Im Stuck

read entire post please!

OK WELL HERE IS THE DEAL I HAVE (damn caps lock) i have a 92 integra GS automatic with ebay intake, and tanabe racing medallion exhaust.

what would you do for $3500-$4000 all performance wise not bling bling no rims nadda. PERFORMANCE!

ive been thinking of getting a turbo kit i could get a deal for 2500 on an f-max kit. ( :wink: )

and i also have someone that could do a auto-manual swap with all parts plus exedy clutch b&m short shifter and eurathane shifter bushings and a knob for $880.

what would you guys do.

get the turbo installed, or do it yourself, tell him to throw in a lightened chromoly flywheel for a little more dough then upgrade your suspension, youll have a heck of a fun ride after that

id say do the swap first...nothin is more boring than an auto

sell your car for like $1,500 and put that with your money saved up so that puts you at like $6000 or so. buy a 94-97 ls with not to many miles on it for like 5,000 or so then youl have $1,000 left. put the 1,000 in the bank and let it add up for a while($3,000 or so) till you can afford a turbo
you'll have less miles on your car you wont be converting to manual and wasting your money and they look way better. just my opinion though.

keeping the G2 sorry. and ive thought about that doing the swap and all but how is that kit on 8psi anyone got power specs. and how does the engine handle that kit. and the auto is a lot more fun than you think and its predictable at the track.

I would get the Turbo, but not the $2,500. Get an upgraded one if you have the ammount you say you have. Go for a ball bearing turbo. It will spool up faster and perform better. I know Drag has a turbo kit for your car that will support like 450 Hp and it's only like $2,900 or so.. Look around see what you can find.

Do the turbo and the swap if possible, also maybe something other than the exedy clutch though. ACT and Cluthnet both make excellent clutch kits. ;)

the turbo is a ball bearing turbo. single side ball bearing i believe.

ok well do you think my torque converter could handle the kit its rated to 200hp. what do you think i would get on 8psi with this kit?

Yea I think your torque converter would handle it but you should be prepared for longer turbo lag with the auto tranny. If it was me I would do the manual swap first, that will make a huge difference.

yeah im considering it but i think the kit for now would suffice then do the a-m at a later time.

hey jamie, i think a poll would have help u a bit more. heres the website for the fmax (turbonetics) kit http://www.turboneticsinc.com/tsystems.html. it tells u how much power gains at 8 psi for your gs.

and guys this is no crummy kit, this kit retail from 3800-4900. it is better than drag, greddy, and rev hard. why? it's a fully complete kit, includes a t3/t4 ball bearing turbo, carbon cast-steel manifold, msd fuel/timing controller, and many other high quality parts. for 2500 this is the best bargain u can get, thats why im getting one also :icon16: .

i would but im getting ready to see if i get the loan im going for the kit and auto-manual swap
