Which do u feel will last for a longer period of time and still giving power?

i need something SUPER reilable....this is my first car im tuning...all on my own !!!

all motor tends to be a little more reliable than a turbo set-up. in the end, ITS ALL ABOUT TUNING

and parts

 

You cant really say which is more reliable. A fully built turbo motor running low to mild boost with good tuning is fairly reliable. A high compression high revving na motor could be completely unreliable. Or vice versa. Its all about the money you have and you or the person building /tuning the motor knows what they are doing. The biggest thing is tuning!

where is the option for stock?

If you want reliable don't mod the car, period.

 

i realize stock is the best...but i want some POWER...i've jus been hearing since this is my daily driver to go all motor...then once i get enough, buy a car to go turbo and learn with it...

 

Then you have to make a choice, which is more important reliability or power?

If its reliability, I wouldn't do anything beyond bolt ons and maybe a final drive.

Turbo puts more stress on the engine, cam upgrades put more stress on the engine, forged pistons require larger clearances, titanium retainers wear quicker, etc, etc

 

Whichever makes less power will probably last longer...

Keep in mind to build an all motor setup with the same HP as a turbocharged setup, you'd spend enough on the all motor to cover the costs of a sick turbo setup and an engine build.

 

Depends on how you well you build your setup and tune it! And drive it like you have sense and not take it past its limits in which it is built for!

 

all motor will last longer with a mild setup and give you enough power to satisfy your needs. turbo is only if your serious about ur car and arent afraid to run into problems. but like everybody said tunning is the key factor. if not tuned right then ur all motor setup will go in a heart beat.

 

All motor will be more reliable but you wont have nearly as much fun as you would with a turbo... and you get that cool lil spooling noise hahah .. just my opinion

see thats how i see it ...lol

 

You could build an all motor car. Probably not real fun to drive on the street. And won't last a whole hell of a long time.
You could build a turbo car. Probably easier to drive on the street and faster at that. But the wear and tear will be even worse than the all motor car. Unless you run around on low boost. Which would probably be a good thing.
You could build a decent motor and squeeze it on the track. Willl run good last long and be easy to drive. Of course nitrous can be the hardest to tune properly. And guessing from the small amount of information provided to me, you are not experienced with n2o. So if decide to that you better find someone that is.

well. sometimes at night when i wake up, i feel funny.. its kinda a ....

yeah anyways.. it all depends to me on the car.. i know turbo guys who are fine. they tune and did it right.. all motor guys can last for a while, if they are built properly and they tuned correctly and maintain the car well..


if your lazy you ll last the longest stock~

 

this is a daily driver, so id only run it hard when i had to(track) or when an *** pulls beside me

 

23 say all motor
5 say turbo

thanks guys

 

That's cause there are more N/A heads here on HT.com than Turbo guys.

I have a daily driver. Stock block, stock internals---original motor.
I've been turboe'd since 10/9/04.

Custom pieced kit.
Running 6.5-7 psi.
Car is running good. No problems. You just have to keep up with maintenance.
I do more short driving than anyone else I know.

Car has been thru 1 oil change since I recently bottomed out my oil pan.
Car currently has 141,xxx miles on it.


Do I think it's reliable? With good tuning...HELL YES.
I think it's definitely fun to drive!

But I'm broke as **** from the Turbo setup...That's a different story.

and not running 15lbs of boost on ur whip.. a safe 6lbs or 7 should be good for a daily driver with some get up and go

 

i figured every1 likes N/A i like to be different so ima go turbo, lol

 

if you were going to go boosted..you should of just made a poll with supercharger or turbo would of gotten better results then just all motor

Which ever way you decide to go, make sure you do it right and get it tuned properly! This will ensure the best chances of having a reliable motor!

Thats only because people have biased opinions based on what they have, not what they know.

Anything can be as reliable or unreliable as the next. It all depends on how you drive it, the setup itself, the condition of the base motor and how its tuned. Its all relative.
