When I was making the decision to go FI I was tron between turbo or SC. I eventually decided to go with the SC for the car. It's my daily driver so I needed something that was street legal in California and at the time there were no California street legal turbo setups.

Sure, I'm not out running LS-1's but that's not why I went FI on my Integra. I just like to drive my car fast and hard and the SC just adds to the level of driving enjoyment I get from the GSR. If I'd wanted to seriously play with the guys driving LS-1's I'd have bought something else.

Oh I don't know about that now I could stomp the mess out of a LS-1 after we got rolling. From a stop I would ignite my tires up in first, but a properly tuned 8 psi kit would give a LS-1 a serious run for his money

13.24 on a smokin' motor can't be bad!?!

Don't honda's have traction problems on street tires in first gear with a JRSC @ 8psi or more?

I have been toying with that debate myself as of late. First off, do you own an LS or GSR or the daddy Type R??? If you own the LS, it is a must for a turbo. SC is only 165 at wheels!!! Turbo can make about 250 stock bottom end. GSR - it is a toss up. There are alot of JRSCs, but I like the DRAG Gen 3. I think if you get everything properly correct, that a turbo can be as reliable as a SC. It takes a few more mods, and a little tlc, but your car will reap the benefits alot more. Hope I helped.

Hey everyone. I've been reading TONS about turbos and SC's for quite a while now and the more I read, the more of a toss up it is. So I pose this question to anyone who would be kind enough to share their opinion -
What would you recommend for a daily driver with minimal track use? The ability to spank mustangs and camaros would be nice. Thanks!

I think if I could do it all again, I'd have saved to build my engine and gotten a Turbo . Then again, I've not driven a Turbo daily so who knows for sure. If Endyn doesn't pan out, I might switch over .
