Hey I'm not sure if this should be in the Integra or the ITR forum. But I wanted to know the exact differences between the two cars. I have one LS and one GSR, One of those I want to convert into an ITR (Probably the GSR). My LS I am thinking about going LS/VTEC with using the GSR motor. I will be purchasing a front clip. But I just wanted to know what other differences. like what suspension parts exactly and whatever I don't know. Thanx

 

the ITR chassis has reinforcments that other trims do not:

-thicker metal around the rear wheel wells
-thicker b-pillar
-rear LCAs are thicker
-different subframe
-better dampeners
-progressive rear springs

it really goes on...

 

I think the ITR suspension is considerably different, but I don't really know the specifics.
I hope you get a bunch of good responses.

you may need to sign up there to read it, well worth it.

 

Actually, it's not that different. Maybe the spring and dampening rates are different, but the suspension swap is not that big a deal. My GS has ITR springs, shocks/struts, lower control arms and an ITR rear swaybar. The swaybar is the only part that required much custom work to use (BEAKS kit). To use ITR rear struts I had to swap out my GS LCA's for ITR LCA's. The swap lowered my car very slightly and gave it a much firmer ride.

from the sounds of this I hope you are not doing this yourself. LS/VTEC doesnt mean putting a vtec motor in an LS. Its adding vtec your existing LS engine.

 

You could probably sell both cars and buy a Type-R and have something left over as opposed to the money your gonna spend converting it over.

 

Yes! ITR with something left over = > one LS and one GSR swapped and chopped.

 

? Ummm I'm using the LS block and the GSR head...

 

Nah I'd rather modify then buy :-P
