Was wondering which one is better I know the ej1 gets more hp but d15 might be a little cheaper for me.

Where's the turbo come in at?

phranky

You want to know wether to get a car or a turbo engine?

JdmMidWest

im saying buy a ej1 which will cost me more or buy a cheaper d15 and then install a turbo

EJ1 is a body style. D15 is an engine. You cannot turbo a body style, only engines.
Are you sure you're phrasing the question correctly?

JdmMidWest

i realieze an ej1 is a body style so a d16z6 is what im getting at. buy that and do bolt ons or buy a cheaper hatchback (d15b7) and get a turbo for that. maybe that clears it up.

phranky

What grumpy said..........

Then say a eji stock or a hatch with a d15b7 with a turbo. Get a chevy your not smart enough to turbo anything. Word your questions right if you want help.

I'm making sure YOU know what you're talking about. I'm not assuming anything.

Also, how do you expect anyone to answer this question? No one one knows what you'd be paying for either one of these cars.

Lastly, list the specs of the full turbo kit you plan on installing.

phranky

Odds are slim he knows what a full turbo set up consists of.

My answer hinges on what he replies. I'm not going to assume anything about his knowledge of turbo systems just yet.

phranky

Lol should I buy a car or a turbo engine..........

Kinda wondering about that myself. Is there really that much of a price difference between a 5th gen coupe and a hatch? Pick one then add about 3 grand for the turbo kit (if you plan on doing it right). And if you plan on building either engine then it doesn't matter.

phranky

Well it really depends on the price of each... And the condition of each. It was a super blind question. Should I got to the mall or the grocery store?........ Well the hell are you buying? Lmao

JdmMidWest

Yea I realize that they are about the same price range but from what I've seen on Craigslist there isn't to many ex's compared to the hatchbacks. What I'm doing is just trying to plan it out. It is kind of a blind question.

dude is talkinga bout either a d15 with a turbo or a D16z6 with boltons wow dude please reaserch what ur talking about because turbo with a tune is going to run 2k+ just for the turbo kit itself with a tune thats if u peice it together u rly need to read because ur just like all these kids at the car meets oh yeah im gonna go turbo what do u think u just put a turbo in ur engine bay and its all good....

mmcd

lol, thats the truth. But for real man. I had more then 2k in just simple turbo kit. Bolx mani, made my own intercooler piping and so on and like i said it was 2k plus to do that.

JdmMidWest

Yep while I'm at that I'll be sure to remove the head for extra hp... I'm not retarded I know there's more that just putting a turbo in.

Doesn't sound like it. It's been my experience that anyone that askes which one is "better" or what is the "best" has absolutely no clue what they are talking about. Doubt me? Do a search for either keyword and watch what uninformed tripe pops up. Same goes for people that tend to avoid answering any questions that are put to them.

And you still have yet to fill in the missing info. Like how much we're talking about for either car. Without that you might as well should not have even posted.

A boosted anything, including a lawnmower, will put down more power than any Z6 with do-nothing bolt-ons. You don't sound like you know that. The choice seems pretty obvious to me if your goal is to be fast and furious.

phranky

Again............

Wrona

lol right... i agree with grumble you really dont know jack waht you're talking about

1st mistake u tried talking about a car vs a MOTOR
2nd mistake you thought that a Z6 with boltons would make power!
3rd mistake you asked whats the best
4th never mentioned a tune
5th never mentioned what turbo
6th you mentioned that buying the motor might be cheaper than Buying a WHOLE CAR no sh*t?
7th you never mentioned a budget
8th your budget must be low because you cannot afford a 2000 dollar civic
9th ur name is JDM and thats just plain dumb sorry but whats so jdm about a Canadian or a US civic?

thats all i can list out of the top of my head
