Default Engine Swap or Forced Induction?

Hi,

I'm thinking about getting a 2nd Generation Integra and was curious about what I would have to do to get it to run low 14's to high 13's in the 1/4 mile. Would an engine swap be necessary (Would not like to do any engine swap.) or would I be able to do it with a turbocharger/supercharger?

Thanks.

boost is better...

depends on what you want and how much you got to spend, you can achieve your goals in many ways...

What would be cheaper? I would probably be willing to spend around $3K to get it done.

A good turbo setup can be had for about 1500$ with some shopping.

If I turbo it, will I hit high 13's in the 1/4 mile? Also, sorry for the noob question but what do you mean when you say to boost it?

Thanks.

boost is turbo or supercharging, but usually refers to turbo... yea you can hit high 13's in the 1320(1/4mi) with np if you have a turbo'd car

man if you dont even know what boost means i say you get bolt on's (intake, header, exhaust). and overall mess around with your car and fix things with your hand so you get more knowledge... turbo is not for amateurs

that intake and exhaust you buy will most likely not be compatible with a future engine or turbo setup, i would just save your money, or get suspension
