Hi Guys,

Well I've finally bought myself a car that I've always wanted since they came out in the UK in 1998. It's a DC2 Integra Type R. Now obviously at the minute it's a little slower than my 4 door B16A2 turbo
So I was thinking,should I rebuild the internals on the B18 motor so I can transfer all of the turbo parts from my Civic or should I keep it standard as Honda intended??

The handling and brakes are superb for a standard car.I just don't want to end up ruining it.Come on guys,tell me what you would do

I'd leave it NA as well. I/H/E and call it a day.

Even though I love my turbo, I miss how the engine sounded with a CAI and the VTEC switchover.

I enjoy it NA for a while as well..learn the car..drive it...have fun..

Then when/if you want more power through some boost @ it.

He he,

Thanks for the comments guys.It's done a fair few miles.It's currently on 126k.I just miss the pull of the B16A2 turbo.I may as suggested,run it until I get bored then put all of my turbo parts on it.I already have a rough map.I would just need a set of rods and pistons and then be good to go.I'll try and sort a pic of it for you guys to see
All of the turbo parts from my civic will be carefully wrapped and put into storage! Just in case I get bored! \:D

Year, #?

Skip the bolt ons, bring it to a few track days and you'll forget about the turbo civic.

Very nice and clean. Quick question, I thought that front end was sold in the US only and the rest of the world got the better looking version?

IIRC the bugeyes were released worldwide in '94 Japan and maybe other asian markets were the only countries to receive the "DA" styled 2 headlight front end the next year- which is why it's called the JDM front end. Stayed the same throughout the production run in Japan, although the rest of the globe got a minor facelift with different bumpers front and back, more flush headlights, and other differences in '98.

When I got married in Jamaica, I saw numorous Honda Integras, all with the JDM front. I didn't see a one with the four lights. I never researched the subject so I wasn't sure who got what where.

I also saw an DA GSR with DOHC VTEC stickers on the side. Located under the side mirrors. Kinda like the Euro VTEC CRX's.

Thanks for all of the kind comments guys.I think it'll be a while if I turbo the DC2.To be truthful,I miss the Civic with the turbo on.The handling and brakes on the Integra are sublime......and those seats...they just hug and hardly let you move.It's going into the bodyshop soon to have a few things sorted on it.The wheels will be getting refurbed.I'm reluctant to touch the motor now.Even though it's done 126k miles it pulls very strong.It revs it's head off a little on the motorway though,80mph is 4.5k on the rev counter!
If I do turbo it,it will be getting a longer ratio box on it.Every time I drive it it makes me grin though,that's the important part.Teg type R = FUN!!

Hey guys! How you all doing? I can't believe I've had my ITR for over two years now!! Boy do I miss the boosted Civic. There's something about the ITR that's made me keep it N/A for now. Mind you, losing my job as a Mechanical Engineer because of the global recession doesn't help. The UK certainly is going down the toilet in the manufacturing sector!

The ITR is now on 153,000 miles and running sweet. I treated it to a fresh set of piston rings and valve stem oil seals at 150k. It was smoking at 8krpm plus. When I pulled it apart, I found the oil control ring rails hadn't been staggered! There was no other significant wear on the motor, no lips at the top of the bores and STILL the original cross hatch markings on the bores! Thought you might like to see these:

























If I find employment again soon, I think I'll be tempted to boost it. I'll be buying a C4 block though and building that and mating it to the ITR head. That way I can put the ITR back to stock if need be.

Hope you're all keeping well

IIRC he is on a stock motor and h/g...with a 50 or 57 trim..??

His results are NOT typical, lol.

What psi is he running through that? I'm sure if peoples cars are mapped correctly, they would be more typical. Maybe he does a lot of cruising miles with little boost? I myself would prefer a minimum of forged internals

I like it! AND at 13-16psi! I gotta see some pics of this beast! Post em up!

My B16A2 setup was Crome Pro, forged 9.5:1 bottom end and 440cc injectors. I only ran that at 6psi on a 57trim! It must have been way way way in it's safe zone with that setup

More Integra pics because the top link doesn't work anymore!
