I'm very famaliar with GReddy Turbo's, but have zero experience with Drag, so I wantd to gather up some info.
Any block Shaving needed to bolt it onto an Integra Type R? AC can be retained correct? I'm not a fan of Inline pumps, whats the most economical, and reliable bolt in Fuel pump to get? I'm boost savvy, and have installed tons of Greddy Turbo's so these are just the basics I need to know before ordering.
Thanks a lot.

Also, what in your opinions is a very safe amount of boost to run daily, and what does the stock wastegate put out on a Type R usually?

 

no block shaving, AC fits fine. you'll need an inline pump if you're going to be using the supplied FMU. There's a reason drag puts that in the kits.

 

Cool,
Thanks.

i had to shave my block for the Drag kit.....but i have a b16 civic. it might differ for you

 

shaving of the block is required.

 

Ok,
So we have two votes to one regarding the block needing to be shaved. Any further info. anyone? I'll definately pass on the Drag Kit if shaving IS required for sure.
Thanks.

Most real turbo kits require shaving of the block. It takes like 10 minutes. The alternative is a miniature turbo that has no top end.

MY BLOCKED NEEDED A SHAVING
AND A SLIMMER FAN (caps lock ooops) to keep the two fan system. you can also cut your one stock fan. If you mess up i got one for you to try again w/.

 

"shaving of the block is required."

That sucks ***... sounds like the manifold needs a redesign... The block webbing is there for a reason... you'd think a manufacturer would leave room for the block on a "kit" that already requires the fan to be hacked up, or better yet replaced...

...of course, I'm also getting conflicting answers on that subject...

Do you suggest a motor relocation then? You seem to want room both in front of the turbo and behind it... the turbo has to go somewhere.

OK, I hate when people reply with WRONG information!

My Type R DID NOT REQUIRE THE BLOCK TO BE SHAVED AT ALL! It fit perfect.

However I also had an LS Turbo and that did require me to shave my block.

PLEASE dont answer questions unless you are positive you are correct.

 

Ok,
Thanks again for all the info Guys. I have honestly gotten so many different answers so far, nearly 50/50 as far as block shaving. If indeed everything bolts up just fine, then I may get the kit because I can get a really good deal on it and I like the simplicity of the kit.
So TurboIntegra thanks for the info. Can I get your opinion etc on the kit itself, performance, drivibility and so on...

Also, do most of you Drag Guys upgrade teh fuel pump right away? I heard it was junk, true or false? Whats a good intank high flow pump to go with?

There is nothing wrong with the DRAG supplied airtex fuel pump.

I love my kit. No problems with it so far. I have stand alone though
