hey guys, im a newbie here but not in the import scene. My info for the site may say im 16 which is true but i like think i know quite a bit for my age. And yes i probly could have searched this and found what i needed but i wanted everyone opinion on what my thoughts were and not another user. This comming june ill have about 3-4 thousand to spend on my 92 eg, i already have a gsr with a hondata, jdm r cams and spings/retainers, adjustable cam gears, dc 4-1 header, apex 2.5 cat back with high flow cat, i also have a skunk 2 intake manifold and a hks air intake, the car has also been tuned on the dyno (when stock) but needs to be retuned with new parts. I am on the fence between all motor or turbo, i know i have a header and intake manifold but in the end they both will be upgraded later to itb's and a hy-tech or some similar sort of header if i choose all motor. I also know i can get more power out of a turbo system and have more sooner for less money. But i want to know what is more satisfying for you guys in the end and how a built all motor car feels vs. a turbo car being as i have neither riden in either a turbo vtec motor or and honda for that matter or a fully built n/a car. Help me out please

N/A= slower, must be fully build to go fast, more reliable
Turbo= faster and addictive, not as reliable as NA

 

N/A: EXPENSIVE if you want to go fast, more reliable

Turbo: Cheap to go fast, not as reliable as n/a.

 

money as no object which would you guys find more satisfying in the end of it all, and if you guys have friends on here tell them to post im having a hard time gettin people to look at the thread
thanks fellas

 

go turbo... its just .. better?

if you truly want to spend the money to go n/a then go for it.. in the end turbo is still going to be faster and alot cheaper.

 

Damn man. Your 16 and you have all that?? Im 24 with a good job and your just about at my level lol. Hope it was all legal.

Anyways, to keep it short, decide which sound you like better. The high revving sound of a VTEC motor, or the spool up and psst of the blow off valve.

Good luck.

2 words. VRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH

 

I like all motor

 

SUPERCHARGER is good too! always kicks in unlike turbo, it lags most of the time.

 

you can build a high reving motor and still turbo it. you cant go nowhere as fast n/a as you can turbo. and that is b/s to say a turbo isn't as reliable as a n/a motor, engine management is the key, and a built bottom end.

you can't go wrong either way..i actually like both ways of making power..

 

if money is no object for you do one and if your not satisfied sell your stuff and try the other one

 

vtec turbo.

 

Theres just something about a Honda motor at 8k+ that makes me smile...
