VTEC's not a big deal. I suppose if you had to compare it to a turbo, it's similar to being boosted by 2-3 lbs. with lots of turbo lag (5700 rpms worth) ITR's speed lies not in the engine so much as a stiff chassis, shorter than short gear ratios, limited-slip differential, good aerodynamics and tenacious grip assuming you don't use POS tires

Senor, s2000. I have of course the Mugen E.C.U. Spoon plug wires, spoon flywheel, Aem CAI, AEM adjustable fuel regulator, Buddy club Racing spec 3 exhaust, Mugen low temp thermostat, Mugen radiator cap, Jun cam gears and that's it for now.as far as the S2k 0
- to 60 I don't know yet, but the Vtec kicks in quick as hell :twisted:

Kabob.
Sweet comparison! Since I've owned a turboed car before I can relate
to boost and turbo lag.

Kangbateh.
Nice mods! How much have you spent on the mods already?

Have any of you seen a TL headlight conversion on an integra.
Looks way better than the jdm hdlights...IMO.
I've heard only good things about the itr. So what is the favorite part
of driving your itr?

The TL headlight conversion is called the "Cali Type R" front end and it is the nastiest thing I've ever seen on an Integra short of this one dude that fabricated 98+ Camaro headlights on his front end :roll:

About $4,000 dollars. my favorite thing about driving my ITR is when I drop it in first gear and those revs shoot up past 4300 RPM and the Vtec kicks in which makes the beast sound even nastier and I take it all the way down to it's rev limit. To me the best part is when that VTEC kicks in it's like a hot girl during good sex having an orgasam. she's already feeing it and it's already good, but then she gets that orgasam which makes her go even crazier. That may sound nut's, but that's what the engine sound like to me it just starts pulling hard and well... you know. :twisted:
