Default Thinking of ditching my 275hp allmotor for a turbo set up. whatcha think?

well i haver a fully built swap for sale right now, but i got to thinking why not sell part of it (you know the header twm's and cams) and keep the rest and slap my t3/t4 i have lying around. what do you think? i spent almost 14 thou on the entire build and i cant sell it for 8000 so why not try to keep my losses to a minimum.

i also tried selling the whole car but th at was no luch either.

here is a pic of my car.

275 n/a whp in an eg, what do you run in the 1/4? Are you knocking on 11's? if so how much faster do you think you'd be boosted? I personaaly would stay N/A, fast all motor cars command respect and if you need a little insurance every now and then just add a little juice? Just my 2 cents

exactly what he said...youve got to be deep in the 12's with that and the all motor factor is just pimp. stay n/a! if you want a turbo car that bad go buy a 1G DSM for cheap or something. im turbo and have way more respect for a nasty *** N/A car any day.

also what engine management are you running?

He's running the AEM EMS system.

judging by your sig this post is a fore gone conclusion before I start begging you to stay cool, sorry for the little jab there, I need to know how streetable this thing is, because if it is just aweful you may have a case for turbo but it would have to drive like a tractor b4 I would consider it valid.

well driveability was perfect. no blips, drove just like it would have came from the factory, considering i guess.

and as far as the signiture, yea i guess it gave it away a little., nothing is final, but i wanted to get the ball rolling just in case.

dude seriously, judging from the pictures, the car is bad. dont sell it. youve got a gem. everyone goes turbo in their search for more hp with the h22. keep it n/a, dont sell the car and just be flat out content with it. i dont know your every motive but if you want something turbo, go out and buy another hatch, an LS block and boost the **** out of it.

by the way if you do want to sell the car, sell it to me for cheap.

i would keep NA setup. turbo will give you more power...and problems with reliability and LAG! unless you're just looking for faster 1/4 mile times, i would stay NA.

For sure. As far as im concerned, a 1g DSM is anyones best bet for the fastest car with least money put into it. 1 grand into that car and you could be pullin mid 13's daily, i watched my best friend do it, then drop another 2,300 and hit a 12.3. Ugly but sick cars!!
