Got a question on JDM Integras

[10sec-Hopeful]

Well, I was chillin with my buddy yesterday, and recently he has gotten into Integras pretty bad. I used to have one, but sold it because I needed the cash. Anyway, he was talkin with a kid, and this guy knows TONS about Honda/Acura cars, mainly CRXs and Hatches...but he told my buddy that most (I'm assuming most is 80%) of the Integras in Japan are all motor. Now, around where I'm from, I've seen my fair share of turboed Integras, and I always believed that most people like to turbo their Integras.

So I was wondering, is it just the JDM that usually go all motor, or is it all of them?

BTW - They were talking about Type Rs in specific, but GS-R and LS came up in the conversation.

I told my buddy that I know this guy knows his shit, but I was pretty sure he was dead wrong, and that most people would rather turbo their 'tegs, or they already do it. I haven't seen many Integras over 350HP that are all motor running 13s, but I have seen probably 4-5 turboed ones running mid 12s.

Anyone got a clue?

this post seems very ambiguous to me... but if your friend was talking about ITR (type r's) then yeah, most ITR's either USDM or JDM will more than likely be all motor, just because the b18c5 is a great N/A engine. the GSR motor is very similar.

now the ls, on the otherhand, is a great engine to boost. the low compression makes it very "boostable"

350hp is a near impossible feat for a N/A integra. and they would be runnin less than 13's.

350 hp isnt impossible, i know plenty, and i have even seen a 515 hp one.

bullshit. I want to see this 515 hp N/A integra. where did you see it?

I can't imagine any one getting it over 300 without some serious cash, time, and know how let alone 515 hp.

To answer the first question. People in Japan usually don't turbo Honda's because there built to be N/A motors. High compresion engines shouldn't be boosted. As said above, the non/vtec integra is a great motor to turbo. People in Japan don't turbo them because no one buys non/vtec integras for speed over there.

Turbo in Japan=Nissan. (amoung other cars)
N/A in Japan=Honda.

The most amount of hp for an integra i've heard of was a turboed type R with 475hp at 28psi, I was thiking bout getting a GS-R and buying an complete engine from jgenginedynamics.com and turboing since it's stated to be able to handle 60psi

60 psi, that is a whole lot of boost, hell, 20 psi is alot, but 60, thats fuck*n out of it Who know if it is even possible, maybe with a whole sh*t load of heavy building. I just cant express how much boost that is through typing thats a whole fuck*n' lot.

Where did you hear or read that a gs-r can handle 60 psi. I wonder how much money you have if you hink you can build an engine to boost this much.

Maybe it can handle 5-8 psi stock.

here is a video of a gsr on a dyno 515 hp.

60psi!? wtf are you talking about. No way! I will garantee you that no engine from JG is able to handle even 40psi

We were talking about N/A motors, meaning no turbo or supercharger. See quote below.

And then you said...

This lead everyone to believe you were refering to a 515HP N/A engine, which the one in the video clearly was not. Simple mistake on your part. Nice video though. Good find!

Ummm do you need a definition of N/A???? because that is what we were all talking about buddy. That car is obviously a turbo beast that you just showed us, and while a beautiful car and video it does not pertain in the slightest to anything we were discussing.

I still can't believe that guy said 60psi!!!! you show me a car with 60 psi and i'll show you a pig with wings!!!

actually I believe there are quite a few vehicles running at least 4 bar (60 psi) at the tracks. I have heard of alot of trucks running it also. alot of diesels running that high too.

As far as an import well I've heard that golden eagle can build you a block no problem to run that high of a PSI, here is their website.

If you haven't noticed we are in an Integra forum so I was referring to Integra's and anyways I have never seen a car run that high, 40psi is about as high as I have ever heard of. I see nothing on Golden Eagle's web site that even comes close to a claim of building an engine to withstand 60 psi.

well how do you think those civics are running 700-800 HP that they have featured on there? on hopes and dreams?


And I didn't see anything on their website either claiming actual numbers but when I googled 60 psi or even 60 psi of boost the golden eagle name came up a few times. not to mention I have heard that they are one of the stongest engines out there for the strip.

All i'm trying to say is that 4 bar is not unheard of nor is it impossible. With the right amount of money and time they can build anything.
