School me on Integras
Hello Honda-Tech, New to the board, but been lurking for a while. ive been looking to sell my Mustang gt and get an integra.
In June, or before that after my clutch is replaced, im selling the mustang. im selling because a car payment at this point in my life is not exactly the best idea. also, since i have the car payment, i also have to carry full coverage on the mustang, which is ~$1900 a year just on insurance. and its a v8 so it drinks gas like none other. buying an integra would be more economically friendly for myself, but still allow me to build and play with the car.
after the mustang is gone, ill have about 4500 to spend just on the car. the integra i get will be boosted. the last few weeks ive been doing quite a bit of research and it seems the best model is the gsr. the GSR's are more costly than the other models but the performance out of them seems pretty nice. how do these cars hold up at 150k+ miles? is it bad idea to put a t3/t4 at 160k miles? secondly, what can these handle on stock internals, and fuel injectors/pumps?
also considering the RS/LS model. these seem to be more in my price range. again, what kind of power can these handle on stock internals, injectors/pumps? how well will they hold up against a turbo at 100K+ miles?
these only rev up 7k rather than 8 or 9 like the GSR. how do these respond to boost?
it seems the ones ive seen online have rust in the rear quarter, but is there anything else i should look for? how do the trannys hold up on these? whats a motor rebuild cost?
also interested in learning about the D series motors.
any links/information that could be provided would be helpful.

Re: School me on Integras
You're asking far too many questions to be answered in one thread. The Forced Induction questions will most likely be answered by an hour's worth of research on your behalf in the Forced Induction forum.
By the way, if you want to skip building an Integra, you can just buy mine
. It has everything you need and more...a simple retune will put it over 425whp safely with a new boost controller. That's more than enough for any street setup. I say this because i've been looking into getting an S2000
