Default Considering going turbo.

So I have a 93 Integra GS. And I'm thinking about either doing LS turbo now, or saving for a B18C Type R motor and turboing that later. What are your guys' opinions? Regardless I'll be using a Drag Turbo Kit (www.dragturbokits.com), what do u guys know about these kits with a b18c swap? What have you heard about the company? And I honestly don't know anything about turbo so what else would I have to buy besides

Drag High flow 4 into 1 cast iron turbo exhaust manifold
Turbonetics T3/T4 High flow turbocharger assembly
Turbonetics Deltagate Mark II Wastegate (7 PSI Spring)
Drag High Flow front mount intercooler w/
polished cast aluminum end tanks
BLITZ Super Blow Off Valve
Drag mandrel bent high flow chrome plated intercooler pipes
Drag mandrel bent high flow exhaust down pipe
Drag wastegaste dump tube assembly
Drag Blue silicone hose and hose clamps
Drag High pressure/High volume inline fuel pump
Drag Boost dependent FMU fuel regulator
Intake air filter assembly
Map sensor bypass valve assembly
Stainless steel braided oil feed line w/ fittings
Oil return assembly
All necessary hardware and fittings
All necessary hose and hose clamps
All necessary gaskets
Installation manual
A turbo timer
new spark plugs
MAP bypass

Thanks in advance HT.

just by your post, i think u should do more research and figure out what engine you would like to do..

Plan everything out according to your budget and add 30% more on top of that.

Theres little things that need to be done with the install..

Not to mention new clutch, radiator, fan etc..

* you dont need the map bypass. that was the old skool method but the new programming nowadays are amazing.



*edit

for a GSR, that manifold doesnt flow well past 6k, and the WG port should be in the middle so all 4 feed the WG.
That IC piping has rolled edges on some and not on others.. you want rolled edges to keep couplers from blowing off.
Theres other kits i would look into besides this one.. But this is my opinion.

Better to spend the $$ on the right parts the 1st time, cuz you will be replacing items from that kit very soon.

I got a drag kit and was disappointed with the materials. The only things I ended up using were the turbo, intercooler and the wastegate. Do a lot of research and build your own, but if you have to go with a kit get something quality like "full race." spoolinperformace.com and atpturbo.com are good resources for building a good turbo kit.
