Re: Hello everyone
Turbo, best bang for the buck.
Best advice: Take your time and do it right the first time, dont cut corners, and spend money on quality parts/tuning. I speak from experience LOL.
What motor does the integra have? And any mods already done to the car?

Re: Hello everyone
turbo best bang? not correct. Nos is cheaper by far.
but u deff would want to go turbo only because if your doing both street & track u will end up spending alot of $$ on filling the bottle's up. figure it must cost around 35$ to fill up each time.
but a Nos setup will deff be way cheaper than turbo. by a few grand depending on how good parts u want to buy & how serious u are.
need to build the motor to handle the power adder & get a clutch, limited slip diff bigger exhaust drag radial tires. 255 fuel pump,
theirs your first few grand$$$

Re: Hello everyone
And eventually that bottle filling would surpass a turbo setup, so turbo would still come out on top lol
Best advice, just read up, read some more...then read more. You can save a lot of money watching all of us screw up rather than doing it yourself lol
Find a good reputable shop/tuner as well, someone on here with a good reputaion will gladly help you build a setup to suit your needs.
Another piece of advice, put a 10-pt in the car from the start, 11.0 will get real slow real fast and he will want to push for 9's next
