I can get a good deal on this setup, wondering if it is worth it. Any opinions?

 

Every one is going tell you " Turbo Turbo Turbo",
They should call this the Turbo Forum.

I friend of mine making 175WHP with a D16Z6, with a 20 shot of NOS he is 200+, Like you hear all the time, Tunning is the key. Use a stand alone and atke it to a dyno. The SOHC motors always make pretty good torque , He is around 155 Tq.

 

yea i figured thats what i would hear about turbo. I have been there, done that, and want something different. thanks for the info. btw, what other mods does he have? was that at 10psi?

Don't do it just turbo turbo turbo
or lsvtec

 

Well, if you've experienced turbo then you are gonna be a sad **** when you take your first ride in the SC'ed car.

 

i have experienced turbo for quite some time, but want something with a little less high maintenance.

edit: In addition, I asked what numbers that setup would give me from personal experience, not your opinion on which is better, SC or turbo..

i disagree...

i drove my d16y8 boosted on 12psi for about 6 months...sold it, then jumped in a friend's SC b20Vtec on 7psi pulley.....omg...that was some torque...

 

im sorry but that's hardly a comparison

d16 @ 12psi
b20 @ 7psi

obviously the b20 is gonna move.

ohh and to the creator of this post, I say do something different go SC.
I'm sure you'll get pulled on up top by a similar turboed car but the SC will prolly be alot easier to live with and alot more fun to drive on a DAILY basis.
