The Acura Integra, a beloved sports compact car, has been known for its impressive performance and driving dynamics. At the heart of the Integra's appeal are the various engine options that have been offered over the years. Let's take a closer look at the engines that have powered this iconic vehicle.

The original Acura Integra was powered by a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine. This engine, designated the B16A, produced 115 horsepower and 100 lb-ft of torque. It was available with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.


2nd Generation Integra (1990-1993)


For the second generation of the Integra, Acura introduced a more powerful 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine. This engine, known as the B18A1, generated 140 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options remained the same, with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.

The base model was powered by a 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine, the B18B1, producing 142 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The high-performance Integra Type R, however, was equipped with a more potent 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine, the B18C5, generating 195 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque.
