hey way up HT I just got an em1 a couple of months ago and i want to start working on my engine as soon as possible. I'm looking to get between 300-350 horses but still have a reliable DD thats good on gas i like both turbo and NA builds so because i can't choose from either i have to choose by what is easier and whats least expensive. i have a little more then just basic automotive knowledge so i know that i can do either one with some help from friends.. let me know what you guys think is the best way to achieve my goal.

 

1) What's your budget/how much are you willing to spend.

 

If you're really looking for 300+ HP on a B16, your only option is FI.

 

go boosted making 300 whp naturally aspirated is enormously expensive compared to turbo setup and tuning

 

i agree. BOOST will be the best and cheapest way for you to achieve 300+hp. my buddy has an all stock b16a2 boosting 8lbs/tune for his daily driver. hits low 14's on quater mile.

 

Please use the questions and comments in this thread to help you formulate more specific technical questions, and then make a new thread. If you opt for boost, then post your questions in the Forced Induction forum.
