I was originally planning on getting a 98 gsr, but after certain circumstances i have to settle for a 94 gsr. I just want to know what the differences are between the 2, engine and looks-wise. Thanks.

 

the rear bumper is noticeably different. 94 is more rounded off & 98 has like a bar-like structure on the bottom. i think the headlights might be slightly different but you probably can't notice.. unless you're try to fit a kit on or something.
the ecu.. obd1 in the 94 and obd2 in the 98. the 94 would be better for you if you are planning to mod your car w/ hardcore performance upgrades.

same engine.. b18c1.

 

it depends on the condtion of each, but if they were both in the same id go with the 98 it has the updated front and rear bumpers, you can get a conversion harness and run the 0bd1 ecu if you wanted

Yeah the headlights are different and if you wanted to get the 94-97 model you will have to change the headlights as well.. stick with the newer model less exterior modifications will be deeply appreciated later in upgrading the car's appearance if you like that type of thing!

 

do both produce same power. i hear different numbers...171, 172, 175? which one is it

rear bumper is different, front bumper is different--the front bumper near the headlights angle in while 94-95 are angled straight.

-94-95 have different rims

 

id go wit the 94-95. obd1 is easy to tune.

 

Only a few physical differences but the most important is that the 98 GSR is OBD2, and the 94 GSR is OBD1.

 

I wonder if this has ever been covered here before? Hmmmmm

 

got this off team-integra




Differences 98-01 front bumper is more aggressive looking
98-01 rear bumper has air dam
Headlights are different size
Bumper lights are different size
98-01 taillights are all red, 94-97 has amber turn signals
94-97 steering wheel says "Acura", 98-01 steering wheel has the "A" symbol
98-01 have a just a fuel lever, no hatch lever
Styling lines were added to the side mirrors in 96. Pre-96 Integras had smooth mirrors
Side door moldings were color-matched to car’s body color in 97 for LS models and in 95 for SE models
ODB II Introduced in 1996
Keys have computer chip built-in in 2000
Exhaust system changed in 2000
96 up valve cover on LS is flat across over the cam section, 94-95 cover has raised parts over the cam section.

 

Climate control appearance changed as well.

 

I would have a 94-95 GSR over any other year. Prettiest body, imo, and it's OBD1..... If you had gotten a 99 you'd be stuck with the OBD2 inspection junk which would limit/restrict you quite a bit...

correct me if im wrong 97 and up has different side mirrors.

 

This is very insignificant, but my friend tha owns a 95 jumped into my00 gsr and noticed that I have seat height adjusters. His 95 gsr does not have them.

nope

 

i think the different mirrors started in 96. Go to http://www.team-integra.net and look at their articles it will answer your question completely

 

the changes are very minor. the front and back bumpers are diffrent, the headlights and turn signals are diffrent. the rear lights on the 94's have amber instead of all red. btw i have a 2001 champ white rear bumper for a 4 door.
its also good to know, that if you happen to have a 94-97, 98+ parts fit right in. so you can get the front, rear bumpers & headlights and they bolt right in to your 94-97 without any problems.

the climate control changed from the 94-97 to 98 and up? anybody have pictures of the two...any would be greatful

 

I'll congratulate you early for whichever one you get. Either way I'm sure you'll be quite happy.
Enjoy!

 

The ecu is a OBD1 in the 94, also the front end of the car is diffrent the front end by the headlights are more at and angle for the 98. The rear end is also diffrent. The side view mirriors are a little diffrent on the 98 then the 94.
