I DD an Accord, Honda maniac, I'm selling my RX7 and I'm looking to get an Integra, however I don't know what year. Im thinking something OBDI for the simplicity of engine swaps but ultimately I just want something fun I can take to college and turbocharge without much problem. I like integras because it seems like any Honda engine swaps in fairly easily, b16s, b18s, and of course it has the mighty b18c5 =p someday.

Anyway, End Goal: Have a fun car thats turbocharged and fairly fast so I can take it to the strip/track every few months but really just have a ball with it all the time. Is the integra right for me? Also which year(s) should I look for, I also want leather and power doors/windows, its not ***** to the wall race.

 

Well, if you NEED leather. You'll need to get a 3g (94-01) Integra. The GSR has this trim. I'm partial to the 90-93. I think their body styles are alot cleaner, their lighter too.

Ultimately, it's your call. Hit up the AC forum for pics of each.

 

I don't know if an integra is right for you. I love mine, but I also love rx-7s for the reason they have RWD, great weight distribution and a rotary engine. The rotary engine is also one of the reasons I still don't own one! Anyways, all integras come with popular b series and whether a b18b/c1/c5 they all react well to forced induction and are very reliable. Since you want leather and power doors you want to look into GSRs. OBD1 is from 94-95 on DC (94-01) Integras...

 

I love my 99 GSR....they're fairly abundant and it is still possible to find them with low mileage...also, 98-01 are my favorite year Tegs because i love the way they look...

 

Sums up to a.... 1994 Gs-R? Owning two Tegs already I really like the 94-97 better.

 

Guess there's no DA love in here

Yes there is, it's between us. lol. These folks are just missing out.

 

Well, it dosen't need leather, I could/would do racing seats. I don't like the RX7 because parts are a bitch, nobody has them/the forum is nothing but stupid reposts whining about turboing the NA and 3800 rpm hesitation problems. I don't care much about weight distribution, for my purposes thats nothing tires/suspension modifications can't fix. I just want something fun and fairly fast, and I really want to do/drive my first turbo car.

 

Does the GSR engine in the 94-95 cars take to turbo charging very well?

they all do....also one of your concerns was the OBD1 vs OBD2 engines...to change between the two only requires a $75 harness...pick whichever year GSR you like the best and that fits your budget, worry about OBD1 vs OBD2 later...

 

Maybe this would be found eaiser but are all GSRs 4 door because I would like a 2 if possible.

 

 

no, and more 2dr coupes were produced than 4dr sedans... SEARCH. You should go test drive an Integra to see if you like it.

 

i would go with a 90-93 integra. out of all the cars i owned n all the cars iv driven (including a 00 type-r, 02 rsx type s, 99 si, 95 gsr, 350z, b20vtec ej8 & a fc rx7) da's just stand out to me.
