Newbie with an Integra

[Integra1.8t]

Hey every1! I'm a newbie here but not to cars. My name is Thomas and I have a 96 Integra SE coupe. If you didn't know they come with the LS motor (B18b). I have a strict vision for this car and that is turbo with at least 10 pis pushing 230whp or more. I was wondering how I should go about starting this project.

I plan on either getting the GReddy turbo kit, DRAG turbo kit, or the TSI extreme kit. I plan on rebuilding the block to hold more boost definitely and after that I'm pretty much set except a few things. What size injectors would be good for a daily driver but can still hold up to lets say 10 psi? Should I go with a Hondata or a Apex SAF controller?

If you can answer any questions I'd really appreciate it. Thanks guys and I hope to have this project going ASAP.

well first off welcome to the site.

you have the right idea, you'll definitely wanna rebuild the block to run 10 psi daily driving. i've never heard of the TSI kit, but i haven't heard anything bad about the greddy or drag kits.

i'm a newb when it comes to turbo, but there's plenty of guys on here that really know their stuff so i'm sure they'll be able to offer much better advice than me. see ya around man.

"T25's are small."

Thats wut i was thinking. Aren't the T25's the 95-99 Eclipse stock turbos?

Okay, I guess I'l begin answering your questions.

First of all, your block is a GREAT block to begin w/, you are very fortunate. To reach your goal of 230ish whp on a daily driver, my suggestion is Greddy's 15g Turbo kit. They are a very inexpensive kit to get. As for injectors, I'd say 440cc, or you can pick up some DSM 450cc's from a junkyard for cheap. Then pick up an Apex'i SAFC, they're cheap and good/easy to tune. If you have the cash, then Hondata is best, but a little price for me. At 10 psi you should be putting a little over your goal, plus w/ the 15g you'll be spooling VERY fast.

Greddy is more expensive than drag for an integra.
