alright.im new to this forum and im not a big fan of forced induction..but im thinkin of just dropping my all motor setup and going boost... i planning on pickin up a kit... but what kinda kit would be perfect for my R? and what kind of strains will it have on my motor? will it kill my reliability? im thinkin of keeping stock internals.. so im pretty sure i should stay at low boost.... never really dealt with turbo.. im still researching more bout it
someone enlighten me here

 

There are so many kits out there. To name a few ...

Full Race
MaxRev
RevHard
Greddy
FMax
Drag
Extreme Boost

It all depends on how much power you want to make, how much you want to spend, etc. I would definitely look into Hondata or AEM's EMS before you buy a turbo kit.

 

yes ive heard good stuff bout hondata... is the s200 the one im suppose to be lookin at? i heard tuning is a b*tch with those...

 

isnt the compression on a type r a little high for boost?

 

I have seen people run a good amount of boost on ITR bottum ends. Neither of them had ANY tuning so they ended up rebuilding. I'm having someone tune my Hondata because I have never tuned with Hondata. The s100 is cheaper but with the s200 you have the option (with extra money) to datalog and tune yourself. The s200 now has autotune capabilities but that's not a replacement for a good tuner.

 

Here we go again....its like one big loop...we just finished talk last week!

 

welcome to HondaTech jk

 

trust me man , the compression and boost go good together. the car feels great out of boost becuase the comprssion and you dont need high boost to make great numbers, ill be posting my number on Sun after the dyno

Im glad we have steered alot of these R people over to the dark side I have seen alot of R turbo posts and more people respecting thme lately. . . its about time

 

Hey Pete, how is new tune going on the r?

you didn't turn me , but my ITR loves boost to give you an idea. 210 whp and 158 lb tq at only 4.5 psi no boost controller..just installed my drag kit and went to the dyno. loving it

 

damn newbie...when are you gonna learn ? LOL

 

i finally find someone whos responsible for my money....
it's u made me spend that much to boost my R
hehe i wont have my car back for few weeks, coz it's at shop installing the " dark side"....................

 

I will give it a test run for you this time

 

Jeff its runnign great. the gas milage still down , but the car is running unbelievable.
thanks.

 

What turbo were you using to achieve 210 whp?? at 4.5 psi with no boost controller

 

I say go for it! Jackson Racing works for me daily driven with over 75k on the odo.

 

Can't blame the R guys really...I mean, at some point in life EVERYBODY want to make the move from ricer to racer...even the ones that drive expensive Hondas

j/k j/k j/k

 

that not that case... its jus that i want to really enjoy a quick car... you think ill be driving a vette z06 sometime in my life? maybe... but i can start now with this...
