Do you guys ever wish that you guys went turbo? or if not...why are you so happy with your all-motor...what did you do and and how much did you spend?

I have had a few customer regret it. All motor is a comnbination thing. Like people with full body full interior intgeras with ac and power steering it is a task to get one of those things moving all motor. takes allot more effort than a let say a hatch gutted. But that wass my experiance i hope this helps.

well...i am using a daily driver as a project car...so i wouldn't be gutting out anything to go fast....reason being i ask this question was because i was thinking about goin all motor but alot of people tell meh to go turbo being that its cheaper int eh long run to accomplish the same time gaols being that it will be reliable if the turbo is test and tuned...b4 i use think all motor was the way to go because of the reliablity being that my car is a daily driver.

All motor is awesome... i think if you're gonna go turbo then you at least gotta run 10's anything less would be lame... i would love to have a 10 sec turbo street car. but All motor is the way to go for me

i think about going turbo sometimes when i see deals on a turbo kit, but then again i already have all the parts for my all motor setup and i just want to see the project through. I figure it will be all worth it in the long run when some turbo kid wants to race and gets smoked by an NA car

I just think All motor is more fun than turbo. you have lots things to work with on the car. Like Drag_Racer_DRU said, if you go turbo and that thing is running in the 13's it is not fast for a turbo car.

I didn't said 13's all motor was fast. I'm saying that lots people has turbo are running in the 13's.

Next time read, before you open your mount.

All motor is definitly more impressive. I havent owned a Honda in almost 4 years (had 5 before), all of mine were all motor. I miss the challenge and simplicity of all motor. Once you step into the realms logging, tuning, boost, knock/dentonation, A/F's, etc, you kinda miss the simplicity of it all.

I know one thing I miss is a car that weighs under 2700lbs

I have a friend that just like a week ago bought a turboed car off of ebay 96 gsr runs 245hp at 9 psi dyno proved. We raced a GTP In Linocln running 15psi and it took us to third gear to beat it. I am gonna go all motor and want to get about 250 hp if i can't push a little more but its not going to be a eveyday driver with that much hp NA it prolly won't last long as a daily driver. The power in the two are totally different in my opinion with an all motor u will c power faster than in a turbo car(LAG) My friends didn't really seem to have impressive power untill boost hit obviously but when it did it was pretty sweet about 5 grand or so. I think it will be more fun to beat alot of cars and say that the car is NA to blacklude717

After owning two boosted cars, all motor is a very relaxing change. A lot more thought goes into tranny selection, wheel and tire selection, and unnecessary items which can be removed for weight.

all-motor baby. see how those faces light up when you kick there turbo butts in a NA motor. takes more heart into the build, cause you just didn't slap on a turbo and say you got power but that blow off valve does sound freakin nice. my boys all-motor gsr in a ek owned a few eks with gsr turbo that thought they was all that, funny.

wow, calm down there buddy. wasn't serious foolio.

even still, when you say 13s is not fast for a turbo car...you're IMPLYING its fast for an all motor car. You dont have to ACTUALLY say it to mean it.
