1992 Acura Integra LS review from North America

"I love my Integra I think that Acura did a great job with this car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The exhaust rusted out before I got the car so, I replaced it with 2.5" and removed the catalytic converter.

Once the car was turbo charged with 200,000 miles both the stock axle's broke.

When I got the car the clutch had been replaced with a zoom clutch, but it soon died due to 8lbs of boost. the zoom is about to be replaced with an ACT 6 puck and 7lb flywheel because it would slip under full boost in 4th and 5th gear.

Some of the heater buttons stopped working at some point before I bought the car ex. the defrost.

Power seat belts were replaced at 200,000 because they became to slow to deal with.. but the dealer replaced them and washed my car for free. A++ for the local Acura dealer.

Timing belt has been replaced around 160,000 right before I bought the car.

General comments?

The 1.8L B18 motor is a very strong motor with a lot of potential. To give you some idea I will tell you my story. at 200,000 miles I decided I was going to start on a custom turbo project although my first turbo setup was very basic. It still was hard on the stock motor. Now I am at 215,000 miles and 10,000 of those were turbo its starting to smoke a little (like every other high mileage Honda). To cut to the point, I expected to blow this motor in a matter of weeks, but it simply never happened. I am now planing to tear it down and put 8.5:1 JE pistons and eagle rods in it. I plan to run 12lbs this time around. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks,

Joe Randall.
