Re: Evaluate My Turbo Kit........Input NEEDED (integra-modder)
yup that's a turbo kit alright, Just a few comments about it though.
But here is a question.
How many psi's are you planning to push?
9:1 comp? - Why so low?
AEM EMS - Your tuner better know how to use and config AEM properly, if not then use what your tuner knows the best.
Missing Link- You wont need it with a Standalone!
37x8.5x 2.25? - 37" for just the core?? Wow!
Magnacore wires- They suck, stick with stock NGK's.

Re: Evaluate My Turbo Kit........Input NEEDED (integra-modder)
A few things:
1. You don't need a missing link.
2. That IC is huge! You sure you want one that big?
3. I don't know what you are planning on pushing boost wise, but you may want to consider 720cc injectors and a GM 3 bar MAP.
4. HKS SSBOV? WHY?
5. I get some cam gears other than Venom. I just don't like Venom.
Otherwise: good start!

yes stock wires that came with the car. Factory uses NGK for spark plug wires. So when buying wires just ask for NGK wires specific to your vehicle.

1.Missing link is left from the original turbo kit contents stuff, forgot to erase it.
2.Whats wrong with having a big IC, its sooooo sweet looking, i mean if there is a big negative to having it, then itll go out the door. but check this out. (same shop will be doing my turbo as this ITR)
3.Yes, Ive been meaning to find out more info about the wide band o2 and how much will 720cc injectors run?
4.whats wrong with it?
5.Whats bad about venom? What should I replace them with (cost)?
This will be a daily drive 95% of the time and will see the track once or twice in a season and the rest is on the road at night. Im thinking I want to run something along the lines of 12-13lbs.
Please, more input.

2. If you want the Big IC get it.
3. Wide Band O2 is gonna be expensive. Get you car dyno tuned, and use their's. Then if you want to add it later, good upgrade.
3b. 720cc injectors can be had for ~$300. RCs are much more.
4. I think the HKS valve sounds terrible, and I would rather have a quieter valve. I like the sound of the apexi and GReddy type R personally. More of a rush of air than a whistle.

5. Get some Skunk Gears. Less than $200.

4. Now that I've heard it, Id rather have it not as loud, is that possible, to eliminate the whistling effect of it? (problem is that the SSQV is staring at me right now on my table...), thats a great site though.
5. Damm... 200, venom gears are 125... got anything thats good and comprably priced?

Re: Evaluate My Turbo Kit........Input NEEDED (integra-modder)
Anyone want to trade a new HKS BOV for a new Greddy Type R? or I can do it with the place I bought mine from for 5 bucks...

Re: Evaluate My Turbo Kit........Input NEEDED (ekb18c)
Just FYI if you end up doing rods and pistons. You probably want to do bearings too and obviously a new headgasket.
