TURBO NOOBIE HELP :):)
k so i bought my first integra its 1995 RS stock
i want to put a turbo kit but im stuck as to which turbo i should pick.
its going to be daily driven so i dont want it to build boost unless i floor it/ i want to be able to drive with out boosting it much
im... for now if its possible only looking for 8-10 pounds of boost on stock engine.
later on i will add sleeve /forged low compression pistons /rods/cams/springs etc.
so any suggestions would be great if you know of a good turbo kit or something or how to pick the appriate turbo
Thanks alot in advance

Well most would say that the T04e is a good turbo to start with, im currently in the process of getting mine turboed. (97 GSR B18c1, T04e turbo, 450cc Bluetop DSM Injectors, 3" Downpipe, 6psi Wastegate, Super SQV BOV, AN oil lines, autometer boost/a/f gages, Chipped P06 to run GSR, FMIC and I have about 6-9Psi in my future). I don't actually know when it will spool (depends on journal or BB, BB will spool faster) but im assuming you don't rev. past about 3.5k when your normally driving but (I don't) you will most likely build some boost but not reach full boost until about 4-5kish...But I dont have first hand exp. cause I haven't got my kit installed yet (Hopefully within the next few weeks :D) But I have read in numerous places that a T04e (or Equivalent) is a good turbo to bolt to the head of a B-Series Engine . GL on finding info..

You should be able to. Im going to run up to 9psi on my GSR with 10:1 Comp. You just need to find a good tuner give him your keys, pay dat sucker and go play :D I just hope to get everything installed within the next two weeks or so, Im waiting on my injector clips (ill install them and if everything as far as fuel supply goes well then Ill add the turbo, just want to make sure that I get my fuel delivery strait first before I install the turbo...just a bit of info so you know some of the things you go through to turbo a honda....rant

Yeah the Super SQV is the way to go IMO (I got that HKS :D) Tial 38mm is great too, manifold looks good (great WG placement too)
Im using a Honda P06 ECU (Civic ECU) Chipped, converted to run vtec and IAB's, No knock support though sigh, also I have crome (soon to be pro, but there are many to tune OBDI ecus such as uberdata(have that too)eCtune, Hondata, etc) Moates hondalog (important for datalogging) Moates Burn2 (chip burner)
A wideband would be important if you wanted to take the tuning in your own hands
You should have an OBDI ecu (look at the p/s kick to see your ecu), get it chipped (if you have soldering knowledge and feel as if you are capable of doing so then go for it, if not take it somewhere or send it off to be chipped)
There is really no need to buy a af hack (apexi neo, etc) It is so easy to use the factory ecu, and there really isn't any reason to trick the ecu when you can tell it strait up what is going on :D also with the factory map sensor it can only read up to about 11psi so if you do decide to go more upgrading this is a must (ill be using the stock map for 9ish PSI)

Spend $50-$100 for a 2.5bar or 4bar MAP sensor, use a 50trim t3/t04e or a 60trim T3 with .63ar housing, and shoot for ~15psi. Either will get you into the 300's with that much boost - with a decent exaust. 250-300whp is all I'd do in a stock B18B, especially if its not dyno tuned by a very experienced tuner.
The best thing to do is to get a slightly used turbo for your first turbo attempt. WAY too many people get the 'big' turbo for their future goals (2+ years away), then destroy that expensive turbo before they get there - or change their goals. If you get a used turbo that's still good, you can always sell it for exactly what you paid for it.
You will definately appreciate the faster spool time on a smaller turbo. Spooling at 5500 and shifting at 7500 with that motor will not be fun, but having power from 3500 to 7200 WILL be fun.
