ok im planning on going the route of the turbo in the future whenever i buy a new LS longblock. my question to you turbo gurus is, how much boost can i run with this setup:

18g DSM turbo
450cc injectors
255lph walbro
adjustable fuel pressure regulator by B&M
AEM fuel rail
all proper plumbing for IC and turbo

oh and what kind of FMU should i run? i have no clue on turbos so im asking you to please go easy on me :happysad: if theres anything else i would need for a setup on stock internals please add it to the list and/or modify it as needed.

with this setup, would it be ok to use an OEM equivalent clutch/flywheel combo or to use a heavy duty clutch and 12 pound flywheel?

thanks guys, Poonani.

 

10-12psi on a good tune, you can get by using an oem clutch, but id suggest something that can take the punishment that way it doesnt become a problem in the future. As for flywheels, stock is fine, just get it resurfaced while it is out of the car.

aem fuel rail isnt necessary, if you dont already have it, dont bother getting it.

edit: forgot to factor in FMU, if you are using an FMU... I would not go over 8psi. Pick up an uberdata kit and use that.

 

I agree 100%. With some sort of fuel management like Crome or Hondata, you can easily run 10-12 psi on stock internals. You won't need the fuel rail or fpr at this point, just the pump and injectors will work. I would keep the stock flywheel, but upgrade the clutch.

 

how much would the most user friendly fuel management unit cost?

also, how can i go about routing the intercooler piping through to the front end? does anyone know if theres an intercooler piping kit for an integra?

also, would i have to ditch my A/C?

 

Hondata is pretty user friendly, but you pay for the convenience.

There are intercooler piping kits, but if you can have it custom made, it will save some money. You will have to route it out the splash guard, through the front bumper and then up back into the engine bay.

Retaining your A/C depends on the downpipe. If your downpipe exits on the drivers side, more than likely, you will have to give up A/C.
