Boost12wrx · 03-13-2004, 11:03 AM

There is a Integra Type R that wants to race me and he has 190 hp at the wheels with 130 ft lbs of torque.. should I be scared or will I smoke the shit out of this ####??

My car has the following

up pipe, down pipe, exhaust, fuel pump, Utech, Cold air intake

There is no doubt you should kick his vtec butt...I have less than you and have beat a local Type R without any problem.

You got him in your pocket.

You mean a GSR?? There are very few true Type-Rs in the US. Anyway even if your car was stock, I wouldn't be to worried about him.

as far as i can remember, in 2000 they sold Type-R's then discontinued it and launched the RSX

they only sold 2000, I believe. Thats a limited quantity and seeing as how they've been around for 4+ years, I would imagne there are even fewer left.

They started in 1998 and stopped in 2001 or around there.

A friend from work has a Type-R and a stock 2002 WRX, the rex is clearly faster. I have still whooped him after he installed a S-AFC, header, full exhaust and intake. he is now bolting on a jackson supercharger kit. I should still be able to hand him his a$$ in a race!

i gave a friend that has the HKS in his 3000GT and he is very happy with it !!!

YEAH DUDE TYPE R'S ARE SLOW AS BALLS. I HAVE LESS THAN YOU HAVE DONE AND I EAT THEM FOR BREAKFAST. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT

jwtarbaj · 03-19-2004, 04:44 PM

I wouldn't underestimate them so much fellas. The type-R Integra had a high output motor much like the S2000. It peaked at very high rpm. It is more a track car than anything else. Put a turbo or Supercharger on it for low end and it will fly.

IBAUCLAPlaya · 03-19-2004, 05:17 PM

I think they are pretty cool cars and decent power but with his car putting down 230 whp I don't think it has a chance.

well a kid up at the local hot spot has a turbo type R.. At first i thought he was talking bs.. but when he pop his hood there was a turbo.. he must of done quite a bit of motor work.. considering a type R motor runs pretty high compression.. he is running 8psi.. never got a chance to race him though..
