Here is the deal I have a 1996 Integra ls with a 125xxx on it. I want to turbo it but Im not wanting to make any crazy numbers or anything. I looking to make about 180-200 hp and keep daily driver realiabilty. Is this possiable with just adding a turbo and some tuning.

 

That sounds reasonable. Get a compression and leak test done to evaluate the health of the engine. Do some reading in the FI forum.

 

like the guy above said, make sure your car isnt burning oil or has any leaks before you put on a turbo kit.

compression and leakdown will tell you a lot.

a greddy kit will get you close to 200 whp depending how much boost you want to run.

 

Im looking in the FI forum but what I need help on is where to start ya know like maybe a write up or build on a integra.

theres tons of information out there on how to install a turbo kit.

its quite simple once you have identified the main parts. try searching the archives also.

Once you do a compression test and establish a budget, search the FI forums and you will find a lot of information on almost everything you'll need to know. Also, if you ever have questions, you can PM me and we'll chat.

Your power goals are very reasonable...if anything, you could get away with more power actually. My 65k mile stock block GSR was at 315whp for a year and at 300whp the previous year. As long as the engine is healthy, there's no reason a good turbo setup with a conservative tune wouldn't work just fine for you and be reliable.

 

Alright thanks for the help guys Im going to go dive into the FI forum and see what I can learn.
