Ok, just wanna know what you guys think about a set up I am pursuing.

Car is a '91 Acura Integra four door DB1. Doing an LS-Vtec with the following:

-'91 B18A block (fresh), PLANNING ON: shot peened rods, balanced rotating assembly.
-CTR STD Pistons from YCP (Wrist pins, rings, etc., all included and brand new)
-'95 GSR Head, new valve seats, as well as internal parts, all stock
-ARP head studs, arp wave-lock rod bolts
-GSR Oil Pump
-GSR water pump
-GSR timing belt

Now here's the boost part...I have a turbo kit made for my car (b-series), direct bolt on, but was wondering with all the mentioned above, do you think I should boost it? Here's my turbo set up:

-Eclipse GSX turbine, internal wastegate (7000 miles on it since rebuild)
-Custom log manifold
-Custom 2 1/2" down pipe
-450CC DSM Injectors
-255lph Bosch fuel pump
-Missing link (for 90-93 integras)
-Manual boost controller (going electronic when I find a good deal)
-Greddy Type R BOV (Overkill, I know, but I got it with my set up)
-Also not made yet, but getting 2 1/2" intercooler piping into a side mount for now, and then upgrading to a front mount

Also thinking about doing a full silicone intercooler piping. But that's another thread...


Anyways, let me know what you guys think. Thanks

I wouldnt boost just cause I can be happy just with that LS-V setup.

 

you should definitely boost, with that set up you won't even hit the 200hp mark

 

yeap boost and sell the car three months later.
thats what always happens and cant tell you why.

 

Lol...I doubt I will sell it. It's hard for me to sell cars that I put alot of work into. With the exception of the pistons, I have installed everything myself. With a good tune, I think I will be happy for awhile before I decide to do another swap!

I guess I'll boost it...I mean I have almost everything right now besides the piping. Boost it is!

 

I would turbo it if i were you...i love my boosted GSR. The only hesitation i have is that the 14b is a tiny little turbo for a high revving Honda engine. You're going to have boost quickly, but it will fall off in the top end. As long as you're ok with that, i say go for it. If you have any further questions, check out the Forced Induction Forums.
