Turbo Type-R Rebuild questions
Well, it's time to do a rebuild and I had some questions:
1998 Integra Type-R
Drag Gen III Turbo
Here's my situation. I MIGHT sell the car in less than a year, so I don't want to do anything MAJOR. BUT my piston rings are totally gone and I gotta rip out the engine so I figured I should do something while it's out.
If I sell the car, it'd probably be WITHOUT the turbo on it so I'd want to be able to take the turbo off and just sell it nice and easy. (i.e. I don't want to get JE pistons and crower rods because a non-turbo Type-R with 8.5:1 pistons would suck).
So, I'm thinking of keeping the rods stock and getting Integra GS-R pistons. What do you guys think? What compression ratio would that give me?
If I were to get a thicker headgasket, how much would it cost and how much would that lower my compression?
I'm also thinking of running 8lbs of boost with this setup with RC injectors (what size should I use? 370cc, 440cc etc.?).
I'm not sure which standalone fuel management I should use...any suggestions?
THanks for your help guys,
KJ
