Default ls turbo???

i am deciding whether to do a n/a build up for my b18b or turbo b18b... i dont know much about turbo **** so thats why im starting this thread... but if i wanted to go turbo wat would i get... my idea: start off buying a rev hard or drag stage 3 turbo, then get some low compression pistons(something like je), some turbo cams(something like crower), the some valve springs and retainers... Would that be okay?? what would u recommend?? how would a ls turbo perform??wat do u think n/a or turbo??

oh great just like every other integra turbo thread already on H-T

what goals are you looking for? please dont say you just want to be fast, who doesnt?

how much hp are you wanting to get out of your set up? either way its going to be pretty expensive. I suggest doing some leg work yourself and search the forums for some info, nobody knows what you want but you.

You will always want more!!! especially with a turbo because there are so many parts that will yield great gains, but you have to pay big the play big

If you do go turbo and your goals are only 13's keep it simple. You dont need Cams, Retainers,ect.... blah all those things are not needed to run 13's all you need is a descent turbo kit,tuning,some good rubber, and a descent driver.

My #'s in my signature are stock motor, stock intake manifold, stock everything.

if your stock motor is healthy, boost it. get a DRAG3 kit...

you dont need any turbo cams or anything like that. i would recommend upgrading the internals if you plan on boosting high psi.

I would recommend you get a drag kit and go from there too.. you will need to custom some minor stuff like oil return line, maybe a tial wastegate...

and then tuning is important.. get hondata and walboro, dont mess around the tuning with a hack setup...
