The Acura Integra GS-R model was first developed in 1992. It was available in the second and third generation body style. The GS-R model is equipped with a 1.8 liter VTEC (variable valve timing) engine which is capable of 170 Horse power. The GS-R was the second car behind the NSX to get the VTEC engine. During the mid 1990's the Acura Integra GS-R was one of the most powerful non turbo charged cars available in the American market.
VTEC engines are known to be reliable, so reliable that Honda or Acura has never had a warranty claim on the VTEC systems (Top Gear). The Specific engine that is in the Integra GS-R is known as the B18c1 (picture).The GS-R came equipped with a dual-stage intake manifold, ported exhaust manifold and a displacement increase from the second generation. The Variable valve timing technology was developed to get max power out of an engine yet still maintain reliability. The GSR has a specific rate per minute (RPM) where the VTEC will engage. When VTEC engages the camshaft that is designed for low rpm will switch over to a camshaft that is designed more for higher rpm's. VTEC is a solution for reliability and performance.
