I am ready to boost my '92 integra. After this year with the heavy N/A setup that i opted to go with i am ready to turbo my car for next year. Now im new to turbo's and don't know much and Need some feedback.

I have 2 options:

Option 1: Boost current ls/vtec setup with eagle rods, skunk2 springs retainers, Z10 crank girdle. Now with that i would add 9:1 compression pistons, NEW b16 head (because the current head on my setup is ported and polished for an agressive N/A setup) with new port polish job, and 3 angle valve job.

or

Option 2: Boost LS block and swap over eagle rods, skunk2 springs/retainers, Z10 crank girdle and add all additonal parts needed for turbo setup.

At this point with option 2, i could sleeve the block and go nuts but i have a budget of say $6000 (cdn. that is)

Now i have all my parts to sell aswell skunk 2 stage 2 cams, exhaust, cold air intake and header. So what do you guys think help me out!

thanks

anyone?

 

You will not need to sleeve the block for 300HP.

Just get a nice big T3/T4, and some nice engine management, and you will be hitting 300 all day long.

 

agree to some, but i'm using a fmu setup and at 10psi, i'm making 326 to the wheels. But the ls block, sleeved to 84.5mm will do the trick. A nice sized t3/t4 or t4 will make more than enough power.

 

I plan to go with a Turbonetics T3/T04e and some bigger injectors (550cc) to hit my goal!

Still my debate is wether i should go option 1 or 2?

HELP!

thanks

OH.....I didn't see you already have the Vtec head....

option 1.

Keep the B16 head. there would be no downside to using it.

The only disadvatage to the vtec head is that it is ported and polished for an aggresive n/a setup, so it was recommended that i get a new b16 head so that we can redo the ehad work for boost.

The only disadvatage is that i spend the extra money.

Again im happy makeing 300whp for now

thanks
