You are indeed mistaken. You can easily verify here:

The ITR crank is heavier because of two additional counterweights. Does anyone know the weights?

I was searching for that thread.

I'll blame Acura for misleading information regarding counter weights. In their <u>1997 Acura Integra Type R Technical Information Guide</u>, they present many things as unique to the ITR that are already standard on the GSR. Here is their spiel on the crankshaft.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Acura &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The Type R's highly rigid crankshaft is made of forged , high-strength steel with eight full balance weights to reduce vibration at high RPM by 20%.

The journals of the crankshaft also feature a special micro-polished surface finish for reduced friction and increased durability.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

lol werd. i was reading the type r faq on t-i and they also say the itr crank has two additional counterweights. then i found that thread.
