Motor or Boost

[Its Shupe]

wondering if i should boost my 98 spec type r or run all motor..
what do you guys think will be better in the long run boost or all motor..

[RHDDonnieee]

long run = all motor

turbo= alot of fun

[atrsikeg]

ya donnie is right build that shit all motor then when your bored of that turbo it hahahaha

[Stealthy]

Boost is hella fun, but hard to be reliable in a Honda, in most cases (cause people don't get tuned, or beat the shit out of 'em)..

[Neebs]

N/a.

all motor last longer but turbo is so simple dump all your money in to a motor run 12's take a stock ls run it on 10 pounds tuned with a safc be just as fast. i think turbo is the shit now and it will last long if you do it right dont be dumb and run too many pounds get you block built and tune it. will be just fine my friends stock ls tuned with his vafc always runs fine boosted at 8 pounds. turn it down when your driving

build all motor with me shupe more reliable and your car is already high compression...i am gonna start buying my internal shit next week:)

just do it with me buddy it will be sick...that way your type r will last:thumbup:

[Lilrob]

itll last if its done right

[BBSick]

It's a ITR with crazy compression, would be waste to boost that. All motor man that's what that motor was intended for, if you want boost get a GSR!

[Its Shupe]

of course when i get the turbo kit im going to get it installed right and tuned and im only going to run 7 pounds.. plus i odont get on it all the time so i think im leaning towards boost and if worst comes to worst ill take it off and build all motor or something

i know it has crazy compression but i could always lower it

[Wholesaler]

Done a few boosted cars with stock itr motors, very responsive and fun to drive.

everyone always says reliability is an issue with turbos. I just dont see why. Do it once, do it right.

x2 and so what if its an itr you can get low compression pistons for it rods and new ceramic rings dont even really have to sleeve it get a block guard and it should hold somwhere around 18 or more pounds im pretty sure. stock internals are supposed to hold 14 lbs get a single layer metal heag gassket make sure block and head are flat arp studs boost it at 8 lbs all day it will hold.

[Wholesaler]

And how many turbo setups or boosted cars have you done?

[2.0eg-si]

this ishis first one...he's got the money he can build his motor so i say he does boost...

i think hes talking about me.
and i havent built many really but ive been around a lot of my friends and ther boosted cars and from all that they say and i hear im saying on here cause it seems to work for them and have built more cars then i could count. but i have only turboed my crx personally and then just helped other people with their cars

[2.0eg-si]

i had a stock b16 on 5 lbs ebay turbo and it ran great but i traded my kit for body work on my car and now my car will be is300 silver

yeah and they are supposed to hold 14 lbs on stock internals once i finish my block i will run at 8 or 10 around there

[SteadyBoostin]

i agree nike

[Lilrob]

if u boosted it how much boost would u run?

[Its Shupe]

if u boosted it how much boost would u run?

well ill run 7 because im on a stock motor after i lower compression ill do 10 or 15 15 is the highest ill go no matter what

[nbdracin]

motor

[BBSick]

Boost if on 7 tuned, 10 at the most with a thick head gasket, but don't lower the compression, it's a waste of the itr motor, you paid for the high compression over the gsr and now you are lowering it basically throwing money away you know?!?!

ya true so i should just get it tuned and run like 8 or 10 at the most???

[cEx00]

yo bro...all motor

i'm gettin a GSR here in about a few months and i'm plannin on going N/A.....

[cEx00]

like homeboy siad...untill you get bored with it than go boost......can't loose either way

[Agent Smith]

[SlowLS]

ya donnie is right build that shit all motor then when your bored of that turbo it hahahaha

BOOST!!
buddy of mine made 280whp on 5.5 psi, AFI kit t3/t4 60trim, very fun car

[Pendulum]

If you have the money, those ITR's sure are nice with an ITB setup. Then again, I can't resist the sound of a BOV.

I'd boost it, very conservatively. And when you get it tuned, don't let Jose around the corner do it with his homeboys laptop.

Take it to a pro, and a dyno. Joe @ Locash is where I'll be getting my car tuned when it's time.

[Its Shupe]

thanks everyone for the help but i went boost all most done ill post some pics when i get it finished :grin:

[bj9]

[EGHatchSC]
