Ok, I have a 1994 Integra GSR with over 100,000 miles in it. I got it for about $4,500. I am not some Punk Rich Asian Kid... Im just Asian with parents, so I don't have a lot of money to throw at my car. I'm fairly new to messing around with my car too. I have brother's who mess around with cars, but they don't have enough time to help me out in any way. I was wondering if I can buy some cheap *** turbo kit like this...


<A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo-Kit-Civic-Acura-Integra-B-series-SI-Intercooler_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQitem Z8004405856

and put in

AEM V2 Cold Air Intake
Greddy Evo2 Exhaust

Will this setup work? Or do I have to do lots of other modifications that'll be rediculous enough just to buy a new car? I was like thinking... If Im going to spend like an extra $3500 more for the upgrades... I'd rather just sell my car and use the money to down for an Infiniti G35 Coupe... but that's just me. And if anyone knows a Mechanic here in Las Vegas, Nevada who'd install a turbo kit, that'll be cool too. And lastly, if the Turbo kit sucks, can I just settle with an AEM V2, DC 4-2-1 header, and a Greddy Evo2 Exhaust? Thanks

 

well im not so sure but one thing they dont talk about in the description is oil line are there turbo with no oil? and also u gotta kno what ur goin to do about engine management i would recommend Hondata IMO

 

u cant use the aem v2 with a turbo cuz a turbo uses a chargepipe from the intercooler to the intake manifold

 

first off use the search engine. next that kit SUCKS *** its one of those chrome ones off ebay. yes theres other stuff you would have to buy like better fuel management and ignition if your gonna go above like 300hp. By the sounds of it you need to read up on turbos.

in the Vegas area i think theres a shop called LDL but not sure, and YES you could usa a CAI as charge pipes with some modification.

 

this is the only time that 'cheap' and 'turbo' should belong in the same sentence

lol

dont get cheap ones..there is many reason why is so cheap. weld is bad or turbo lag like motherfukaa, poor design, leak after engine worms up....
at least get greedy turbo kit

 

Do NOT buy a cheap *** ghetto turbo kit like that. If you can't afford a real kit, don't boost your car.

 

Read... and when your done with that, Read some more. You simply cannot get a solid reliable Turbo setup for 1k.

Do your homework, if you read ALOT you may be able to pull it off for around 2-2.5k, thats if you either learn to tune or get someone to tune it for free. Turbo projects always cost more than you expect though.

If you decide to persue it, piece together a setup, don't go with a cheap ebay kit.

 

imo i would not buy a turbo kit off ebay. I would get something that comes with some sort of warrenty. u wanna a good turbo go here http://www.full-race.com/catal...43_44

 

Dont buy that shiet.
Just peice your own kit its much cheaper if you'r trying to save.

off the topic..dont wanna make another thread.

is Honda Stage 1 (450 hp) from full-race can work with stock motor?? if so iam not gonna have 450hp..that mean motor work done and max turbo out put is 450hp right?

 

Gotta get the straight honda turbooezz

 

I figured the Turbo kit was cheap ***, but yeah, thanks for the opinion. But I guess, if I'm going Turbo, I think I'm just going to get the Greddy Kit with an Intercooler, its freakin' expensive, but what the hell... But for now, I think I can settle with an Intake, Header, Exhaust setup first. I read so much turbo information, I figured to just ask questions instead. Sometimes lots of people with fixed up cars go to Sonic's fastfood at Flamingo Street in front of Palms every Thursday night. Maybe I can get info there as well. Anyway, if anyone has a 94 Integra GSR that upgraded their car to Turbo, kindly post the mods.

 

Dont waste your money man, best deal with price in mind is a peakboost kit from http://www.cheapturbo.com KENs a great guy to deal with to

Did you know Honda-Tech has a Forced Induction forum? There is plenty of turbo-related discussion there

 

wow...thats freaking ghetto...lol

an intercooler alone should run you close to the price of that kit haha

 

I'm actually piecing together a super cheap kit with some ebay parts. However its not one of THOSE nasty kits. I saw that on there and for the same price I've pieced together one with brand name parts like revhard/greddy. There's always someone on there who's bought a kit and then wrecked their car before they put it on. Read some of their other listings. You know when it tells you it's not "made in cave" that it was probably "found in cave".

 

you should look at other websites, like homemadeturbo.com
for aditional information, on building a budget turbo...

 

I say build your own kit, its not that hard. Then spend what you saved on Hondata, or emanage.

Thats what I'm going to do sooner or later.

 

i say dont waist your money on i/h/e just to turn around and sell it when you go turbo.

Don't get e-manage. My friend's ls/turbo setup ran like garden slug. Then we took that out, and chipped his ECU for uberdata, and made a custom map, and it ran great

 

dont get that ****....ssautochrome is garbage. their manifolds literally explode..u get what u pay for
