I'll take a risk here:

turns: integra type-r
drag: integra type-r
weight: integra type-r (lightest)

all stock.
Okay guys, spill some of my blood and correct me if I'm wrong.

my guess would be the integra type r for turns. except i think the rsx type s has a slightly faster 1/4 mile.

Umm...I had a '97 Prelude and I can tell you that it aint all that quick. It had 200 hp but it was heavy as ***! The Type S would definitely take it, and I would venture that the Type S is an improvement over the Type R.

Well... TypeR's B18C is a lot more respectable engine than the K series, specially for circuit racing, but for drag racing, they gave almost the same on their respective cars. It performs better than the RSX Type-S in acceleration, braking, toruning, etc.

If the B18C is more respectable than K series engines, why aren't people swap'n into their vics? Seems like most engine swaps involve the K20A2.

Because the shorter front end on the 7th Gen Civic make it REALLY difficult to swap a B18C engine in it. Even though the K20 have a bigger displacement, the head of the B18C, fuel system and the intake manifold assembly on the head makes it really dificult to make that swap.
But check in 6th, 5th and even 4th gen civics... you will find B series as a favorite, and B18C as the MOST WANTED ENGINE!!

because it's illegal to swap a B18C into a 7th gen civic to my knowledge. not to mention far more difficult mechanically i believe.

edit: oh wait on the illegal thing. they made an integra type R in 2001 didn't they.... so then it would be legal. but, as already stated, mechanically it would be even far more difficult than the K20 swap.

And if you'd check Hondatech you'd find that alot of people are jumping on the K series band wagon. The K series is the next evolution in Honda motors, it is basically better in every respect than the B series. The only reason there are people still doin B swaps is because the Ks are still expensive. Give it a couple years. you'll find what the "most wanted engine" is.

to anwser the original question the Type S would win in a drag, i know this for a fact.
The Type R would edge the type S on the track.

Well, I know that the max power of the k series have not been sqweezed from it yet, but many of the people I've talked with that have done the K series swap on 6th and 5th gen civics had a B18C before the K, and they just say they would love to have the B18C in again.

prelude is out of a question, a good driver in a 2000 si will smoke any prelude, anyways, type r is my guess for the track, and type s for the drag however i think the type r looks more agressive than the new type s

I have no idea why. I've driven both B series powered cars and K series cars on a track and i can tell you IMO the K series is a way better motor.

To each their own i guess huh?

well the prelude is just a big engine but too heavy so comparing it tho those two cars is unfair it belongs to another category
1/4 mile = rsx-s
turns lap times = type r
lightest = type r

k-series have more potential then b-series and right now they are still developing new and better parts for the k and some dyno-charts off crsx show 210-220 with i/h/e and k-pro-tuned. Most b-series dont even reach that with basic mods even with some internals. Btw forgot the name of the company but i think with there new cams on a k20a2 with type-r mani, hondata im gasket, cai, rh, exhuast, and k-pro tuning got 230 hp.

type r would win. if i'm not mistaken i thought a type r ran a 14.8 qt. ( i read that in one of my magizines) and the 2002-04 type s ran a 15.2 qt. i don't know what the 05 type s runs so if someone could help me out there. but i do know for sure the jdm honda integra type r owns all.

I beg to differ. Bring any 2000 stock Si vs a stock 5th Gen Prelude. The lude will win. My friend and I raced a Type-S with a CAI with his stock 98 Prelude. From a 10 mph roll we lost by 2-2 1/2 car lengths up to 90 mph then we cut off (rsx was still pulling lol). Then the Type-S raced a modified 2000 Si and won by about 4 car lengths. In my opinion, none of these people can drive including my friend (because he is afraid to "break his transmission" so he is never shifts fast). Now a stock Type-S with a good driver runs about a... 14.9-15.0 right, 14.8 sometimes. A stock 5th gen lude runs a 15.2 maybe with a good driver. Now i might be wrong but stock Si's run mid to high 15's.

Now back to topic.
I choose the Type R for everything except for 1/4 mile. The Type R's are amazing cars in the turns.

go check clubrsx.com but i believe some people are getting 14.7's or so with the 05. could be wrong, i'd go check.

I'm surprised nobody puts any stock in the Prelude for owning in the twisties, nobody ever had any faith in 4WS eh?

well i believe he was talking about the 5th gen lude which doesn't have 4ws... although the SH is supposed to be a great handling car. My Friend is a non-SH and it doesn't handle as well as my vic.
