Ok, I've had my turbo on my itr for about 20,000 km. I've been thinking about selling the turbo kit and going NA. I dont know though, it seems like a step back in performance. If I sell the kit, I would get comptech icebox or mugen intake, either smsp or hytech exhaust and either a amuse r1 full titanium exhaust or smsp or hytech exhaust. And probably get a hondata with rev limiter, carsound cat, and maybe a ats fd if I have enough money. Do you guys think this is a wise decision? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the turbo, I'm just kinda getting sick of it. Plus my cousin always teases me about how cheap turbo's are and that NA is the ****. I've always admired NA hp and wanted to know from some experienced h-t members on what suggestions I should do. I know that smsp/hytech and amuse products are very $$$. Please help me with this huge dilemna.

 

It's really all up to you man. If your sick of the turbo (why may i ask?), then hell yea try the n/a route.

 

Get a girlfriend or something.

 

If you can afford to go fully-built NA, do it. Otherwise, keep the snail

 

fully built being 2.0l, etc.

 

If you can afford to go fully built N/A, you can afford to go fully built turbo.

I also second BPR's comment though.

 

IF you have cash to throw around, then by all means build the motor for high HP turbo!

Nah N/A or Turbo

If your turbo is working properly stay with it! who cares what your friend thinks

 

who's faster? head to the drag strip, then see who's teasin...


boost owns NA for speed. However, I think for road course/auto-x work, NA owns all

 

If you are getting sick of it, you are not making enough power.

Very true about the n/a part..but i suggest keeping the snail...yah going to miss the sound of the bov and the sweet whine of the turbo..just build the motor for turbo and have a turbo ITR on the track!! plus turbo isn't cheating its using technology at its finest!!..(i looooove my turbo itr!!)

 

maybe for B-series NA ownz track & autoX, but just look at S.V. GT series... built motor w/ boost ownz all NA cars. (RTR NSX w/ S/C, rest of the Porsche, Audi, etc...)

 

tr00, but which of the cars you mentions uses the same (2) wheels for steering and power?

 

well, doesn't Audi w/ at least 2 wheels that is used for steering & putting power down to the ground? (or, did they ban quattro)

 

Keep the turbo and use your extra money on a new CR250... Take it out and wick up the throttle a few times then go see a plastic surgeon to wipe the smile off your face...

You don't always need 4 cylinders to go scary fast..

 

His cousin has a 99 M3 with all AC Schnizter gear, and has a new M3 on order. So, there's always gonna be rivalry there. I love riding in the boosted R, and after talking to Crescent from C-speedracing, he's had to pull his head off 3 times this week for blowing gaskets. The Turbo's had it's minor problems here and there, but nothing much for being on for almost 2 1/2 years. Either/or is plenty of maintainence and money.
