98Teg Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 ok, so now for another question now that that question was answered, when looking for parts, now that i know gens, i have a 3rd Gen Teg RS, when looking for parts if it says Type R does that mean i cant use it? do i need parts specifically for my model?

BigBirdSucks Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 for engine parts, you want parts for a non-VTEC integra. I'm pretty sure all exterior parts are interchangable. what are you wanting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Teg Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 just been looking around, saw many things, just forgot the site, it was mainly for the engine i think, http://inlinefour.com/apgtexman.html look there it says for Integra 94-01 GSR, now does this mean i cant get it because i have an RS?

optional187 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 gsr = b18c1 with vtec rs = b18b non-vtec you want to look for non-vtec parts (b18b). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Teg Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 would it be worth it to make the change? im only 17, or should i just it as a non-vtec, and which would be better for my car and why, a 4-2-1 or a 4 into 1, im looking at coximport.com at the DC headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Before you get a header or ANYTHING, get a manual transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Teg Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 if i had wanted a manual transmission i would've gotten it, the problem is, i live in NJ, not exactly where you want to drive a manual car, so since i was the first of friends to get a licsense i decided to still get the car i like (Integra) just to get it as an automatic as well that way i wouldnt have to deal with all the troubles, my 2nd car of course will be manual, and i look forward to it, but i just bought the car, and if i wanted a manual i would've just bought it manual to begin with, so for my question again, with the automatic and the non-vtec is it worth doing anything to my engine?

..SSR.. Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hell no. All you will do is take away from the resale value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Teg Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 hehe, k, thanks, honesty is what counts, although it was a hell no, better than a hell yes and a waste of money can still work on the visual aspect of my car though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 any money you put into that car will be a waste. if you plan on buying a car with a manual tranny next, go ahead and move on to the next car. i was the first of my friends to get a car, and a got a civic with a 5spd...its not that hard to drive a stick, just get one and quit being so scared of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Teg Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 i dont plan on buying another car until i get out of college (6 years) so whatever changes i made to my car, i would just sell the parts later or swap them---if you ever drove a car in Jersey you would realize how hard it is to drive stick, with the dense population, the traffic, i just dont think it would be worth it, i watch my friend drive, and its not worth shifting up then downshifting every two blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 to answer your question...since you have that mindset, no. it wouldn't be worth doing anything to your engine at all. you can't race an automatic. you can't race in dense population. there is no point in doing anything that adds horsepower, because you have no way of using it. rims, bodykit, subs, and a big ass sticker that says tYpIkLe RiCe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Teg Posted November 21, 2003 Author Share Posted November 21, 2003 hehe, no bodykit, cant have those, the roads here suck too much, not flat, too many hills and sudden increases, so a bodykit would be pointless, it would get scratched up too quickly, chances are, that if i do anything to my car, ill get it painted, change the side mirrors/get them painted, and give myself a nice stereo system, but that is all, no rice, no od on the features, just big enough to satisfy myself, but not big enough to attract attention that i dont want maybe when i got into college ill trade my car in and get a teg type r manual, but how much of a price difference do you think there would be assuming they had the same amount of mileage, for example if i bought a Manual Trans. Teg Type R with say 60k miles on it, all stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 There is tons of traffic here. Once I get into the city (I live in a suburb) I am shifting every two seconds. Its easy. DO NOT EVER GET AN INTEGRA TYPE R. Especially since you won't even give it the respect it deserves by calling it a "teg". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 just keep your car and continue to rice slowly add rice to it over the years. you will get respect from all your friends that don't know anything about engines, which will keep you satisfied. and you won't have any performance...since apparently you can't have a car with a manual transmission if you live in the city.

98Teg Posted November 21, 2003 Author Share Posted November 21, 2003 if i didnt call it a teg, which i see it called in a lot of places, what would i call it? im just trying to keep in mind which would interest me, and not only that, but what would be good, im not looking for a car that only interests me, but i want a car that gains respect from other people, hence why i started talking on this site, just so i can learn more and be able to eventually have a car that i can brag about being my own, and doing all the work on it myself, so if i say anything stupid, just tell me so i know better for next time, like i know now that the term "teg" is not a good word to use for the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ND40oz Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 You can make an auto pretty quick. It's going to cost you more then it would to make a manual quick though. You'll have to get a higher stall torque converter so you can launch at higher rpms. Not sure how it's going to work with the engine managment, you'd have to take it to a good shop who have worked with auto's. Once you get all that straightened out, then you can do some internal work or add a supercharger or even a turbo. You'll want a quicker spooling turbo though with the auto since you don't have the extra gear to play with. Also, you'll need to remember to buy some exterior parts specifically for the 94 to 97. 98 they changed some things, such as the front and rear bumpers, the taillights and some other minor cosmetic changes.

98Teg Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 i have a 98, so why would i got to 94-97? should i have called it an ITR? or is teg just a bad word in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ND40oz Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 my bad, make sure you buy them for a 98 through 01 then, losing my head. Also they made some changes after 99, but I think it was only to the gsr and it's motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 calling it teg isn't really all that bad...its just typical slang. just like teggy. call it whatever you want (i call my car G because its a gs-t...go figure). personally, i think it would be a really big waste of money and time to make a automatic go fast. just do exterior stuff, but nothing to major. mirrors wouldn't be bad like you said, a differen't paint job (just make sure you do door sills and engine bay etc so it looks good), lower it, rims (nothing to ricey like chrome. just get some 17'' racing style wheels...tenzo's or enkei's), intake/exhaust (muffler or rear section should do fine since you're not looking for speed) get a lip kit to make it look a little better and you should be set, unless you want a small system in it (i wouldn't do anything big...but i'm not really a audio person). if you did that then you would have a car that you could brag about and you would get respect from other people.

VR17 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 calling it teg isn't really all that bad...its just typical slang. just like teggy. call it whatever you want (i call my car G because its a gs-t...go figure). typical slang? hmm....i wonder if i should call mine..
