First time trying to turbo (B18a1)
Hey! So I have a '90 Acura Integra with a b18a1 engine. I just pulled a bad clutch and I figured I would install a stage 3 clutch while I have it out. I'm also thinking of going turbo in the future, slowly but surely because the budget isn't real high. But my questions are what supporting mods can I do before I even think of putting the turbo on there? As in,
Can I upgrade my fuel pump and/or fuel injectors (450cc?) without a problem?
Should I use the stock fuel rail?
Should I do a tune before and after? Or just after?
Would it be a bad idea to put an inter-cooler system in there before the turbo and have it just hanging out?
What other mods should I get before the turbo to make the install smoother?
I don't think a 3" exhaust will be a problem.
I would just like some tips on how to make this go smoothly. I'm not looking for the most hp I can get, I'm thinking like 250-300 at 10lbs of boost?
What are some good brand names that aren't necessarily the most expensive but the moderate brands, not the cheap *** stuff, but the parts that will run good but won't make me broke as a mf.

Re: First time trying to turbo (B18a1)
You could install;
*3 inch exhaust
*bigger fuel pump
*better clutch etc...
No point in doing anything else till you ready to bolt the turbo kit on. Read the FAQ's
