Derrick_D’s 524 WHP Boosted 1995 Acura Integra GSR

This Integra has been a work in progress for Derrick_D since he was in high school.  Although this car began life as a daily driver, it wasn't long until Derrick's thirst for power began.  Once graduating from high school, a JDM GSR engine and transmission were swapped into the car.  This allowed him the same reliability as before but with a fresh engine and transmission to build upon. 

He quickly started to source a turbo kit and the various interior and exterior mods that you see below.  For the last 7 years his car has gone through countless iterations and the build is finally nearing completion.  Even though there are still areas on the car in which Derrick is tweaking, he is very satisfied racing and driving it whenever he can.  At this point, the car makes 524 whp and 330 lb-ft of torque on race gas.

Thankfully, he no longer has to drive the car daily and it can reside safely in his garage at home.  His future plans are to get some black Volk CE28N wheels in an aggressive offset, repaint and shave the engine bay, and make more power (of course).  Derrick would like to give special thanks to Guillaume at Twenty Twenty Motorsports for building him such a badass car.
