Amen.

But turbo, large shot of power at a certain RPM.
SC, gradual boost as you push more throttle in. *Throttle % = amount of boost.*

In the end you will gain more from the turbo because we drive higher reving cars.

Well, your really suppose to search because there are 100s if not 1000s of turboed cars on here.

The SC is more rare.

yeah man, go turbo with ls. Stay away from ls/vtec. Boost the hell out of it and that integra will be limit less. Turbo can be extreamly expensive so beware. Just grit your teeth for a while, save up and do it right the first time. Good luck!

:sighs:

Turbo, a SC uses the belt, therefore the higher the rpm is needed.

OMG, LOL&gt; Please do not going around spreadin wrong information.

You can't say, "Dont boost more than 8psi"
8PSI on a t3 is much diffrent that 8psi on a gt25 etc...
It's all about cfm,

Depends on the turbo size,

The ls motor can handle about 250-300WHP before things start to happen.

and dont even say anything about the sleves cracking at 300WHp because it's all about tuning.
there is a thread in Fi right now with a guy at 756WHP on stock sleeves.
its all about tuning.

I know this thread is about turbo, but I found this comment to very ignorant and without evidence to support the advice. I'll also fourth that...or would it be a fifth? Turbo over SC really depends on your goals and what you want to do with your car...I think we'd need a little more detail to give you proper suggestions.

For a 16yr old, 90DA9 seems to have some knowledge. Either that or he is reading all this **** from a magazine as he types.

I would say that honda and boost are pretty good buddies. I would choose boost for my da if I were to take the forced induction route.
