Note to theives: Make sure you strip all of the above parts.
You forgot one thing...
1) ITR > All
2) GSR !> All

I have to disagree with the point in bold I had a JDM Si-VTEC (JDM GSR) prior to buying my 96Spec ITR and due to the VTEC x-over being set at 4400rpm on the GSR (Si) It was virtually impossible for it to drop out of VTEC between gear changes....I have read where some US GSR owners said that it would drop out of the secondaries being open (5800rpm) at times between gear shifts (even though i never experienced that) but it never dropped out of VTEC unless you were a complete ham fisted fool and couldnt shift for ****.
I'd even go as far as saying it is easier to drop out of vtec in a typeR between shifts than it is in a GSR/Si

The JDM GSR is more or less the same car as the USDM GSR in that it has a B18C dual intake manifold motor. Both have vtec x-over at 4400rpm and both have secondary intake runners opening at 5800rpm. The GSR make 170bhp and the Si makes 178bhp due to JDM 100ron fuel and 10.6 compression, but in real money and with regular 95 octane fuel both cars are identical as they have identical gear ratios, so your retort is also in vain!
If you were to post that GSR's fall out of vtec in the Integra forum, you'll get the same reply....and i stand by what i said, it would be easier for an ITR to fall out of VTEC than a GSR.

I have owned both a JDM Si and JDM ITR (and most will tell you that in real terms theres very very little difference performance between USDM and JDM) and i can say for a fact that if you cant shift gear at 8200rpm and manage to keep it above 4400rpm till you engage the next gear then your better of with an auto tranny. I'm not trying to argue either, i'm just giving you my findings from having owned both cars..

Re: Type R Vs. GSR Comparison (Haleiwa-Brando)
NOTE TO ALL NEWBIES:
When asking about Integra BRAKES
ITR has a certain type of Brakes (5 lug, 11.1 front, 10.2 rear)
GSR has a different kind, the SAME EXACT kind (rotors, pads, front and rear calipers) as ALL 94-01 Integras except the R. There all 10.3" and 9.4", front and rear respectivaly. Please ignore all "GSR hubs for sale" as LS hubs or GS hubs for brakes are the same. Just a note to all that GSR calipers, rotors, and pads are interchangable with hubs of any non Type-r 3rd generation integra, only side note being that the RS did not have ABS. So for HUBS, RS and GSR arent identical, but the GSR does not have beefed up calipers or pads, contrary to any believes. Hope this helps some.

Re: (mugenracer)
GSR does NOT fall out of VTEC, only the secondaries on the IM. Brando, I think you're misquoting Honda or something
Also, the GSR intake is IN the fenderwell, just has a different angle than the ITR.

I like you listed the differences, Haleiwa-Brando. It is a convienient quick reference.

The GSR air intake resonator is located in the RF fender well. However, the piping actually pulls air from behind the ABS unit under the hood. The ITR has a trumpet inlet in the fender well.
The ITR does not have forged pistons. They are slightly heavier than the GSR pistons, but have a higher compression ratio, as was indicated. Lightning Motorsports has a listing of the piston weights.
http://www.lightningmotorsports.com/techpiston.htm
The valve sizes for the ITR and GSR are identical. The exhaust valves are the exact same P/N. As was mentioned, the intake valves are lighter due to a narrower neck.
The GSR hase dual valve springs only on the intake side. The GSR intake valve springs are the same as the ITR exhause valve springs. The ITR dual intake vlave springs have an elliptical crosssection to allow for higher lift without binding.

The attachment point of the connecting rods to the crankshaft uses a new, adjustable connector that allows the mechanics to manually adjust the connection using a micrometer so they can compensate for the stretching of the connecting rod bolt.
In order to increase compression ratio, the side molds of the pistons were increased. (Pent-Roof-type Piston) The inside was shaved to balance out the total weight, and the aluminum pistons were forged in order to retain precision.

This is a good write-up. However, the ITR pistons look like they were cast and machined to achieve balance. They are certainly not forged, as they have sand casting marks. Forged pistons often confuse the knock sensors on engines. Was this your data source? http://www.superhonda.com/tech....html
Forged pistons (Toda)
ITR Pistons: Notice the sand casting marks on the face.
The acuraparts247.com site lists the GSR pistons as $64.47 and the ITR pistons as $44.85. This also goes against forging for the ITR pistons.
Regarding the adjustable crank connections, I see no such devices in the parts diagrams.

Re: Re: (Dogginator)
gsr's will not fall out of vtec if you shift at redline, even if you shift at 7000, you will still land above 4400 which IS the crossover for ALL Integra GSR's.
I think your mistaking vtec for intake butterflies.

it seems petty to mention but since you made it so clear you were only talking about US models i thought id make sure you didnt make a mistake
and i dont think itr were ever given that stereo option from the dealer here.
