I raced my friend's gsr and he beat me by a few car lengths, but i never really had a chance. we both have just intake. I think the type r will win handily

 

My niece's boyfriend has a Type R. With only a CAI on my CL, he beat me everytime.


Then I got i/h/e/n2o, and kick his ass everytime!

 

But by how much? Was his car all stock?

 

It's been 2 years, but I think he may have had a CAI and possibly some exhaust work.

He was running 14.8 to 14.9 in the 1/4. I was running 15.8

 

man if i were you get a job and get a fucking 50 shot of nitrous even a 25 if they make it so u could beat his ass and keep that rep cause once u decline u automatically lose my friend especially in high school. i remember when my frind got his damn talon he wanted to race me so badly and i said no and people hated on me for that. so race him!!!

 

yeah that same guy has a talon too, but i heard today that he had the type r engine dropped in there so i cant tell by the outside, i woud race his talon but i would hate to get dusted by that integra, his integra is purple, with euros and a body kit, rice all the way......

 

While you are looking under his hood, casually unplug two of his spark plugs. Or loosen up his throttle cable so he can only punch it half way.



















j/k....lol

 

haha thats awsome

 

What exactly does it mean to "hit VTec"
Go ahead and cry "newbie" or whatever.

 

 

Aw, at least answer the question.

 

If it is a real Type R he will beat you. The lighter car wll get you off the line; you will probably lose to him.

Where do you guys race? Is it at a track, or street? If you say street I'll have to smack you street really isn't worth it, this was in another thread:

is a rep really worth all that, and what happens if you cause a wreck? Just my 2 cents, I'm all about to each their own, just be safe and if you can at some time kick his ass with your CL!

 

Dude i promise you will get bitchslapped by the type R. Even a GS-R with just like e/i/h would be just as bad. Don't even attempt it untill you get more mods.

you shouldn't have a rep for being fast with a stock CL anyway

 

If you check your friends type-R it should be four lug. 97 is the first year type-R and has four lug suspention.

 

Oh yeah, also, type-R's aint no joke, you will get smoked.

 

to my understanding all TYPE Rs are 5 lugs and also he said taht he has a regular integra with the engine swapped in so he wont be able to tell.

 

keep in mind that in racing we have loser and winner Bro!.......also what the point of having one and not having fun of it!...i m always up for challenge!

 

being a loser is not that fun to me, thats why i asked the question so i wont get smoked::: my friend said he saw the engine and he said that it had a black top cover on it, does it have to be red or what? he said the the black covers are a gsr's motor....does any one know if it matters?? he was telling my friend that it was an illigal motor form japan or something...

 

i think this guy is full of BS, black covers are just LS and GSR the R has a red cover if i were you i race him. you really should do u happen to have some extra cash?? shell out the 600 for the nos and smoke his ass!!!!

 

just look for the all mighty 5 lug or look on his door jam and it will say what model it is on the sticker. illegal motor?? maybe it just doesnt pass emissions

 

3 pages on this? this is common knowledge.

car vs car
itr will hand ur ass to you
gsr will take you
and civic si will take you

assuming its an itr
unless ur racing down the highway at high speeds u have no chance to even catch up. last thing you'll hear is him chirping them into 2nd while you watch his tails get smaller and smaller.

if you dont know what ur racing against dont do it. you should also know if he can drive.

aside from the first prelude h22 vtec's and s2k the itr is one of the fastest hondas in stock form. (nsx is in a diff class)

 

whats an itr?

 

o.. nevermind last post.. heh heh..

 

At low rpm, your intake valves follow a set of low-lift, short-duration cam lobes. At aprox. 3500 rpms your engine transitions to high-lift, long-duration cam lobes. simple answer = it makes a but more hp.

 

dulux that doesnt exactly answer his question, llwesman hitting vtec is something you wont experience in a SOCH CL because we cant feell it, we cna only hear it. but in other cars EI integras they have DOCH when Vtec enganges you can feel the pull aswell as hearing a noise. to answer you question vtec is the cams switch from low to high. but its only at very high RPMs. vtec is overrated

 

sure about that? on some honda/acura cars its pretty noticeable.

 

i;m not saying its not a good feature but they way some people talk about it " well yeah i got Vtec and you dont" and all taht crap thats how it gets overrated. i;ve been in my shares of my integras off course its great, in the SIs too!! but its still overrated!!!

 

Damn it...I've said it before...I'll say it again.

Please stop thinking VTEC is your secret weapon.

Its not that its some super duper thing since Toyota and BMW have the same exact thing (VVTL and Vanos respectively).

Its just that we don't start making any noticable horsepower TILL we hit that range. Make no mistake...We're slow as shit.

 

DOHC=Dual Over Head Cams
SOHC=Single Over Head Cams

not soch and doch, just wanted to let you know.

 

my mistake my typo! i say it in my head but dont think about it when i type it.

 

dont forget mitsubishi uses the same principal on its motors also. dont get me wrong, vtec aint no secret weapon, but the difference between my wifes integra gs and my buddies gsr is distinct.

 

GSR is no slug. GS is a waste of time. Its night and day between the two cars.

 

ok,i found out today that that ricey integra i have been talking about is a GSR motor that came from JDM, so can it beat a 3.0cl with CAI?

 

i think you might have a chance just gotta powerbrake of the line to at least try and be even with him.

 

....for VXCL

"3 pages on this? this is common knowledge.

car vs car

and civic si will take you"

I'm gonna have to disagree with the part where you state that an civic SI will take a 3.0
It all depends on the driver, but when i was stock, i beat my homeboy's SI. At the time he had I/E/H/P, cam gears, and bored out trottle body. I beat him by a bumper, close ass race, but i still beat him, over and over again as long as I had the launch. It's not like its impossible, just all depends on the drivers. My other firend has an SI, and i took him out sometimes when i was stock. But yea, a GSR and a type R will smoke that shit out of us in stock form.

For aguyfromHARLEM....

So you say he got a JDM GSR motor. Itz not illegal unless he's running an OBD1 set up and has his car straight piped (even if your car is 96 and above, you can still set it to OBD1 with some ecu chip). Then it would be illegal. But regardless, yea, he's gonna fly down the strip. GET NOS...it'll be the only way you have a chance.

 

Bringing this post back. i have a 2.3 cl, and the integra gs was nothing, so i bet your 3.0, some mods, and take on a gs-r, i think they only got like 170 hp or so, and like 128 lbs torque. even if you can beat him in the 1/4 mile, you still got him in top speed, just keep on going, the GS-R tops out at like 118 mph, unless he took out the limiter, if he didn't you got him there.

 

The GSR DOES NOT top out at 118mph thats for sure. I've ridden in my friends stock GSR at 138 when he let off and I think it could have went a little more.

 

tell him he can race me

 

i said stock it can't get past 118, he must have taken the limiter off.

 

Mark this is Brandon man. Just thought I would let you know. Did you get your subs hooked up ? I guess Ill hear them at school. Later
