Default > New ITR Owner...

hi there buddies...
I dont know how to start this introducing... but...
I Just a few days ago I bought my first ITR...
to be exact is a 2001 Acura Integra Type R Phoenix Yellow, Clean Title... i get it with 63K miles on it, just got a little poke on his right fender... not a big deal... im not sure but the itr reg. number is the 0668*, well this is my first ITR and its awesome, im very surprised of this car, the handling, the stability, the response, the engine sound, whoaaa!! hella addicted to hit vtec hahaha...

and also i got a few questions and i need your help, so there it is..

- Wut kind, type, brand, of OIL & OIL FILTER did you guys recommend?
- Wut kind, type, brand, of spark plugs did you guys recommend?
- I would like to put Individual Throttle Bodies on my ITR, but I have no idea of all that is needed (apart from the ITB's) ECU? Fuel Management?... ? ? ?

Greetings!

Congrats on the purchase!

If you can, get the Honda oil filters with part number 15400-PLM-A01 on them.
The new 15400-PLM-A02 filters are made by Honeywell/Fram and are kinda flimsy.

Stock plugs are NGK PFR6G-11.

Congrats, looks clean! <3 PY!

Not sure if this was done before the guy sold it to you but the cars got enough miles on it where its a probably a good idea to get the timing belt + water pump changed.

I use Castrol GT-X and Honda oil filters. I will use Fram when I am to lazy to go to Honda and get ripped off on a filter.

I use Royal Purple and the A01 Honda filter.

I'd get some seat time with it in stock form before upgrading it. What kind of driving will you be doing?

Honda uses 2, Fram and FILLTECH. The FILLTECH filter is the one you want. Ask for it by name.

IMO, use the kind of oil that has always been used in the past. OE plugs as well. Now days the OE equivilent from the parts store are about as much as what the dealship sells them for.

Same here on the Honda filters, once my case of A01's are gone, I will be looking at a different brand.

Nice pick up.

Congrats!! and enjoy and regarding the ITB'S if you do them on the stock motor dont go to big (50mm on B series good enough) get a good engine mgmt. (hondata S300 OR AEM) and find a really good tuner and one thats familiar.. Lots of people find them hard to tune .. also if you plan on DD your R itb's might not be a great idea..
