Integra Update!!
Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2022 7:16 pm
Some of you have seen my original post on Bstuff? when I bought the car in 2009? It was a pretty tired car when I picked it up but I bought it for autoX and it met my minimum requirements of being a straight, rust free, white, cloth interior, GSR. At the time I wanted to make a white on orange Real time Type R clone. The original engine and trans were running strong with 150k on the clock.
The USDM GSR is generally a loaded version with stiffer suspension, brakes and a 170hp B18C1 V-tec motor with a beefed up non-lsd 5spd. The base, SE, LS, GS versions come with a weaker 140hp B18B motor, and either and auto or a weaker version of the b series trans with taller gearing.

I started modding the car each winter when it was hibernating.
-Year 1 was a Tein Flex coil over setup
-Year 2 was getting all control arms and trailing arms Powedercoated and a full Energy suspension complete bushing set. I also stripped the calipers and had them powder coated. Thanks to Rock Auto I rebuilt all 4 calipers for $16. It got steel braided brake hoses at that time. They are such a great upgrade on any car/truck dd whatever.
-Year 3 I think was smaller crap like Hasport poly engine mounts and an Exedy stage 1 clutch.
-After a few years I picked up a used Jackson Racing SC kit and then spent a couple years accumulating supporting parts for it.
I had Hondata S300 engine management hardware installed in my ecu and once I had everything I needed I tore into the car mid autocross season.
These were the basic specs at the time
1995 GSR
setup:
-Stock B18c1 176K miles
-OEM 4-1 ITR header
-2 1/4" ss junkyard catback
-Stock blower pulleys, crank pulley...
-Hondata S300
-RC 550 injectors
-Hondata I.M. gasket
-NGK BK7RE11 plugs
- VMS fuel pressure regulator adapter and new filter
-LHT Intercooler modd. package deal w/ 70mm TB
And this was part of a post I made on Honda-Tech on D-day
The day I took it to the dyno it wouldn't start! The fuel pump wasn't running. But luckily my clutch switch failed earlier and is currently jumped so I pulled it out of the shop and onto the car dolly in 1st gear using the starter. It ended up being a simple ground issue but at the time I was ready to take a baseball bat to the car.
It made 225whp and 160wtq on a Dynojet 224xLC which supposedly measures about 150whp on a stock GSR.
Not a ton of power but I was impressed with how snappy it is now and for the time being this is primarily a "parking lot / low speed autocross" car so the power level is more than enough for what Im doing with it. I have a lot of suspension tuning to do. I need an LSD, a better alignment, better brakes and a traction bar to name a few things. Ill have to datalog soon and get some intake temp. readings. I can run it hard and pull over and hold my hand on the manifold so, there's that.
Stay tuned. Theres more!
