Default Naturally aspirated or turbo?

I have a JDM B16 with some fuel system upgrades, and edelbrock intake manifold, and an edelbrock 65mm throttle body. Do you think I should go turbo, or build the car for high compression???

all motor is just as expensive as turbo if not more. the results are harder to come buy as if it was a turbo, just crank up the boost

suggestion if you go turbo...do it right!! Build up your block, resleeve, low comp pistons, and even some turbo cams if you have the money. Then slap on a good turbo kit. If money isn't an issue try to get a Full Race turbo kit. PM Earl from full race and talk to him about your turbo goals!!

Well since I know where your coming from with the money deal. All I'll tell you is to sleeve your block and throw a turbo kit on! Some people will argue with me about sleeving your block, but your a college kid and you need an engine that needs to be dependable when running boost~~!

Chances are that most people are going to tell you to go turbo... there was a survey done in the GDD section on which one was preferred, and majority said turbo.

The question should be is what do you want to do with the car such as road race, drag, autocross...etc?

go turbo, you don't need to sleeve your f-in engine, your an idiot if you say you NEED to. Sleeving is by far the least important thing. Stock honda sleeves are good for ALOT of horsepower, save money by keeping the stockers and spend it on a good tune. Unless your looking at like 400whp and up, keep the stock sleeves. BTW going turbo is much much cheaper. And if your going drag, screw NA. NA is nice, but for drag racing FI takes the cake.
