Check this paper out as a guide.

Did you talk about how how you can efficently make more power w/turbo? You could talk about turbo'd small displacment engines in europe.
A downside would be replacement cost to the average car driver having a dealership do the work.

i would have to say 'a' seing as how i'm spending 3 times as much by going n/a than i did on my turbo kit and built engine put together. i'll build another turbo motor, but yeah, i am bored with it for now, so i'm trying something new. still all motor feels great in my opinion.

I'm with you on that. I spent just under 4k on my motor and I will probably make 180ish whp lol. It's what I get for going oem honda with most of my parts. But I'm sure i'll love it (:

If I had to pick between a NA motor and a Turbo motor, I would have to concider what kind of car it would be. If it was a dedicated drag car, I would rather have a car that was turbocharged. If I were to be doing any type of autox or road race, I would want the NA motor... either that or a turbo that spooled down low and could breathe enough to give me an advantage up top.

i've ridden in quite a few powerful all motor cars. what convinced me was a completely stock h22 in a coupe just like mine. hell, i'm gonna throw in a stock motor, get an rmf header, some type s cams and tune the bitch and it will be good for 215whp. 215whp all motor feels just as good as 250 whp turbo. not to mention, this is basically a stock set up with no worries what so ever. i'll be building a turbo race car next year, or maybe even slap a turbo on the h22 after a while. i just want to try something different for a while

im with snafu, turbos are good in certain conditions, although a buddy of mine in phoenix a CL (yeah i know its heavy) with an h22 fully built putting out 450 at the wheels right now (still has alot more to go, only runnng 1 bar gonna be at 3 bar when hes done) and at the moment one of there other buddies has a civic hatch with and ls vtec putting down 230 at the wheels and he can easily keep up with the CL up to 100mph after that its all over. i know power to weight has a lot to do with it but you get my drift.


and as for turbos they can be very effecient for gas mileage and for towing and many other fields of motor sports like rock crawlers and long travel buggies and so forth. they use them in just about every longtravel buggie out there so they must be doing something right.

lol i would but this is my senior paper and if i dont do it exactly the way they want it i fail and dont get to graduate lol.
Who they hell are your teachers. I almost never write the amount asked its called content. Um all motor is faster on the street 200 whp all motor will always take a 200 whp turbo car on street tires. All motor is for rich people. Reliabilty of an agressive all motor build is not meant for the streets
