Integra LS, 8psi

[loesch8102]

Would an Integra LS with a turbo with 8psi be roughly as fast as an S2000?

I don't think 8psi would make that much difference in the amount of ponies. That's not enough psi do make a big amount of difference in any car.

[streetrcr45]

how much psi would u need to run in that car if u wanted to make an actual difference in speed?

[90gs]

8psi will do at LEAST 50hp... isnt it like 8hp per psi?

[99civic03]

Ive heard anywhere from 8-10hp per psi.

hey if 8psi gets your roughly 50whp... thats alot of fricken hp... you figure if youve got around 140 to begin with... thats a 35%increase... and with 1 mod... granted a turbo is not a simple task but damn... 35% increase should make anyone happy. you figure between cai/h/e youll spend roughly a grand for semi-good stuff. and get what 10whp outa of it. or you could spend 3500 run 10psi and get 70hp outa a turbo kit.

With 8 PSI he should have roughly 200-225 WHP depending on other mods. You can run 12 PSI on stock internals, and make 250+WHP

Saying a certain HP per pound of boost isn't accurate at all. It all depends on a lot of things. Mostly it's how much power the engine makes in the first place without boost. 8 PSI on this engine should be about 1.5 times it's stock power, which would be 210 HP. But hopefully, he will upgrade the exhaust and maybe other small things which will help a lot and make 200 WHP easily.

hello i have a 93 integra with a b18a1 motor and i plan to turbo charge it during the winter and have been reading and researching and everything is fittin into place but one flaw is that the intercooler seems to big and the steering pump is in the way so i plan to remove that but the radiator seems like its too big too and i just dont know what to do im thinkin i have to replace it and get a smaller and less space takin one, but i just dont know, theres these springs and cables in front of it towards the bottom im wondering if i got rid of those it would fit just fine but i dont know if thats safe? i need some help please right back it would be much help too!
