).

Regarding your points, here's a couple of ideas (not flames):

1. There is no such thing as a free lunch but you can find a useful compromise. For example, turbos use "free" exhaust energy but also induce backpressure (and possibly reversion). Superchargers are parasitic drag, using belts, but also don't induce backpressure. Roots blowers add to the low end but run out of breath up top. Centrifugal blowers are great up top but are tied to engine rpms (so they aren't much down low).

2. Honda engines are tough right out of the box. Even with their high compression, they can still handle low-moderate boost with minimal impact on service life (say <= 7-8 psi).

3. Everybody will tell you that the option that they paid for is the be all and end all. That's human nature....

Personally, I'm favoring the Vortech right now because it looks like it'll make power if used properly, should be straightforward to tune, I probably won't blow my engine by surprise and I don't drag race. Besides, my Comptech headers are so so pretty and it'd be a shame to lose them to a cast iron turbo manifold.

"Gosh, I sound like I know what I'm talking about."

I'd recommend getting the Vortech pretty much as your "last resort" option (of course with the absolute last resort being reserved for nitrous - hey, it kicks ass at the strip, but for the street, it's just so damned limited). With the Vortech, you get the negatives of a crank-driven supercharger (loss of torque associated with driving the belt - note that turbos are technically superchargers, they are just exhaust gas-driven superchargers), coupled with the negatives of a turbo (turbo lag), not to mention that I've heard from some owners who have suffered damage because the boost is so non-linear. Its nature makes the fuel system and ECU work very hard to try and keep the air/fuel mixture "correct," not just for maximum horsepower, but also to prevent the engine from damaging itself.

I'd go JRSC if you want to go SC, or else get a Greddy kit if you want to be legal, but I know people driving street-legal cars with Rev Hards, F-Max's, and other turbo kits. I'm not sure about all the particulars of the California emissions laws, but if you don't live there, it shouldn't be a problem. There are ways to get through smog tests. Also, I know a guy with a turbo on a ZC engine boosting up to 18 psi using a Greddy kit. That little turbo is pretty capable, and shouldn't be underestimated.

I love my LS 4DOOR integra. Whats up with the dude that doesnt like his 95 ls?? You must not have done shiet with it yet. I just love the way my car looks, sounds, handles, accelerates... By the way WTF is all this "bottle feeding is for babies" crap and this "when it runs out" BS, well what are you gonna do when you run out of gas? REFILL! NOS is safer and more reliable since you can turn it ON and OFF and not wear and tear on your engine all the time, plus it is $500 rather than $2500-3000. HMMMmm I bet you can guess what Im getting next! :flipa:

Well, I'm certainly listening to what you say but it's very puzzling. Aren't we talking about the purest form of linear boost there is? Boost = f(rpms), instant on, etc. Admittedly, at low rpms, a centrifugal supercharger doesn't make as much boost as at high rpms but that's the nature of the system. No like, no buy....

In contrast, a turbo is almost non-deterministic (outside of the steady state of "it's been floored for five or more seconds"). Boost = f(rpms, wheel sizing, housing, etc). This where you find true lag: that is, the time between "I wish I had boost" and "I now have some boost" (not necessarily max).

Overally, I'm in favor of all flavors of boost except those that induce tip-in detonation.



I'm not sure about all the particulars of the California emissions laws, but if you don't live there, it shouldn't be a problem.

I live in Rhode Island. CARB can piss off. ;)

Tip in detonation with roots blowers is a bitch, but I don't know of that many that run into this problem. And it's nothing that a little dyno time won't fix. I'll take that chance over a smattering of "I wish I had boost" turbo lag ;)

Well I hope you enjoy your NOS as much as I will...I drive 1994 Integra GS-R with a Type-R Engine, Intake Manifold, Transmission, and Crank Shaft, low compression pistons in my engine, Greddy Stage 4 Turbo pushin 16lb's of boost, performance headers and ECU to let me redline at 10,000 RPM's, performance clutch and flywheel, short shifter, AEM cold air intake, and Tanabe Racing Medallion Exhaust, and many other small things...NOS will probably put me in the ten's...I hope :flash:

Holy shit!! That's a serious set-up you've got. What kind of 1320 can you pull as is? I'd imagine that if you've got stock ITR cams you're losing a little power, but with all the mods you've got, I'm sure that you can find yourself in low 12s or even high 11s. What can you run (and what kind of peak horsepower can you push) ?


Also, what kind of NOS set-up are you thinking about? I'm toying with the idea of a two-stage, 25 and a 50 shot.. but that's way down the road. That will come after I've mastered the tuning on what I've got now, and am looking to drop my ET's a little.

Hey Thanks for the compliment it took a lot of money and time to do all that...still working on it some...I have replaced the CAMs by the way so the power is very well solid throughout...I was thinking of doing a straight 200cc shot hahah just kidding...the dual stage set ups are really good because you don't waste everything with one go...sometimes 1 shot of 25cc is enough to do what you need so I will probably do something very similar to what you are doing...I won't be doing that for a while though either...I am preparing for NOPI next year and am starting to save up for JDM conversion and custom paint job and rims tires and lowered...I run about 12.0-12.5 quarters sometimes I get 11's...I need to break the engine a little more before I go for the full effect of the turb at 15 lbs of boost and I am trying to be careful not to break anything...but at 12 lbs of boost and shifting at 8000 instead of 9000 or 9500 I don't ever thing I will shift at 10000...so I still got plenty of juice I haven't used yet...but I run about right at 12 all that being considered...I push about 500hp and 400lb/ft torque or so I am supposed to have not been able to dyno yet but working on it :) will keep you posted..

I have a yellow integra type r with all the goodies I am also in high school and Alot of chicks dig the yellow :smoka: I am gonna be in the Import scene for awhile I love it Alot of Illegal racing goes on In Washington DC and i live like 10 minutes away So im usally there on saturdays..... Of course u always get ur Dumb Muscle head Football player who drive a Beat up Camaro or Mustang Calling u a Sissy because u drive a Yellow rice burner..... Just tell em Uasslay Guys who drive Muscle cars have small dicks they love that especally when u say it infront of there girlfriends:flipa: :flipa: :flipa: :flipa:

hey turbotype-R....nice setup, but how do you have a turbo and a performance header?

hey man. I have a type -R header...I can't use a high performance one because the compression would be too high

I have a 92 Integra RS. It's stock except for the K&N filtercharger, CD deck and rear speakers. I have plans to add a header (comptech or DC), a Random Tech High FLow Cat, and a Greddy MX exhaust in the new year! Maybe a body kit later!

I have a 95 vtir or GSR as you call it. Mugen bodykit, Jasma Extractors, R Spec Vtec Controller, Spoon Struts, Tanabe Coilovers, Tanabe G Power Medallion Exhaust, Zepter Rims, Pioneer and Alpine Sound.

2001 Nighthawk Black Pearl Integra GS-R

I have a 2001 JUN powered GSR. Also running CTR pistons which in a GSR=@12:5:1 compression.

I drive a 92 RS auto (I wish that it was standard)stock except for K&N Filtercharger, JVC Elkameleon deck, and 6.5 Sony Xplod's in the back speaker mounts. I wanna change it to standard, Greddy or Comptech header, Greddy MX exhaust, and a DC Sports DAC with Cold Air Extension. Will be doing some of that in the spring/summer next year! If I ever get enough money maybe a jackson supercharger!

<-------------------------:cool:

good question JD I was wondering the same thing....

hey 92...why don't you save your money and just trade it in for a better integra? GS-R or Type-R instead of making all of those expensive conversions?

yup..very low indeed:smoker2:

hmm i dunno wat sort mine is, its a jdm vtir, which makes it a sir, but then is it an acura, cos i have acura badges on it, so its a gsr, hmm in NZ they are vti r, hence the TOY VTi and all!! so ill say .........:confused:

bet you guys haven't seen one of these in a while.Hehehttp://photos.onebigvillage.com/image.asp?id_=75885

GET A GSR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:sun: :devil: :alien2: :eek: :D :rolleyes: ;) :( :) :o :p :p

Everybody in my area has a third gen Integra, so i want to be original and put a b16a1 in mine.And it would be faster then a GSR too.

aighty...for any of those who knew what I was doing to my '94 GSR...I have a final list put together of what is being done, and my Type-R engine is do back from CA the week after Christmas, I will have pictures as soon as I get it back...for those of you who are interested here is the list:

Sweeeet ride, man. I voted for it at Modded Cars. Maybe I'll register my car there at some point!! When I see horsepower numbers like those (are those bhp, or whp, by the way?), I kind of think maybe I should have gone all motor over supercharger :(

Mine is still a work in progress; still got some issues to figure out before I can make consistent power and get it dynoed.

There is something in your post that is completly bothering me. You say you have a Greddy state 4 BUT you also have performance headers and an AEM intake? What the hell is that about, you need a turbo manifold my friend. And the AEM intake, unless you somehow attatched it to the cool side of the turbo that doesnt make sense either. Im just wondering and not tryin to flame you or anything but it just didnt make sense in my mind. I saw your other post listing what your doing for NOPI but still.

You were reading my post wrong. The turbo is a future mod.
They asked to post what I would like done in the future.


My future mods will be a Greddy Intercooler along with a Garrett T4 turbo. The AEM CAI and Manifold were stolen from my car a while back. For the time being I would like my ITR manifold back and CAI on my car while I'm saving for my Turbo. Hope this clears things up.

The car is 289 BHP. Right now I have clutch, tranny, and ignition problems keeping me from getting any power. The car feels like it only has 10 HP at the wheels> LOL!

I also plan on redoing my head and bottom end. I think my LSD is gone bad also.

This is the price to pay for abusing the car.

Ahh allright thanks for clearing things up, i didnt realize you were also listing things that you wanted to do in that post.

Whats up everybody. I have a grey 94 LS 2dr Integra. My rides got 17" Konig racing rims, typeR spolier, its lowered, and has intake and exhaust. My baby purrs when I cruise down these streets and it gets all the boys attention when they a chic behind the wheel. LOL

ok here is the deal as far as this goes...and you won't do anything to hurt me because I never explained...I got the intake and headers before I did the Turbo and everything else...that first post you referred to was before I knew I was going to Turbocharge and had the money to do so....but since that it has all changed and works with the Turbo...I have a Turbo Manifold :) It just has all changed very much in the last few months....sorry...lol

What the hell is a turbo manifold. No such thing.

What ever he means he still needs to get a life.

Well maybe he means the exhaust manifold which he will need for the turbo and wastegate to mount to.

And a chick in a LS integra w/ Intake, Exhaust and 17in. wheels doesn't impress me figuring she's not going for any speed or racing.

Jungliss- I wasnt referring to you at all in my first post to begin with so I dont even know what your talking about. I never had any questions regarding your setup.

TurboTypeR- Thanks for clearing that up and not being a dick cause I questioned you:) . You have a damn nice ride and Im looking forward to gettin my integra in about a month now.

Some of you guys crack me up (Jungliss). A turbo manifold is needed for a turbo set up..well what do you know. It replaces your stock manifold so that it can bring unbrunt and basically wasted fuel back to the turbo and into the combustion chamber. Do some research on a turbo system or cars in general before you try and flame someone "get a life".

Here is a picture of a turbo manifold (and a damned nice one at that!!)

http://hi-techexhaust.com/images/honda/hturbo.jpg

As you can see, they look dramatically different from non-turbo manifolds.

Thanks JD for backin me up on this one by postin a pic. By the way do you know who makes that exact manifold?

http://www.public.asu.edu/~shane99/turbo/IMAGE101.jpg

That's also a custom turbo manifold. Infact....the turbo manifold which I've got an order in for! Not to mention it's gonna come w/ that Tial Wastegate and 57trim Garret t3/t04 turbo.:bloated:

Actually...a 'turbo manifold' (aka: exhuast manifold) is needed to replace the header (OEM exhuast manifold). I support you in not flaming - but on the research part...you seem a bit confused. The 'turbo manifold' is used to direct exhuast gases to the turbine - to spin the compressor wheel within the turbo and therefore push air into the motor (which is what a turbo does).

Err actually, the manifold sends burnt exhaust to the turbo, this is what will make the turbine spin, then fresh air from a filter attatched to the turbo or a pipe attatched to the turbo w/ a filter is mixed in with the turbo. The manifold will also be used to mount the wastegate which will releave the system of extra pressure when you let off the gas.

O..to post on the topic of this Thread:

I have a errr....Canadian Edition 2000 Integra Type-R model

:D hahaha

Canadian Edition because I left it white..and it's got "gunmetal" rims (00-01 only) and in Canada they got Champ White in 00-01 (lucky).

hehehe

it's got a "carbon fiber hood" and "Recaro SRD" hehehe
