turbo-ed intergra type-r

[EG_Civic]

just wondering if there is even a point of turboing a type-r??
saw one yesterday on country hills... white.. pretty nice car

[adam c]

no.. the high compression will make it a candidate for blowing

Why??...A lil bit of boost on a High CR-ed car is a blast...

There are TONS and have been TONS of ITR's that were boosted in ITR History. Even Allan from STRD had his boosted for a while.

hell no.....man they turbo K20-r with amazing results....

[T78Supra1]

The Engine will not Blow if done right. High compression is not an issue there are people riding around with Turboed R6's and CBR's.


But be prepared to pay allot for little Gain.
Someone told me its almost 1000 bucks for every 5 hp.
(Turbo Kit = 6000.00 = 60hp gain if that)

[garyb]

if you had to pay $1000 per 5hp then you would get 30hp for $6000, you can easily gain 80-100 whp

[adam c]

ok let me rephrase it..

on stock internals.. u have a good chance of doing some damage. as what i have read on team-integra

yeah thats not right. full race turbo kit is like 3-4 grand. And you gain at least 100 whp i know that. (if you do head studs etc)

I would argue that the B18C5 would be lower mileage and built better than a LS motor. It's all in the tune, the high CR would make it still fun to drive off boost with good power being made up top where the ITR shines.

[T78Supra1]

Sorry too early in the morning to do math....
But you know what i am saying.

Turboing a type R is pricey and to be honest its too pricey. People who buy a type R don't buy them for HP but drivability.

If you want a turbo Car save your money and buy a turbo car, 1jz,2jz,s20,etc.....

If this is true then i Stand Corrected.......

The only real experience i have seen was a turbo RSX type S and after all the Tunning, ecu, Intercooler, blow off valve, Knock meter, guages, injectors, fuel rail and cams


He was into his car 12 grand. His final dyno numbers were only 250hp

And they are still trying to tune it properly at 100/hr

[teggypimp95]

Yeah i believe a type r should stay n/a. Pretty much turboing anything that doesent come turbo is going to make the life of the engine alot less.

what the hell does "full race kit" even mean???

Full Race is a brand www.full-race.com

[Foreign1]

N/a or turbo, the engine is a blast!

but you could easily gain 100-130 whp on that engine without shortening the engines life.

300whp out of a type-r is fine on its stock internals..

[ls/vtec-crx]

My Type R was turbo for about 4 months and dynoed at 275whp @ 6psi of boost. And the only reason it lasted for that long was because of a cooper head gasket that was not installed properly(the block or head was supposed to be o-ringed). If i had the knowledge back then that i have now it would be running to this day for sure. But i know quite a few guys that have done it on stock internals and have had no problems, and they were running 7-9psi of boost and making well over 300whp easily.

I wouldn't worry about compression too much now a days. As long as it's done properly your all good. Guys now a days are building their motors with at least 10.1 compression and running huge turbos. And i mean GT35R or bigger. :eek:

Search tony the Tiger on Honda-tech. 12:1CR built motor with a GT28 I think.. Instant boost, Insane curve.

He's the guy with the boosted GSR from TO right??

[tawheed]

stock ITR motor seems pretty damn sweet to me

And they are still trying to tune it properly at 100/hr i feel sorry for anyone playing 12 grand for 50 hp over stock.

[silver_gs-R]

its all in the tune, it doesnt matter what you put into your car, you have to let the car know its there.

TUNING = :eek: :D

sounds like an na car....

[rc2002]

Type-R's can be boosted, but why? The non-vtec B-series are cheap and disposable and ideal for boost. You'd boost these engines if you were smart.

Boosting a type-r motor won't give you much more (if any) useable power than a boosting a non-vtec B-series motor.

but yes, non-vtec motors are cheap.

[zieg]

Wow. Low compression pistons, anyone?

True, but you won't be able to tell the difference between 300whp and 450whp on a FWD car when street/daily driving.

<---- has worked on the white Type R you speak of and a few others i do their audio at my shop. he is only running 4 PSI just to give it a little kick. but he will be turing it up to i think 7 or so. but all these guys have plans to get taller head gaskets and/or smaller pistons to lower compression.

they actually have quite a clean set up and are doing things the right way and not going to blow enginges they seems to be pretty consious of what they are doing

[BoS_DC2]

now, making a N/A ITR is pricey lol.

If I do get an ITR, I wouldn't actually mind getting the turbo w/ the proper tuning and internals. MMmmm... :drool:

[aram1000]

turbo build on a type R is both pricey and time consuming, if you have the resources and the patience to do the job right, then go for it, but as a previous type r owner, i think the charm of the car is keeping it NA, I agree with richardchan2002, if you want to do a turbo integra, get a non vtec one, cheaper and probably will be an easier build, to me the type r is more of an NA car

[Klobi-1-Kinobi]

would'nt a gsr be a better candidate for boost? Still capable of big #'s, but not as rare or expensive as a type r.

but then you lose your bling factor...

[Loud-N-Clear]

I have an LS that I planned to boost, but just bought an ITR. IMO stock the Type-R is a well balanced daily driver, and with bolt ons and some tuning I think that's all you really need for street driving. I always felt like more power would be nice with the LS, but with the ITR, the extra 55 ponies, higher redline, V-tec and better handling makes it a lot more fun to drive, and for now, I'm happy with it.
