So i was at my freinds house playing beer pong 2 nights ago and i met this one guy, huge honda guy[&:] and we get to talking about our cars. He has a 92 integra and is making 190hp, then he goes on to say that he should be able to do the 1/4 in 14 flat. You think that is feasible, i know its a light car, but with only 190 hp?

 

no
thats a stock integra, its a 16 second car

 

if its 190whp yes.... it can reach 14.0 But since he said 190 im sure he is talking about the STock 190hp they come with so I doubt it.

 

In 1992 the only Integra that had decent power was the GSR, and it only had 160hp out of a 1.7L engine. Where did you guys get 190hp? If he really does have 190hp, not whp, than no he cant hit a flat 14, but if hes modded enough to have 190whp, than yeah I can see a flat 14. His car weighs alittle over 2600lbs, so he is pretty light, but not a 14 second flat 1/4 mile light. Not even the newer GSR's from 2000-2001 had 190hp, they only had 170hp, but the Type-R that was very very rare did have 195hp.

 

I thought 190 stock was High for them (maybee RSX 190??) but OP said 190 so if its whp definately can hit 14.0'.

 

The base model RSX only has 160hp I believe, and depending on the year, the Type-S has between 200-210.

 

he didn't specify whp or not. when most people talk about hp. it's usually crank. so i'm going to assume the dude has a gsr motor with some goodies in it. doubt he has the type-r, he would've said 195hp instead of 190hp.

14 flat... idk. the type-r, stock form can only do mid 14's. even though his 92 integra is just a little bitlighter. i'm stil going to say he can't do 14 flat. maybe low to mid 14's.

 

If he has a 190 to the wheels, then it's possible. No integra stock came with 190 to the wheels though, the type R came with 190 at the crank. If I'm not mistaken, the GSR wasn't introduced untill 94 BUT I COULD BE WRONG.There's an all motor Type R around here with 197 to the wheels, but it's been heavily modded. The RSX-S has 200 hp at the crank. I've heard of people getting into the mid 14s in an almost stock integra, but I've never seen it personally.

 

a buddy of mine had a Integra with a b18c swap, he said it laid 180whp but when he took it down he couldnt even break into the 14's.

 

The Acura GS-R came out in 1992 equiped with the B17A ( 1.7L DOHC) which put out 160 HP. It went 0-60 in 7.1 and completed the 1/4 in 15.5. The most powerfull Integra was the Integra Type-R, introduced in the US in 1997. It was powered by the B18C5 ( 1.8L DOHC )which put out 195 HP. It could go from 0-60 in 6.5 and complete the 1/4 in 14.7.

I would say that unless this guy has some sort of forced induction ( Turbo or S/C ), there is no way he is putting down 190 HP to the wheels, which would be around 225 Crank HP ( Estimate ). Thats a 65 HP increase over stock, or about a 40% increase. Which I would say would be gotten by adding a Turbo or S/C.

The most likely case IMO is that he has slapped on a few bolt ons and is guessing that he is now at 190 HP ( Crank ), and that theres no way this guy is hitting 14 flat, I seriously doubt that he is even breaking 15 in all reality. Seeing as how a 195 HP Type-R can barely break 15, and it is lighter and geared better.

Now, if the guy is Turboed or S/C'd, then he may be hitting 190 WHP. But even then, I seriously doubt hes ever hitting 14 flat. I would say that car at that power would be hitting 14.5 at absolute best. Just take a look under the hood for a turbo or S/C, if theres not one there, I say that the guy is completely full of BS.
