Putting a turbo on such a hi-compression motor as the 94-01 GSR would make
a motor that requires super-high octane,and may not last very long,or not
make a lot more power.I suspect boost would have to be limited.

Of course, compression ratios can be changed... The higher the PSI you

The OP appeared to desire a bolt-on application,not go into major motor
mods.

I didn't see anything that would indicate a reluctance to change the
pistons...

Do you have any idea how common turbos and superchargers are for Hondas?
It's really the most cost effective way to make power, after Nos and way
cheaper than bolt-on mods dollar/HP.

Some turbo installs ARE bolt-ons(DIY),and some aren't.
When you get into changing pistons/rods/heads and internal mechanicals,the
costs and trouble go way up.And requires more skills and perhaps
specialized tools.

A good guide is the more power,the greater the complexity/difficulty,and
cost.The question is;how much and how far is the OP willing to go?
Both in terms of desired power,effort,and cost.

Obviously,the OP has not done his research,and instead is looking for
opinion on this NG. Not too wise.

People turbocharge integra gs-r's all the time. If you are wanting to put
any more than 9psi then i would get a larger head gasket to lower the
compression a little.
