Default which one is better for me ?

I am a noob at this so I am looking for some answers taht can maybe help me.

This is my situation. I am a daily driver ( 30+ miles a day and plsu more on the weekend). I got a 97 integra ls with about 96,000 mileso n it. I had it ever since 71,k and I have taken care of it.


What do I need to do to run a turbo app with little or no problems, liek maintanence, etc. Ik nwo I need to get great tuning.

I wnat to run stock engine plus ( turbo cams, tuning, low compression pistons,5 angle valve job, darton sleeves ). Is there anything that I need to do to keep the engine maintained to take boost.

My goal is relatively small cause there isnt much space where I live to race( nyc). The cops are everywhere all the time.

I am looking to run like 5- 10lbs of boost. What do people think of that.


what my main goal of this thread is what in your opnion is good for my car ? I dont want this **** breaking down, cause it is driven everyday to school and work.

I also wnat to know what are the full list of parts I owuld need to make this happen. Thanks for all the hlp , I am going to receive.

I am currently running the same set up (JE pistons, Crower Pro-Billet rods, and a block guard, my head is getting done this winter), and I am running a Drag Gen 3 kit. Ths kit has been great and i have have no reliability or drivability problems. I am going to get rid of it for a bigger and more race oriented set-up. But i would recomend the drag kit to anyone. , two thumbs way up!!

You want to run 5-10 pounds of boost, so why the hell are you going to spend thousands for a totally built motor with sleeves? A bolt on turbo kit and good tuning and 10 pounds and 250 WHP is totally attainable.

Good call! The factory GS-R engine will hold 7-10psi, and will be very reliable and very street worthy.
