Re: which do you guys prefer? (Jxi8s2k)
i prefer turbo myself. my friend wants to n/a tune his 2000. i'm gonna take the f/i route. he thinks that he'll smash me becuase his motor would be able to handle higher compression. i'm gonna have to take him to the track a couple of times.

For power output, Turbo > NA... I don't think that it is going to matter whether or not you'll be able to handle higher or lower CR numbers. You'll be boosted... Joo don't need high CR numbers for boost.

so wrong....
an highly strung out NA motor will cost you more then a turbo setup to achive the same hp numbers or something even compareable speed wise.....
example:
10k spent on turbo setup + ems, and a couple of extra goodies can get you 400rwhp easy....
10k spend on 2.5L stroker kit + ITB + ems, and a couple of extra goodies if you still have money left over.. will give you 300rwhp if you're lucky...
NA costs more money then Turbo when it comes to HP/$
on top of that.. a highly strung out NA motor is actually less reliable then a turbo setup...

yes.. cause a highly strung motor will have a lot of head work, you'll probably rev higher to squeeze out more power, higher lift cams.. yada yada yada.... it ends up putting more stress on the motor, which in return ruins the reliability.....
for instance my buddy had a highly strung out itr, with toda valvetrain, and a lot of head work... he needed a rebuild every 30-50k miles...
but if you just plan on going NA but nothing serious... just the basic bolt ons, and very light head work, you'll be fine...

Re: which do you guys prefer? (03s2kblue)
It would depend on how much of a build it. If it is a highly built N/A motor, then it will need rebuilds depending on mileage. If all the miles are road racing, then it will need it sooner. If it is daily driven, then i'm sure it will be awhile.
Why do you think many race cars rebuild their motors between races? They are highly built NA, you sacrifice reliability when go extreme
