[Integra4200]

no.

if u want to go FI (forced induction IE: Turbo/Supercharged) then u'd want to jus keep the stock b18b1 motor found in the ls, and turbo that.

its by far a more ideal motor for turbo than the b18c5 (stock vs stock atleast).

[Integra4200]

Oh I see. why wouldnt i want to turbo a type-r engine?

[91LSspecial]

alright you wouldnt want to turbo a type-R because the compretion ratio is already too high, it something like 11.1 or around there, and an LS is like 9.8, and a turbo increases the compression ration as it spools and fources more air in, so an LS would be more ideal, along withthe Transmission on an LS is perfect for turbos. but i dont know about how long that setup would last, i would just get a type-R swap and leave it at that

i had a friend with a turbo'd LS and it kick the shit out of a M5, type-R, and a cobra. but he blew the engine after six months, then overdid it and got a fully built b20 block and boosted like 23lbs. and blew the engine the same night he got it back. just make sure you geat some kind of big brake conversion cause your going to need to stop that beast.

[Integra4200]

Oh I see. So if the only LS integra i can get has a lot of miles on it should I put a new B18b1 in it and turbo that?

[Integra4200]

Also can some one tell me if a nitrous kit would be a good idea for a ls turbo integra?

[Spectre927]

I think KrNx has said before its ok to use nitrous in a type r(or was it GSR), if you just want that. You could do that, and turn your engine into a big pile of melted metal. If the engine is built, then you can, other wise, somethings bound to give. Depending on what your using of course. An LSVTEC is what, like 165 to the wheels?, plus a turbo with intercooler, 270-280? Then another 60 shot. 340? Watch out.

[Spectre927]

Nitrous is also good for the Intercooler, and doesnt it reduce turbo lag?

[Integra4200]

k so could i put a turbo on a ls engine and put nitrous on that?
