hello,
Love hondas got a civic now (first car) and looking to upgrade soon. I am looking at an Integra. I know this may be the wrong place to post but i cant find a more appropiate area. I am just curious because i cant find any performance figures for the VTI-R or the TYPE R whats the big difference between the 2? my goal is to get a turbo set up to produce about 300kw at the wheels which will be better for this. I live in australia so the models may be different so. Can you please help
Thank you

 

depends on what your goals are... if you aren't planning to go all out, a type-r would be better. otherwise, most of the r goodies would be binned in favour of aftermaket items if you were to make something more interesting.

there is a huge price difference between vti-r's and itrs too... in the region of $10k. which buys a helluva lot of upgrades...

 

Just wanna to ask, how's the feeling of the Whiteline Castor kit?
Worth to get?

 

i just snapped it... so erm. hehehehe

apparently i'm the first person it's happened too though.

but in terms of feel, it was good. steering felt a bit heavier, and the car tramlined heaps more, particularly with the semi slicks on. it seemed to marginally improve the steering feel and midcorner grip.

i am buying another one from them though, so i guess that either says i'm stupid, or i liked it enough to put up with the downers

 

Uhh..... VTI-R is this what the GSR is called over in the land down under? you mean B18C1 Dohc Vtec equipped car right?

I think so.... anyway, most people here say a GSR is a better Candidate for Boost, lower compression and much lower initial cost.

Besides, any Turboed GSR will smoke a stock Type R.

So, I guess it all depends on how you want your car to turn out in the end.

Turbo.............. get a GSR (or VTI-R whatevers)
N/A................. get a TypeR.

Of course there are turboed type Rs and Built N/A GSRs too, but that's just how most people break it down.

 

OK. I'm not a newbie to the whole integra scene, but what's a VTI-R?

 

isnt a gsr in japan or whatknot a SIR-G or somthing like that.. VTI-R isnt that like a CTR?

i know the VTI is a Civic Si in canada but i have never heard of a VTI-R

 

integra vti-r = sir-g = gsr

*thumbs up*

 

Wow, thx for the break down, never knew there's so many names for the gsr. But i think you should just keep your civic, and throw a gsr engine in it, it'll be fun.

 

i'm betting the vti-r has a power rating of 180hp and the ITR over there is the 200. i'd go vti-r regardless. ITR has nothing special that you wont end up replacing with your power goals, you'll just spend more initially for the car. the ITR does have a certain pimp factor to it.... but i mean, c'mon, the vti-r is sweet. we dont have them here.

i bet his block isn't stamped b18c1... thats a USDM block stamping. the vti-r i bet is stamped plan old b18c or maybe even b18c3 or b18c6 like the new zealand cars.

 

b18c2 is the code. it's actually rated at 125kw, which ithink is around 170hp.

so nothing special here.
