Default Just bought a 93 integra GS. Want to get 200WHP super cheap and reliable....

So I got me a 93 integra GS. I wanna get like 200WHP outta this thing. What is the cheapest and most reliable route? I know cheap and reliable shouldnt be in the same sentence, but if its not economical for me I wont doit. I wont be doing the install either, I dont have the time.

From what I've gathered is a little turbo kit would be my best bet. What do you all think?

Yes a turbo "kit" would be the cheapest way to go, but you should search around on this site you can find more info on possible setups than you can handle, and because asking questions like this will get you know where.
And go to http://www.g2ic.com and find the turbo guide. it will save you life.

You said two of the three words in the title to this thread - cheap and reliable...it won't be fast.

FAST, CHEAP, RELIABLE...CHOOSE TWO.

200 WHP ain't that fast, so I guess he's gravy

Drag/Revhard/Blox/Whatever cast manifold, junkyard T3, JRC intercooler, crushed DSM bov, DSM 450CC injectors, walbro 255 pump, hondata/uberdata and a good tune.

Cheapest and most painless way to acheive your goals will be a greddy kit....

That's my reccomendation after reading what you have to say.

small turbo, low boost, dsm injectors, fmu, used parts. thats the easiest way to get to 200whp.

Well if you have a 400whp GTI then I would honestly go nitrous. Off the bottle you will have a reliable as stock car that you can count on, yet have some power when you want it. When you really get the need hop in the GTI...

You guys think occasionally spraying N20 is more reliable than a slightly boosted LS though? I dont know if I'm feeling the N20 thing. I want something with more power when I hop on the freeways and such. And something I can use all the time.

yep, if fuel delivery is perfect, there will be a lot less oil, electronic, and heat issues to worry about if you go nitrous. I loses in practicality when you arent ***** to the wall, but are still spirited driving

With the right timing and the right plug gap a low shot of nitrous is very reliable. My buddy picked up a perfect condition zex kit for 250. He is only running a 55 shot and loves it.

His car is normal with bolt ons and then quick with nitrous. with nitrous you dont have lag, and the stress wont ALWAYS be on the motor. If you are turboed im sure you wont be able to stay out of boost.
