Anyone: Has anyone installed a turbocharger on a Generation 3 (94-01) Integra? Did you have a good experience or was it more trouble or less effective than its worth (cost to purchase)? Troy >> Stay informed about: Integra GS-R Turbo

Do you have any idea how common turbos and superchargers are for Hondas? It's really the most cost effective way to make power, after Nos and way cheaper than bolt-on mods dollar/HP. -- <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://haywire.csuhayward.edu/~jwells2" target="_blank">http://haywire.csuhayward.edu/~jwells2</a><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Integra GS-R Turbo

Some turbo installs ARE bolt-ons(DIY),and some aren't. When you get into changing pistons/rods/heads and internal mechanicals,the costs and trouble go way up.And requires more skills and perhaps specialized tools. A good guide is the more power,the greater the complexity/difficulty,and cost.The question is;how much and how far is the OP willing to go? Both in terms of desired power,effort,and cost. Obviously,the OP has not done his research,and instead is looking for opinion on this NG. Not too wise. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net >> Stay informed about: Integra GS-R Turbo

People turbocharge integra gs-r's all the time. If you are wanting to put any more than 9psi then i would get a larger head gasket to lower the compression a little.
