for those who have turboed their stock block type r, do you have any regrets and wished they went NA instead???

 

if you like alot of wheelspin go for it

 

u know. there's saying N/A is best? there must be a reason for that

 

my brother went boost on his R. and has never turned back since. couple months he'll be sending his block to GE. its great being fast

I dunno, I think the best NA mod is a JRSC

 

why do N/A guys keep saying N/A is best...lol. Have you N/A guys actually driven a high horsepower F/I car. I think its personal preference, I mean everybody likes something different and its not just about going fast, its about building a car with personality that you are happy with. A car that you enjoy driving either N/A or F/I.

P.S. Boost is CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....lol

yup, just a few


i find the driving experience and throttle response of my N/A far superior to force induction. if i wanted to go fast, i'd go boost. if i wanted to have fun, i'll stay N/A

this is all IMO of course

 

This is something I struggled with for a while deciding to turbo my R.

I used to have a turbo charged delsol B16A2.

I sold that to by my ITR and said I would never turbo charge it and stay NA.

I am in the process 'now' of turbo charging the R on stock internals.

Throttle response, Smottle response....lol.

 

ppl boost pretty much for straight line racing... but any car can be fast in a straight line. n/a is so sick when it comes to touge, road racing etc. even super charging is great too. i had a boosted gsr i regretted it. it was fun on the highway but out of control when i blasted out of corners due to wheelspin

 

I don't agree that throttle response is worse on boost. In fact I think that it's much better. It's a function of timing, fuel mapping and throttle tip in adjustments. You can get very crisp throttle response if you calibrate the ecu properly.

I bought my ITR new in the fall of '99, boosted it one year later in the fall of '00. Now it's coming up on 7 years running forced induction, I must say it's been a great learning experience and I have no regrets at all.

All I have to say is that the stock ring lands won't handle 300 whp forever. Mine lasted about 5 years. Now I'm on forged internals.

 

I've been on stock internals for about 10,000 miles on 8lbs. Motor has 74k now.
I been pretty mean to heR, but she's still strong I'm sure i'll have to get forged internals soon.
I don't regret it one bit and she drives great through the curves. It's all in the tune.

 

I loved the high horsepower of a Turbo ITR but never could use it in town without pissing people off. Whats the point of speeding in highways with the turbo? Long story short, I blew up my motor, did an NA build that is as near quick as it was when it was turbo.
