$3500 Integra Type R Quick Build - PT 1 of 2

[@y.b.-]

Man, no matter how many times I've watched your videos, all your projects, quick builds and series, I am still amazed at the lineup of cars you guys have put together ( and a bit jealous I admit LOL) The effort and dedication you put on EVRY single one of them is why IMO you're the very best in this "segment"

[@xKrispyx]

The LSD in the Integra will be the biggest difference maker on track, no question. Power’s useless if you can’t put it down. Loving this series!

[@MrGrentch]

+1000. IMHO the single biggest most noticeable difference between the JDM SiR I had and the Type R was the LSD in the latter. If I had a standard FWD Honda of that era and could only install one thing it would be an LSD. Actually I'd say that of any FWD of any era.

[@peopleschampgarage7869]

@@MrGrentch have you experienced a clutch type LSD like OSGiken? It's like opening cheat mode. Makes the OEM LSD feel like trash.

[@MrGrentch]

@@peopleschampgarage7869 I knew a guy who had a clutch type so I have. Great on track or going illegally hard on the road. Allegedly your honour...😁 but I found it harsh for everyday use. The OEM is more liveable with. Well my R's my daily so I'd have a different angle on things I suppose.

[@dancarlos1216]

I used to run a 195whp B20 vtec Integra on circuits and it had the stock open diff, I got left coming out of the slower corners where I couldn’t keep momentum.

[@jareddougherty8925]

@@MrGrentch yeah same here.. had a kaaz 1.5 way diff in my Integra. Less than a week later I swapped it for an oem type r helical and never looked back. It was straight up annoying for street use...

[@MrGrentch]

Dave, if I may be so familiar, 🙂personally I'd 100% have left the rear trailing arm bushing original Honda(new). They are the main(and patented) part of Honda's passive rear setup which was one of the things that made these chassis(and the EK9) so good for a FWD car and why they have this reputation down to today. They were _specifically_ designed to be more compliant to allow movement from front to back. It's meant to move that much back and forth, so under braking for corners etc toe in is increased according to load which increases stability. Putting harder bushings in there takes away from that well thought out setup and has a negative effect on the handling(poly bushes completely ruin it IMHO). I'd happily swap out all the rest for Hardrace stuff(nice quality) but would leave that one original Honda. Maybe the slightly stiffer Spoon replacements which were engineered to work with this system, but even those I find more "twitchy" than OEM.

[@GleepGlop2]

I don't know much about suspension but I wonder what parts of the Type R suspension were different from a regular Integra. I wonder if some of these upgrades will hurt the suspension. That said, new is better than old and worn out.

[@zeitgeist2720]

Regardless it’s better than what was in there 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MrGrentch]

@@GleepGlop2 There were quite a few differences. Thicker antiroll bars, heavier spring rates, different damper settings, stiffer bushings(some).

[@MrGrentch]

@@zeitgeist2720 Oh 100%, but for that particular bushing I'd go original Honda. Cheaper too.

[@TassieLorenzo]

Supposedly the replacement bushing that Honda sell now (52385-SR3-000 or 52385-S21-003) is a little bit stiffer than the original bushing. I dunno. 🤔

[@alwaysworking7899]

Matco makes a Honda specific ball joint tool for an air hammer, some of the best money I’ve ever spent as a Honda tech.

[@aroundomaha]

I love the two very different strategies and that you will be sorting it out on track. I've missed your track segment like the one you guys did comparing the Type R & Veloster N.

[@makikogi]

watch out with those chassis there's a really high likeliness of the subframe tearing with the upgraded RSB. I remember they used to sell super thick subframe braces for that chassis

[@jesselee4405]

I went with a 22mm on my type s for fear of that

[@ianm432]

It's less of an issue if you're running a serious motorsports coilovers. The rsb has a lot less work to do.

[@qleap99]

ASR is one of the major manufacturers that make a brace (and a bar that corresponds) but there are Asian suppliers that sell similar inexpensive braces now (and it's basically just a big slab of shaped metal).

[@fastnb]

Great video. Brings back memory's of my old track MG ZS 180, which basicly was an integra with a v6. These mods will help alot with laptimes.

[@TassieLorenzo]

These days the MG ZS is a compact SUV, lol, fun times (the same fate as the Mitsubishi Eclipse). Oh well. Those ZS 180s are cool cars -- they are extremely rare here in Australia! ☺ I hear the MG ZS 180 was the pick of the bunch compared to the MG ZR or MG ZT thanks to the double-wishbone suspension, better driving position & pedal layout (thanks Honda) etc? 😃

[@andysgaragetherapy]

Loved how many suspension goodies you put on the R! Talk about raiding the parts catalogue! This is going to be so sick when it’s done!🔥

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

Man, I need to copy and paste that shopping cart to mine (someday)! Great looking set up there and my first time seeing the Honed rear roll center correctors. Neat to see all the thoughtful, engineered mods going in versus solid heim joints everywhere and generic coilovers.

[@y.b.-]

[@uses0ap]

Highly recommend a rear subframe brace. The subframes on these cars (more so the civics) are constructed of thin metal. I've seen swap bars tweak/bend the subframe, and some have ripped out completely during track use.

[@thegodfreyspecial423]

Run the DWS09 on my VW Tiguan - even though its an all season it significantly outclasses the suspension. It runs out of composure before the tire breaks a sweat. Love em'

[@lloydgrandy8189]

Love to see the proper torquing under load for the suspension bushings.. Also nice to see some of the typical canadian car troubles like cutting the uca nut off the rear trailing arm etc... As a fellow canadian i was as scared as im sure you were with the big strong bar on the compensator arm bolt

[@Soundsaboutright42]

Had an Integra like this in college, had a lot of money into it. It was stolen out of my driveway, I still miss it to this day 13 years later.

Speed Academy, imagine stripping the whole underside of a DC2-R, grinding it back to bare metal and then restoring it as well as all the suspension and brakes on axle stands. Yep that was me, and NEVER AGAIN 😡🤣🤣🤣 I'm absolutely loving these videos guys, they have fantastic content. Keep up the good work.

[@RobOutdoors623]

I love these builds! Especially a “budget” build.

[@PACKERMAN2077]

Definitely I love to see budget bills and not the unrealistic expectations of professional shops with tons of gear and personnel and sponsored parts and cut to and cut to a Martha Stewart style and it's done bake syste. Even if it's a $50000 budget keep it realistic and keep it grounded so at least we know if we had 50K where our expectations lie. If this was a $5800 budget billed or a is build or a $30000 budget build, Show us everything we can do realistically to make the most out of that budget and that's what would be what would be satisfying.

[@casefc3s]

You guys were flying through those upgrades/fixes! I probably would've gotten like... one corner halfway off. xD I think this ITR is gonna be plenty quick.

[@MrGrentch]

As a complete aside.... I always wondered why Honda went with the Civic EK9 Type R wheels for the North American market? They had 15 inch versions of the JDM 16's that they fitted everywhere else like Europe, Australia etc, but for some reason went the the EK9's for NA. I can understand the lack of Recaro etc as they were trying to get them under a certain pricepoint but the wheels seemed to be a styling choice for those markets. Focus groups or something? Then again what has also long fascinated me is how the different market versions differed in so many ways. The obvious are the JDM fronts which were only for them, but NA got no Recaros, IIRC they didn't get the Momo steering wheels or the titanium gear knob. They did get the centre console with the Alacantara lid and the rear seat base got a plastic divider. Oddly the JDM rear seat backs don't directly fit the EU or NA market cars. The Canadian market ones went weirder again with red seats in the back as well as the front. Europe got a rear foglight, the rest of the world didn't(I think). Europe also got a heavy wooden panel over the spare wheel, Japan got a very light, but very bendy plastic panel. I dunno about the NADM ones. The Swiss got 100 Yellow with a yellow Recaro interior special editions. Australia alone got gold brake calipers for no obvious reason. Some markets got a rear wiper, some didn't. Then there were all the various different rear light clusters. And Acura branding for the NADM. That's before we get to differences under the car like different sized catalytic converters, different manifolds(headers), compression ratios, valve covers, anti roll(sway) bars and so on. In Japan nearly everything was option delete. Never mind the four stud JDM only the OG 96 spec cars, or the JDM runout Type R-X with all the options ticked and retractable mirrors, 6 speaker stereo setup, keyless entry and a slightly different shade of faux carbon fibre interior bits(which ironically made it the heaviest R built). Kinda crazy for such a relatively small production car worldwide. No wonder Honda lost money on every car sold. 😄 That would never happen to nearly the same degree today.

[@TassieLorenzo]

Whoa, you know your stuff about ITRs! That was very interesting.

[@MrGrentch]

@@TassieLorenzo So yoou're basically calling me a nerdy weirdo about DC2 Type R's? 😄 Yeah, guilty as charged Tassie.

Depends on the amount of rust, but old Civics/Integras/Preludes etc are pretty straight-forward cars for the most part! I'm not sure that older models like the first-gen City, AH Civic or CVCC have quite as much parts support though. 🤨 Whereas the EF, EG, EK stuff seems to be bread and butter for Honda tuners.
