?? TURBO ??
I've been thinking about getting a turbo for my 1996 acura integra LS but i dont know anything about turbos and prices and ECU's if you could give me some info about this it would help also keep in mind i wanna do a b18c IT-R swap so if u could give me some info about getting a tubo on a b18c GS-R and on the b18c IT-R it would be great

I dont think that boosting the type r is tougher to do. The type r has higher compresion so you have to limit boost on a stock engine. Anyone can bolt on a turbo but w/o the proper engine managment your driving a time bomb.

Re: ?? TURBO ?? (DRAG lll INTEGRA)
Why not just keep your b18b (stock ls engine) and boost that. With the extra money that you'd pay for a c1 or c5 you could build up your bottom end and put down crazy power.
If you do upgrade, just get a b18c1, no sense paying the crazy extra there is with a c5, you can make any of those engines very reliable if tuned correctly with good engine management.
You have a lot to search and read about before you even start thinking about this.

swap= waste of $ if you're gonna boost it
turbo b18b and build 'dat ish =
if you "don't know anything about turbos and prices and ECUs", then....
SEARCH....
my suggestion: keep your stock ecu, and get it chipped for hondata, or uberdata. Superior fuel management/tuning is certainly the icing on the cake whenever you're talking about turbo
