Is the Type R the Japanese version of the S, but w/the LDS and the more HP. Are they essentially the same engine?
With the original oil, I've heard some say as you do and some say that it is just standard oil.
well, the reason i say it is special oil, is something in the manual, or somewhere in our literature on the car, it talks about that bein a break-in step. i've heard some people have had pil consumption problems that changed it early..... dunno, i've gone 5k each time and i'm at 23k and over the course of that mileage, the lowest i was, was halfway between the two dots ( if i remember right ) and i had a firebird that ate oil like gas, so that's nothing in my mind
yeah, the jdm type-r, still gets the integra type-r name, 220 ( 217?) hp, lsd, no sunroof, tighter gear ratio... the aussie type r has the lsd, but the type s motor i believe.
the engine i believe has different cams, and i know the compression is boosted (don't quote me on the cams, i'm a little shaky on that one )
any more questions you have, i might not be able to answer, but one of the people on clubrsx might be able to, good luck :thumbup:
