turbo questions for 99 integra LS

[riotfish]

Hey, I have a completely stock 99 integra LS and I'm interested in getting my car boosted. I've read some FAQ's and found them very helpful. But what turbo kit would you guys suggest (i'd like to pay under $2k for a turbo kit)? I've been looking at the B16 B18 TURBO KIT WITH INTAKE ( http://www.ssautochrome.com/level.itml/icOid/1633) from ssautochrome, but i'm not sure if it's good or not and if it comes with all the parts needed. Is there a website with decent kits that aren't too expensive? Just looking for help.


Thanks,
Kyle

sweet thanks very much. what would you suggest doing to my car before a turbo? and about what price would that run alltogether?

thanks

for a qualilty kit, expect to spend about 2k-2.5k. then you will need tuning which will be another 500. the only things you really need to do to your car before turbo is freshen it up. flush the tranny fluid, new spark plugs wires, dizzy cap and rotor, etc. you will need some ngk bkr7e spark plugs. part number 6097 at any local parts store. id get a new clutch to hold the power, and maybe some new tires. before you do anything though, do a compression test on your motor to make sure its healthy enough for boost. a compression tester is 30 bucks at any parts store and its really easy to do. gl

10 with good tunning max i say ... if u are gonna get a ebay kit then replace the wastegate first.

 

[riotfish]

nah, only kit i would get would be a revhard S2 or a GReddy kit...most likely i'll piece together a kit

greddy good idea. I was gonna suggest that but you already know that much. good luck on the turbo build.

Are you looking to keep A/C and P/S?

 

[riotfish]

definately wanna keep P/S...i'd really like to keep A/C, but if it saves money/ time then i'm willing to go without it
