    6A12TT in Honda Integra DC2

    Hi guys... first time poster :)

    As the title says, i've managed to fit a 6A12TT in a Honda Integra DC2. Im from Australia, so your all probably familiar with the acura. The car is still a front wheel drive.

    Anyhow, my question now comes to the performance upgrading of the motor. I know theres nothing off the shelf for this motor. At the moment im looking at upgrading the turbos.

    I've read a few articles of people going to a single turbo conversion, and this was along the steps i'd like to take. The rear turbo is quite close to the rear firewall, so upgrading these turbos is prob out of the question.

    What turbo would people recommend going to a single? I dont want to push the car beyond 400hp.

    As for the rods. Where do people go for custom rods? The rods in there are quite thin, and i dont think they would survive anything over 300hp.

    Anything else i should be concerned about with this motor? Anything else i can upgrade to avoid problems @ 350hp?

    Edit: I think someone just deleted my post? Here are some photos.

    18G i think. do your turbos have blue tabs? you can swap to the blues for more power. even other mitsu twin turbos aren't that mush bigger.
