Argued by many as the best model Integra ever. In 1990, the Integra was outfitted with the front-end design that would build a legacy and ultimately was going to last for the next 11 years (in Japan). The 2nd generation began the real Integra surge and was one of the pioneers in creating the import car scene that we see today. The 2nd generation Integra was given the larger 1.8L B18B engine which was able to output 130HP and 121 ft-lbs. torque.
In the 1992 model year, the Integra was to be changed forever. Honda created a new model for the Integra, a model which was going to be the object of Integra loyalist's desire for the next 5 years, the GS-R. The GS-R separated itself from the rest of the Integras by introducing the B17A engine featuring Honda's infamous VTEC (Variable valve Timing and lift with Electronic Control) system as previously seen in the NSX outputting 160HP and 117 ft-lbs. torque. The GS-R was only available with a 5spd. manual transmission. An automatic transmission was not and option and never will be on any VTEC Integra up to 2001.
Truly the GS-R was something to send Integra fans buzzing. Many people gained faith in the Integra after the new addition and thus began it's road to becoming one of the most popular sport compact cars available.
Trim Levels
RS: Regular Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. The beginning model was about as stripped down as the previous generation. It came standard with a tilt steering wheel and rear window defroster only.
LS: Luxury Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. Standard features included those on the RS plus cruise control and cassette player in 1990. In 1991, power windows and a moonroof were added. Power door locks were also standard in 1991 on the sedan model only.
GS: Grand Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. In 1990, it began by offering power windows and alloy wheels over the LS model. In 1991, power door locks and moonroof became standard on both the coupe and sedan.
GS-R: Grand Series Racing. Became available in 1992 and was equipped with Honda's soon to be legendary DOHC VTEC technology in the form of a 1.7L engine outputting 160HP and 117 ft-lbs. torque. It had the same standard features as the GS and was available in coupe only. No automatic transmission available, if you want VTEC in the Integra, you gotta go manual.
