i am going for turbo and am not going to do a gsr swap anymore , so what should i be doing for my upgrade mods, i know CAI is pointless, and should i get a turbo exhaust even thought i dont have a turbo yet to prep for future use?
headers? pistions.. help

 

You dont need headers either when buying turbo. They are replaced with turbo manifold.

 

i gota b18b
really is there any mods i can be doing? i would like to be hitting like 250-300hp i dono what whp that would be prob not close to that with a dragII (not desided on turbo yet not enough info of them all yet)

 

fuel managment ...pressure reg. and fuel pump lots of dyno time

 

Yeah,

FPR (fuel pressure regulator)
Port & Polish
SFC (fuel management system)
Get a 3" exhast if you are pushing 250+hp >> TanabeSuperRacingMedalion or the Apexi N1. I own a TanabrRM, and I think nexttime I'll buy the N1!

 

got the same motor and yes, the drag turbo kit can definitely help you get to that goal.....if your going turbo and trying to make those numbers , you should start off by buying pistons, rods, fuel controller, injectors, and a little bit of spice to the valvetrain , 300+hp on stock sleeves no problem ,just make sure your fuel tuning is right and you got it.......if not , babooommmmmmm........

 

suprised nobody said it......u need a Clutch
ACT clutch all the way

 

If your going turbo most kits already have everything other than, upgraded igniton (MSD) or a Skunk2 IM.

miscellaneous items you should have a boost gauge, oil pressure and Air/Fuel Ratio gauge also a turbo timer. this is little stuff that anyone can afford and can be pre-wired and be very benefical when your turbo is installed.

 

 

hondata2b +dyno tuning once everything is all in.

 

stronger pistons and rods. And please, upgrade your brakes. Before you go fast, make sure you can slow down.

 

Clutch
Forged Pistons/rods
bigger injectors
stonger clutch
MSD ignition
Skunk2 manifold

 

What about traction? You gotta have traction to put the power down man!!! Get a nice suspension setup too.

 

in other words...alot of sheeyat! adjustable shocks/springs, 440 injectors, forged pistons & rods, clutch, oil pressure,boost,egt gauges would be good, some type of engine management....pretty much the list goes on and on.

Well since you are waiting for the turbo, if I was you I would do either buy parts to support your turboed engine such as injectors, fpr etc, or just do your suspension for now and wait for the other stuff later. HTH

 

i am planning on getting skunk coilovers, but not 100% have not done enough background looks on coilover, and want 16x7 monsoons.

 

monsoons! aiya! jeez.....

 

Really, the best place to ask this if the FI forum. Though do a search in there, it has been asked many times before.

You don't really needs pistons/rods. Those are fairly hardcore and you shouldn't invest that much before you even get the turbo. Many many people run turbos on stock internals without harming anything. It is all about tuning.

My suggestion:
(1) clutch, for sure. Many people use the ClutchNet stage 2. I myself have it, though I'm not turbo yet. Very nice.
(2) Some suspension... springs/shocks, just to help keep the power down. You will still ge wheel hop though.
(3) Something for fuel... a Hondata 2b would be nice, else like a S-AFC to help trim stuff. Should get bigger injectors.

Fuel system normally depends on how much boost you want to run and your future plans. You just plan on staying low boost, get bigger injectors, a lower ratio disk for the FMU, and a S-AFC for tuning. If you want to boost a little more in the future, you will need it to be reliable, so you want to invest in a Hondata system, or some other standalone fuel management (Haltech, AEM, LINK)

 

i posted in there too, i just posted in here so integra turbod guys would see it as well if thre not in the FI board

ya the clutch i will get pretty soon.
whats hondata2 like 300us>?

 

The Apexi N1 is not 3" its only 60mm or a bit bigger then 2.5"
