whats the deal with a type-r stock? what times would it get and how would it compete with a maxima?

The few that I have seen run in the 14.6 area stock.

 

Stock vs stock an IRT will hand it to a 4th gen 5spd, properly driven they are mid 14 second cars. Improperly driven they are all over the map. Your only hope is to beat the driver because the car itself is faster than the Max.

 

That's ITR hehe

 

It may be an ITR model but Acura still means:

ASIA'S CURSE UPON RURAL AMERICA.

 

 

never heard that one but i like it.

 

Word!! I saw this one guy come to Etown and run consistent 17 second ETs with his ITR. Most of the folks at the track were like WTH?!? But a good driver can do mid-upper 14s with it.

 

thats pathetic.

 

17s? is he shiftin at like 3000rpm or somethin.... i can get better than that with my eyes closed

its a overrated sporty compact...... we r family sedans, if we lose no one cares, if we win we embarassed the ITR, its a win win

02 03 maxs can take the ITR tho

 

'02-'03 Max's "could" take the ITR...not can.

 

The ITR is a Racing Machine, though not tuned well at stock, With a Perfect Driver it should run around 14.6, It has a Specially Tuned TRanny, Special Headers and a whole other lost of differnt things other than its Predasesor the GSR. With a normal every day driver it should be competion with a 4th Gen 5spd. Also The Integra was the #1 Jaked car in the US for a couple years, Now its the Camry though, HAHAHAHA Id rather have a 4th Gen

 

some have actually hit 14.3 stock in the ITR

but as its been said...times are all over the map...TQ sucks, Vtec is amazing and not many know how to drive um

 

Yes ITR is a mid 14s cars. Very nice cars. Wish I had LSD too.

 

if you were canadian you would have it

 

does LSD even do that much for drag racing...i guess you might hook up better but besides that i thought it was more for the twisties

 

No, it does virtually nothing. The people that think it's going to make them launch hard are kidding themselves. If you can't launch well without the LSD, you won't be any better with it.

 

yeah the stock lsd doesn't do much anyways, even on turns, its activated very late, quaife is much better.

i thought on open diff cars, on straight line the power was in a 50/50 distribution to the right and left drive wheels, however i was watching a 1/4 mile race with a 4th gen (someone on the org, can't remember who) and he had an incredibly slow launch, with smoke coming from just the right (passenger side) tire. is this because of the open diff?

 

Why are these cars fast? They only have 130tq. I understand at higher speeds they must be incredible but for a 1/4 mile just looking at it's specs I wouldn't expect it do do very well in that range.
Is it because it weighs 2600lbs or what? I guess I'm just ignorant about this.
The reason this amazes me is that the 4th gen maximas only weighs 400lbs more, however we have 75 more torque than the ITR at 4000 RPM's whereas the ITR is peaked at 130tq at 7500 RPM's.
Both cars are front wheel drive.

 

This little girl spits, growls and bites !!! OUCH !

VTEC!

you most likely get to 4th gear in a 1/4 mile in a ITR
3rd gear VTEC is amazing!

When I was stock I raced a couple of GS-Rs at the track. I was running about 15.0. They ran about 14.9. I would be winning the race by a couple of car lengths until they got into 3rd gear. Then they would pass me just before the line as if I was standing still.

 

i have raced a few ITRs at atco the past couple of years. the quickest stock setup i've run against ran like a 14.5-6 (can't remember exactly.) needless to say i haven't lost to a stock ITR motor with the usual intake/exhaust. i've even beat one with NOS on it, but the guy driving it supposedly had a dying clutch. the very first time i raced one i thought it would be close or that i might even lose. i only had the intake/ypipe at the time and i seriously smoked him! i was surprised he was that far back.

 

its definitely a drivers race

 

There is NO WAY that was a real ITR. Alot of people make their crappy GS's or LS's look like ITR's by spraying them with yellow paint or putting a knock-off wing on em. It was probably a fake.

 

I agree. If you SUCK and I mean suck you could run 16s. ACTUALLY let me think for a sec...there is a way to run 17s. If you dont go into VTEC you would be slow cause thats where the power is. So that guy must have been shifting at 4-5k RPM which means that he is a complete dumbass and he doesnt deserve the car and I SHOULD GET TO HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

ITR has always been my dream car

 

It was probably a GS/LS Teg with an automatic and Type-R stickers. Those run about 17's.

 

No. It was legitimate: B18C5 engine block stamp, 5 lug ITR wheels, red-stitched upholstery, etc,... The guy just happened to confuse drag racing with cruising, I guess.

 

I believe you man. That dude is lame. He should truely get rid of his ITR and buy a lexus or something

 

17's is about 3 slower than a respectable run in an ITR, I pity that guy.

 

when i had intake on my car only , I raced my friends all the time... lower end (1+2nd) i would pull pretty well, 3rd would balance out to almost even by the end of it, 4th - whew, he would pull the couple cars back and pass me over 100mph when i added ypipe (14.3 1/4), it even did not help the highspeed racing too much.

ITR's are nice cars, and HANDLE soo well. they do lack somewhat in tq compared to vq yes, but they are good engines and i'm sorry you have to give vtec credit in that car... some cars it is a joke and fun to laugh about, but vtec in the ITR is nice in an odd way. High compression though makes boosting them rough, and if you blow that motor, whew - have you seen replacement $ for their engines? ugh.

 

they also have like 11 to 1 compression

 

me and 96sleeper saw a TC ITR running high 11s. He spun tires until 4th every time I think.

 

yeah they have a crazy 3rd gear i ran 2000 itr in my old 2000 5speed with i/b-y pipe/udp from 70 he pulled almost a car then i caught up and pulled a little over a car length in 4th gear up to about 115 .

 

I raced my g/f's roommate at the drag night at the local airstrip against her Integra GS-R with a intake and exhaust. I smoked her off the line with my 99 GXE auto dead stock, but she shifted into third gear and all I saw were taillights up to the finish. How much in mods and more particularly which mods would allow my big white dreadnought to get some revenge on that nasty Acura? She won't stop razzing me about it even though I tell her you beat a stock auto Max.

 

well you need more hp. so id recommend intake.. if not then get a 2k2.

 

Already on the way, I'm buying an Injen. Also I've got my cousin who is the parts manager at a Nissan dealership in New Orleans to check what his price (whlsle) would be on the intake, b-pipe, and exhaust. I'll be damned if I let my g/f's roommate have the last laugh on this.

 

exactly.

 

Man you guys must have some quick tracks for a stock ITR to go 14.6s. Here in Kansas City high 14s-low 15s are common for the stock and lightly modded ITRs. The quickest ITR at my track is driven by an older guy who's heavy involved in SCCA racing. His ITR has a catback, Comptech header, Comptech intake, autocross tires on the stock 15s, and no back seat. He consistently runs 14.4-14.5@97mph with 2.1 60 foots. He's a nice guy and pretty knowledgable too.
