GSR Turbo
I'm about ready to Turbo my 98 GSR.. I'm going to turbo the stock motor.. I need some Ideas on Turbo kit, Intake manifold, Head gasket, Exhaust manifold, EMS, ect…
Later on I will be building the bottom end. Please direct me in the right end for forced induction. Ie… Pistons, Rods, Bearings, Sleeves, balancing, bore.. ect..
THANKS FOR YOU HELP…

I would just get a basic turbo kit, get a Cometic head gasket, exhaust manifold comes with the kit, EMS - Hondata S200B with OBD2 to OBD1 conversion harness. I think that the kit will come with injectors, but it may not come with a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump. Then just get a clutch to handle the power and perhaps an LSD. Get Toyo Proxes -> cheapest high performing tire in my opinion. Then get the car tuned at a Hondata certified place. You won't need to build the bottom end until you want around 10 psi of boost depending on the size of the turbo of course. I like my setup a lot with the exception of my drag manifold. Arias pistons, Crower rods, Darton sleeves, Ferrea valvetrain, ARP head studs, are all good quality parts. I have MSD "stuff" on my car and I learned from experience that their customer service in Texas is shitty, but once they fixed my poorly made ignition, it has worked since.
Just really make sure that this is what you want to do. There is so much money involved that people just don't realize. Plus you'll never be smog legal again. If you have a shop do your work, they'll most likely "dick you around". This is just my and friends' experiences. If you do all the work, even if you're a rookie and have to learn as you go, the work will get done so much faster and probably be better done than a shop will do. Also do a SEARCH (it's the red link near the upper right) because there really is so much information about boosting cars and in particular OBD2 Integra GS-Rs.

I just got (in trade) a ls teg with a gsr engine that has a pretty ghetto turbo setup on it.
But its fun and basicaly only cost me 1000 bux (for the whole car)
My advice is if you plan on building an engine, and know that in the future a basic kit (like greddy etc) won't be able to cover your needs in the future you might as well not buy the same parts twice. So get a manifold that you will want to run on your built motor, get a turbo that you will want to run on your built motor etc.
In the long run it will save you money to buy the better parts now.
But if you aren't aiming for alot of power then one of the bolt on kits will probably get you where you want to be.

for 12 lbs u don't need that with a greddy kit, i run 11.2 psi off of my greddy kit and its perfectly fine, the greddy turbo dosen't flow that much... u need to do more research, the biggest thing u need to run more boost is ditch the 310cc injectors cause they will max out....
anything else im missing. i wanna boost 12ilbs[/QUOTE]
