Integra Type-R Discussion - Discuss general ITR information, technical information (including requests for technical/mechanical help/assistance), modifications, tuning, etc.
my itr is stock all except for a (toda header) an (omni power testpipe) and a (dc cat-back exhaust). I know I'll have to take off my so sweet toda header . But could my car handle that turbo at like 6-8psi as long as I got like 760cc injectors?
I think it's a bit big to just get that little PSI out of, meaning for the spool time of that size turbo I think you would be much better off getting a smaller turbo that will spool faster and just hold peak boost until redline (instead of building peak boost at 4500+ RPM). That's just my opinion though...I could be wrong.
your car can handle the turbo with some good tuning and low boost but like Sprockett said it is a pretty big turbo for such little psi. i run the GT30R on my car, i love it. but im running 17-18 psi on pump gas and 23psi on race gas. maybe look into something a little smaller, like a T28 or even a GT28RS.

11.61@130mph(BFG drag radials)
471hp 313tq(pump gas)
Thanks for the advice. 1320blitz are you running an itr motor? and if so do you have block and headwork done? Maybey the GT28RS would be a good route. Is is dual ball berring as well? My thing is I want to build a road course car for places such as Road Atlanta and VIR. right now I dont have $$$ for getting my heads ported, three angle valve job or anything of that nature. But when x-mas rolls around i sould have enough for a full kit for the GT30R

im still useing my orginial B18C5 but i have a golden eagle sleeved block(83mm), arias pistons, and eagle rods. the head,cams,intake,valves,throttle body are all stock. my turbo is also duel BB. we used a GT28RS on a nissan 240 which i personally think would be an excellent turbo for a road coarse car or even a GT2871, which is one step lower than a GT30R.The effiency range for the GT30R is at about 23psi, at that boost level i made 517hp and 351tq. at that power level hooking up on 0 treadwear drag radials doent happen till the top of third gear or 4th(depending what kind of pavement i was on). my car is more set up for drag than roadcoarse.

Well after hours of research and comments on the form I have decided to go the all-motor route for my Type R. But Im am going to get a project car for christmas instead. An EG6 with a GRS motor swap. Plans are as follows: Full Race GT30R Turbo Kit, Crower Stage 2 Turbo FI cams, TODA Cam Gears, TODA Timing Belt, Crower Rods, Wiseco B-Series Low Compression Forged Pistons 8.9:1, 1mm TODA Head Gasket, Edelbrock Victor-X Intake Manifold, Big Bore Throttle Body 72mm, a good fuel pump and regulartor (haven't decided what yet), NO CAT GT World Spec Exhaust, AEM Tru Power Pulleys, Port and Polish, 3 angle valve job, sleeved block, Quaife A.T.B. LSD, and an AEM EMS.
yeah baby!
