Car Forum / Acura Cars / March 2005Integra GS-R Turbo
Anyone: Has anyone installed a turbocharger on a Generation 3 (94-01) Integra? Did you have a good experience or was it more trouble or less effective than its worth (cost to purchase)? Troy > Anyone: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Troy Check out the forums at: http://www.honda-tech.com/ >> Anyone: >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Check out the forums at: http://www.honda-tech.com/ Putting a turbo on such a hi-compression motor as the 94-01 GSR would make a motor that requires super-high octane,and may not last very long,or not make a lot more power.I suspect boost would have to be limited.

Of course, compression ratios can be changed... The higher the PSI you desire, the lower the compression ratio pistons you will need. >>>> Anyone: >>>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Of course, compression ratios can be changed...

I didn't see anything that would indicate a reluctance to change the pistons... Do you have any idea how common turbos and superchargers are for Hondas? It's really the most cost effective way to make power, after Nos and way cheaper than bolt-on mods dollar/HP.

Some turbo installs ARE bolt-ons(DIY),and some aren't. When you get into changing pistons/rods/heads and internal mechanicals,the costs and trouble go way up.And requires more skills and perhaps specialized tools. A good guide is the more power,the greater the complexity/difficulty,and cost.The question is;how much and how far is the OP willing to go? Both in terms of desired power,effort,and cost. Obviously,the OP has not done his research,and instead is looking for opinion on this NG. Not too wise. SignatureJim Yanik jyanik at kua.net People turbocharge integra gs-r's all the time. If you are wanting to put any more than 9psi then i would get a larger head gasket to lower the compression a little. >>>>>>> Anyone: >>>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > Obviously,the OP has not done his research,and instead is looking for > opinion on this NG.
