I'm extremely new to the integra and I was wondering the differneces between the GSR and the non Vtec cars? Suspension, block, crank, intake, exhaust, interior, exterior, etc.

 

welcome.

please take advantage of the search function, answers are there, we promise.

 

Let the Flaming begin.........

 

Non-vtec has a bigger displacement, and the vtec motor is physically bigger.

 

I think you answered your own ?

 

ummmm.... the GSR has VTEC???

Did I win anything?

 

it does?
i was always wondering what that little emblem was on the back of my gsr...i had never heard of dohcvtec...thought it was japanese or something. Oh, i suppose it is DOHC VTEC.
wait so is vtec like turbo?

Team-integra.net is full of good articles and info but check out this chart it will tell you everything your askin about.

 

GSR
Non vtec

 

The vtec engines have higher compression and the ability to rev higher. Both have dohc (Dual OverHead Cams). Vtec stands for variable valve timing. Honda developed the vtec technology to allow their smaller engines to breath better and rev higher to produce more Horsepower. I'm not super technical on the subjects but those are the basics.

To all those with the high and mighty additudes ---- Lose them or just be quiet. The guy said he is new and was asking legit questions. All of you didn't start out as vtec honda gurus. Be nice

 

Also, the GSR, (as opposed to the RS, LS, GS, SE-non vtec models), has slightly larger brakes, stiffer supension, strut tower brace, etc.

 

Same Brakes.

Same suspension (shocks, springs) But gsr has larger sway bars and yes a front tower bar.

 

one has vtec.. the other doesnt..?

 

About 30hp more on the GSR....

 

aww man non vtec gs-r ya thats right! haha

 

shoooooot ls/vtec!!!!!!!

 

You Me

 

 

theres one main difference....
generally speaking the LS (i.e. non-vtec) is way underestimated!!!

 

just to be a dick....

word not everyone is a honda know-it-all

 

many things are different......especially internally in the motor. You may want to do a little research on the net, and come back with any questions you may have, because there are many cars to compare and contrast.

At the top is the Type R, then GS-R, etc. Now they are at the top stock-wise, but with modifications, this may change.

 

I would agree. If your not redlining through every gear, the LS is just as quick. I may be wrong, but I believe the LS engine hits its torque peak sooner than the GSR engine. I know I'll catch some flak for what I'm writing here, but for everyday driving, there is not that much difference.

BTW, hears another kicker for yall. I had a Neon Sport before my Integra. It had the DOHC 2.0 150 hp with the close ratio trans. It was just as fast as the Integra and I put 150,000 miles on it before I traded it in. The Neon was no Integra (not near as well refined or engineered), but it was fast.
