Hey guys I have 97 RS Integra and was I always under the impression that the RS and LS had the same motor and the only difference between the two was that the LS had luxury options i.e. power windows,locks and sunroof. The other day my friend was trying to tell me that the RS and LS have different motors and that the LS is faster. Now I could understand this to be true if the LS has a V-tec but otherwise I am confused if the LS is faster or not.

 

Exact same motor on both, the RS is quicker due to less weight.

 

The RS is slightly lighter because of no sunroof/abs/pl/cruise....but they are the same motor and nothing is different about that.

 

beat me too it!!

 

same motor! ur friend is stupid, make sure he doesnt work on ur car

 

well put

 

My Rs has power windows and mirrors.. and leather.. but no sunroof..Not as stylish but mad weight reduction yo!

RS: Regular Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. No sedan available in 1998. Model dropped in 1999. Equipped with the B18B1 DOHC engine putting out 142 HP and 127 ft-lbs. of torque. In 1997, power ratings dropped to 140HP and 124 ft-lbs. of torque. As always, the stripped down model. Standard features were a cassette player, rear window defroster, and tilt steering wheel. Cassette player replaced with CD player in 1997.

LS: Luxury Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. From the RS, the LS adds air conditioning, power windows and door locks, cruise control, and a moonroof. In 1998, the LS became equipped with alloy wheels and in 2000 was given a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift ****. The LS is most popular non-VTEC model Integra and arguably best value.

SE: Special Edition. Available in both coupe and sedan starting from 1995. SE's are only found in 1995 and 1996 model years until they were changed to be named the GS in 1997. From the LS, it added leather seats, alloy wheels on all years, and a rear wing spoiler.

GS: Grand Series. Available in both coupe and sedan starting from 1997. Same standard features as the SE.

GS-R: Grand Series Racing. Available in both coupe and sedan. Equipped with the B18C1 DOHC VTEC engine outputting 170HP and 128 ft-lbs. of torque. Same standard features as the GS minus the leather seats. However, leather seats ended up becoming a standard feature on the GS-R starting in 1999. Again, no auto transmission available for this car.

Type R: Type Racing. Available in coupe only starting from 1997. Not available in the U.S. in 1999. Equipped with fully tuned B18C5 DOHC VTEC engine outputting 195HP and 130 ft-lbs. of torque. Check the Type R Special for the technical differences on this car. Standard features were exclusive of the rest of the models and in 1997, included black mesh/suede bolstered seats with red stitching, mid-height rear wing, front lip spoiler, body colored side rocker panels, shaved door moldings, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift ****, power windows and door locks, and exclusive white powder-coated light-weight alloy wheels with 5-lug configuration. In 2000, added standard features were an aluminum shift ****, gunmetal lightweight alloy wheels, and air conditioning. As with the GS-R, no automatic transmission was available for the Type R. But if you were thinking about getting this car with an automatic transmission you shouldn't be thinking about this car at all.</TD></TR></TABLE>

i dont think RSX is an acronym for something. same with TSX and TL etc...

 

Your not going to notice any difference between RS/LS...the RS even has power, all the 3rd gen tegs do. The only noticable thing from the outside is that is has no sunroof like the TypeR. Another thing that I noticed is it not having tweeters in the door panels. I worked on a 96RS the other day, clean car, but its like comparing and LS to a GS..GS has leather and a wing. They didnt really change much between rs/ls/gs. GSR/TypeR are something to compare.

i ran a 15.6 with full interior in my LS with intake,header,exhaust and gsr transmission

 

Do you honestly believe those numbers? Maybe in an auto...

I also ran a 15.6 with just intake and exhaust (LS tranny).
