Official: 2024 Integra Type S Gets 320 HP!

[CTR]

Did a little research and apparently the 11th gen Civic mirror caps fit on the Integra. So maybe these carbon mirror caps on the Integra Type S will fit on the Civic Type R?

I’m kinda thinking the ITS exhaust will fit the FL5. I bet we’ll see folks doing it once parts are available to order.

That's what I was thinking of doing, if it sounds like that

I'm not a big Acura guy but can someone explain to me the appeal of this car if it comes out around 50k msrp when compared to the TLX-S which is 54k with more HP and AWD?

Hmm, same appeal as Type R vs TLX-S?

Manual transmission, smaller, lighter, sportier. Although it's physically very long it's relatively light and will feel smaller.

The TLX will never be anything more than a boulevard cruiser. I don’t care how much power they give it.

 

[TypeRD]

Exactly. TLX Type-S is a different car for a different buyer.

lets be honest, its probably the same at the type r, they are probably just under rating the R

I surmise that the ITS’s exhaust is slightly more efficient and that’s where the +5hp is coming from. Folks with the new Milltek exhaust on their CTR’s are likely getting the same or better power gains.

I doubt the Type R is underrated in the traditional sense since the power delta is immaterial. The difference is likely attributed to different hardware components on the Type S (e.g., intake, exhaust, camshafts, etc.). It's also possible the Type S is simply running a slightly different calibration on the ECU.

It’s a 5hp difference. This is not worth being power-insecure about.

If they said the ITS is 340+hp and like 325+ lb/ft torque, I’d be like whuuuuut…. But even then, I wouldn’t care enough to let my FL5 go.

I feel the same way, I own a 21 FK8 which is a 40k car. For me these civics (ITR,FL5)priced north of 50k, make me want to get a TLX type S if and when I get tired of my FK8. I’ve seen several used TLX type S for sale below 50k.

Wish my Type-R had 3 pipes like that!

Swap em out, the exhaust system is the same sans the tips

Im gonna try and defend the Integra here, the TLX-S is $57k, has a smaller interior, it’s less practical and less engaging than the Integra. The TLX-S also isn’t very competitive in its class and the TLX-S isn’t that much faster than the Integra.

I’m sure it’s just an ECU tune. 5hp isn’t enough to warrant developing or using different hardware.

Yes, the real question is why would you pay $57k for a TLX-S when you can get an RS3 for $61k...
