Acura Integra DA (DA5-DA9, DB1-DB2)

The second generation Integra was introduced in 1989 and in this generation, the first VTEC engine ever manufactured by Honda was installed in a JDM Integra DA. The B16A engine is a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated engine with a specific power output of 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp) . VTEC engagement is at 4800 rpm on the B16A engine, redline for the XSi is 8200 rpm.

There were two main variants of the top DOHC VTEC model, the RSi and the XSi. The RSi was the base model without any options, while XSi was the fully optioned variant with climate control and optional sunroof and ABS. The XSi had a 0–100 km time of 7.2 seconds and completed a standing quarter mile in 15.1 seconds. This top ranked DOHC VTEC model was complemented by more docile models that used dual-carburator or PGM-Fi versions of the versatile ZC engine but in the more compact SOHC configuration. Similarly there were base and full options variants of these SOHC engine Integras coded RX/RXi and ZX/ZXi respectively. All vehicles sold in Japan had their width dimensions slightly reduced so as to be in compliance with Japanese government regulations concerning exterior dimensions so that the car would be officially recognized as a “compact” and not incur yearly taxes for being wider.

In 1992 the range received minor cosmetic changes, the B16A engine received minor updates too with a new intake manifold and raised VTEC engagement point, now 5600 rpm increasing peak horsepower to 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) . 1990 saw the introduction of the first 1.8L-engined Integra, the DOHC (non-VTEC) B18A used on the Integra ESi produced 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp) and came with an optional limited slip differential (LSD).

Another addition to the 1990 version was the automatic retractable shoulder belt system, which slide around the door window opening. The shoulder belt system was mandated to be installed in all vehicles sold in the United States due to air bag supplemental restraint legislation. Vehicles sold in Japan and Canada did not have the automatic shoulder belt system installed. Vehicles sold in New Zealand were offered with the Australian Export interior trim level. Also, this generation introduced frameless door window, borrowing styling influences from the larger Honda Vigor, which was sold alongside the Integra at Honda Verno locations, as the Integra was exclusive to Honda Verno. These revisions for the US market had been standard on all Japanese models since 1989.
