Man if it were me...
With the money your ganna spend on the civic (enc. Typre R engine + Turbo)
I buy a HOT gunmetal S2000, chuck on some rims and sussy.... and be a happy chappy :)
LOL
(just think of girls throwing themselves at your car) :thumbsup:
lol crxone, girls like in your avatar? if so i might have to buy an s2000. lol jk
but seriously, if i had the money, id like to turbo a civic/integra + max it out with other mods rather than buy an s2000...
just my opinion
Sorry I shouldn’t have pulled your post apart like that. But there was a fair bit of miss-information in the post.
The type R block might be a few grams lighter thanks to the P&P head job and lightweight valves. :P
Swapping parts is expensive but it’s not as expensive as buying a type R engine and your still going to have to pull the head off it to put a thicker head gasket in.
All I’m really saying that for the same capital investment you can build a more reliable and more powerful turbo engine.
Don’t take it as a personal attack I’m sure your a good bloke.
Really at the end of the day if you want turbo I think he should invest in a Nissan but if he’s obsessed with a Honda setup then this is the way to go.
non taken but it really was just missinformation because umm som reason i thought he was talking about the Type R car not an engine swap.. (does well to actually read the top post and not reading from bottom up) ^_^.. and missing the "Engine" part at the end of " Peoples thoughts on bolting a turbo onto an Integra Type-R engine"
as you can see if you missed those 2 it would cause alot of confusion when u read put a vtir block in =P..
BOO the turbo honda!!!
honda didnt invent VTEC to be ruined by boost lol thats just un-Honda VTEC style lol :p
lol wayne u obviously didnt even look at the first post where he states it is for his CIVIC ;)Quote:

wouldn't it be more interesting to make power across the band? turbo down low vtec up high?
rather than larger displacement, i think this idea should not be tossed out...
I am NA all the way, i reckon NA rules the roost, but i think on performance forum we should look to the possibilities... enough with the bleh vtec engines weren't built for this, can't turbocharge a type R cos you will ruin it...
solid arguments for no T/C - give the user something to base his decision on.
b18c's are good bases for boost but would be better to start from a vtir engine rather than type R imo coz u'd be replacing the internals anyway.
why even bother with a VTIR engine. just get a GSI.
hey dude, mysister has a turbo in her type r.. it flies... if your gona drop a typr engine in yours and turbo it.. ur in for some heart pumping rides..!!
farken noobs jumping in -_-
yes fine your sis's car would go well etc etc
but we are talking dropping an engine into a civic ok
the whole point is WHY PUT A TYPE R IN WHEN VTIR WILL DO THE EXACT SAME JOB????
if you are doing a serious swap with serious turbo you would replace the computer and all the internals anyway, so you are saving yourself some money by getting a vtir
