Re: My 2000 Integra LS build thread

Power number's look like it's a pretty healthy build. I would check your intake ports and manifold for oil. Are you running the vent on the rear of the valve cover that goes into the intake arm like you have in one of your first pictures? If so that's the reason you are burning oil. These B18C1 like...

Re: Engine rebuild (OE vs Aftermarket)

Stay way from Ti retainers, stick with a good quality steel retainer for durability. The buddy club spec III look like a really nice cam from a quick google search. Don't be afraid to run aftermarket rods and pistons there are some really nice products out there. It's more about the engine builder, ...

Re: To K or not to K

Keep the B series in there that's my vote, keep the GS-R a GS-R. I feel like if it was an LS/RS Integra or a Civic a K series would be acceptable. If you want a K20 engine you can get a B series engine to the 2.0L mark pretty easily and it will put down a respectable 200whp plus on 93-91 pump gas wi...

Re: Brake Pads Discussion

Looks like a pricier option but i was running the EBC YellowStuff (s2k pads for dc2 Mugen AGBS kit) on my LS. Not sure on supported temps but are rated for Street and Track use, as well as listed for only moderate brake dust. When I was driving them daily I like them and didn't have an issue with d...

Re: Brake Pads Discussion

I wouldn't recommend Hawk HP+, they are very hard on rotors.... You are correct in observing pad dust properties. Both pads and rotors are wear items, but the dust properties are key. Pads that last longer are typically wear rotors faster and release more iron onto paint/wheels. I don't recall HP+ ...

Re: Brake Pads Discussion

Hawk does not recommend street use for the HP+, this is what concerns me with keeping them on the car year round. As an FYI: the car is driven under 2k miles a year. I wouldn't recommend Hawk HP+, they are very hard on rotors, I was not impressed with them. I had HPS as well and found them marginal...

Re: Tire Information Thread

I saw a pic of one that delaminated on track... IIRC, it was on some flavor of Mustang but I’ve got zero details on the incident so take it with a grain of salt. Edit: Here’s the pic. https://i.postimg.cc/VL9f84Nh/image.png That looks like production issues with the thread separating form the belt....

Re: Tire Information Thread

I have BFG Rival S 1.5 in 205 on 15X8 rims and RS3's in 205 on a 16X7 the Rivals are hands down better. At Waterford Hills I ran a 1:26.4 with the RS3 in the morning then switched to the Rival in the afternoon after lunch and got to a 1:22:7. There was just so much more grip with the Rival and Wate...
