Hay guys. What do you guys think is the best turbo kit for a type r swap. I have theswap and holy crap did that make a big differance. However it is a 1999 si that i have and want to tubo it. What do you think is the best turbo kit for best quality and performance. I want to install it myself as i am a ech and did the swap myself. It was fun and a cool job. So i want to do the turbo setup myself also. So any info would be gret. Thanks

he says stay N/A because the type R has high compression. high comp= not the best for a turbo. the type R is a great motor for N/A but the high compression just sucks for boost
have i ever met you btw? car looks familiar. i met some guy with a car like that kinda late one night at a denny's up in IL i had my civic and my buddy was there too with a mustang

Hay man no i don't beieve so. I have only had the car for like three months at most. Where are you from? Also what could i expect from a full blown N/A motor. The motor alone in the car now made such a differance. I can't believe it, but i did use all good other stuff. Could i see a three hundred horse or close N/A car?

you could hit 300hp going N/A with a type r. get the right s**t for the engine and tune...
that is correct.
but since youre set on turbo. find a turbo that will support the hp you want. GT28. quick spooling and capable of up to 360-400hp. then find supporting mods. look for equal length turbo manifold, top mount of bottom mount, find a fmic that can support that much hp. ....
you know what. theres so mnay threads about turbos. search.

I am not set on turbo. I just want around 300 horse. I have always wanted a turbo but. If that is not what is best, maybe i should not turbo it. That is why i am asking. I don't know and if ou search you can;t find s**t about putting a turbo on a type r.

yea ....you should upgrade your rods and pistons....but look for a compression ration of 9:1

So really if i changed my pistons and rods, Really i can boost the b18. I just need to lower the compression ratio. So really i could do just pistons to lower compression. But while i am there i should just do the damn rods also. But if i did this it would be dependable to run say around 275-300 horse on stock sleaves? Also to do that stuff, What rods and piston should i get? I have heard of a few but not sure what is the best. Eagle, Wiseco, Je and so on. What do you guys think for good rods, and pistons? Thanks

yeah but if you're going to lower the compression, buying a type r engine is waste. anyways, yeah you should do the rods too. you mine as well if you're gonna do the pistons. and those three you named are pretty good brands.

Alright cool. Yea i have the type r already. I did it cause my sotck b16a2 has a few miles on it. Runs very good but i wanted more. So i just am looking for the future. I think i will want more next year. So i thought a turbo would be allot of fun. Do you guys think a full race turbo kit is good stuff?

Supercharging, while possibly cheaper, will yield less power and and is still prone to detonation with the high compression ratio. He's better off staying NA or changing pistons and going turbo.
Yes, but you limit yourself on how much power you can run. Boost would come on quicker and you'd have a better mid range with a higher compression FI car, but you greatly increase the risk of detonation and destroying a piston. You'd either have to back off on power quite a bit to keep a safe tune, or run right on the edge of safe. You get a bad batch of gas or the air isn't right and you get some detonation.

Yea i want a good running car. I don't want detonation or any of tht crp. I will just lower the compression and do a mild turbo setup. And i will tune the hell out of it. I just want it to be quick. and run good. And still get 59 miles to the gallon. LOL

lowering the compression is probly the best way to go. esp if you want to up the boost and run in the area of 400 hp or so - your will already have the bottom end to support it. N/a will more than likely have shitty gas mileage at 300 hp and you can have good gas mileage with a turbo if you keep your foot out of it. Dollar for Dollar turbo will yield more potential and more power
