Re: (Projec-T)
K-Series is kinda a waist of money to put it in my hatch but yeah it would be nice if you could get it running perfectly in your car plus the skrilla you will have to lay for that will be rediculous. I go with the above poster B18b turbo all day long man good power to weight ratio and its pretty much the easier b-series motor as far as maintenance.

Re: (dc2-guy)
I guess he's talking about the power that can be extracted with turbo LS and a the weight of your car.
The reason that I suggest turbo LS is because with rods,pistons, ARP you can get 300whp out of them easily. There's a turbo LS thread floating around the forced induction with all kinds of numbers that these guys are putting down.
It gets to a point when you can have too much power. 400whp is the most that I would ever want on the street. Once you go past that level you're not even going to be able to put power down and you'll have to worry about traction so much that you'll think about going to an LS transmission, which will make you slower. The more power you have, the more maitenance you have to do. It sucks.

Re: (Bense)
i dont see why people think that larger displacement over turbo is going to yeild more power
even if the motor is larger in displacement has more power over stock, its going to be harder to make power as easily as turbo can
i tihnk na k24 verse turbo b16 isnt it obvious? TURBO B16 small stroke,large bore,VTEC,DOHC,TURBO,SHORT GEAR RATIOS ect ect ect
its really hard to compare na to fi as fi is a instant power gain and alot of it NA takes alot of owrk to make a fraction of power a turbo can

Re: (b18sihatch)
I think just about everyone knows it, but everyone has NA dreams instead of turbo dreams lol. I think just about everyone would agree that a jdm dc5 k20a with a k24 block with cams, ITBs, 5.062 final, etc. in a lightweight EG hatch with ITR brakes and blah blah blah would be an awesome awesome awesome vehicle to play with. Having 250+ whp all motor is awesome.
But total investment for that setup = over 10k
turbo D with equivalent acceleration with gears and a LSD, upgraded brakes = less than half the cost.
When it comes down to it, it's all about money. I don't have the money for k-series. And if I did, I would buy my gf an engagement ring.
that's right, CARS > GIRLS
just kidding, Meredith, I love you more than my car (and I hope you don't read this)

Re: (Bense)
i donno, there are alot of people who love turbo, turbo is an addiction, if you've never driven a turbo car you can't understand it, once you get in and drive and start boosting its a instand addiction i dont care who you are no one says oh i dont like turbo
maybe NA is more of a satisfacoty type deal where its like well i got X ammount of power out of this NA car.
but done right Boost is a never ending ammount of power. pistons,rods,rings,sleeves you got yourself a bullet proof machine
