This is for those of you who have a built all-motor setup that you drive daily. When I say built, I mean more than i/h/e/c obviously. Anyway, my ? is this. If you had it to do over again, would you go the all-motor route again or would you say **** it and get a turbo?

EDIT: I can't spell.

i would go all motor all the way

 

turbo

 

anyone else?

 

Still go all motor

 

NA is the way!!!! Obviously it would depend on the car I was building at the time... my wife's CRV--FI My NSX---FI My Civic--NA... don't ask me why I would FI an NSX...

 

It really all depends on what you want to do with the car and what your mission is. If daily driving is your thing and you just want it to be quick I say all motor is the most practical setup, especially when it comes to the gas pump. -HIT

 

it depends on what my goal was if i was looking run run 12's i would go fi if i just want a nice all around motor set up like my c1 then na all the way

gotta have boost

 

I've loved my built NA sohc's throughout the years; they've been unique and fun. however, h22 should have been my initial investment. How can you go wrong with 25 mpg, honda reliability, and 13.0's all day on pump gas w/o opening the motor up? You cant. Whether you want to race NA or just putt around NA, h22 is the most reliable way to go...

 

hmmm... well that may be true to an extent... What about suspension geometry? The H22 does tend to mess up the front suspension making it a poor candidate for SCCA. I know you can change spring rates and such, but is there really a way to make the H22 work for SCCA and the like?

 

I have ridden in H22 hatches before and they arent that bad handling wise, not like everyone makes them out to be. True, for an event such as the SCCA, they are far from what they would need to be to win, but I wouldnt immediatly count them out purely because of their motor swap.

 

Here we go again..................

 

I agree. In terms of handling potential, h22 in eg/ek = GTI Vr6, a car that has seen it's fair share of success roadracing/ auto-x. You can set them up to handle with the best of them...

All motor is much more reliable. Its more challenging and you get more respect when you smote a turbo or N2O car.

 

Blew it up and build'n another NA engine.
