I was planning to put a custom Turbo setup on my Integra GSR. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me out and let me know exactly what I would need. Thanks for your time and hope to hear from someone shortly. Thanks

 

im a noob with turbo too but i have a generalization of it.

1- you need a turbo of course, most likely im going to go with a T3/t4 hybrid
2- Need a wastegate Tial?
3- Turbo manifold
4- FMU - Fuel management unit?
5- Intercooler
6- all the piping
7- good management system ( Hondata )
8- The nice BOV

i believe GS-R's have high compression, so you wanna get forged low compression pistons so you can boost more, get new rods, titanium valve springs, get the block sleeved and i think you should be fine for now.... and of course theres the other misc. stuff, electronic boost controller, turbo timer, blah blah..... thats from what i know but if someone else can correct me, please do theres also a site which guides you on what you need and how to do it.... i'll post it up later

 

Never fear, 1 point 6 is here!

They did mention the adapter plate in the article, but not on the list, so here is the specs on that, word for word from the article. You are going to need a custom manifold to use on a b18, shouldnt be to hard to fab one out of an exsisting stock one.

Using the HF manifold as a guide, center it on a piece of .75 x 4 x 5 inche flat steel plate that is roughly big enough to mate the header and turbo. Mark and center punch the four holes on the manifold. Drill and tap with a 10mm x 1.25mm tap .5 inch deep for all four holes, but do NOT go all the way through. If you prefer you can skip this process and weld the plate directly to the manifold. But i know some people dont have welders. Here is a pic of the adapter plate

Check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com, they have some good articles and good resources if your going to tackle this by yourself.

 

crx mani is not going to fit on a GSR motor though...

try a drag gen3 kit. they run t3/t4s i hear they're pretty spankin. only about $3k

 

I think the important question is how much do you plan on spending , it'll narrow things down

 

Well I was planning on getting a couple of things that included the following:

Greddy Type 24 Intercooler with piping
Turbo exhuast manifold (Dont know what kind)
Downpipe (dont know what kind)
T3/T4OE Turbo .50 AR 57T Turbo
Greddy Type S BOV
35mm Tial Wastegate
Hondata (S200B)
440 RC Injectors with Clips
Greddy Profec B Spec 2 Boost Controller

Is there anything else I would need to get to complete this setup? Would I need a Turbo Timer?

 

You should consider getting a good flowing stainless steel manifold, an equal length one. Check my site at http://www.5252motorsports.com/store/turbo.htm
All prices are in canadian funds so you'll find that we are very reasonably priced. The manifolds we carry are all Lovefab manifolds and are good up to and probably over 550whp!

 

nice little list of misc stuff
