i have a 91' integra with b18a1 engine and want to turbo charge it now! where and what kind of turbo should i be looking at? no engine work is done so far so any sugguestions on what to do as far as that goes?

well before u just slap on a turbo ur definetely gonna wanna build it up first with some new rods and pistons (www.optauto.com) ...you also might wanna think about getting the block resleeved to handle whatever PSI your gonna throw at it. resleeved meaning getting the cylinder walls reinforced (www.goldeneaglemfg.com). Also you probably wanna go ahead and think about getting the b18b head on there with new headers and exaust system so the engine can breathe easier. as for a turbo though id go with Rev Hard RHSTGII turbo kit (www.revhard.com). But you know u can always go Procharger man. From what ive read the install on the procharger is alot easier and centrifugal superchargers generally require less maintenance. (www.procharger.com)

If you are new to the game of turbos I would suggest a greddy turbo kit. It is basic and can be used on stock engines. No need for rebuild unless your engine is already weak and rundown. Run it at 6psi and it will last a long time and add 50 hp easy!Either way run a small turbo for your stock motor. Small turbos spool up faster and won't peak out (become inefficient at high RPMs due to lack of CFM) on a low revving LS. I have included a couple of links., don't get overwhelmed it is just some theory. That is why I suggest the Greddy. it takes the guesswork out of your setup!The small turbo you should be looking for would reach full boost @ around 3500rpm

forget spending the 3-5 grand on a turbo so you can show off and blow your engine and your money. buy NOS instead, and blow your engine showing off for about 500 bucks.

Quick spool /low boost combinations1800-2200cc T3,60-62 trim T25,79 turbine T25:0.86 Exxhoust housing A/R Strong boost Onset rpm 2000-3000 Approx. Power Potenttial 100-200 for this set up. this will work for your stock set up just like any other. Note: any turbo set up will harm your block weeks or years. Note on top 6-8 PSI nothing more for the set up you have right now. this turbo is almost like the ones you get on E-BAY but the trim is a lill diffrnt. hope this helps ya

depends if its one of those bolt on turbo kits and what you really want the car to do

id start off with sumthing small..... maybe a t3/t4 hybrid....as for building the bottom end.. you dont have too.there have been ppl who run 19 psi on stock honda bottom ends.... its all about the tunning .... i suggest turbo cams and a new oil pump along with the turbo...
