VTEC actually engages at 4400 rpm. What you are hearing at 6000 rpm are the butterfly valves opening the secondary intake runners in the intake manifold. Makes me miss my 95 GSR!
@@7eamGhast The GSR has a dual stage intake manifold. It has long narrow runners for low end torque at low rpms. Once you hit 6K rpm, the butterfly valves in the intake manifold open up the shorter larger diameter runners for high end torque.
@@tomvang3326 wow, I didn’t know that. This manifold is not present on the Type R motors? Only GSR? Thanks for elaborating I really appreciate it, I just bought a Honda to work on with my son and I want to do a b18c swap with him, in my research I never saw anything about this yet. Thanks a lot!
@@7eamGhast No problem, this dual stage manifold was only made for the GSR. The Type R and other B18C motors have a single stage intake manifold.

“Engaging and fun to drive”. Nailed it. I have a 90 hatch with a B16A and a 2000 GSR. I’ve have 500 HP V8 cars, 350 v6 cars, turbo 4 bangers but the naturally aspirated high Erving Hondas are my favorite.
Back in that time 170 hp was sufficient output, especially for it having such a small displacement engine and it being naturally aspirated. Sweet high revving engine, very engaging vehicle to drive, and it surprised many larger displacement cars back then. Sucked that they used to get stolen so much
@@GsrDc I know it's pathetic like they can't work for their own s***. I just bought a itr x and I get paranoid I try not to but well you know how that goes
There is something very special about these cars that isn't represented in today's market. They just put a smile on your face both aesthetically and via the driving experience they offer. This is why I will always keep at least one in my possession.
Best review of a GSR. I feel the exact same way about the car. I owned one in 94 and ruined it. Im 45 now and I found a bone stock 2000 gsr and im leavin that baby the way it is.
I picked up a 2001 Integra GSR back in February with 207k but in great condition completely stock. It's the most fun I've had owning a car. If you have a chance of picking one of these up I highly recommend it. It took me about 3-4 months to find a decent example but they do exist.
I just sold my 95 acura gsr with 151k miles for 8k, some people say it was too high but I say it was the right price for the right buyer, just bought a 2002 s2000 ap1 with 85k miles all Stock for 12k, had to let the gsr but man was it fun!
That is a very clean GSR for NY state. My unicorn is a 1994 GSR. It was top of the line back then as the Type R wasn't out yet. Mine has 89,600 kilometers on it. I bought it new in June 94. In other words, 1 owner car. I'm in Ontario, so I store it every year in November and often don't put it back on the road much before June. Just like your friend's mine isn't for sale either. I have a 23 year old son chomping at the bit to get his hands on it some day.
That moment you call it Civic in front of the owner.... cool to see the next generation keeping a fan base of the tuner world before Need for Speed. Good review overall.
Ehh dope, from someone that had a white 98 teggy, to a mk7.5 golf r 🤟. Absolutley love the golf, actually miss having the teg as a secondary fun/beater
I have a VW golf Mk5 gti and I would like this one in the garage too. The VTec is the "turbo" of the atmospherics! I've only driven the Civic Ep3 Type-R and It's amazing. Here in Spain the Integra It's very rare, quote and expensive. Great video
I’m having that same problem. I currently have an MK6 GTI but had a 2003 Acura RSX Type-S. It was very clean, low miles. Man...I didn’t realize how good I had it. Now they are so hard to find in great condition for the right price. :(
Gorgeous example - that interior free of large screens is a thing of beauty. I believe the keyword here is "engagement". Today's cars offer impressive levels of performance, but the very technology enabling such performance also isolates the driver from the driving process itself. For example, if you enjoy the satisfaction that proper rev-matching brings, why would you want a car that does this for you? If performance is what matters the most, then I can understand, but if driving is your thing, older cars like this are hard to beat. You didn't even get into any twisty roads, where lighter cars like this can shine.
This is the 2nd gsr video I have found that says stock and then immediately shows changes, like the shifter. (As I was typing this you said suspension also). My 97 is totally stock, if I was going to start changing things I would then go nuts on it. The other video I found, the guy was talking about how much he wanted a stock GSR, and then he changed the air filter to a "performance" filter before he even made the video lol.
Yes it’s clean. I have a pretty clean 98 ssbp gsr w grey leather interior. Trust me I know I’m the only one in US with grey leather Second owner. I have 235k. Only motor mod. Aem sr intake and apex ws2. Stock height stil.
You're off when you go over the Trim levels. The "base" is not the LS. The base model is the RS. No moonroof/cruise control/power locks/ABS/leather. The RS is the model that you want to use if you're going to build your own Type R. The LS is actually an upgrade from the RS.
Stock just makes it that much rare more valuable... That's why people who have integra type R's and put K20 swaps on them Won't get the value of what it would be if it was original engine and trans.... Of course somebody's always willing to pay for a ITR regardless of that just saying. I have an integra type R championship white JDM right hand drive. Just bought it last year due to some piece of s*** drunk driver hitting me and leaving me there for dead... I'm blessed and curse at the same time. I've wanted one all my life and finally been blessed to get it but I'm cursed cuz now I'm crippled and I struggle every day just to do the simplest things that I could do before the accident
I have had 98 red gsr for almost 6 years odo stop working years ago so I must be around 200k engine burns a lot of oil. Don't know whether to k swap or rebuild any suggestions?
I mean overall it depends on what you want out of the car. In my opinion, I would go K series because you have all the new features of the newer vtec motors and more power as well.
theft sucks tho out here they just take them out of gear and push them away with another car as you know there is a billion ways they steal these and get around all the anti theft things people can imagine and do if you own one on the west coast in Washington Seattle area never park it for more then 30 seconds anywhere even if it's a POS it why I'm just done with hondas now!

I remembered when I first heard the secondaries open and I thought it was vtec engaging lol.
What’s the secondaries? The cam switchover?

Sadly, they still get stolen even base model automatics nowadays. Keep your teggys close by or its gone.

I’m an original owner 2001 integra type R all Mugen parts , this review is VERY accurate of an integra , great review
lucky
Nice congratulations I just bought an Integra type RX. Great cars. Drives completely different from a regular Integra. I'm blessed to have it
I used to own that exact same car. I absolutely loved driving it until I was hit by a red light runner. This vid reminded me how much fun it was.
Sorry to hear that sucks I have been hit by a red light runner also.. those dipshits
Clean Integra man! Finding one in good shape is certainly a unicorn these day! Keep up the killer reviews dude!
Yea man that’s why when I found out my friend had one untouched, I had to go ahead and film it!!!!
I've been driving the same 99 Integra for 24 years, I fucking love that car so much! 117,700 miles, I know she's got another 25 years in her!

Right. One of the top 10 stolen cars. Especially the Integra type r. a lot of those got stolen along withother gsrs and regular Integras.
