Default Would it be wise to supercharge an ITR?

I know with a turbo setup you have problems with VTEC and turbo together.. Would it be alright to do a Vortech or JRSC on an Integra TypeR? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated... thanks!

there is no problem with vtec and turbo...stupid myths. vortech, well...only makes power at the peak, and has drag of an SC...JRSC...good torque off the line...decent power...i'd choose between turbo and jrsc, skip the vortech.,

iv'e got a friend with an ITR swap in his EG (well EH, but whatever) and he HAD a turbo B16..... now he is one of those "i wanna be all motor" chumps, but i keep trying to tell him that if he doesn't want to go turbo again, the he need to invest in a JRSC with all the extras

How much power gain would I be lookin at with a JRSC? I don't really wanna do turbo (or maybe I do )

What exactly do you have to do to turbo a B18C5?

If you go turbo, you'll just defeat the purpose of owning an ITR. You'll have to eventually replace almost everything.

not really if u just stay around 5-8 psi.
all motor is too expensive to make the same WHP that turbo gives
