im picking up an integra ls soon and id like to know what would be better for daily. im only looking for around 180-200whp
Ls/Vtec or just slap on a Greddy Turbo Kit and call it a day. probably looking around to spend $5-6 CDN. please vote and state your opinion and put down any other options that are out there. thanks!

 

with that kind of budget you can get a greddy kit.... i dont know what your smog laws are like but in the states the greddy kits can pass smog so they are always a good buy... and out of your options the greddy kit will defitnatly produce the most power.... ls vtec is fun but turbo is just like vtec too.. but bigger!!!
if you look really hard and find a cheap vtec head maybe you can do both turbo and vtec...

but yeah if you want to get to 200whp turbo will EASILY get you there.... well... it will get you there way faster than NA Vtec will....

trust me bro. for your goals turbo is clearly the answer.

I have a turbo b20 btw... i had come to the same crossroads in 2005... turbo or vtec and i am glad i went with turbo....

You mean total...? With or w/o the car? If w/o then LS/Vtec-T it. If total then turbo it... I would kinda go all out on turbo though... like first upgrade cams/piston/clutch/exhaust/header/etc.. but then you would be over your budget. The enless possiblities...

 

turbo...

without the car. well this integra im only lookin for 180-200whp for DD then my rsx im thinking of going full race stage 1 or 2.

and thanks for all the replys.

 

just do what im gonna do fully build the ls and do a custom turbo setup

 

turbo

 

turbo FTW, both worlds German Boost, and Honda vtec , go with a custom turbo setup probably better then the greddy kit, but if your only looking for around 180-200whp then the greddy kit should do fine for you. Make sure you get a ems, Hondata would be a great choice, and have it dyno/tuned immediately after install, and post up your numbers and result of your build. GL!

 

smog laws dont exist where i live haha. so im guessin greddy kit + bolt ons then call it a day. any inputs on a JRSC? for the greddy should i just get the e-mange that it offers or should i go with hondata and would i need a new ecu if i went with hondata? basically wanting something equivilent to kpro.

 

why greddy? look at the Drag gen 3. less money and you can make 250whp range. no more or less than greddy

 

i havent really looked into turbos alot.. like ive been lookin into hks greddy and full race for the rsx. ive heard of rev hard, drag, and so on.. this car is for my girl and she doesnt need anything too powerfull. 180whp is what im lookin for and 200whp is pushing it.

 

Turbo

 

fully built N/A LS motor.

For a daily driver a turbo is pointless. A VTEC head will give you some solid horsepower, be reliable and significantly cheaper than a turbo. It'll be cheaper not only in initial cost but also long term repairs. Turbos require more upkeep than a VTEC engine so unless you desperately need the extra 20 ponies, don't bother.

it would be a cheaper build to go ls/vtec? and any inputs on JRSC?

 

Looks like you can get a head for less than 1000 on these boards. I don't know anything about the supercharger.

 

turbo ftw

 

well i would go for a custom turbo kit cause its cheaper and for the power u want shouldnt be that bad

 

ls vtec + bolt ons where would i be sittin? reliability wise? &gt; turbo?

 

turbo
