hi people at the min i have a 91 civic hatch with a b16a in it, but i have big plans ahead, am lookin to do a integra type r conversion with a turbo!! just lookin for some advice on what steps i should take or is there any links to show me what steps i should take?? eg, will i have to do some internal work on the engine? any help will be greatly appreciated... thanks!

 

theres alot of threads on your question. try using the search feature.
Ill save ya some time here.

First you wanna obviously swap the type-r in etc.
Then you need to make a money and power goal with the turbo setup, cuz man it aint cheap.

The stock internals on the type-r support like 7psi do to its high compression, and alot of ppl even run 5psi daily driver on it. If you got the money build the bottom end (dont be gay and get lsvtec). I mean if moneys no option u might as well get aftermarket pistons, rods, sleeve the block, balance the crank etc.

Also, run a 3" exhaust if anything and try to have the biggest downpipe size possible, possibly 3", this way the turbo can spool quicker, replace the cat for a test pipe or a 3" cat.

If you got big plans you might as well learn how to piece together a turbo kit, and theres plenty of info on the Forced Indution forums on the main page under like an FAQ's.

 

I'm not sure if you have all the parts for the swap and wire harness but haspot does make a really good product line which makes the conversion a lot easier and clean making the lower end upgrades would be a great add on and for vtec programing you could look into apexi if you have any questions about products feel free to ask i'm sure i could get them to you at a reasonable price thanks

. . . in which case it would be pointless to buy a Type-R engine, because you'd be paying extra money for internals that you'll just be throwing out.

 

Targa is 100% correct. There is no point in spending the extra $$$ just to have a ITR when you are going to replace a good portion of the ITR parts.

 

thats why i went with GSR . I personally dont believe in LSvtec, it just doesnt seem right to me.
