Fast is better. I dont care if you've got a nitrous equipped Kia Sephia, built all-motor CRX, big-turbo Evo, if its fast its better. If you want a fast NA car get something with a V8, if you want less displacement and the same amount of power you really need forced induction.

NA is better is a statement normally reserved for guys that dropped 4K into a honda to only make 195whp and justify their expense. Factory turbo cars respond much better to small mods and can generally run a lot more power on the factory block.

na is better in certain racing types obviously(also depends on the car too though)
and in others you just cant go as big without boosting

Old school Civic turbo back in the 80s. I think honda went 20 years without a boosted car before the RDX.

NA commands ALOT more respect b/c its required time, effort, blood, sweat, tears. not to say boost doesn't but to see a 250 hp car NA is ALOT more impressive 250 hp boosted.

having driven both, and i'll say being a MINOR fan of honda but i can deeply appreciate the affects of Vtec and its all motor capabilities and also the effects of boost. especially the F series engines... (s2000 series at least) i'll say this since it goes both ways...

Highway runs for the use of honda freeway fun.... boost no question about it... having raced my friends S2000 *top up and top down* it needs the TQ.... its a honda... not saying its a bad thing but yeah...

for mountain/daily/gymkana etc etc NA all day! nothing sounds sexier than a Spoon exhaust or T1R set up with a TODA Vtec Killer package @ 9 grand. and its a more....... "pure" sound i think....

ash7

10-21-2007, 08:52 PM

NA or boost depends on what exactly you're wanting out of a car. You won't see big numbers out of an all motor setup with a honda, but ease of maintenance and longevity are the winner for me.

I prefer NA any day.

Any 02 or newer JDM STI motor will spin to 8K+rpms. I've got my rev-limiter set at 8500rpm but there are guys elsewhere in the country that routinely spin them to 9 or 10K. Boost without lag, get a supercharger bro, you'll just have to live with the lag. You can run twin-scroll turbos or variable geometry blades to cut down on it but there will always be lag with a turbo.

You got to realize that hondas lack torque and awd.

If you drove the car stock and then drove it again after the mods, you have more respect for it (unless you already have).

I drove his car on the stock motor, then he spun a bearing and put a built Type R B18 in it with the type R tranny, it was a good improvement but still too slow. That car had no pickup underneath 6K but above that it pulled decently to 9 or 10K, I cant remember exactly what the redline was.

superboost

10-22-2007, 09:22 PM

One of the things here that seems to shape many an opinion is the fact that so many run hondas here. As much as I love honda and their engineering prowess, the cars do NOT come boosted from the factory, with the exception of the old j-spec only legend and the new RDX. Anyway, as a result, the motors will be less reliable when boosted. yes you can build them up and strengthen them, but for the most part, reliability is an issue with boost.

Being an old volvo/ford head and having turbo'd those cars, while reliability becomes an issue as well when you go up in power, I can say it is pretty high unless you get insane. My friend's wagon has 190,000 miles on it, never removed the cyl head and puts down a cool 319whp and is a daily driver. While we don't run it that hard every day, you get the picture. You won't see too many hondas doing that on stock block or with that many miles. My old volvo easily ran in the mid 200s for years having over 170k miles on the clock. It depends on how tough the block is. Heck, my friend's turbo mustang had nearly 300,000 miles on the clock and that motor made 280whp. Depends on how well built and heavy the block is for taking boost.

Not discounting hondas or the japanese stuff in general, but don't let it shape your opinions too much. The drawback to these heavy boost taking blocks is that they can't rev. 6500rpms is the ragged edge, whereas half these smaller honda blocks are just getting going by then.

Factory RB26DETTs rev to 8K stock(correct me if im wrong), and Ive seen videos of them revving over 9K modified.

Elbow

10-23-2007, 09:48 AM

Matters what the car is for. I say straight line boost, turns I say NA, faster throttle response, no lag, etc. Just raw go. Not to say with loads of money you cant make boost good in turns. It also depends on the car I say. For ME and my car I voted NA. I dont choose sides though.

Big J

10-23-2007, 10:53 AM

The problem with doing either is when you don't do it right, it doesn't matter what car, what motor.

Turbo selection is the key, it's going to be what determines response and power range, that's what is going to make a car better at one thing or another.

Dollar per HP turbo is going to win hands down.

You have to realize if your shooting for a 300 1.8L motor you have about 28% of the displacment of a 5.7L v-8. Just based on displacmet vs. hp output, it's equivalant to a 960 hp 5.7L V-8. How many daily driven 960 hp V-8 are going to be "dependable"? Even at 960 hp the V-8 is going to see less stress because the power is distributed to 4 cylinders per revolution as opposed to 2.

Either way, turbo FTW

Jecht

10-23-2007, 01:30 PM

It would entirely depend on how the car is going to be driven. The power curve needs to be different for different driving styles and tracks.

I agree about NOT boosting ITRs (as well as any other Type-R). But about boost being best for drag racing, I'll agree with DoriDori...turbochargers play a HUGE role in both SuperGT and Le Mans cars. But then again, there's the NISMO 350Zs that're in SuperGT with 4.5L all-motor V8s.

For the purist driving experience, you'd want the motor to be free breathing or without any forced induction. However, technology is changing fast and sooner or later new high tech turbo cars (Porsche and BMW etc.) will feel almost as good as the best drivers cars today (GT3, R8, ZR1, M3, Scruderia, Gallardo LP, Exige, RX8, etc.) that are breathing N/A and supercharged(almost as good).

:lmfao: lol. whats wrong with boosting a nissan.......sine my sr20 comes with one

He said he likes boost with nissan and others import auto makers. Just not honda.

Since its already been brought back to life, Ill give my opinion.

If I had tons of money to spend, I would definitely build all my hondas to be NA. Sharp throttle responce, the sound of ITBs screaming... But allas, I do not have tons of money.lol Boost is just so damn efficient, its hard to argue with it.

You can spend under $1500 on a reliable turbo set up for an ls motor and make more hp and torque than you would have if you dropped in a ITR motor.

Turbo= bang for your buck
And if you want to go for the max amount of hp you can possibly squeeze out an engine, it HAS to be FI.

Subaru = Boost
Honda = N/A high rev

My Answer to This is an RX-7 you get all the Revs of a Honda with boost to back up all the obnoxious noise.

I'm building a NA D-series. But I also have a Supra so I got best of both worlds. Hondas in my opinion should all be NA cuz they sound so damn good screaming in VTEC at 8K or higher. My :2cents:. I'm gonna vote boost though cuz BOV's are siiiick and I like my Supra more. LOL

I say boost is better. I've ran a b18b and b18c both at one point were boosted.

Now I drive a WRX...Boost + AWD is best Aspiration.

How is the 20B King of import N/A motors? It's only 250 hp when you run it N/A... lol, the new Camry V6 makes more than that.

depends on the motor, i hear that anything smaller than 6 cylinders will run rough. I personally think NA should only be for V8's, anything else wouldnt really have amazing potential

10-28-2009, 07:27 PM

It all depends on what you want to do. Ive owned N/A cars, turbo cars and supercharged cars. i love the feel and sound of a turbo, but would much rather drive a Z06 than my turbo honda,lol

I am NA, but I will freely admit that boost it more fun, exhilarating, and rewarding.

I completely respect both, as long as they're well done. I do prefer N/A almost purely for the induction noise though. Check out these short vids.

Listen to this shit. You know for a FACT that you're asking the motor to do all that it can do... gotta love it.

Personally, at my age, my friends are all into boosted cars just because of their blowoff valves and because they sound good this and that blahblahblah, but me i dont really like all that hype. SURE, hearing a turbo spool and a blowoff valve is nice, but there are some all motor cars that i've seen that a couple of my friends have that would probably give their boosted counterpart a nice run for their money..

LOL, and as a budding engine builder, i personally like the way all-motor makes you stay on your toes as far as when you think about piston-to-valve clearances, getting your timing to be dead-on, reading out bearing clearances, etc. I'm sure boost makes you stay on your toes as well, but in a different way; like monitoring air temperatures, pressures, etc. For some reason, it just doesn't fascinate me as much as the all-motor does, its almost like a mystery to me how you can tap so much power out of something so small without forced induction. lol.
