1993 ACURA INTEGRA lliT..RODUCED
FOR RELEASE: Monday, September 14, 1992
TORRANCE, CA--The Acura Division of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.,
announces the introduction of the 1993 model year 3-door and 4-door Integra sports
sedans. The line is enhanced by the 3-door, leather-trimmed Integra LS Special and
the potent Integra GS-R. The GS-R features a performance-oriented, 1.7-liter,
160-hp engine equipped with the Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control
(VTEC) system pioneered in the NSX.
The standard 1993 Acura Integra engine boasts an all-aluminum,' dual overhead
camshaft, 4-valve-per-cylinder design. It produces 140 hp at 6300 rpm and 1261bsft of torque at 5000 rpm from its 1.8-liter displacement. Fuel delivery is by way of a
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system. An advanced, electronic engine
control computer monitors seven vital engine functions and meters the precise
amount of fuel needed for the given operating conditions. The computer constantly
adjusts the air/fuel ratio in response to changing ambient conditions such as
temperature or elevation.

The Integra is available with a standard 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed
automatic transmission.
The 5-speed incorporates a number of features that
enhance shift quality and shift feel. The GS-R features a close ratio 5-speed manual
transmission for enhanced performance.
The optional, dual-mode, 4-speed automatic transmission features an advanced
design that allows the driver to select the Sport Mode for more responsive
performance, or the normal Drive Mode for greater efficiency.
The fully independent, double-wishbone suspension offers a balanced blend of
comfort and performance.
The front suspension is an upper and lower control arm
design with coil springs. An anti-dive geometry enhances stability under braking.
The rear suspension is also an upper and lower control arm design with coil springs,
and features a trailing arm for positive fore/aft location. The rear geometry is
designed to help keep the tire perpendicular to the road under dynamic conditions
to help improve cornering power.
Steering is by means of a speed-sensitive, variable power-assisted, rack-and-pinion
steering system. Sensors monitor road speed and automatically modulate the
amount of power assist.
