Drag Gen III's are street legal aren't they xodus?

the beauty of VTEC lies in its engineering for NA performance

turbo'ing a VTEC engine is almost as big of a sin to me as drag racing an ITR (or any honda for that matter)

ImportNut1212 · #18 03-13-2002, 05:57 PM

but wouldn't turboing the engine improve its performance, and therefore improve the vtec? i dont see how its a sin.....

not a complete list.... got with it: turbonetics t3/t4e turbo, drag intercooler, turbonetics deltagate/wastegate, hks bov, cast iron exhaust manifold, all necessary piping for intercooler intake, vortech fmu, drag fuel pump, plus the extras I listed above... if ya wanna check out the ride visit www.importfuzion.com... click under members

I'm not bashing or anything, but thats not how vtec works. you have 2 cams, intake and exhaust. They always go proportional with the crank and dont change speed relative to the crank. When the rpm is high enough, hydraulic pressure builds up enough to activate an arm that locks the 2 intake or exhaust valves together and they both utilize a different cam lobe set for higher rpms so they get more air/fuel into the combustion chamber. Just didnt want people to get the wrong info on vtec..

thanx for the clarification... i wasn't sure if I was right, no offense taken :

ps. casper, how did the turbo install go for the 2000, was there any problems with fitting, becuase the 2000-2001 gs-r's have a different exhaust setup (manifold, cat b-pipe) then from a 94-99

ran into some problems with it actually... the down pipe leading into the cat converter was not shaped correctly so some cutting and welding had to be down along with welding on a flange for it to attach to the cat... also had some issues with the cooling fan being very close to the turbo and intercooler, we had to cut back the shroud on the fan and actually trim back the edges of the fan so it wouldn't be so close to the turbo cause when that thing starts spooling up enough and the intercooler is working hard the fan would melt if it was too close. Only other issue is that the piping for the air filter isn't shaped as well as it could be so we're custom bending some piping to fit the air filter in better then it is right now... just like any afer market part there are always bumps in the road, definately was worth it though.

about how much would it cost me to get my rs converted to vtec?

SleeperTeg · #23 03-13-2002, 08:47 PM

depends on how much you get your head and ECU for....prolly around 2.5-4K

xodus917 · #24 03-13-2002, 09:04 PM

thats for the input caser

impotnut, i'm not sure if the drag kit is street legal, i'm only sure that the greddy kit is.(it carries a carb number)

ImportNut1212 · #25 03-13-2002, 09:25 PM

DOes anyone know if they are legal? with carb # and all?

97teg · #26 03-13-2002, 09:34 PM

i'm pretty sure drag turbos are not street legal. i remember reading a post about how with a drag turbo kit you cant pass emissions. so i'm guessing that would make it not legal for street use.

Most certainly will NOT pass emmissions....

that's why I slapped it on a week or two after i went through emmissions

... at least I have two years now until I have to worry about emmissions... another thing that prevents it from being street legal is the external wastegate because unless you route it into the exhaust it opens up in the engine bay and lets exhaust fumes directly into the atmosphere... even if you did route it back to the exhaust it still wouldn't pass emmissions though so to answer your question: NO not street legal

ImportNut1212 · #28 03-13-2002, 10:55 PM

ahhh crap

i dont relaly wanna deal with the emissions, so i guess its greddy or some other company. any suggestions?

casperGSR · #29 03-13-2002, 10:57 PM

the only street legal turbo kit for an integra that I know of is the greddy kit... you can look around and ask people but that's the only one that I'm aware of. good luck.

xodus917 · #30 03-14-2002, 01:22 AM

anyone know if the greddy kit would still be street legal if you upped the boost to about 14-15 psi (about all pump gas can handle). With engine buildup of coarse, ie, pistons rods, darton ductile cylinder sleeves and all.?
