Default Some dumb questions from a newbie to FI...

What do I have to do to my '97 Integra LS to get it ready to take a DRAG Gen 3 turbo? Currently I have an AEM CAI, but nothing else.

I was thinking if getting SC w/ N20, but some guys on the Integra board suggested going turbo.

I would like to get the Teg to 275-280 flywheel hp (double stock )

Not sure about the LS but I remember one guy dyno'ing at about 220 wiht just the drag gen 3 kit. Not sure how much more your gonna have to work to get those numbers... but some suggestions, having gone this route with my gsr...

1. forged pistons and rods
2. sleeved if you can afford it
3. don't need the intake, sell it and get a good exhaust system
4. bunch of guages
5. a good boost controller
6. upgraded fuel pump and injectors and a Hondata system.

this is just for starters... but this should keep you busy working lots of overtime....

Thanks. What's your idea of a 'good exhaust system'? I was thinking of going with the Comptech Muffler (that's all they have for the 4 door), with custom piping from the cat to the muffler. That, of the DC Sports. Any suggestions?

thats not all necessary.. stock internals are fine...hondata is a cool thing to spend money on but its manditory.....get the drag gen 3 kit and go to a place that makes custom exhasut and have him make u a good 3 inch one and a cat....everything else pretty much comes with the kit that is necessary....talk with ben hes having a group buy soon

The Stock LS motor is VERY strong. If you decide to keep the block stock for now, 8-10 PSI with no problems with the stock injectors and running 93 octane with the LS's low compression. But I wouldn't recommend boosting it everyday, the rings wear down faster. And If u boost even more then 13 PSI, you'll be risking cracking the cylinder wall. LS Rods are very strong. Get a MSD BTM for some extra protection.
