I think the mpg in a turbo integra wouldnt be as bad as my all stock 4 speed automatic RX8... ~12mpg

And you had to get premium gas or you'd fuck up your engine.. i still like rotary engines though

My Integra is a DD Turbo B18A1, I would not change anything. I will caution you and anyone looking to build a DD Turbo Integra, it is not cheap, and you have to do it right!.

I live in AZ!! Yes, I drive my car everyday. I actually use it for work to haul equipment because it holds my equipment perfectly and it gets better gas mileage then my other cars that have room. I routinely drive between Las Vegas and Arizona (6 Hours).

last summer Arizona hit 124 degrees and averages 112 degrees. So I had to spare no expense in building this car. I have a full size Mishimoto Radiator, and dual fans, A/C, PS. and CC. So far I have put 10,000 miles on the car and no problem. We will see what happens when it gets real hot, it's only been about 100 so far.

Roughly $13,000.00 for just the motor. Keep in mind I had to do a Vtec conversion which cost a lot.

My car will eat most K series for breakfast :lol: with out breaking a sweat. The car made 373HP and 300TQ on 12Lbs of boost! The motor should be fine up to 800HP

How much hp does that push out? 400 hp? I know a guy with a 600 hp Eagle Talon. The turbo on it made me shit my pants
