Acura Integra Auto Repair 1994-2001 DC2

Back to main directory

Honda debuted the third generation Integra in 1993 in Japan. Honda's Acura division would followed in 1994 in the United States. Unlike its Japanese or JDM counterpart the USA (USDM) version had an unusual four headlight front end design which was dubbed "bug eyes" by some enthusiasts. Standard power from the B18B1 engine increased to 142 hp (105.9 kW), and the GS-R received the now popular B18C engine, equipped with a dual-stage intake manifold and a displacement increase (from the second generation integra) from 1.7 liters to 1.8 liters, bringing power up to 182 hp (135.7 kW).

In 1998, the Integra was redesigned after the release of the new Integra Type-R. In Japan the redesign had two more conventional looking headlights as the bug eye look had proven unpopular. Outside Japan it had a slightly revised version of the four "bug eye" headlights.

In Japan a Type R model was added for the 1995 model year and finally to the rest of the world in 1997, powered by a highly tuned, hand-finished variant of the GS-R's engine. The JDM B18C Spec-R (B18C5 for USDM) equipped Type-R produced 197 hp (146.9 kW). Although it had an impressive rev limit, the Type R was still hampered by some criticism; its maximum torque output of only 133.8 lb·ft at 7500 rpm meant that the engine would have to be revved high to achieve the best performance. Although the engine's "split personality" and unusually high capability to rev made it popular among hardcore enthusiasts, it cost the vehicle points in comparison tests where drivers noted that the vehicle was too hard-edged, loud and rev-hungry to be an easy daily driver. However among many automotive enthusiasts it is considered one of the best front wheel drive sports cars ever made. Wikipedia:Acura Integra DC2
