Thats the stupidest thing I've ever read.

i vote sawp!

Loserkidwac · 03-06-2007, 05:05 PM

Soo...you are saying you will make less power for $2K on a NA setup than you will boosted...

so then you are agreeing turbo is best bang for the buck?

It dosen't matter iits a slow turbo kit its still fast than the NA set-up and therfore more power for less money = Best bang for the buck

I understand what you are trying to say but for $1200 my turbo kit will put down 300hp on an LS...if you put $1200 into an NA build you won't get much of any where...maybe do an LS vtec and some fordged rods and pistons, would be tight on only $1200...and what net you maybe 250hp? And to make more power you are going to need to dump a lot of money into it...

I have nothing against NA but it cost a lot to make power on a Honda motor...

Na is best, why do you "hate" stock Honda motors?????

Why are you so hung up on all motor Hondas????

"yea of course 2k into a turbo setup on a ls will make more power then 2k into a gsr for allmotor... but the allmotor car will be fast for all motor and the ls will be slow for turbo..."

What kind of logic is that???? Fast is fast whether it's turbo or NA, slow is slow whether its turbo or NA. An 11 second car will beat a 13 second car regardless of what it has under the hood. Thats like saying if you bring a knife to gunfight, its ok because the knife is "nice for a knife", but the other guy's gun is "just alright". Guess what. The guy with the gun is still going to win. It's irrelevant that you have a nice knife, because the "just alright" gun will shoot you.

mark449 · 03-10-2007, 05:57 PM

Do a LS/Vtec they are fast and will last if u do it right and not beat the hell out of it all the time

TurboTagTeam · 03-27-2007, 06:33 PM

I vote for option #4.

If you really want a fast reliable car, sell the civic. Cause you can't shine $hit. I seriously doubt you posess both the technicall knowledge and financial ability to pull off a K20 swap. Especially since you wont drop 2k for a cheap ass turbo kit.

Pick 2. Cause you can't have all 3

Cheap
Fast
Reliable

I vote 14 hamsters and 1 guinea pig for faster spool. Possibly a cast copper block with nickle valvetrain.
