ok im just kind of stumped on what to do. i have a turbo sitting out in my garage that i got to because it was a great price. but i dont think i really want to turbo my hatch anymore. so here are my options:

option 1:
junkyard turbo with FMIC

option 2:
Exospeed camshaft
skunk 2 valvetrain
raise CR
adj cam gear
Y8 Intake Manifold/Throttle Body
programmable fuel injection system
and the possibilty of getting a n2o kit if im not satisfied

please vote. i think that the opt. 2 would be fun and probably give out some decent N/A times.

i didn't vote because i like both ideas! the only reason i'm thinking of the n/a route more is that with what you put down there it will be faster IMO than a junkyard turbo running 5-7 psi. I think i go for n/a this time, but you will be spending more!

 

well i feel how i voted was that.. anyone can slap a turbo on and be pretty quick but if you had a N/a car.. thats fast then **** that is hard to beat..

 

I choose #1, its similiar to what I'm doing. Build your block up, then turbo it. You will be putting down more hp because of the built block, then when you add the turbo you can easily double that depending on the turbo and how much you boost!

 

i also forgot to add that i already have I/H/E

 

# 2

qoute "but i dont think i reallly want to turbo my hatch anymore."

If you are hesitant about going turbo, don't go turbo. You already seem to have all the parts listed up for n/a. Maybe you should think about it a little more and ask yourself a few questions... costs/reliabillity/speed/etc, which choice is better for your own situation.

 

be like me N/A d16a6 owns, plus you can find parts to build it also from the wrecking yard.

 

for daily driver reliability wise, i would have to go with # 2.
