which one do you guys think is better. and which one has the better vtec?

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

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.

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

OOOO, u dont have a gsr anymore?

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

integra type-s = rsx type-s

same ****

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.

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

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

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?

anyways bakc to the topic, what about the vtec?

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.

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.

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.
