I think that is a base model Integra. I have an '04 Type S and it makes 200 horsepower with a 6-speed manual transmission. The 05-06 Type S trims make 210 horsepower with a k20z1 engine. Although I live in the states so I'm not 100% sure if the Type S over there is any different from over here. But other than that, very nice video, i loved the commentary and everything else was spot on, great work, keep it up :) Edit: Just did some background research and yes they are very different here in the states, i guess you could say the Type S here is "our Type R". Again, very cool video, glad I got to see someone who loves their Type S as much as I love mine. Best of luck from your DC5 bro from California. Can't wait to see whats in store for your Type S
Yep you're right, here in nz, the NZ new type R's make 200hp, and the facelift Type S makes 210hp, both with 6 speeds. The japanese import type S's only make 160hp (like mine), and the type R's make 220hp. So basically mine looks the same as the NZ new type S, but because it's an import it has the k20a3 rather than the k20a2
Our base is their type s because they have the type R. Here in the states we have the base model which Is exactly what hes showing in the video, and then we have the type s rsx which is our "Type R" equivalent. Theres no point for them to have a type s and type r, it's the same thing (with a power downgrade)
@@turbo2greedy kinda, if you remove the confusing naming for different markets and just replace them with letters it makes more sense. Integra A: 160hp model (same for pre-facelift and post-facelift) Integra B: 200hp model (only pre-facelift) Integra C: 210hp model (post-facelift, basically replacement to integra B) Integra D: 220hp model (only as the JDM pre and post facelift type R) The US, Canada, Australia and NZ got Integra, A and B, and later facelift A and C. Japan got A and D. And because we're able to import cars from Japan here, we end up with all 4 different models. So rather than thinking of my old car as a dud type s, think of it as a base model with the type S kit because after all Japan got the type R anyway so there's no need for them to have integra B or C
I got out of my '02 Type S one day in 2018 and some probably early 70ish year old guy says what a beautiful car it was and what dealership he could go to to buy one. He actually thought it was a car that had just come out and wanted to order a new one. I explained to him it was a 16 year old car and he was completely baffled lol. These cars really do have timeless looks and I truly believe they were one of the last JDM car that offered a pure driving experience first over everything else before everything began to get dull, conservative, and just flat-out generic.
When the rsx first came out, everyone said it was very flashy. With time now a lot of the sportier cars are even more flashy. I think that is what makes it age well.
JDM means Japanese Domestic Market, i.e. sold in Japan and then imported somewhere else. Pre-facelift Integras sold in Japan were the iS and Type R (what I have now), and the post-facelift were Type S and Type R. I know the JDM Type S isn't as good as the NZDM, AUDM or USDM Type S models, but it's still JDM.
Thanks for this video.. I am about to get one myself.. And lucky for me it has a k24 engine swap.. Hondata... Love this car.. And the type r version as well... Thanks for this video really appreciate this right here
Ooh very nice I'd be interested to know how a k24 swap goes compared with a JDM type R. I'm guessing if it's hondata tuned too it'll surely be quicker?
@@KiwiCarLife well I am not sure as yet.. Cause it's a jdm model... But when time comes will keep you posted.. Jus know from what I have seen.. It has some dog in it.. But to compare it to a type r.. Might have to do some more work on it after.. By then will see its true potential.. Still waiting for all paper works to go through so.. As soon as I get it will let you know what's up
@@KiwiCarLife hey I got the car... And Jus as u said.. It has Hondata... Going have to get some videos of it... Any question u want to ask.. U can.. Oh it's Jus like your car... 5 speed... Only thing it's leather interior... But no sun roof.. Its a real special car
The NZ new type s's have a K20A2 with 200hp (pre-facelift) or K20Z1 with 210hp (facelift), but mines an import so it's basically a base model (iS) that looks like a type S, coz it doesn't have stuff like a sunroof either. But yeah kinda unluggy for us
Yes so i finally had this car over 5 months now.. And I haven't gotten a chance to race against a integra type r but raced against a 2019 civic type r.. Held its own but my car needed servicing... Took on the highway and opened it up and must say I was pleased to see how fast the car is.. Doing anywhere between 240 to 250 kmh and with more mods I should be able to go 260 or more ..going to get it dynoed will let you know the numbers after I get that done.. But so far I have killed most cars... Modded or none.. Only a amg Benz and the civic type r didn't have come out the way I wanted.. But soon lol
Wow are you sure you've got a JDM type S? They've only got 160hp, the NZ new ones have 200hp. I kept up/beat some surprisingly fast cars like WRX's and a few like silvias and SR20 primeras in this, but I would be surprised if I could get much more than 200 out of it. I dunno that's cool tho!
This is the third comment now you are just digging a hole showing how little you know. As it turns out Jermaine's car has a K24 swap hence why it was able to keep up.
Only a 5-speed? The 1.4 civic already had a 6-speed... Anyway, I always liked this car, it looks very 90s for a 2006 car, but in a good way. I has the sex apeal the last Prelude lost. A shame it never came to Europe!
Yeah this was one of the very last 5 speed Hondas - Europe got 6 speeds earlier because u guys travel at greater speed and don't want to be revving at 3.5k on the motorway like this thing would
Do you have any recommendations for performance modding a completely stock dc5 type s (in NZ as well). I thought like the standard air intake, pod filter and maybe an induction kit. I would like to hear your thoughts on what some simple performance mods might be for this car that won’t bleed my wallet really. Thanks
@@KiwiCarLife Thanks for your response boss :) Super hyped to get my hands on one. That’s true enough I guess I’ll just make it sound loud and then make it look better (rims, big spoiler, lower) and that should be all
Great! This was my first car and I loved it. Good amount of power to learn car control (which I definitely needed because I was a terrible driver back when I made this video haha)
That's interesting the AU deliverd type S Integra has a 6 speed man, 154kw (207hp) a red line that starts at 8,000rpm and reads up to 9,000rpm on tachometer. Didn't realise the JDM was so under spec compared to the AU deliverd one, still a nice car just surprising.
Yeah of course this was not how I normally drive, I just did it for the video. And I wasnt pushing the car much so at no point did I feel even close to being out of control. Also I know that road very well, but yes you make a good point ill be sure to be careful
@LOUi TUBE you don't know what you're talking about bro. Of course they didn't just sell Type R's in Japan. Pre facelifts were iS and Type R, and post facelift was Type S and Type R.
In terms of handling, they have the same geometry and if they had the same tires there wouldn't be much to choose between them. The Type R is substantially faster though, and has a mad VTEC kick. Watch some of my later videos with my type r and decide for yourself
I remember your car. I have seen it around Johsonville. I have a white Type S same as yours. I remember a few years back when coming home and a car just like yours was behind me, you were chasing, pushing me to go faster until I eventually turned down a side street. Do you still have the car?
Oh that's you with the white pre facelift! I remember that... Back when I drove like an absolute idiot. Much more mature now. And nah it got written off unfortunately
@@KiwiCarLife Hard not to drive silly in a Teg sometimes, they are fun to drive. I started to watch some of your recent vids and noticed you have upgraded to something way better (CL9). I still have mine and hopefully down the road when I get more dollars I was going to turbo the K20A3. I heard don't go above 300hp, engine will blow, not as strong as the K20A2/Z1. I am aiming for well below, about 250hp max, I also want to upgrade exhaust headers and intake manifold. So turbo, exhaust, intake, then ecu tune. Just enough to get to 250hp, still want a daily driver.
Late reply but have recently discovered this engine doesn't have the i-VTEC we've come to know and love. It's got the cheaper VTEC-E for fuel economy. Basically runs on two valves per cylinder and then goes up to 4 at higher rpm, hence why no kick at 5000rpm.
Yes and more just the bad weather - LSD doesn't make too much of a difference on launch with this power level. More when coming out of corners to stop one tyre fire
