yea i got a 94 integra ls with some mods .. and it got about 110,XXX miles on it ... it is in good working order and everything do u think it is safe to turbo it or do i have to many miles to turbo it

 

I think you should search, and stop asking a question that is asked at least once a day.

 

I would get a compression test and a leakdown test done. Engines can last a long time, and yours may still be puttin up some strong consistent compression. Both of those tests you may be able to do yourself--with the right tools.

..my engine has 187k

-P

 

It will only last so long, lower the boost longer it will last, its really up to you. But you will no doubt run in to some sort of problem after its done. Im sure somehting will go according to how much boost is being runned and how hard you drive it.

 

Like stated before, you should first check for compression and leak down to see how healthy your motor is, your mileage isnt too bad, I have almost 119xxx and been turboed for close to a year now. Its all about tuning

 

hmm

 

should you do a fWD turbo... hmm... IMHO nope...

 

Thats because you probably havent had enough experience driving one

Yes, go turbo. Compression, leakdown, go to town. Reliability isnt much different than stock if you do it right.

I think its beneficial to leave some of these threads open in the model forums to give new people some basic information about turbocharging, because many times the FI forum is way over peoples heads.

 

yea sometimes in the FI they can get into some terms that some people may not know and just get more confused.. like someone stated above your motor will last as long as it is tuned right... you could boost 7 psi and still blow if not tuned right..

 

well you got to ask yourself the question. Do i want to turbo, am i worried, how much money do i have. If you got the money, you want more power, then YES turbo it.
