Pricing For ITR Turbo

[Kaden]

what the cost and what will i have to do first before i go boost...labor and parts pricing please....

[Kaden]

oh yea with a/c compatible

[IntegraXTR]

^^^ better if you just keep it all motor. Reason being is because your compression is a little higher, around 11:1 or so. Boost and high comp doesn't work as great. Thats why most people would just boost a gsr. Keep it all motor man, no need to break the motor down for all that work.

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

If I had an itr and wanted boost, I'd supercharge it. My personal preference though...

[mocha latte cupcake]

supercharger ftw..... turbo build ftl

[Black R]

my itr is turbo and it's fine. i know plenty of other itr owners who have been running turbo for years now the same as i am with no problems.

honestly, you'll be better off posting this on h-t or just searching there.

i'm not going to regurgitate information for you that is readily accessible through google.

[Kaden]

preciate the help and idea...

[Black R]

just replying to your pm here so others can benefit:

my itr motor is BONE STOCK.

i have a greddy 18g kit running 10psi all day long.

the kit has been on the car for over two years and i don't know how many thousands of miles.

it was tuned by scttydb411 and i've been very pleased with it.

just about everyone i know with this setup or similar makes anywhere between 270-350whp, so it's all about the tuning.

I see...so what was the cost and getting it tuned...and i be happy with a 350 whp daily driver

[Black R]

cost is whatever you can get it for. in a sense, you get what you pay for.

you can find deals online or buy used parts and piece a kit together from stuff in the classifieds. you can spend as little as $1k or as much at $5k-$6k.....

kaden, read a little closer to what he wrote, greddy 18g (b18 motors) turbo kit, This is a street legal turbo kit, won't make as much power as garret, precision, etc. I know, I've ran a greddy kit before. If you want a real build, then you will need to break down the motor and rebuild for boost, unless you're planning to stay around 7-10psi daily making shit power and my little eg comes around and spanks you with all motor.

Why search honda-tech, I can tell you right now. Boosting a ITR motor is mostly pointless because its already built w/higher compression, thats why people would prefer to just boost a b18c1 due to its compression 10:1 or so. Second, black R setup ran for 2 years but doesn't means yours will, why? because HIGH COMP AND BOOST don't mix, I have plenty of experience, I've helped boost nang's car on here, azianhustla, and more. With this kit, 7-10psi and tuning will be fine for daily I believe but no where near the power you wanna make. You could just run JUN 3's, BC Spec 3+, Skunk2 PRO's and run the same plus reliability. These will put you over 200whp with good tuning and that would be enough to run boosted cars. How do I know this? Ask DYNO, Jay's brother (yellow s2k), dyno was running jun3's in his 4dr teg and was killing boosted cars on the street. Mr. Kidd that works at batlground can vouch for dyno's car. If you know what I'm talkin about, then you know his 4dr.

[SPOOLIN]

18g is the size of the turbo, not the kit number.

[Vteckidd]

Dyno's 4 door was SICK i remember that car, i miss it.

Boosting a type-R is fine, as long as you do it RIGHT.

350whp on a bone stock motor isnt reliable. 250whp-275whp is about the limit.

Second, black R setup ran for 2 years but doesn't means yours will, why? .

So you rather listen too someone who has never boosted a type R motor, ask AnotheRRR his stock motor was boosted for 2 years making well over 350hp, with ac and heat and all. Stock type r motor have been boosted alot of times and made great power.
I would listen too someone who has done and owns a type R motor,over someone that is taking infor based off the internet.

Shit i would turbo the stock motor and if it blows then rebuild it,why just go tear down a good motor becasue you taking advice from someone!!
Thats just my point!!!

Here you can see for your self what people have made on stock blocks

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Just go make a thread in the ITR section on Honda-Tech and see what people have to say about it.

They probably know alot of friends personally and online that have been boosted before.

[IntegraXTR]

yeh man, thanks for pointing out the obvious. I rather piece together a kit than buy a greddy.

thanks for your input but that was a waste of a post.

I said that because black R told him to go do research instead of helping him out. I believe thats why they have these forums on this board so that members can help each other out instead of just saying "go google it." I'm also explaining to him the obvious, tell me people wouldn't rather go get a b18c1 longblock and boost it instead of boosting an ITR (not saying no one does it).

[Formally...]

Kaden, PM sent with info you were looking for.

As far as Black R telling him to go research, I agree with that. I know these forums are here to help people and we should not tell them to go elsewhere but when it comes to topics like this there is lots more info avalible. In this thread there is one person telling him to boost the motor he already has and another telling him to go buy a different motor and then boost it. Only two opinions here and hundreds on H-T. More info equals better decisions.

Finally, yes he can go all motor, but honestly the price will be close to the same once you factor everything needed to make over 200whp all motor, (cams, springs, retainers, header, exhaust, tuning, injectors, etc.)

[SpooL'DGsR]

GOOD ANSWER SIR !!!

[teglover85]

hey nainstream can you send me that info i got a turbo i am going to put on my gsr and it has type r pistons since i rebuild it it was the same price for stock type r than gsr pistons with a little more compresion and now that i want to turbo and get 300 hp to the wheels i dont know if is safe i am going to rebuild anyways so might as well injoy and get used to the power. i am triying to research more
