Boosting a ITR??????

[Professor X]

Please tel me why? im interested to hear your reasons

I am also interested in hearing this. I can't think of how this would be the worst motor to boost when it's the best B-series motor produced. However, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on your statement.

so how hard would it be to drop 13:1 compression down to a low enough level to run a turbo? im considering doing this on my ls/vtec.

Who's running 13:1?

Who's running 13:1?

my little hatch.any suggestions?

13:1 on an LS/VTEC? What internals you running? Is this with a B16 head?

i belive its a b16 head and it was decked and it has itr pistons,arp rod bolts and studs,itr cams valves and springs and the list goes on. so how can i drop the compression?

the cheapest & easiest way is a thicker head gasket...i think HKS makes a 2.6mm but it's pricey. The most reliable way would be switch out the ITR pistons.

Professor ask Virgil you know as good as i do i was gonna buy a hatch with boosted type r and he explain about an hour worth of talking to me why not to get it and why the motor wasnt good on boost.

anyone who said that is a MORON. A type R is actually better to boost, it has strong ringlands, LSD, decent compression (10.6) which is good for low boost. (10lbs)

Its got better cams for boost (ITR which is what most poeple run)

For a stock motor, its fine to boost, as LONG AS ITS DONE RIGHT. you slap a turbo kit on with 10lbs, and its gonna blow if you dont TUNE IT.

Fuck ask Alfonso in UNDER PRESSURES forum he had a ITR with a thick headgasket and a turbo kit running 12s i belive, in a HEAVY ass DC2 chassi

alphonso running 12s? hahaha! Try almost in the 10s..He ran 11.0@133 at montgomery.

NO im talking about him running 12s with JUST a thicker HEADGASKET. not on his 500WHP+motor. which NEGATES this whole arguemnt, cause its no longer a TYPE-R stock motor, its a sleeved and built Low compression motor. we are talking about a stock ITR motor with stock compression, or stock internals

but nice try Ford boy :P
