I wanna turbo my GS, Help Ci!!

[hollowfox]

hey pplz,

I have a couple questions and I'm stumped , I want to throw a turbo into my 98 gs integra but don't know what would be the best way to go about it.. I have an automatic tranny and someone told me it wouldn't work b/c of high compression engine and turbos are low compression.. i want to keep it automatic but I want more horsey's whats the best way to add? another thing is I'm thinking about putting in a vtec head will the turbo be better? and how much hp will the head add? heres a link to a turbo I want to get and should I get it?

do you really think a turbo kit for 600 is a good choice

you have a lot of reading and searching to do

 

[hollowfox]

idk.. I'm stumped iv'e been looking around to see if I can find someone with the same problem and havent found anything.. im trying to stay under 800

 

[nicoalex2]

then you can't do it.

save your money

=/ how can I add power? my father want about 300hp in total

 

[Joshmmc]

300hp is't slightly realistic for under 800. Think something above $2000.

 

[nicoalex2]

1st - auto to man swap anywhere from $1000-2000
2nd - turbo kit atleast $1000 if you can get items used at a good price
3rd - tune the car a few hundred dollars

you have to make sure the engine is healthy before you even start to buys parts

I've never done this so this is all i can think of

 

[hollowfox]

wow... well how much will the turbo add? he wants more power and I'm not sure where to start

 

[hollowfox]

naa no swap he wants to keep the auto.. I was told the ebay turbos are just as good

 

[nicoalex2]

depends on what turbo and parts that you have and are looking at.

You are asking a question that is too broad.
Try a simple google search "how to turbo a integra"

You were lied too. The auto tranny can't handle it. If you want to stay auto go here http://www.levelten.com/

 

[hollowfox]

ok so what would get me the most hp for under 800?

 

[hollowfox]

[nicoalex2]

Go to honda-tech or team-integra they may have more info for you
