Hello and welcome to my Type R''s Web Site. My name is Lee and I own a 2001 Acura Integra Type R, The engine Is completely stock along with the interior. At a blaring 8400 rpm, the Acura Integra Type R's pistons are pedaling at 80 feet per second -much higher than the commonly accepted threshold of 67 feet per second. That's close to the piston speeds in Formula 1 and Indy-car engines, which have much shorter strokes than the under square Integra power plant. When the Type R's tach hits 5700 rpm (or even less, depending on the throttle position), the VTEC system switches over from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde with an audible blare, and the engine sets about scaling its 195-horsepower peak at 8000 rpm with alacrity. Yes, that's almost 200 hp from a 1797cc engine, but before you reach for that calculator, I can tell you that it works out a specific output of 108.5 horses per liter. The fabulous Ferrari F355 produces just 107.3 horses per liter from its five-valve V-8. This baby will leave those Elise owners crying for more power after 100 mph, because unlike the Elise, this car will continue accelerating to over 140 mph, with a 118 bhp.
