Are there any certain model years of the DC2 Integra GSR that tend to be "ringers"? I figure that they should have about 140-150 whp but Ive heard that some have 155+ whp stock. Also, did the gearings or final drives ever change through 94-01?

 

Honda has been known th make some of those "ringer engines" but i dont think it has any thin to do with year. Some say that obd1 engines (94-95) have been known to be a little quicker but honda still rates them the same. I have a 00 GSR
with an i/h/e and msd cap and coil I dynoed 165 whp in 85 degree weather so I guess thats not too bad

 

thanks.

 

94/95 run a tiny iota faster/produce more power

there is absolutely no concrete evidence or proof showing that obd1 (94-95) tegs were faster/produced more power or whatever when compared to obd2 tegs.

Yeah, it might be true, it might not be. There was no concrete evidence. They do say that OBD1 respond better to modifications. It is "easier" to work with those cars.

And no, the gearing and final drives on all 3rd generation Integras were the same between model lines. (For example: LS's had the same ratios and 4.266FD the entire production line, same with the GSR, and the Type R). Note that there are differences in non-USDM cars.

"they" meaning in general?

obd1 is required in such applications as hondata, uber etc. so i guess it is "easier" to work with because obd2 wouldn't work at all.

 

If I do get an Integra it will have to be obd1 because I cant afford anything newer. Just wanted to know if there were any pluses to buying one so thanks
