Boosting a ITR??????

[Professor X]

Sean,
I'm not sure what motor Virgil is talking about, but as Vteckidd has stated, the Type-R actually has more boost-friendly components than the other b-series motors.
If you look at Nissan and Toyota stock turbo setups, you will see that they use low-comp to reduce pre-ignition. This is because it's a stock setup designed to run 1,000,000 miles without warranty issues.
Now, consider a Honda with higher compression. This just means that the tune has to be more precise, to prevent pre-ignition. Add larger injectors, a fuel pump, add an EMS that can control valve timing, ignition timing, and tune an engine that was designed to work without the assistance of a turbo.
The problem with Honda's and turbos is that most people spend too much on the turbo setup and have nothing left to tune. I can speak from personal experience on this. I was a victim.
I was speaking with the owner of Tiger Racing one day and he made it simple for me. He said how people will spend $3,000 on a motor and $3,000 on a turbo setup and then want to control it all with a $150 VAFC. That doesn't make much sense does it?
It isn't the B18c5 at fault, it's the TUNE!
Repeat after me, TUNING IS YOUR FRIEND!!!
HTH!

this man speaks the truth.

And no offense Sean, but "i busted this guys ass with my b16" doesnt mean jack shit to me. I beat STIs and EVOs all day long with my all motor CRX. I beat turbo K series hondas, i beat sr20 swapped 240s.

who cares, on the street its all about gearing and mph. especially from a roll.

Its all about chassis wieght, and traction,

Show me full DYNO numbers from both cars, and where peak HP was made and what the midrange was, then ill care.

You cant say a TURBO ITR sucks cause you beat one on one occasion. hell, I beat tons of sr20 powered 240sx's. does that mean all SR20s suck cause i "busted their ass?" NO, ask silviadrftr, i wouldnt touch his car, runs 11.7s , its a SR20 with mild mods.

EDIT: I "heart" windsor
