1500hp, 216mph: This Is The World’s Fastest Honda Integra | American Tuned ft. Rob Dahm
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ค. 2024
- Once the world’s fastest two-wheel drive car, now all-wheel-drive, Myles Kerr’s 1,500(ish)-horsepower “Gringotegra” excels in the worlds of half-mile racing and “no-prep”-a form of drag runs on imperfect track surfaces to mimic street racing. Able to hit 195 mph in the quarter-mile (at 7.715s), Kerr’s hottest of hatches also runs a mind-melting 216 mph in the half-mile.
But this is a story about resilience, too. This is a car that's seen its fair share of trials, from grand theft auto to the harsh realities of racing. Yet, each challenge has only added to its legacy, a testament to an unbreakable spirit of race-break-fix-race.

RWD, 4WD, AWD or FWD. What you bringing?
FWD for sure
@@that7772 You must hate fun
Depends on application but literally never fwd
@@kristoffer3000 fwd is better than rwd in terms of like handling
@@that7772 Ah yeah, that's why all F1 cars are fwd, indycars are fwd, Nascar are FWD, rally cars of the past were FWD.
Oh wait, no, damn that's crazy...
It's pretty simple, you have a limited amount of friction to work with and you don't want to use that for also accelerating the car.
This is why FWD cars struggle so much on snow and ice whilst their rear tires are pretty planted, not to mention that accelerating with a fwd car makes the front end lighter, giving you less grip whilst the opposite is true for a rwd car.
Whoa!!!! Myles made it onto Top Gear!! Dangggggggg. So proud of you and the rest of the English Racing / ETS team! Represent!
Such a great team
You know this man is pushing the limits when the final drive or T Case is a maintainence item. What a monster of a car. Love it
def not streetable
@@ItsPainnz It's streetable. it's just the kind of stress it's under during racing causes it to fail quickly. It would last forever if it was paired with much lower powered engine.
meh. build it right first place you wouldnt have a problem @@kasuraga
@@ItsPainnz myles rocks that car the the store to get grocery's, it definitely gets driven on the street
@@ItsPainnzdon’t comment so bold if you haven’t done research. With a good tuner you can drive something as crazy as a 3000hp sequential Viper to the grocery store and back with little to no drama. And probably decent gas mileage considering the circumstances. Were not in the 90’s anymore lol. I’m not even trying to be rude or hateful, but dude people take cars like this around their respective town just for fun to screw around. If I remember correctly this car is street legal and I’m pretty sure he keeps the parachute on when chilling. I’ve had dreams about this car, go look it up!
I've been following this car since he had like 700 HP. It's amazing to see how far this has come along, love this car.
8:00 in, when two stepping, how the windshield just goes crazy-foggy - that was awesome lol
I was going to comment the same thing! Never seen a car do that before, what a monster machine🤩
I love that after all these years he's stayed with the b series and not k swapped it. I'm a die hard b series guy lol
Myles!!! So crazy what that car has accomplished and its upset a ton of people over the years. Glad they both got some recognition.
Honestly the fact that Integra is still compliant enough to (more or less) comfortably cruise in the rain is in some ways more impressive than just the raw performance. Being able to keep that driveability especially in a strung-out 4 cylinder like this is awesome.
Old school honda-tech crew is proud you Miles
😢 the old times
Rob God Dahmn!!!! Absolutely slaying it out here being a Top Gear host. Man the passion this takes is incredible ❤🎉
I've seen this car for 4years..
And I'm so proud of miles..
He's got the fastest honda out there.❤😊
Back in the Day when first watched Rob Dahm with RX7’s , I knew he WASNT your AVERAGE boring You Tuber. He’s always had the charm, looks , personality and Import car knowledge that few ever do. He was born for this stuff.
*_The stories behind why all these cars are built are so inspiring…_*
Absolutely the most bad ass integra on the planet.
99.7% of them have been crushed into soup cans so it wasnt that hard.
Myles Gringo Tegra made it to Top gear! 🤯
Mad respect to you Myles 🎉. Making us Honda bois proud!!
This car is finally getting proper recognition.
Question: how does the intake not suck in any rain water?
Not something you’d normally be driving in the rain. It’s street drivable, but not a daily.
@@NBSV1 ya i know but in the video its raining. How did the water not get into the intake?
@@JDMEXforme You'll get some, but unless it's really pouring it doesn't hurt things as much as you'd expect. The bigger issue is if parked outside it could let water pool in the intake to where you'd get a big single load of water that would cause problems.
Ya Buddy! Spikeman making his presence known! Nice work dude!!!
The Honda and the Acura are All Integra's.
I used to run track days with Myles before he decided to focus on straight lines. It was hilarious as he was slow in the corners, but on the straights he would unleash the fury. So, we nicknamed this car "The Fury".
I love your buddys hoodie! That goes so hard!🔥
This is one of the only series of TH-cam episodes I've ever seen where NEARLY every car breaks at the end of the episode in one way or another.
And it's awesome. Because THAT'S THE POINT.
Grew up with so many teggys, and will never stop loving them! Even tho yep, 2 of 5 stolen 😢 Great production fellas
did u add any security measures that work now? I have one and im super worried about mine getting stolen lol
@@matthewtran5839 I always disconnect my battery and box it in w other cars but the BEST thing is a GPS tracker. I have one that you just put a regular pre paid sim chip in and it has live tracking. If you wanna go extra crazy get a steering wheel or pedal lock.
Get a clutch lock brother. Looks like a steering wheel lock but with your clutch. 🤙 @@matthewtran5839
Man knows his car. Hella respect for this build.
GringoTegra! Good job Miles, glad to see your still killing it!
stoked to see Myles and my home track The Ridge, that's two videos with Shelton this year! (Ferrari swapped WRX), reminds me why I love this town!
Its a killer track! See ya in traffic
Crazy to see this car on Top Gear. I still remember this car when it was bone stock and still running great times at Portland International Raceway. It's come such a long way!
These old school B-Series guys are my hero's.
NICE!!! Love my '94 Integra GSR!
its insane hes still running the b18c1
its a billet engine, not a factory one, like all hondas over 600hp, honda doest not make good engines but dart can
@@retrocompaq5212 cope
I was surprised it wasn't K Series or JDM swap. USDM engine seems to have potential after all.
@@retrocompaq5212we do not need to run billet engines until we are getting into 4 digit territory and even then you can get away with sleeves to some extent. 600hp on a stock block with a good piston/rod setup and a PROPER TUNE will last easily so long as you maintain her well
K-series is even better than the B-series when it comes to what they are capable of in stock block with some internals swapped in
Myles didn’t swap over to the billet block until he went for that 1500hp number. Prior to this he was 700-1200hp/54 psi of boost and using his stock block with golden eagle sleeves as they are factory open deck engines. For an engine that was designed for daily driving and economy, they are quite stout and throw down without skipping a beat
@@gibememoniit's not cope if it's true you just don't wanna believe it
Gringotegra!!!
The baddest Integra in the world!!! I’ve been following this car for years! He has a dream set up!
ROB DAHM !
Myles on top gear! Dam so awesome! Gringotegra FTW!
Can’t imagine how awesome it feels to be at your level, makes me feel cool that I even know you Myles! Congrats
He 100% does drive this on the street and it’s a beast
My hell cat can take it
An amazing car and a cool guy! Love the AAF in the back ground.
Love Myles and his teggy it’s definitely been one of my favorite race cars growing up and getting into the scene and would be a dream come true to be side by side at the drag strip with this man
I built 2 Integras in my 20s. DC2 and a DC4, such great cars. Mine only made around 350. Thia makes me want to buy another one once I'm done with this GTI.
Myles is a great guy, very glad to see him on Top Gear!
For me this is what Topgear should be about, new cars ain't relevant to me nor something I desire. Give me a well modded car & a car with a story any day... always something to learn. 😎👊👍✌🇬🇧
This awesome. There is a video of my dads 2007 gt/cs with roush supercharger racing Myles in his integra when it had just a turbo in Vancouver lake park. Myles obviously smoked my dad but that was in 2008
9:01 this is like the edge of aviation, maintenance is inevitable, you hope you get to it without dying
i been a fan of that car forever! my hero car!
Myles is great - I've watched his Integra on 1320video for years.
saw this car in this vs that amazing performance but i think after this we need stacey barnett gtr review as well
This is my favorite car of all time. Myles is a legend.
Just talked to this guy at my golf course super nice crazy car
Can't wait to finish my k series for my Teg
Oh the crv b-series. I blew my gsr and when I looked for a replacement, I ran into the crv b-series often. I ordered the same gsr b-series from Japan with low mileage and cheap. But I never went turbo or all out like this.
It’s called a B20
yeah and the b20 block can hold up to 350hp, its very weak because the sleeves are too thin between them, very weak design, the quickest 4cyl in the world is a stock block gm ecotec from a 06 chevy cobalt, pushes 2000hp at 100psi of boost, runs 5.80@240mph, not a single japaneese engine come close, they all run billet engines which are not japaneese but american or aussie, dont buy asian junks
Congratulations MILES!
I had a gsr in 2003 in highschool. Red with black leather. Wrapped around a tree going 100 mph.
Same but I assed out on the highway at 130 and tore the back off on a guardrail 🤷💯🤣
The before times. The good times!
What a monster!😎
7:45 BADASS
Wow he made it far good job miles 👏🏻
Dang. This was dope
The name Integra always lives on!
There's a very basic reason subarus, and now other awd vehicles have become popular here. It's slippery when wet. It's one thing to be wet, it's another to be wet and in the shade so long that you grow slippery lichen and such, i read somewhere that 75% of north american subarus are sold in the pacific northwest, and i've owned 2, and their gas mileage sucks, but i will not give them up until there's something better. I've never been stuck.. i've never needed studs, or chains. Winter tires on an awd (emphasis on winter tires) are absolutely amazing.
Hell yeah Myles! 🤘
Incredible
That car is awesome!!!
Myles the man!!
I still say throwing electric wheel Motors on the rear is the best all-wheel drive solution for this car or any car for that matter. There's a 160HP series model that works perfect and its even better when you double them up for full posi traction in a straight line! On north 101 aka somewhere in Mexico, I managed to pull off an NA Frankenstein B18/B16A2 w/2.195 bore at 171 w/GSR transmission and two passes at 205 & 208 mph w/rebuilt RS transmission without the electric motors at the time, just FWD. I imagine the electric motors would've cut launch time and assisted in pushing the RS transmission further but I wouldn't know cause I didn't go back to Mexico to find out lol
Been enjoying seeing Myles rag the crap out of that Honda for years.
I’ve seen this car in Portland a few times
That thing is a beast an those B18 motors are amazing. Funny thing my mum brought a honda orthia with a b18 in it for 1500nzd what me an my dad says was too much at the time but ended up being one of the most reliable engines/car they ever owned compared to the nissans/subarus/toyota's/hyundai's to name a few that they ever owned as a run about car....if only she had let me modify it lol
Word my bro best wagon out there i had two one with a b18 and other with b20 best cars ever miss them. Im in New Zealand as well. both cars got totalled by idiot drivers unfortunately.
Damn Over 200mph in a 90s oem honda manufactured integra chassis is insane! Hands down baddest street car.
The little Honda that could!!!
whattttt so dope that gringos on top gear
just Wow!!!!
Myles has officially made it!
my only question is how is it street legal without side mirrors? like not even camera mirrors
Forgot to put it back on! I take them off for the drag racing.
4 digit b series❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hell ya..
We Dont need a K
I wanna see Rob interview Ray Pampena. Basically the 3000gt VR4 high HP GOD
👀👀 will make a note of that
@@TopGear He's been in the VR4 game for over a decade, master craft quality builds, and debunker of common misconceptions about 3000GTs and fueled off pure passion. I've given his writeups plenty of reads for my build and they're worth their weight in gold
Brought me back to high school days.. love me them GSRs …
Pulled up next to him in Vancouver on 4th plain. I was on the bmw s1000rr, and I said to myself... yep I am not racing that Integra.
90s Integra prices on marketplace have seemingly doubled in the past year lol hmmmm😂
Make them waves man🎉
The 1.8 integra engine can preduce 1500hp just insane
Wish I could share this pic with the list of fastest Hondas in North America
They’re not street driven tho. Obviously speed factory would put a 1 second gap on gringotegra and frustrate eg would take him to gapplebees.
You guys hear that???? "It's not about if, its about when it will happen." I love when kids come in to my shop and think I could build them a perfect record breaking indestructible race car. 😂😂
Good job Myles u made it.
Seeing those internals after: face -> palm
I want to read more about that clutch
The same one that came out on street outlaws ?
Sick!
He's definitely in the
" goldilocks zone"
Loves me some honda action H
Rob Dahm on Top Gear!? Actually might start watching again, heck yeah!!
Right, that definitely threw me off! 💯🤷🤣
this car is an icon
Love me some rob dahm!
surprised it doesn't have a sequential
Yes Sir!
Hells yeah gringointegra.
Yesss mylessssss
Anybody know what those wheels are?
Honda B series are legendary.
I love tastefully tuned cars like this...just a few decals, a body kit and spoiler....no over the top sideways wheels and glittery livery 😒
Sweet @Dirtfish jacket
Keeping Spiker busy eh?
Fyi still H pattern shift..😮😮
Dang man
Legund!
