yep, I'm saving right ($7000 to be exact). Its time for the R to get a TURBO (evil laugh), screw all this N/A stuff, N/A is just not getting enough hp for me and with austrian Type R on this board running his turbo in track situations and not having problems I'm hooked. I'll have an R that not only handles like god but also is fast as ***** in any situation (I just can't wait). I'll still have the VTEC sound but with the spooling of a turbo to accompany it and the phsss and the BOV vavle make my mouth water. I know I'll probably get flamed for this but hey it my choice. Of coarse my R motor will be fully built and hopefully (praying to god) I'll have no problems. What do you guys thinks (I already have $2500 saved and still going strong).

 

ITR + turbo & track =

ahh there you are I knew you'd read this

 

sounds good. do it right the first time. if you plan on boostin more than ***** boost, get hondata or another standalone


good luck!

 

20 psi is that ***** LOL

 

you're planning on running 20psi? no thats not *****, but i dont think traction will be quite optimal, to say the least

 

Once you go turbo you don't go back.

 

I'll go ahead and chime in on these type posts, I'm pieceing my custom turbo kit together as we speak. It's going to take some time but I plan on boosting in the next few months
M

 

not 20psi ALL the time but hey I'm going the whole 9 yards with this one, different rods, pistons, retainers, iron sleeves, yada yada yada, different clutch uprade some more stuff, honda data. This may cost more than 7000g's but I'm ready Amex to the rescue. Traction I know will be a problem, but hey so is traction in a 400hp supra. I just have to learn to drive it AGAIN

 

Good i'm glad you're planning on spending the money necessary to do it right.


haha, have you driven a 400whp supra? I have, trust me when i say RWD+400whp+285s out back=Way way way better traction than anything an ITR could have short of drag slicks. no matter though, your ride will still ride out on some serious hardware

 

good luck on racing your 20psi on road course in summer.

 

ahhh, I read sarcasm in that post. You mean you think I'm gonna overheat on the track huh, talk to australian type R, and he will tell you about whipping 996's *** on track on hot days without any overheating problems. That why I getting a turbo because of his experiences

Yeah, it was a 25 degree hot day and I was boosting about 1 Bar for periods about 3-6 seconds on the straights 1/2 hour on a smal track. No problems and the temp gauges have shown numbers like when normal driving.

Of course, when it is 35 degrees hot it is a difference, but I doubt it will overheat when you know what you are doing. The upcomming summer is my 1st with turbo. Boosting 12psi on hot days should be good enough

 

hey hooptie can i come play when your done haha good luck with your setup man!! build the motor up STRONG so you can boost past all those DSM's

ahhhh I cant wait until its time for my baby to go in the shop *sigh*

ryan - who drools at the thought of his ITR boosting and pssshhhhing

 

well, if your place call 25C a hotday then good for u. and on top of that 20psi is more than 1 bar, so i think u will run hotter than austranlian.
i got a friend(itr) with whole motor build up, custom made T3/T4 ball bearing turbo, huge radiator, IC, oil cooler. its still running a little bit too hot after 3-5laps under 30C weather.

 

Good luck with the setup.

 

thanks,I will post pics the we-tod-did way and show you all the steps of the process. I will keep my H-T peeps updated

 

just what i wanted to hear, what turbo you planing, get one that spools quickly

 

probably a t3/t4 or something similiar. I want power but I don't want so much turbo lag its gross like on some supras I've driven in

 

Glad to hear your boostin instead of sellin!

 

I have to keep it real with Honda while battling EVO's and Sti or even the new SVT cobras

 

awesome......and dont waste money on stupid little things...lol......cause i know 2500 looks good in the account.....
