wich the best turbo for integra type r?

MikeMAN

whats your budget? what kinda power levels you looking to make? how much research have you actually done on the topic? are you willing to sacrifice some streetability or would you like something to drive like stock? is your engine pretty much stock, what kinda mods do you have? do you have a budget for a fuel management system, block sleeved?

I would think the ITR with stock compression wouldn't lose much streetability. Of course if you dropped the compression it would though.

MikeMAN

my point : not a really specific question

Judah

Hmmm, just came across this post, what turbo would you suggest to get ~300whp from a re-sleeved b18c5 with forged 9:1 pistons and rods? I would like to be able to drive it to work every once in a while(~50miles). Is this reasonable? Is there anything else besides a Hondata I would need to keep it reliable?

dont do it man.... dont do it LOL if i was you bro, i would sell your ITR and get a GSR and then turbo it. b18c1 has lower compression ratio and will take forced induction better. why put an ITR to waste when they are so scarce and they are not meant to be Turbo'ed.(IMO)

PM-Performance

yea dont turbo the itr, they are meant to be na . dont **** u that car. . . . .
oh wait , my itr is boosted, forget all that hype man , youll love it , 10.6:1 on 8psi will crush a gsr boosted on like 12-15 psi.
get good fuel management and tune it good and trust me , youll **** your pants when you feel the boost with the compression

MikeMAN

yea right, all R's are slow hehe

how many times have we seen comments like this? ***SIGH*** having said that, you should put aside a good amount of cash if you want to do it right..

Judah

Already planning on spending some $$$, but what about my question?
Also, are 440s big enough? And is running on stock compression really a good idea? I was planning on going to 9:1......

PM-Performance

id stay stock . . . i am staying stock in mine , i love the compression. I rather have more comperssion and less boost , but thats my opinion on it .

Judah

Did you re-sleeve? What kind of numbers are you putting down?

acuraqc

thanks

440's should do for 300whp

Apex i ITR

I believe itr206 is getting somewhere around 270whp on 7lb's of boost. And he hasn't gotten it tuned yet.

swlabhot

Boooost, booost, boooost!! Go ahead and boost it! Don't listen to wot the N/A guys tell u!

I should have mine in next month Aiming for around 300+whp on totally stock block.

Apex i ITR

I want anything between 260-300 (Truth be told I be happier with 300) but it all depends on tuning so.........

Judah

What's your setup?
I would like ~300 as well but I don't think I want to do that with stock compression....

Apex i ITR

A t3/T4 turbo (ar .43, standard wheel). SFP manifold & DP, Blitz BOV, AVC-R, 450 DSM injectors and a Hondata. Stock motor. I don't think 270 whp will be that hard to achieve.

Sorry man but I absolutely HATE that answer. Any Turbo ITR owner will agree with me too I'm sure. I understand the logic behind it but why not have an ITR with all it's upgraded glory, run low boost on it and make more power?? I put a custom turbo kit together for around $3000 and I'm making 282whp, and 198tq untuned at 7psi on a completely stock ITR motor(dyno'd with open DP)
Anyway to answer the original question, just get a Max Rev kit or even a Drag Kit, good reliable bolt-on power.

I hate that answer too. The question wasn't "Should I turbo my R?" it was "What is the best turbo for ITR?"
What injectors are you running to get 282whp?

01ITR#700

Thanks.
I'm running stock injectors right now. 7psi (usually daily) and I beat the **** outta the car regularly Holding up great right now
Injectors and a VAFC are going in soon as well as some serious dyno tuning.

how can a b18c5 make as much power at 8psi as a b18c1 at "like" 12-15psi?

i dont think it, like, makes that much more power. it will be, like, a little quicker but thats cause of the, like, gearing and it wont make, like, much more torque and it will give you a smaller tuning window (i.e. less margin for error).

i am just, like, giving you a hard time, cause i think i smell bullshit.

Mase

Yep, I smell bullshit too. It's true compression certainly plays a role, but if your statement was true, then why did I toast a jdm b18c5 w/ my b18b (he has 2 compression points more than me!!!!!!!)? He was boosting at 7 psi, and i was only at 7.5 psi. It matters more of your setup, then it does w/ compression ratios...obviously . He ran a greddy kit, and i have a massive t04e.

Greaser

i had a huge discussion about this on a local board in my area. my calculations with airflow vs. pressure ratios and reading compressor maps is a 50trim T04e compressor. you choose the turbine by how much HP you want to make.

for me i'm running an SR with a 50trim on a O trim T4 in a divided .70 housing. should be higher hp than my GT3037 setup i just sold. same goes for a 1.8 liter at 8,000rpm.
