I'm thinking about get an Acura Integra as a second car (more like a project car), I like it for a few reasons but I would like to know more about it. Such as is the LS the base model then it goes gs then Type r or something like that Anyway any info would help.

 

Check the specs on edmunds.com
Also check out honda-tech.com forums, you can probably find absolutely everything about those car over there, how to disassemble it, assemble it back, which mods you can do, which blocks work with which heads, find cheap parts, even whole cars with swapped engines so you don't have to spend extra $ etc etc.

 

So much crap on these cars its not even funny..

H22 in a civic HB FTW.

 

It's GS, LS, and GSR. The GS and LS comes with a Dohc Non vtec B18B1 with 140 Hp and 128 lbs-tq and the GSR comes with a B18C1 with 170 hp and 130 lbs-tq. And the Type R comes with a B18C5 with 195 HP and 130 Ilbs-tq.

 

Actually it's the RS (for older models), LS, GS, then GS-R.

All 3 come with power windows, door locks, remote entry, etc. The LS has cloth seats with the B18B1, GS is the same as LS with leather seats, and the GS-R comes with the famous B18C1 DOHC VTEC motor. The B18C5 comes from the Type R.

Many people swap out the non-VTEC B series motors for either the B18C series or H22 motors from Preludes. Personally I would swap in a K20A motor with some motor mounts from Hasport.

You could also do what is called a Frankenstein motor or a LS VTEC mod.

 

ok here is some real help...get a really nice alarm and good insurance...i love hondas but the market for stolen parts is amazing and its hard to hang onto a nice car once you have one

 

Thanks guys, I've been looking around and found a few that I like, I'll shoot for a GS-R between 95-99 Hopfully I fine one, Luckly my girlfriend is going to give me a hand on buying it I'll have to pay her back but that's fine. I'll try to keep you up-date, but i have one more question. What does Long block and short block mean? Thanks again and yes I'm a noob

 

long block is head and block...short block is just the block

 

+1 when u go into the honda/acura forums, don't be surprised to see how people had their cars stolen, stripped, recovered, rebuilt, stolen again, and again. good luck

 

^^^ For real... The "Teggie" has been the top "Most Stolen" vehicle for many years running. Think the Navigator beat it out this year though... But it has got to be the most mod-friendly car on the road. Type honda forums in Google and you'll get all the info you'll ever need.

BTW, my brother drives a Honda red LS, Silver CF hood, Edelbrock IM, sri, and Apexi exhaust... Real nice ride !

 

man, listen. i had a 528 whp civic hatch with a B-series and 300+whp on a stock B-series engine is a reality. definitely a great 2nd or project car.

 

There are many models to the Integra. RS,LS,GS, LS SE, GS-R, Type R. There are also 4 generations of the Integra. 1986-1989= 1st gen. 1990-1993= 2nd gen. 1994-2001= 3rd gen. and 2002-2006= 4th gen. (known as the RSX in the U.S.). I would suggest a g3 Integra because they're nicer, reasonably priced, and faster than the others. Also, don't get an automatic. Lots of people that do egret it when they realize that it's not as fun or fast as the manual versions. There are also 2 different body styles for the g3. 1994-1997 and 1998-2001. Good luck, and check out www.team-integra.net for more helpful information about the Integras.

 

Do us a favor and try not to rice out the Integra. I hate when people do that.
