ok, lets say i was going to get rid of my b18a1 because of the miles, and get a b18b or c. Then lets say turbo it. cool. How much would i expect to spend on internals for the motor to safely get a 150-200hp turbo on the car? How much have some of you guys spent on turbo aplications, excluding labor if you didnt do it yourself? Im just curious, once in a while i will get offered turbos and intercoolers by friends. But now im in a situation where i can spend some money on the car. So i want to see where this takes me. I already know if i do this, im going to need the kit, the motor, internals and a new clutch. maybe just the motor and kit if i keep the boost low. i dont know.
and also at top end my gears grind, if im racing or something. Should i have the transmission looked at? Maybe its the clutch or something? its fine under normal driving conditions, the transmission is firm when changing gears, not very accurate sometimes. I attribute that to worn shifter bushings maybe? I dont know much about manual transmissions. speaking of transmissions, are there other transmissions that would be a little bit better for racing/hardcore driving? Maybe a gsr transmission? will those hook onto an ls motor? i got a 90 integra ls, mated to the stock b18a1 231k.
