I was wondering why do most people not have the bolt on turbos on their integras, is it because its too expensive, too skeptical, will void the warranty? Why do people not get the turbo, assuming they did have the money for it.

 

I don't have one because my car is still under warranty. Also, I want to make sure my car is reliable and don't wanna risk it beibg in the shop because of a problem caused by a turbo.

 

its all in peoples tastes and preferences. those that crave speed and boost will get turbo. those who want to preserve their engine stay non-F/I.

once i get the moolah im going turbo.

 

honda's aren't really turbo motors any way. to make it reliable you have to do alot more work to run descent boost. me myself am going to see how fast i can go all motor until i have enough money for a rev hard turbo kit. but yeah its basically peoples preferences

 

I dunno... Turbos are nice and all, but don't really do it for me. What I'd rather do, pending I sell a kidney or something, would be to rebuild and resleave my enigine out 2.0L, tune it up a bit, and slap a supercharger on ther. I'm sure that'll give me the torque I crave

But I don't think I'll do that cause I have no urge to go quite that fast... or at least any daily-driving urge

 

I kinda like the more beefed up Engine internals.. but I also love the TC, and SC

 

Because I drive a Type R. The motor just wasn't built with that in mind. People still do it, and get GREAT results, but it's not for me.

N/A :thumbup:

edit: Also, if you think you're 'saving wear' on the motor by going N/A and revving to 8K+ all the time, think again But we all knew that, right?

 

newbie question and lets laugh first

whats N/A?

 

Naturally aspirated. (non-turbo, non-supercharged, and for all intents and purposes non-nitrous)

I personally won't put a turbo on my teg, because it is a front wheel drive car. I'm going to try not to spend too much money on it so I can save for an M3. Why would you not?

 

I was exactly thinking that, if I spend 3000 grad for a turbo i might as well trade this car in put 3000 down and get something fast out of factory. So im just gonna go ahead and change very little if anything at all. Maybe just lower it and change the exhaust and header. Not sure about the header either.
