no such thing as an Integra Type S. If you mean an Integra Type R then tha twould be the better car.

By stating "Integra Type S", you must be talking about the Acura RSX Type S?

If I remember correctly, the RSX Type-s is supposed to be a hair faster than an older Integra GSR.

the type S would take a GSR

Integra S would easily beat a GSR

If our assumptions on what you are refering to are correct, then The i-vtec of an RSX-s is also better than the vtec of the GSR. The "i" stands for "intelligent".

The RSX is called an Integra in other countries.

yep, cuz' Acura is a USA thing.

haha, i am in the US also, but i would rather have an acura rsx be called a honda integra. sry for the confusion.

some people told me that i-vtec covers a wider band than vtec, so when the vtec kicks in the i-vtec engine, it isnt as much as the gsr's vtec? does this make sense

 
Rep Power: 0

i also would like to know when the vtec kicks in the gsr and when it kicks in the type s. im looking to buy a gsr, but i could spend a little more and get a used type s.

Go with the type-s. It has much "fresher" styling and the K20 has more potential.

 
Rep Power: 0

Don't get me wrong though. The GSR is awesome. I had a 98 and sometimes still miss her a little.

 
Rep Power: 0

OOOO, u dont have a gsr anymore?

 
Rep Power: 0

u must really have a good if u only, "sometimes still miss her a little".

integra type-s = rsx type-s

same ****

 
Rep Power: 0

i prefer calling the rsx an integra, cause it really is an integra, and there is no such things as a type s in other countries, thres only a honda integra with 160hp and a type r with 220. lucky bastards.

 
Rep Power: 0

nope. I traded it in for this 03 civic coupe.

^ aww dude...why did you go and do that for?

 
Rep Power: 0

I was driving too many miles. The Integra had to go. Every month that went by brought an extra 3500 miles to the odometer. I was running the poor thing into the ground. So, I bought a civic. Seriously, what better car when it comes to mileage? The Civics are nice. Here's a pic of what mine looks like:



It may not have the power and handling of a GSR, but it's still a nice looking car. Anyway now that I'm finally getting transfered (for work) closer to home, I'm tempted to get an RSX.

Just call the bloody thing a DC5

u should have kept the gsr, what did u do with it anyways?

 
Rep Power: 0

anyways bakc to the topic, what about the vtec?

 
Rep Power: 0

ive also heard that the gsr handles better than the type s. and does anyone know how the handling of the gsr and type s compares to the celica gts. tegra is supposedly the best FF handling car.

 
Rep Power: 0

imo i would rather have the gsr, i think it looks better. But also i never drove a type-s.

I'm surprised no one here seems to know what the average driver of stock GS-R does. 15.2. Same for the Type S.

People have claimed to break 14s with their Type S bone stock, but it's already been proven the fastest bone stock GS-R broke 14.9.

This is like saying which is better, the EX Civic or the LX? The Type S has the better advantage given the new engine has more low-end. Still I'd put my money on the better DRIVER.

Which has the better VTEC? lease: The B-series' VTEC engagements are more pronounced when on the throttle compared to the refined smooth engagement of the K-series i-VTEC. I keep forgetting why but I remember everyone saying the *"i"* in the VTEC sucks.

 
Rep Power: 0

I've never driven a stock GS-R, but I have a stock Type S. All I can add is the chassis of the RSX is a lot stiffer, and the DC5R will run circles around the DC2R stock for stock. I love how my bro's GS-R handles by just being lowered on GCs and Tokico blues.

EDIT: I still prefer the way my car handles over his.

thanks a lot for your explanation slammedblueem2.

get an integra type R and smoke the Type S
BTW the Type S has less potential because they've added more restrictions for tuning.
