1500hp, 216mph: This Is The World’s Fastest Honda Integra | American Tuned ft. Rob Dahm

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.

FWD for sure

[@kristoffer3000]

Depends on application but literally never fwd

[@that7772]

@@kristoffer3000 fwd is better than rwd in terms of like handling

[@kristoffer3000]

@@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.

@@ItsPainnz myles rocks that car the the store to get grocery's, it definitely gets driven on the street

[@wyattjackson977]

@@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 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

[@NomisChild1]

Myles!!! So crazy what that car has accomplished and its upset a ton of people over the years. Glad they both got some recognition.

[@wombatonsteroids]

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

This car is finally getting proper recognition. Question: how does the intake not suck in any rain water?

[@NBSV1]

Not something you’d normally be driving in the rain. It’s street drivable, but not a daily.

[@JDMEXforme]

@@NBSV1 ya i know but in the video its raining. How did the water not get into the intake?

[@NBSV1]

@@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!!!

[@chrisfurlough466]

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".

[@spdcrzy]

This is one of the only series of KZbin 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.

I was surprised it wasn't K Series or JDM swap. USDM engine seems to have potential after all.

[@angriinomad3527]

⁠@@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

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.

[@Ontheregz]

It’s called a B20

[@retrocompaq5212]

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

[@abel1997at]

Wow he made it far good job miles 👏🏻

[@chrisbaker7858]

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

[@fakeaccount4092]

[@effingwrecked1917]

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.

[@MindCrime550]

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.

[@babaarcuszatir]

What a monster!😎

[@boltonky]

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
