I need help. I have a 99 si coupe, should i put a t/3 t/4 turbo or should i go all motor

 

what's under the hood? how much $$$ are you willing to spend. need more details.

 

go all motor more respect

 

turbo that bitch

 

i have a b16 dohc with an intake and exhaust

 

Well I'd say probably 99% of the fast Si's out there are boosted just because of sheer weight.

I however am going the all motor route on mine. I have a passion for N/A Honda's. I am building the engine/car this winter to compete in S/S for Battle Of The Imports. Probably the most cost effective and easiest sanction I can go with.

Not only am I going all motor with an Si, but I am building a B16A2 for all motor as well. Double the hate.

Will make 220whp when finished. Nothing too extreme. After all it's still gotta be streetable.

 

b16 nice. go all motor on b16. get more respect! ^_^

 

boost it or you will get smoked by every swapped hatch out there

 

i really want to go turbo simply b'c my friend just go a 98 hatch cx with a ls motor swap, with a t/3 t/4 turbo and his car halls. he kicks my *** everytime. so i want to be able to beat him. but if i go all motor, could i beat him, with my motor?

Unless you are going to get more displacement than 1.6L in the B16 I say turbo.

 

you'll get more hp/$ w/ a nice turbo set up, me thinks

 

Bottom line, boost is more power with less work. Hard to get the same power n/a but it can be done and like many have said, there is more respect in doing all motor. The downside to boost it takes a lot of tuning and bad tuning can cost you your motor.

I personally want to go all motor but I also don't need all the power most people want. If I did boost my SI I think I would do a JR Supercharger to be a little different. And not as much lag before power.

 

Turbo it!! Easier to go fast!!
Most all motor street b16 dont make over 200 hp at the wheel!!
Oh turbo b16 will definately smoke or hang with you buddy'd turbo LS!!

 

f*ck respect, respect never payed the bills
Turbo

 

Depends on how much time you want to work but I say all motor.

 

You need to sit down and plan out your goals. Do you plan to auto-x, road race, drag race, combo of the three? Do you plan on keeping it street legal? How fast do you want it to be? After a certain point safety, suspension, tire choice, gear ratios all play a very important roll. I'm sorry, but there are a lot of people that think you can build a motor, slap a big turbo on it crank up and boost and go run 10's. Not going to happen. Traction also plays a roll at the track and a huge roll on the streets and generally a turbo'd honda and traction don't exactly go hand in hand with each other. That in itself is probably 80% of the reason why turbo'd honda's get beat by all motor ones.
