Integra Question (vti-r Engine)

[adu]

ey guys, this is an absolutely noob question but im gonna ask it anyway


i know that integra's vti-r have b18 and i know what the rocket cover looks like.


im actually looking for an integra and i came across this integra from a car dealer

it states its a 96-97 model integra vti-r



i always assumed that the b18 vti-r motor was always like the one below

mate you dont need to have a turbo to have gaugues.. you can get gauges to monitor a number of different functions from battery voltage to exhaust temp to oil pressure

[xtat1k]

wat kind of gauge is it ? it could just be a water or oil pressure/temp gauge. doesnt have to be a boost gauge.

[94dc2tegz]

the blue thing is a VAFC and the round thing is ... i duno could be anything.
it's rice ok. thats all it is lol.

[Chi]

you dont need turbo to have guages lol

That is an apexi VAFC, for dispaying various things like rev's, speed etc.

And the other could be a oil temp, or water temp or even oil pressure gauge.


I seriosuly hope u bring someone along that knows his stuff when u go look at the car to buy.

LMAOOO

thanks guys for answering so fast

:D *thumps up*



argh im trying to avoid RICER'S lmao

[adu]

LMAO @ CHI

yeh of course dude ..

:D

[xtat1k]

adu, talk to me on msn if you need to know anything else.

oil pressure/temp guage helps give u a clear reading of when its is in optimum time for vtec, as vtec does not engage/work when the motor/oil is cold and not at the right pressure

the vafc is a very good tool for reading a more precise performance of the car during operation, if the car has been tuned or is going to be tuned this is a very very good part to have and they retail at like $300 not inc installation or tuning

i would ask if the car has been tuned, what are the kms and year and price of the car?

also it is very easy to put the spark plug cover back on, i think the traders here sell them

[adu]

cool man

its roughly on 133km

[TheSaint]

i would also move that pod closer to the front of the car... it would get alot of heat soak wer it is

i had a Injen CAI system on my vti-r it was both quieter (more so an expensive sports car sound, less rice) and it was very clean gave nice fuel econ too =)

[est1989]

how much is the car going for?

[Tu88y]

Just look for the engine number
it should say B18C = DC2
