Lol that's basically like me telling you your bicycle isn't worth building, because it's not a 10-speed mountain bike.


As for the original poster: If you actually were going to do something so goofy, Why spend thousands on a "turbo kit"? You do know you can piece together a complete non-ebay kit for way under $1,000 correct? That includes exhaust, injectors, turbo setup/fmic kit, And all the other bolt-ons. Sure, Not brand new, But still at alot cheaper of a price.

Winnar.


Also, autos are more consistent launchers, keep boost up between shifts better, and can be easily restalled to take further beatings.


In for the awesomeness. Boosted b20 awd? I'd rock it. Ye of little faith...

I turbocharged my Raider so I'm biased, but turbo SUVs kick ass. Do it.

Thanks for understanding guys, I was not trying to pick on the person or start a war.

I always just hear people look in cars at shows or the track and say " ah, it's AUTO!!!!" "What a waste/junk/slow/garbage" ETC ETC ETC.

I was at car show last summer and an almost 1000rwhp supra came in the lot. All the kids quickly gatheredand when they seen it was an auto car, Ignorance came into play and they quickly sighed and said '' wow it's auto, what a crapper. Thing must be slow". I don't know where this stereotype of auto's being bad, Ever came into play, But it's completly wrong. Auto cars when built will NEVER shift faster then a 5spd car. Auto cars have so many more benifits too them, But your teeanage '' know it all's '' never learne that along the way. I'm sure they also don't know that auto cars blue book for more LOL.

Basically the same as manual window's and auto window's... Although, You never hear someone going up to a car saying " Man, What a waste, It's got auto windows"!!!!!

[Subie_sleeper]

DO IT!!!!!!!!

I get the "Why did you do that, to THAT?" question QUITE often.

It's because it's hardly EVER done.

SOOOO many people mod the SAME cars OVER and OVER and OVER.

Civics, WRX/STIs, GTI/GLIs, Mazdas, Nissans etc.... Awesome builds & not so awesome builds.... but HUNDREDS of them.

Do your own thing, be unique & surprise the HELL out of the boring masses EVERY chance you get!

Don't worry about what people think.

That was because I was in my rage of madness typing because I kept picturing every time I see a young little kid running up to a built or super fast auto car and instantly downing it because it was auto. Yes, No 5spd car will shift faster then a built auto trans car is what my original post was suppose to say

[Proven]

I also say do it.. It would obviously be unique, fun, and definitely a conversation piece.

Stick or auto wouldn't matter to me either with a CRV..

[Foolinaround]

You could launch the balls off it too,awd,just get beefier axels.

fact. there are tons of guys on my forum (subaruforester.org) that have 12 second cone killing 4eat foresters. it just makes it that much better when you walk someone, and if you lose, its only an suv. so you can rub it in their face that wow they beat a honda crv in a race ahah
