I have a 92 VX hatch with a 99 B18C1 swap. I've had the swap for a little over a year now and the power trip is losing it's fun. I would like to upgrade with a turbo setup, possibly a Drag III kit but I don't know where to begin. I considered going with a JRSC, but I like the idea of upgrading more and more, something you can't really do with that.
I don't have access to a dyno in my area and that's one reason I've hesitated from buying a turbo. I know that the GSR motor has a higher compression than her LS motor but I don't want to tear down my motor and build it up with low comp. pistons and that sort of thing. I would like to go with a kit or piece together one that will get me another 75-100 hp.
What would be the best reliable setup I could go with? I would like to run the average 6-8 psi with the ability to crank it up a little at the track. I'm new to this sort of thing so I would like to get a good idea of what to get so that I don't end up wasting $ in the long run or end up ruining my motor. I did the swap in my car and I'm currently working on a 96 LS swap in my girlfriend's 91 CRX, so the turbo will be installed by me.

if you want to stay reliable i'd go with the JRSC. It's a fairly easy bolt on. I've had quite a few problems and bugs to work out with my turbo kit. The JRSC just has less components that you would have to worry about. But if you want to keep upgrading, i think you'll eventually want to rebuild your motor to run more boost without blowing your motor. (don't get me wrong though, i love my turbo )

Before you buy any hardware go and buy "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell.

You can check with your nearest Barnes and Nobles to see if they have a copy on stock before ordering online, that's if you're impatient like I was.
