2024 Acura Integra Type S // Road Review, Drag Race + Lap Time

The 2024 Acura Integra Type S ($58,328 starting in Canada, $51,995 starting in the US) is a brand new performance sedan that shares the same 2.0 L turbocharged VTEC engine as the Civic Type R. Being the more luxurious Acura, the Integra Type S weighs slightly more than the Civic, but has 5 more horsepower with 320 hp total. It has also seen some Type S specific suspension tuning and a rowdier high-flow exhaust that creates more pops and bangs.
But does it succeed as being a luxury-infused sibling to the Civic Type R? And how does it stack up against its stiff competition? Thomas and James can’t wait to put it through the paces on the Throttle House Test Track and drag strip! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!
Huge thank you to @Unity.Performance for letting us feature their FL5!

James, Thomas & the crew, it was great getting to spend the day with you guys again with our shop FL5! From where I was standing behind the start line the launches were perfect on both cars; ITS definitely showed its low and mid-range torque advantage in the drag race, so a very fair win to it 👏🏼 It's true the +R mode in the FL5 is dialed up too stiff for use on anything but the smoothest of surfaces. We daily drive our FL5 on a different 18x9.5 +45 275/35R18 setup and even tried 265/40R18 on 18x9.5 +38 setup, both are better for real world use. Now it's time to mod this like our shop FK8 build, and get it up in the 4xx whp range so no stock ITS can bully it around 😂 Edit: Savagegeese shared in their video that the ITS Dyno'd with 15 more WHP (same fuel, same day, same dyno). It should come as no surprise the DE5 will win a drag race.

@optronix 10 месяцев назад

Ah I KNEW there was an aftermarket exhaust on that Civic! It sounded too good to be true! I saw somewhere else that exhaust on the CTR can actually HINDER performance, so I'm wondering if it helped or hurt here. But... NOT STOCK! Come on TH, should have mentioned that. edit- I just noticed the tiny little reference at the bottom right. I missed that one... I can't imagine it would make that much of a difference but maybe in larger print next time or an audible reference. If drag races are being used as a metric for cars like these, let's at least have all the facts.

@unityperformance 10 месяцев назад

You guys are also forgetting extra drag associated with the FL5 The rear wing , combined with the rear diffuser and redesigned bonnet and front fascia all work together to produce 92kg of downforce at 200km/h It is also why the previous gen (FK8) is faster in a straight line as the new FL5 is a more track focused car.

Your comments on price hit the nail on the head. Back in the mid 90’s, the Integra GS-R undercut the entry level Bimmers and Mercedes to the point where they made sense. You got an option loaded and performance value. Today, not so much. From what everyone has been saying, you get a great car, it’s just difficult to really justify buying when compared to the offerings from Audi and BMW. Shit, I would consider a VW Golf R and save a couple bucks in this price point range.

find a dealer without markups. when I was looking to buy a FK8 Type R 2 years ago I found lots of dealers wanting ADM but ended up finding a dealer who would sell at retail plus $1000 in dealer add-ons. I also was looking for a new Cayman GTS 4.0 last year and a dealer offered me one at MSRP but I ultimately purchased a 981 GT4 instead of waiting a year for the allocation to come in once ordered.

It’s MSRP is about $4500 over the average median price for a new car in 2023. And that gets you a sub 3300lbs 4 door with a manual that can pull 1.02 G’s on the skid pad that has good resale value and legendary reliability and it’s not too slow either…the only other car that fits that criteria is the Type R. The Elantra N is about 90-95% as capable as the Honda twins for about $14-15K less… depending on options and add ons of course. Yep a loaf of bread isn’t 10 cent’s anymore!!!

Honestly, for me the biggest value proposition for the Integra is that Honda/Acura are in a different league of reliability and maintenance cost than its performance competitors in the Germans and Hyundai/Subaru. In addition, if you like to work on cars yourself, the design of the engine, the layout of the car, and even the amount of space you have in the engine bay is so inviting. When these cars are 10 years old, out of warranty, parts getting replaced anyway, they are going to be tuner dreams.

The $15k price jump from the Si to the R is crazy enough, but then Acura felt like they had to price above that for the Integra and it ended up in M240i/S4 territory which is just way out of its league. And if you start looking at used cars it gets even worse for the Type S. It may be fantastic, but I don't see myself ever owning one.

@lukemothug I'm sure they know but won't take the extra step. I see videos of people saying " Let's turn of traction control" and hit the traction button which just limits how aggressive traction is but it's still very aggressive. I have the integra and by doing the "pedal dance" it shaves off around .5 secs from the 0-60

@mattjubie 4 месяца назад

@@AnotherRichEXP after you turn it off, do you have to do the pedal dance everytime you start the car, or does setting remain. ANd if it remains, is there another dance to turn it back on? Planning on purchasing this car in a few months.

I’ve seen three in Canada so far. Leggat Acura in Burlington brought a black one to the Rebels Classic Car show a few weeks back. Saw 2(Silver & White) ones at the Honda IndyCar Race this past weekend at Exhibition place in downtown Toronto. They looked sharp AF but the Type R just looked more business for me and was the official Pace Car for the Honda IndyCar race - I mean how much better can it get, getting a stock Race car used to guide races right off the dealer lot!

Make the Type R $35K - $37KK again and this $40K - $42K and it starts to make a lot more sense. When I got my FK8 for 35K, I felt like I was driving a deal. But an ITS at $50K (assuming no mark-up), starts feeling like a tough pill to swallow instead.

@KGB908 10 месяцев назад

I daily an S5 sportback and my biggest complaint is that it is too much car for the road. If you really want to wring it out for more than 5 seconds you end up in lose your license territory. But the looks, the sound, the awesome interior, the noticeable differences between comfort and dynamic modes, plus the overall “specialness” are what keep me driving it. Even if I have to be mindful of how heavy my right foot is.

@shizabox 10 месяцев назад

This is something I used to see alot online too much power isn’t a good thing for the road. I never really understood it, I purchased a tuned MK7 GTI and now even at nearly just the 400hp mark I COMPLETELY get it haha. I count to 3 at WOT and Im doing 90+.

@KGB908 10 месяцев назад

@@shizabox yup. I learned less is more when it comes to power on my NA Miata journey. I started off bone stock, and ended up widebody, built motor, turbo, whole 9 yards, pushing out ~240 WHP. By the end of my mod journey it was an absolute weapon. Made the S5 feel like a base Civic. But that wasn’t even close to the best version of the car. That car was most fun with just lightweight wheels (Kosei K1) and the cheapest all season tires money could buy, no other mods. More skids at slow speeds = more fun. Fun and horsepower are not at all correlated.

Do I spend a bit more and get R/Type R/GR corolla if I get lucky? Hard to decide if I really need all that speed/sportiness. I've never had anything sporty before.

Speaking of the better grip with softer suspension, Keiichi Tsuchiya and a colleague took the FL5 around Tsukuba and ended up getting their fastest laps in Comfort mode. Wish you guys could go back and try more laps in different drive modes on your track.

@adim00lah 10 месяцев назад

I watched this same video of dk doing this lap in the fl5 arount tsukuba in comfort mode, and pulling faster times. The r mode setting is just stupid. It's so stiff the car becomes bouncy and it actually makes the car less functional. I bet in individual mode with the engine in plus r and the dampers on comfort it would have beat the its. They are both great cars though.

@LJ-wo1wf 10 месяцев назад

@@adim00lah Oh, yeah, it looked way too stiff, especially for that track and those tires. I guess the good thing is, it's available to use when you have a smoother track and sticky tires (probably good with R-comps) just by pushing a button without having to swap out suspension components. I'm pretty sure I'd use +R for Solo II autocrossing, too.

@bim1376 10 месяцев назад

Agreed. On a glass smooth track, the FL5 would shine. It’s more dialed in. However in the real world, the DE5 is just faster all around and it better be for the price difference. There’s no way heated seats and a few extra speakers make it cost 7 grand more, especially with those tacked on rear fenders which can be removed if you pull hard enough

Canadian price makes sense, in the US it's the same as the M240ix (which is insane). Personally, I'll forego the 6MT (although I love mine in my RSX-S) for 100hp, AWD, a moonroof, and oddly enough much better mpg. At $52K USD Acura got too greedy. Fan bois will buy it though as it's super low volume for a reason.

My favorite part about these cars is that you can alot of the parts from its cheaper sibling, when things go wrong.
