don't waste your time with that safc bullshit.

get the drag turbo group buy

upgrade your clutch, and your fuel pump

then get a standalone fuel management system with the rest of the moeny
hondata would be a good choice if theres a tuner in your area.

Do you think that i would be able to get the 12's with this kit.....i heard there is also some minor fabrication involved with this kit to fit in a integra gsr....also i heard that the wastegate will dent my hood.....how can i avoid this from happening??

would you waste money on

safc
fmu
missing link
fpr

or would you rather just spend that money and get a hondata and have full control of all your ignition and fueling points?

safc is not junk, but i'd much rather take a hondata if i had the 5g's ..


and not knocking on your times at all
but anyone can put a turbo b18c in a hatch and run 12's on street tires...its really NOT that hard to make a car go fast. it all depends on your style and flavor. if i could redo my car i'd do what you did...hatch with b18c1 turbo..easy and cheap..but i dunno, something about the dc2's i love

probably because the hondata system, from what i've personally seen with my own eyes, isn't full proof, is still in its infancy, and isn't that cheap. well over 1000 for what you really would need and my set up is alot cheaper, works well if done correctly, and just as reliable.

not everyone runs low 11's with a full interior car and no, not everyone can run mid 12's in a front wheel drive without spending the $$ and time and effort to do it. my car isn't even tuned for the street. if it was, my times would be even better.

not flaming you, its just that hondata is not everyones wet dream.....yet

i agree with most of what you say. i'm just saying i'd rather depend on a hondata after talking to some tuners and asking their opinions. i'd rather get a speed pro myself but i don't have a lot of money. its not that expensive to get into 12's if you think about it

hatch : 2000-2100 lbs
b18c1 with intake/headers/exhaust ...
a nice 75 shot of nos( not the zex bullshit ..talking like a wet kit 75 to the wheels)

i believe that's more than enough to dip into the 12's.

then again, expensive to one person can mean something to another

okay thanks alot guys for the priceless information and i am getting in on the group buy. But I was asking about a regular integra GS-R becuase I do have a 99 hatch with b18C1 in my car but am not doing the turbo for a while. Its my older brother who is trying to get ahead of me and beat me now that i swapped out to his engine. So what kind of Cams should i get.
But thanks guys.

Yeah where?? Also comparin a hatchback with the same gsr motor is totally unfair vs a 3rd gen gsr coupe With 5g I would get into Ben GB and then buy the necessary things and build up the block for more boost like lower compression, rods, etc.

Save up about $8,000 more or just sell your current car for the doe, then buy my car. Everything is already done.
