A stock type R runs a 14.6-14.8 1/4. So how is it impossible to knock a second off that time. Its not.

this guy's jdm type R took a lil more than bolt on's like i said before... it's tru that the b18c5 will respond to mods better than more other engines but it's still not enough to knock off a whole second on the 1/4 mile.... i think the stock 1/4 mile time on a type R is actually in the low 15's not 14's...

In terms of ease of install and use.

Rep Power: 0 Who ran 15's in a ITR? Over here I've seen 3 type r's at the track one stock ran 14.92 and 14.87, the other two have SC I know one has JRSC and he runs high 13's (280 hp, 240 torque crank) the other one I haven't seen him run. A turbo'ed D17 can still woop a type R with bolt-on proof above a guy with JRSC runs high 13's, there's no way a type R runs 13s with bolt-ons, so go team turbo d17 
Well I was just in San Fran and i was at 7th Street or "Scary Track" as they call it. And a guy i met had a H22 stock in a EG Hatch Full interior. with I/E and open header. he raced a dude with a EG hatch w/GSR Turbo and spanked the crap out of him by 2 1/2 to 3 cars! so it goes to show you GSR turbo is still not as good as a D17 Boosted :-D

Rep Power: 0 Got to give catalyst mad props on the turbo on his car and his setup, its amazing. Turbo is worth it if you want that extra power, this is the only way you will see your car gain extra power, i/h/e won't give you much hardly at all! So there is always pro's and con's to turbo'ing just sit down and think about it and don't jump into something you won't be able to handle. IMO just sit down look it over and decide WHAT YOU WANT TO DO! It's your car do what would please you the most, trust me throwing on that SF Power Turbo Kit you'll be more than happy that you did it. I've riden in Catalyst ride with 2 other ppl let's just say we were moving like a **** in it and still spinning our tires with 3 ppl in his ride, its worth it IMO.

Rep Power: 334 well.. i want to turbo my D17 sooner or later. it will happen.
just keep in mind that making 13 second 1/4 times are pretty good. that is kinda quick. but that is just becuase we are on the light side.. as far as weight.
boost at say 8 psi.. and race a supra TT from an 80mph punch and u will get owned. but hey.. that doesnt matter since u run 13's right?

Rep Power: 334 yea that just puts it into prospective. u can boost ur D17 and make it a little more fun to drive. but dont expect to start owning everything or think u own everyone just becuase u can run 13 seconds.
so if ur main objective is to make ur car a lil more fun to drive.. boosting is not a waste of money. imo
