Default Boosting my Integra

Ok so lets start off by saying I'm in my mid-30s and have been into the "scene" for a while. In fact I don't even know what the "scene" is called anymore. Anyway since I can remember I've always wanted a boosted Integra. I alsmost did (and had the money to do it) about 15 years ago with my first Integra LS. Didn't do it after all an instead sold it and bought another Integra that I went all motor with (you can see it in my garage). Anyway lucky Integra #3 is the one that's finally going to be boosted. I've owned this Integra LS for 8 years and pretty much kept it stock.

With all that said I need to find a kit. I remember "back in the day" kits were a dime a dozen for my car. Heck even Greddy made a kit for my Integra. Now I'm having trouble finding one. I really don't want to go the eBay route because I've heard nothing but problems with them.

So I'm basically looking for a turbo kit that I'd be pushing around 6-7psi on my B18B. Anybody have suggestions on where to get started? Oh yeah I want to keep my A/C because I live in Hawaii and need it. Additionally, I need to find an oil pan that is pre drilled for the oil line. They still make those for my car? (FOUND THE PAN: MOROSO #20911)

The trouble I'm finding right now is that my motor is ancient now and like all things, stuff starts getting discontinued. I've been on Honda-Tech for awhile so I know this is the place to get started.

Thanks for any and all help.

IMO stay away from kits. Not saying there aren't good ones out there, but if you're looking on ebay...you're going to have a bad time.

Basically find a good turbo manifold. Then get a quality turbo like garrett or precision. Not a china charger.

Then figure out what you're going to do for your intercooler. Find some piping intercooler kits. Hell could even go to silicon intakes and just do that.

Go to a good shop to get a downpipe, exhaust worked on.

Injectors, fuel pump, and tuning. And bits and pieces obviously. It probably won't be a completely bolt on affair either.

Here seems to be a decent looking kit as well with the option to do a GT28.

I'm not that knowledgeable on turbo'ing on this platform. But knowledgeable on turbos. Don't cheap on the turbo, fuel, or tuning.

I would think that somebody in the turbo forum would be kind enough to piece together a nice kit for you, maybe for a small service fee.
The prepackaged kits never seem to have the best parts, sadly.
