Hi i think im going to do a swap with a type r motor and maybe put a small turbo on it. I cant decide... would putting a small turbo on it a good idea or no?

Thanks

 

First, search. Unlike the Urban legand, ITR's can be turbo'd

 

How about you actually get the motor before deciding what you want to do with it?

well i have one lined up I just want to know more about the motors... im new to the honda scene. Geez guys cut me some slack

So would it be a good idea to boost it or just leave it all motor? I looked in the classifieds and i havent seen any boosted just all motor.

IMO if you want to boost a honda motor find yourself an LS motor. If you want a good reliable mildly built all motor set-up then an ITR motor with a built head will serve you just fine. It all depends on what you are looking for. What are your plans for the car?

 

what is the goal for the car? drag? road course? auto x? daily driver? weekend warrior?

there is nothing wrong with putting a turbo on a stock ITR motor, however you have to know the realistic limitations and expectations of such a setup, which requires lots of research and knowledge, which can be found in the archives. Ill speak for most of us here and say study the archives, there is a TON of information there. Some legit, some of it people talking out their ***. If you have specific questions after that point, feel free to ask and for the most part you will get many answers or help.

 

Lookout for user RTW DC2R. He's one of those that talks out of his ***. He knows nothing of turbo's.

 

this is true!

 

if you want to turbo... get a cheaper motor, unless you are a balla. As far as getting an ls for turbo... i disagree, vtech and turbo together are something serious. wooo!

take a stroll into the FI forum and see what kind of numbers the LS motors are putting out. dont sleep on the LS

 

ok well im thinkin road course and autox. The Type r motor is built, and i was thinkin on putting a gt28 turbo on it and only boost it to 8psi. But i dont know what car i want to put it in. It comes in a CRX but i kinda want a newer hatch what do you guys think?

Thanks

 

b18c5 is masterpiece N\A.... only looks' good turbo'd if its in an ITR

If you got a civic, get a LS and boost that! ;p plus, if ya blow **** up, engine cost ya $500 if not more

 

ask chris f about turbo'ing integra motors.

 

Ok thanks for the inputs!!!! :D
