What engine does a 2000 Acura Integra have?
The 2000 Acura Integra used a 1.8-liter inline-four engine, with higher-performance variants adding VTEC. In short, most models shared the 1.8L family, while GS-R and Type R trims offered VTEC versions with more power.
Engine options by trim
Below is a quick breakdown of the engines you’d commonly find in the 2000 Integra in the United States, grouped by trim.
- Base/LS: 1.8L B18B1 DOHC non-VTEC, approximately 142 hp
- GS-R: 1.8L B18C1 DOHC VTEC, approximately 170 hp
- Type R: 1.8L B18C5 DOHC VTEC, approximately 195–200 hp
In practice, horsepower varied slightly by model year and market, but the core distinction was between the non‑VTEC base engine and the VTEC-equipped GS‑R and Type R variants.
Market variations and naming notes
United States configuration
In the U.S. market, the 2000 Integra lineup typically included a base/LS model with the 1.8L non-VTEC engine (B18B1), a GS-R with the 1.8L DOHC VTEC (B18C1) delivering about 170 hp, and a high-performance Type R with the 1.8L DOHC VTEC (B18C5) producing roughly 195–200 hp.
