Default Probally going to sell all my turbo ****

Yes, even before the car is tuned, I want to get rid of the turbo **** and toss in a Jap Type R motor. My car has been down since June 31st with issues having to do with the ECU, fuel and what not. It all comes down to a reliability issue. I work 40 miles from my house and I need something reliable that I can drive from here to there. Since reliability is a major issue, I think the turbo has to go. I want to get you guys opinion. Also, if you need or want any of my turbo **** on the car let me know via PM. Mods please let this run even though I want to sell ****.

a turbo will only be reliable if you take the time and make sure everything is in proper working order.

i have had turbo/hybrid cars on the road with no problems for over 2 years.

My passion is road/track racing and a stock 200hp Type r motor would suffice.

I'm sorry to hear that. My junkyard untuned setup (d16z6) with the hack has been as reliable as my honda always was, 11k miles and still going strong, driving hard daily. A small turbo is key to autocross, and again, i'm sorry to hear that. Good luck with your swap, but i'll always be true to my heart... a N/A honda is just what it sounds like... not applicable~!
