Ok, so I was a hardcore All-Motor guy a couple months ago. I got to drive a Turbo Integra during that time, and it really blew my All-Motor pride out the door. The turbo teg was so much faster and much more fun to drive. So... the bug bit me and I decided to goto the Dark Side...

I first planned to go with a simple GReddy Bolt-On Turbo Kit. Was planning to spend $3000.00 total. Well, after doing alot of research, I decided to go with a Custom turbo kit and get quality products. I've learned that doing it RIGHT from the beginning will save me alot of $$ and headaches later on. So I said **** it, and decided to go all out. Besides, ya know the saying "You get what you pay for."

Well, here we go. I'm getting REALLY close to completing my Custom Turbo kit finally after spending a SHIETLOAD of $$$$. I just need a couple more things, like a Fluidyne Half-Core Raidator, Slim size fan, oil catch can, intercooler, charge pipe, and dump tube. After that, I should be ready to install everything and Dyno Tune it.


A little background info:

I have a 2000 Integra GS-R, with about 13,000 miles currently. Only driven on weekends. Garaged on the weekdays. Never seen rain, and kept in immaculate condition. (Thank God for my commute car).

Hopefully, it'll be all done and up and running by the end of the year. My goal is to make around 350-400wHP.

If you guys have any advice, comments or questions, you're more than welcome to ask.


I've been around Honda-Tech for awhile, so I just wanted to keep the Integra family updated on my lil project.

Damn talk about money. And 13K on a 2000 GSR. My 2000 has 103K hahah. Good luck with everything.

 

Holy ****... you weren't lying when you said you were going all out. You said you planned on spending around $3000 but my guess is you spent way more than that for all that work... to your setup though, looks good!

It's nice to see someone do it all right from the start. I would like to do the same (starting w/ a swap for lower mileage) but my pockets aren't that deep. Keep us updated!

 

ummm....... WOW. i cant wait to see this fall through for you!!! keep us posted, which im sure you will! im jealous

 

Nice as hell!
I wish i would have taken pics of all my **** layin around before i installed it..
LET ME KNOW HOW THAT CLUTCH is!

Ill be needing a new one after this winter

What about a LSD?

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

LSD
Traction Bars
Tein Suspension
Brake Upgrade

are the 4 things I'm getting after my car is Turbo'd. But for now, I gotta lay off my wallet.

 

Nice setup... you did alot of the same stuff I did! Good luck!

 

money well spent.

 

BALLER! Looks like a great setup, keep us posted of the updates

 

thats a lot of dough for all that stuff, but it looks good....especially your turbo manifold.

 

damn...whats the grand total of all the stuffs?

 

so where is the pict of the final bill?

 

Wow, *envy*

Atleast you are doing it right. That is the way that I would like to go about it, best quality everything and get it all done right... unfortunately for myself it'll be a few years in the futre.. but good luck anyway! have fun

 

Oh boy... I spent over $6,000.00 so far and I still have $3k-$4k more to go. The Grand Total will probably be around $10,000.00

 

Don't forget the cost to maintain it, and to drive it.

 

looking good to me.

one word as advice. ive spent over 5k in just my motor/work done it (machine shop) youll regret not getting it sleeved unless your like me and think you can pull it off.... (my car isnt done yet so i havent got to prove ****, but i do wish i got sleeves; **** why not i got rest of all the stuff)

any how, looks good as usual, GL HF and drive safe

EDIT: i re-read everything and our setsup are EXACTLY the same(well close i bought a b16, and misc different parts), man id sleeve it before its too late. maybe your only going to make little power, but from your statement above (your addicted too boost)youve tasted it once and your going to want more

Damn that is a great setup you got goin there man, the list just went on...good luck with it!!

 

Dude thats friggin awesome!

BUT, Before you put that stuff in, you NEED to get a **** load of security/anti theft features for your car, it'll be sad to see another "Never thought it would happen to me, car stolen" post here man, SECURITY! Layer n layers of it!!! Especially once you get a FMIC, thieves will be drooling over your car

 

Where can the Race Engineering Hi-Flow Block Guard be found?

I was looking at the golden eagle, which looks like a good piece, but i noticed how this has allot of coolant passages...

I just wonder if all those coolant passages, might possibly weaken the guard?
