Hey all Im a new guy on the forums here. I am currently a BMW owner/enthusiast who is now switching over to honda/acura and I am looking into this acura integra GSR with JDM b16 Motor from H-Motors (30k)
JDM b16 Cable tranny with LSD
td05 turbokit (440cc injec, frontmount, hks ssq bov..)
crome p28 at 9PSI (tuned by intec)
So far the car looks nice, and i know that is a small turbo but for a base would that be a good start? How much HP could you turbo buffs guestimate what that might make? and is it reliable to a daily driver? Thanks guys!

 

anyone.. help please

 

What's the conidition of the motor in the GSR as of now?
No reason really to go with a jdm b16, unless you plan on building either the b18c1 or the b16 in the meantime.

How much power are you looking to make? Will this car be your daily driver?

A lot of factors play into it. The turbo may be a bit small for the future, but that is 100% dependent on your goals.

for doing it right.

 

I would say somewhere around 225 whp. As long as the tuning is good it should be very reliable.

hmm only 225 eh, well I guess that aint bad to start out with probably quicker than a stock GSR? Could I upgrade to say a T3 or so just using the turbo?

 

Definitely a lot quicker than a stock gsr. The td05 is the turbo in the sohc greddy kit and the flange is different than a t3 so youd have to change the manifold as well. You may be better off just doing some research and putting together your own t3/t4 kit. Youll have a lot more room to grow.

 

I am not 100% sure on this but the some of the parts for the turbo system consist of SS autochrome Would that be ok in the meantime before i start swapping out parts for my upgrading process?

 

ss autochrome has made a really bad name for itself. theres tons of stories of manifolds cracking, wastegates falling off, etc. do a search for ss autochrome and see what you find lol. I def would not recommend going with anything ss auto.
