Since I'm new to this whole scene mainly into thirdgen Firebirds/Camaro's "Thank God for TPI" :thumbup What does LS mean in LS Vtec?? I have a 98 Lude non SH H22A4 DOHC 2.2L VTEC. I did notice that there are many different terms that are used like Type R, GSR etc. Can some explain some of the terms that are used.

 

You are about to catch hell for that question! Please read the forum rules and utilize the search function in the upper right corner of your screen. LS is a term given to the engines that come from Integra LS, GS, and RS the engine block code will be either B18A or B18B. Good luck, welcome to hell... I mean Hondatech

 

LS is a non-VTEC Integra, Type R is a the badass 'racing' version of many of Honda's cars, and GSR is a VTEC Integra....that's my basic knowledge, anyhow....

At least you got VTEC right

 

"Catch Hell" This should be fun. My whole life I've been into American Muscle and not imports. So this is a new experiance for me. Glad to see people here helping out the new guy. Thanks

 

People on HT that have been here for some time are proud of their knowledge and the fact that they searched for most of it and found it on their own time. As time goesn by you'll see what I mean, this is the best Honda tech-related site I have found though.

 

duck and cover!!

and by the way...the LS in LS/Vtec is a Integra LS motor that has the VTEC head on it

please fasten your seatbelts and put your seatbacks in the full upright position

if you keep an open mind your going to learn alot,

the ls is a lower model of the integra with a b18b, a gsr has the b18c1 motor in it people take the b18b bottom end and put a vtec head on it from the gsr to make a longer storke dohc vtec hybrid motor

the type R is the top of the line all the goddies bad *** integra model, as you can see if you look around there is a whole forum dedicated to the type r , truly an amazing car and BTW that has the b18c5 in it also dohc vtec

vtec- variable valve timing and lift, electronic control,

 

thick skin.

H-T is full of very intelligent peeps with the answers you need. Don't worry if people rip into you a bit..they will generally give you the answer you need, people just like to douse it with sarcasm.

 

I would also like to add, not to catch hell myself but it's just the freakin internet. it's not to be taken personally in my opinion.

 

Cool. I know there are some sites that people will give you "Hell" and still won't give you the answer. Once again "Thanks"
