Default Need some advice for My GSR

Hey everyone, was recommended by a friend and wanted to know if anyone could help me out w/ some questions I have.

1. Motor has 130k, Is it worth rebuilding for Turbo?

2. If I do rebuild the motor what is the best parts recommended to get for it? (pistons, cams, ect.)

3. Rebuilding does cost money, what is the normal price range to turbo ready the motor to handle about 30 lbs of boost?

4. Wanting to install LSD tranny, what would be the ideal price range for this?

5. Wondering where to get the best deal on a S15 conversion or a JDM front conversion?

Thanks Everyone

LOL....S15 conversion is for the 240sx, and the prices on the jdm Sir-G or "JDM" front end conversion vary depending on the supplier.

S15 that’s funny so how abut you tell us first what car do you have. turbo costs alot if you want the car run clean and good with a good amount of hp you need $$$$$ . and even so turbo gives you problems left and right after a while so you be going in n out a mechanic in daily bases good luck.

Since no one wants to answer you seriously, I will.

First off you should look at the Integra FAQ and also the Forced Induction FAQ in their respective sections.

1. Depends, does it burn oil? The main concern are you piston rings. If your rings are shot, they're going to go out quicker when you have turbo due to the temperature rise. But if everything is in working order, the stock engine should be able to take boost even at 130k. Some may disagree with this, but it is very possible to boost a 130k motor without a rebuild. The most important part is the tune. Again, the most important part of the turbo setup is the tuning of the engine.

2. If you are rebuilding for forced induction performance, forged internals are the way to go. They have higher heat resistance and some are lighter weight. Depending on your power goals, a good turbo cam would be the ITR/CTR b-series camshaft set. Some people can get away with running an aftermarket stage 2 camshaft set, but the increase of overlap time may disrupt the flow of gasses within the cylinder.

3. 30 lbs? Sleeved block, forged internals, ported and polished head, aftermarket valvetrain, the whole nine yards. A more realistic goal would be 10-12 psi on a stock engine, 16-18 on a engine with forged internals.

4. OEM ITR LSD is about $350 but needs to get installed. You're better off getting a OEM ITR Transmission for $1000 and selling your gsr transmission. If you want to go aftermarket, there are many names out there i.e. quaife, ats are some off the top of my head.

5. Dont do it, everyone will laugh at you
