Made me think of this....

But, then I thought, naah, this!

:eek:

That should give a bit of "Real boost!" :D

Interesting thread mate, subscribed.
 
Well I think it's a great idea and **** the purists.

All this "ooh you shouldn't turbo a VTEC it isn't right" is bobbins if you ask me, as bad as the Ford boys who get shirty about people using Vauxhall engines and vice versa.

Get it done lad!

Whilst I see what your saying....

For me, the DC2 96/98 spec R out of the factory is an amazing car.... if I was spending the cash i'd try and stay N/A just because it kind of makes a bit more sense...almost like, its how it was meant to be....I'd of loved to hear that Ben was going to sort out the B20 bottom end, get it itb'd and get it sorted that way, and I kind of think that people would have appreciated that more....

Just my take :)
 
Trust me, I totally see where people are coming from WRT to keeping it N/A. I've been going backwards and forwards over the last week or so, but I keep coming back to wanting boost. Yes it goes against everything I bought an Integra for, it goes against what the ITR is about, but **** it, I have this uncontrollable need to do it :o
 
My advice in this thread is failing to conform to stereotype.

You are clearly a moron, stop tarting up a crap old Honda and buy a BMW 5 Series.
 
At the end of the day, it's your car, and you should enjoy it how you like, if that means giving it a turbo, then do it. Also makes it more interesting an unique (at least here on OcUK) as everyone running a 'teg (DC2) has a relatively normal one...I've always liked your DC2s (well the SiR and this one) as they seem to stand out a bit more than others...and boosting his one will make that even more-so. :cool: :D

And thats totally cool, and I still agree it will be great.

But it could be a 10k screamer :D

Not convinced Drexel old boy, the Integra has a pretty good power, traction, balance mix I believe and I feel adding a load of boast will corrupt that somewhat, mainly from a traction perspective, though it will of course 'travel' in a straight line. I have a friend who recently sold a 300bhp+ MK5 GTi (not quite as well sorted as an Integra) and he says it was an absolute blast but says it torque steered like a nutter even though it was stealthy fast. I think you will gain performance and loose some poise, be interesting to see how it works out.
 
I still think supercharging is the way to go with Hondas but regardless of what you do, I'm sure the car will be a hoot :)

Would do it to mine but I have a mental block with the whole FWD thing. Would really love to keep my car, SORN it, and DIY supercharge it with a vortech/JRSC kit. Would buy a second car for the commute.

Points putting me off are:

FWD obviously, and I don't have the luxury of the Integra suspension/chassis
Cost of running two cars
Storage
Cost of modifications
Niggle that I could get a very quick car for the total outlay

Personally I'd absolutely *love* a high rev'ing B20'd Integra, say about 9-9.5k limit :cool:

I adore revs though :D

I'd love a 11k S2000 engine too. Very difficult to do in both cases though.

The B20 bottom end was never designed for much more over 7k Rpm.
 
I've been in a properly quick n/asp car. CTR (K20) + Toda Stroker/cams etc etc etc.

Vtec at 4750rpm and it revved to 11,000rpm.

Quite insane.

Very "clean" power. Just felt like it had huge lungs - no silly torque surge - just massive smooth breaths of air.
 
The people saying u shouldnt mix vtec with boost are wrong, its a shed load of fun, here is the power graph from mine

http://i29.tinypic.com/5zhc1.jpg

The lower lines are low boost and the higher are high boost. It had a fair amount of lag upto 4000rpm then at 5k vtec kicked in and things got crazy.

On normal road tyres it ran 13.9 at santa pod, good times :)

edit - oops sorry its huge

edit - That's insanely big m8 lol, have just put a link there for peeps. You can alter if desired - Jedi
