Hi there, new to the forum Been looking to turbo my Integra. Its a 96' JDM Dc2. Was wondering if any here had any experience of doing this? Ive seen this site, Acura Integra Turbo Kits If i was to buy, are these all the parts i need?

Any help would be appreciated

Hey and welcome to the forum


It says its a bolt on job but gaining 50% power ( sorry this is the top kit im looking at ) so id be a little worried about the compression as most hondas already run high as it is. I would have thought adding 75-100 bhp would have required low compression pistons

I know a guy who had put a bolt on turbo on his Civic. The whole job was a nightmare and took a lot of effort and time. He had to practically rebuild his engine to make it fit. If you stick with a low boost level you will probably be fine with this bolt on kit.

It is worth noting that if something is not fit for the purpose it was sold for you are entitled to a refund. I would ask them for references from happy customers - if they can't supply any look somewhere else. I usually recommend a supercharger instead of a turbo on the Integra engines, as the power delivery is smoother and easier to remap for.

Wouldnt a Turbo'ed Integra be like, horrific in acceleration?

Like, you go up a few thousand revs then theres a surge of power to the wheels from the turbo booster, then shortly after theres another surge as the engine switches into Vtec? You'd be accelerating out of corners and you'd be understeering alot when you floored it, wouldnt you?

Or is this me being jealous?

Would fuel consumption go down the ****ter? (I cant imagine thats why one would own a Integra anyway haha)

Its a good idea I just worry you'd be stripping your tires every time you're at a traffic light.

No this wouldn't happen, once the turbo is spun up it will continue to rise as VTEC kicks on, the change over should be a little more aggressive then before,

From what I've heard, the company that produces these kits may do a secondary ECU to adjusts the VTEC, they should be running a secondary or re-chip for the new fuel mapping,

So an Integra is running a compression which is quite high at 11:1, What i would recommend on this if you are running a 50% or above efficient inter cooler as well and is 100 octane fuel, then and only then would i run 8 psi,
