I have a 94 integra the motor is LsVtec. I can't make up my mind between all motor or forced induction. I want all motor for autocross/road race but at the same time i want forced induction for the fact of being quicker than people and going to the drag strip. I'll be much quicker with a turbo setup than all motor because of the money i have to spend isn't much when it comes to all motor. I can't decide! What are your views of N/A Vs FI??

I'll also make this some post in All Motor to compare views.
Thanks

 

all motor is slow lol I have thought about building an all motor car on a few occasions but once you get boerd of it you cant really go much faster. In a turbo car you can always do a few supporting mods and turn up the boost.

 

if u want a quick car for both. just get like a GT28 and make like 300-350 and u'll have an awesome power band

 

up

 

Not sure I understand the question - are you asking us if it is better to be slow or better to be fast?

 

Have you ever been in a turbo'd car? because if you have then you should already know the better choice.

 

ive had both, and i have to say, i love em both....no matter, what you decide, ur gonna have fun with it. and the money difference will not be that much different if u do them right.

 

I've gone both routes. Personally I like my turbo's better. They go faster and make more power in the end. However, there is nothing quite like a FAST all motor honda. Once Im done with this turbo setup I'm pretty sure I want to build an all motor car again.

And I guess to answer your initial question: At first I went the All Motor route cause at the time it seemed cheaper. In the end though it really isn't. So pick what you like.

 

I decided to boost my car rather than putz around with NA stuff once i saw how hard it is to make any kind of useable power from an NA build. With my turbo setup i was able to easily make 300+whp and 200+wtq and spend less than $5k after everything. For that kind of power NA, i'd need a second or third job....even then the car wouldnt be streetable because of the higher compression and the need for race gas at that point.

For me anyway boost is best. As you mentioned in your original post, you planned to road race your car. I hope to do the same once i have enough time and money to devote to it (after college basically) and this turbo setup will be the one i run while road racing. If you build a good setup geared towards response rather than peak power, you'll have a setup that is comparable to a good NA build, but with tons more power potential.
