do not...i repeat DO NOT boost the type R motor. everything on this motor is designed for NA. get a sick Port and polish, a more aggresive set of cams etc.

 

boostjunkie will be joining this thread pretty soon

 

I would have to say 84mm 12:1 cr with some toda c's or similar cam, and HONDATA or EMS. All that will cost more than a turbo kit. So you decide.

 

very conflicting opinions....seems to be what im getting

 

hows that cost more than a turbo kit?

 

cams 700 to 1000 depending on which one
valve train ~400
pistons~ 400 +/-
rods ~300
hondata 295 for the base s200 ecu ~200 (chipped)depending on the year of the car ecu harness/ aem ems ~1000
headwork
throttly body (bored or bought)
header 600 +
fuck all the custom exhaust bullshit, get an electric cutout and use a (relatively)stock exhaust 300
so those plus labor and a turbo will get you more hp

 

pistons=300-400
rings=100
machine work(at wargo)=200(resurface head, bore and hone block,swap pistons to stock rods, if you choose to keep stock rods)
stock gasket kit=280
bearings=250
toda spec c cams=1000
port and polish=at least 600(if you choose to do headwork)
upgraded valve train to support the spec c's=250-350(depending on brand)
valve seals, and labor to install them=120
AEM ems/hondata=400-800(depending on model, s100, s200)
timing belt, water pump-200
upgraded injectors (new)=250+
labor to do all this work= only cause weve been friends so long would it be for a FUNKY CHICKEN, anywhere else it would be a piss load........

 

hah, you beat me to it rob.....

 

thats still 4550, without labor.....rough est. turbo kit....3800...doesnt inculed msd, gauges, clutch, ect. not to mention building the motor...which i would want to do because ive had a turbo on a stock motor and it only lasted like 6 months, im not trying to blow my jdm itr up. i now have a built ls in my other car on 17 psi and that things bullet proof....cost like 7 gs though. .....i feel like im wosing out not going turbo, its been kinda like a dream of mine to have a jdm itr turbo hatch......i dont know what to do.....

 

its easy. take the built ls motor out of the teg put the type r head on it after you build the head and then put a turboed ls/vtec motor in your hatch.
