I know this question has been asked a lot of times before but im debating on whether to go turbo or all-motor for my gsr hatch. For all-motor im planning on getting a skunk2 intake manifold, stage 2 camshaft plus camgears, valve springs and retainers, 4-1 header(brand undecided yet) j's racing cf intake and 2.5" exhaust pipe with a es oval muffler. Now if i go turbo a friend of mine is selling his greddy street legal turbo kit brand new and he said he'll give me a good deal on it. So what should i do? If i decided to go all-motor and buy all the parts i listed above would it be faster than the greddy turbo kit? By the way i also posted the same question in the all-motor section since i wanted to hear both sides

 

$ vs. power you will do better going turbo. for $2500-$3000 you can get in the 250-320whp on your GSR and fairly reliably.

At a certain point withan all motor 1.8 liter engine it's really hard to push serious HP and cost a crap load of money. Everyone in this forum is gonna tell you to save up and buy the guys kit or make your own custom turbo kit. Turbo is such a different world then all motor...most of the crapiest turbo setups will beat a nice all motor setup. Read up!

 

^ So true!


Boosting is the best "Horse Power for the $$$Dollar$$$ Ratio"

 

I had the same setup you are thinking about getting: Skunk2 IM, STage II cams, ect ect ect ect...... I recently decided to go FI and it did make a world of difference and I wouldn't ever be this happy with any all-motor setup you could throw at me. Good luck bro.
