my friends got a 95 integra with a gsr swap(b18c1) and we bought a cheap ssac kit for it....we want to run around 300 hp on the stock motor......i was thinking 550cc rc injectors? and i was wondering if 2.5" downpipe and exhaust would work on the car? he doesnt want it to loud and the downpipe that comes with it is 2.5"
gsr turbo

2.5" will be fine for 300whp.
Why? It will slightly slow spool and take a few more psi to get to 300whp but it ain't that big a deal as long as you don't have a cat.i wouldnt recommend it
shiz you thinkin a 3 inch piping all the way down? thats what i would suggest
huh? what are you talking about?the back pressure that will result can cause detonation
X2huh? what are you talking about?
Shiznit, I'm not calling you out or anything but it would be fine for 2.5". True, a full 3" will be better and will be what I will soon have, but it won't hurt the motor.

the build up of heat from back pressure can cause detonation. maybe 2.5" is wide enough to keep it at bay, but its not something that i would want to find out.huh? what are you talking about?
the heat would be kept in the exhaust/turbo. flow exiting the cylinder head isnt going to back up into it and cause detonation.the build up of heat from back pressure can cause detonation. maybe 2.5" is wide enough to keep it at bay, but its not something that i would want to find out.
i can guarantee that if you hooked up an EGT gauge on a properly tuned 2.5" setup vs a properly tuned 3" setup, there would be no difference at all.
s**t i ran 2.25" exhaust at 12psi on my first setup for almost a year, including 110+ degree summer heat, and never once had detonation. i even pulled the head off to swap to ARPs and a Cometic and the pistons looked mint
u can easily make 300whp wit a stock gsr but hopefully the manifold doesnt crack cuz everyone i no has ssautocrap and it cracked on them
if ur staying in the 2 inch range atleast go 2 and a half/quarter and i can gurantee once you see what 2 and a quarter looks like your gonna wish you had a 3 inch... i got a 3 inch and i wish it were bigger for my setup...
but if the kits got it hell why not use it if its already there...
and (whitecoupe) why dont you get off dudes nuts and stop TRYING to act like you know what your talking about cuz dude ur clueless...

Oh ya and that s**t will crack on you... gurantee it...
keeping a little bit of heat in the exhaust isn't a bad thing. it actually helps. with larger exhaust systems the air coming out of the turbo cools more quickly and then slows down, while it has a bigger diameter it doesn't flow any more than a smaller exhaust system that's keeping the air hot.
my suggestion: keep the 2.5" DP. if you feel like running 3" after that go ahead, but packaging that is going to be hard, and not worth much over a 2.5"

make a brace, and it will lessen the chance of cracking
ill keep my ssac comments to myself, but otherwise. a 2.5" exhaust wont be a problem at all. as long as you get a proper professional tune.
also 550cc injectors will work great

yea the ssac kit is just an expierment i already told him the manifold will either crack or the turbo will blow seals.....he said once that happens he'll just buy a new turbo or manifold......i wanna see how SSAC will hold up IMO i see everyone talking s**t on it....well we'll see how it really is......i think hes getting the same turbo as greens got....the 50/63?
another question......we live in a small town in missouri and theirs not any dyno's around here probably until Kansas City.....is their anywhere we can order a ALREADY TUNED ecu for his gsr....or maybe a basemap?
