In Japan the highest trim level of the 2nd Gen Integra was the RSi correct? And that was roughly equivelent to the USDM GS-R. Now, I was wondering, does the JDM B17 also produce only 160hp?

I've heard that the G2 Teg has good handling characteristcis (from a lower cg?) then the G3 but ... the powerplant....

If anyone knows more please respond

 

Yes it only makes 160hp. Its really just a slightly bigger B16. It has 117lb-ft of torque compared with the B16 111lb-ft. As for the handling being better that has not been my experience at all. All my friends have g3s and i they all better sports cars then the g2s all around. A little quicker and better handling.

 

the highest trim level in japan is the xsi, the rsi is more equivalent to the usdm gs. and they both had a b16a, only the usdm gsr had a b17a.

 

I have own a G2, but I've driven the 3G on a regular basis.......and to be honest..I notice very little difference between the G2 and G3 LS models....handling; the G3 handling feels a little more tight (race-car like) but the G2 feels more sure footed ( I feel more confident in the G2 turning at high speeds. It is also a bit lighter than the G3
