TYPE R

Fans of this legendary model will know that there are two variants of the Integra Type-R, the 96-Spec and the 98-Spec. In 1995 Honda took the Integra Si-VTEC/SiR and made extensive improvements to both the chassis and the B18C powerplant to produce the 96-Spec Type-R. The result was to become a legend, not only amongst Honda enthusiasts but also with performance car fans world-wide. The Integra Type-R is instrumental in establishing the Type-R badge as Honda's assurance of performance at the highest level.

Improvements to the chassis made the Integra Type-R unanimously accepted as the best handling FF car in the world, a title only taken over by the new 2001 DC5 i-VTEC Integra Type-R. The tuning Honda did to the B18C to make it a B18C-Spec-R is even more legendary, squeezing a then hereto unheard of 111 ps per litre specific power output from the 1.8l engine to deliver 200ps ! The engine was designed to run with RON-100 petrol and is spec'ed by Honda to do the 100kph standing start acceleration in 6.2 seconds ! It was also the first Integra model to do the standing-400m dash in less than 15 seconds.

While increasing durability and reliability, also increased compression, lowered friction, and maximized air output to create and engine that can rev to 8400RPM, and create 200hp. In order to achieve this accomplishment, over 60 custom parts were created.

	Camshaft - Wide-angled, high-lift, high-durability camshaft

	Crankshaft - Full-balancer, 8-weight, high-output, custom crankshaft
	Connecting Rod - Custom TypeR rod, high-durability, lightened
	Pistons - High-compression, low-friction, custom pistons
	Inlet Valves - Lightened inlet valves
	Intake Manifold - Custom tuning, single-port type.
	Throttle Body - 62mm wide-mouth throttle body.
	Inlet Valve Springs - High-lift, flat-surfaced, dual-layered spring

GC-DC2 Integra Type-R 98-Spec

In early 1998, Honda made enhancements to the Integra Type-R to make it the 98-Spec. To the engine, Honda added a stainless steel 4-1 header with detailed improvements to the camshafts, port & polish techniques and other areas. Engine power remained at 200ps but the power/torque characteristics are now improved, especially in the much needed mid-range. The max-torque is increased slightly from 18.5 kg-m to 19.0 kg-m and the max-torque point is brought down to 6200rpm (from more than 7000rpm) but there were no improvements to the low-cams portion of the power curve - an area where the B18CR is quite weak. The chassis received even further improvements; the suspension, brakes, even the tyre/rims were improved to make the 98-Spec Integra Type-R quite faster than the 96-Spec version.
