I was lookin at revhard turbo stage2c is this adviceable?

 

I recommend having lots of money....

 

got the $$$$ on hand but dont know which to get... if u dont mind me askin what setup did u do? how much did u have to spend on everything? thanks if u could tell me!

 

custom kit, thats what I am doing. I figure if your going to spend the money why not get all good parts.

 

I recommend changing Changing your tranny!!!!!!!

 

DRAG3 GEN
Definitely, my homeboy has it on his R, with tuneups, little modi. 300 at Wheelz, FO Sure

 

check overboost.com or call BEN at importparts.com, he usually have group buys goin on for Turbos' will hook you up.

 

thankx bro appreciate it!

 

why would you recommend that?

 

changing my tranny??? did u have a problem on yours?

 

probably said to change it for a gsr or ls tranny (longer gears)

 

I recommend not doing that...

I may be in the minority, but I'd rather have my 175 N/A than 350 Turbo in the ITR.

Now, in a Porsche...

 

I;d recommend selling your R and get an LS. or even a GS-R...

"hmm let me buy this hi-compression, close-ratio car, and spend extra $$ to lower the compression and space out the gears...when I could have bought a low-compression, taller-geared car in the first place for less money"

Unless of course you just wanted the Type-R to say you have a Type-R.

 

 

some ppl might like the type r for its handling and turbo for its speed!

 

I agree with ross.......but, i can also see where the turbo guys are coming from. I would never lose the ITR tranny, but 50-75 more whp would be fun....

 

I admit I once was an R owner who wanted turbo, but I saw the "light" and realized how stupid I was for wanting that, when I could have done what Ross said.. Now I am a happy Spoonfed R owner, who is going to get into road racing real soon.

Turbo
N/A
Turbo on an R x 1,000,000
N/A on an R x 1,000,000

 

dont comment on things you know nothing about......

 

On the street with street tires (aka, shouldn't be racing), if you are having trouble with traction you might be a little bit faster with an LS transmission if it changes your effective torque to the wheels enough to keep traction. I mean, it's better to keep traction and accelerate more slowly than spin the wheels and go nowhere.

That said, i'd be hard pressed to find a scenario where the LS transmission gains you any traction. If you're spinning the wheels on the R transmission you're gonna spin them on the LS.

And any of those "less shifting" and "keeps you in boost" and "lets the turbo spool for longer" arguments are all absolute BS.

 

If you plan to build it then go for it. I would get a custom turbo kit. If you are going to keep the stock compression then forget it. Don't waste your time putting a perfectly good motor through all that. Your better off going NA. If you lower the compression and get a good kit your Type-R tranny will be fine. I have a friend that has a b16 tranny in his 2000 Civic Si "which is stock ofcourse" with stock bottom end running 12.3. It's all about your boost setup. I don't recommend doing what he is doing with the stock bottom end and with that compression, but it just shows anything is possible. Our motor in our car is a 2000 b18c5, but it is built for boost. I hope that helps.

 

this seems vaguely familiar... =P

 

If you go to http://www.takakaira.com/ they have a Apex turbo kit specifically made for the Type R.

 

Yes go with the turbo............it you have the cash!!!

I'm going turbo on my Type R hopefully in the next few months, I just started piecing it together. Don't listen to all these guys telling you to go buy a GSR or LS. Different strokes for different folks. This will be my 3rd boosted Honda/Acura, it's just so much fun to kick the **** out of virtually any domestic and see there face when you walk away from them Yeah, I've autocrossed the R and I love it but for some reason I keep wanting to go fast in a straight line too. There is absolutely no reason not to boost an R. Slightly lower the compression with a headgasket if you don't plan on internals right away. Then if you know turbos, put together a custom kit. If not, then run a quality premade kit such as Revhard, Greddy, or Drag. Don't get boost happy and keep boost conservative and you WILL NOT blow the motor.

I recommend kicking your self in the nuts....I'm just being a dick though. It's your car, but I hate to see people boost their ITRs so they can be a better stoplight assasin. If you are compelled to boost a car, start with an engine that was factory boosted (SR20 DET). No matter how much $$ you put into boosting your ITR, You will never beat an SR20 DET with the same amount of $$ into it. If you say you want you ITR for the handleing, you really cant beat RWD (240SX) handleing with a stick. If you just want to Bling Bling and say you have an ITR...go for it. Absolutly just my opinion.
