all your complaints make me lol.
I'm getting adjustable coilovers here soon, and there will be no Engine swap, the engine has good power as it is. As it was rebuilt, and I've worked with B series engines before, they are good engines so I'm keeping it.
No primered bumpers, not any time soon, I'm slowly working on a (already painted) black JDM front end and I'm only going to primer it a day before I paint it, and I'm only putting the front end on until a few days before the paint.
I'm not going anywhere just yet

so i read page one, and skipped page 2....
Type R Integras have 5 lug rims and black and red seats (hmm so do Z24s...)
However, the STRONGEST Integra B series engines is an LS bottom and an ITR or CSI top. LS vTEC
but in stock form, ITRS are not particularly fast, they still fall under the type of cars that are under the American Honda Brand, and still do not have the luxury one would expect out of the american Acura Brand.
now give me a 12 second wire tucked LS, with an N/A LS Vtec, internals, and ITBs, and that is an integra... the rest all blend in to the crowd... i'm still a firm believer that 75 percent of people who buy Hondas and integras don't know how to mod cars, and jumping on the bandwagon of the stereotype that they are fast, is the cool thing to do...
its like, "hey i don't know @!#$ about cars, but everyone says civics are cool. i'll buy one!!! mad tight JDM yo!!" ....... 2 months later ....... "why is my @!#$ so god damned slow?"
look at white4door... he now has an integra... its still slower than my Z...
oh and EDIT: if you do the JDM front end conversion... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do the Right Hand Drive conversion and not be another poser on the road... Get the whole front clip, not just the cosmetic...

You obviously hadn't messed with ITB's. They have more fits than a 3 year old. Mixed with Vtec? Have fun tunning that.

You basically just said everything i plan on doing. Although the front end will probably be on before I do the right hand conversion I am seriously planning on doing it and already sourcing parts.
And I'm trying to find an Vtec head to put on my LS.
On top of all that, my car does have power, and although it's not super OMG fast, it does do pretty good. I'm not going to take it to the track because I know I'm most likely going to lose but, it is very fun to drive.

its been done... google search this **** "francisco pietri" integra **** he's local to me (virginia beach), sponsored by PasswordJDM and has around a 12 sec all motor type r with ITBS. When he got the ITBs, we bought his old intake mani and tb to put on my buddies LS Vtec Turbo that made over 600 WHP.
also Hondata or Crom can be your friend in the tuning world...

Oh good to know thanks. You obviously haven't seen my build thread for my integra, lmao.

It's not loud, at all. I realize I should have worded it differently other then "loudest" but it's a nice exhaust, and it's stock, so I can't complain.
Here's a video of it, sorry it's so crappy.

Fair enough... your originial caption looked like you were wanting louder...

Thats a big negative i have not... but i have been around Francisco's N/A integra and built my buddy's LS Vtec Turboed integra..
I see what you were trying to do but the sound is...harsh
It sounds alot better in person, my camera sucks.

My buddy had a 2000 Civic SI with a B20 bottom and b16 head. He ran a new Civic SI exhaust on it. It really did sound pretty good. Sounded clean and a little deeper but not raspy and too loud. So I get what you mean.
Speedline: Whats your point? I just got through building a 600+whp DC integra, my buddy has a 850+whp DA Integra, my other buddy has a 350whp budget build LS integra.
^^^ My point is that you immediately put out there that i don't know about Honda Builds because i prefer Francisco's build with ITBs, and that i wouldn't know how to tune it... ....
so now you know otherwise... just because i have one of the quickest N/A Quad motors on this site, doesn't mean i don't know about hondas
For having the quickest na quad four you can't read. I simply said they have too many fits and it's a pita to tune. I never said anything about it being impossible. Many have done it. It's a pain and they are always needing a retune. No where did I say you couldn't tune it.
I'm curious what's the quickest na on jbo run?
i said one of the quickest... and we'll know this very soon. I'm not going to put old numbers out there.. i should have my new exhaust by the end of next month, and a re-tune, and i'll publish the first sets of numbers then... --- in the mean time you can go to Photos and Media and search me, my entire build has been photographed...
---
as for an Integra With ITBs... i should have been clear... i would only want that for a racing application, i would never want to daily drive one
You're all gayer then aids.
That is all.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.
"Run! He's fuzzy!" "Get outta here!"
