**KPowerEP3** · 10-19-2007, 07:10 PM

Depends on what you want to do.

**KPowerEP3** · 10-19-2007, 07:14 PM

I have both...but I did vote...

**Maniaç** · 10-19-2007, 07:20 PM

Voted.

And may I ask, why the hell are you typing like that?

**Barefoot** · 10-19-2007, 08:36 PM

boost

**KPowerEP3** · 10-19-2007, 09:10 PM

lol @ 5-1

**GTScoob** · 10-20-2007, 02:08 AM

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.

nothing in this world makes the hair on my neck stand up more than the shrill cry of a blow off valve. nothing.

**JDMjoe** · 10-20-2007, 03:29 PM

N/A ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to say i don't like boost i just would never boost a HONDA. Nissan, Mazda and so on boost the shiet out of it. Honda strives for n/a performance along with performance companies like mugen and spoon.
Thank you.

boost... but i LOVE all motor set ups... B18C5 with ITB's is hard to beat on the sex meter

hahaha
i lol'd
to me it all depends on what type of racing your doing
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

**superboost** · 10-20-2007, 05:57 PM

depends on what u wanna do. Generally NA seems to be more simple and reliable, but boost is generally faster and more powerful. YMMV, but do what ya like. I enjoy boost

Thank you.

i agree with JDMjoe86 for the most part....i usually look down upon boosted hondas (not all). the only turbo car that honda has sent off its assembly lines is the Acura RDX.

depends.

boosting an Integra Type R is wrong in every way

boosting a d-series is the only way to make good power without spending much money

boost is usually best for drag racing although there are plenty of road/circuit cars that are turbocharged, like porsches...

and there is my

that no one cares about

N/A ALL THE WAY

What about the entire JGTC?? And ALMOST every japanese form of motorsport?

**THX712517** · 10-20-2007, 09:00 PM

I like N/A because it takes a ****load of cash and knowledge to make good power. IT TAKES EFFORT. Boost is freaking sweet because it's cheap and you don't have to know too much, just be careful with it.

Subaru = Boost
Honda = N/A high rev

**OneSlow5pt0** · 10-20-2007, 09:04 PM

26B = ultimate JDM N/A

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

How bout a high revvin boostin subaru? Best of both worlds.

**THX712517** · 10-20-2007, 09:33 PM

Gimme a Subie that'll boost without lag and hit 8K on the clock and I'll be happy.

**mocha latte cupcake** · 10-21-2007, 07:29 PM

i'll agree with the most part of things that have been said,.....

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.

boosting any Type R

hondas were meant to scream without the assistance of a snail.

What do you think about turboing a F20C or F22C? Just wondering

**b16ftw** · 10-21-2007, 08:44 PM

boost... woo!

**mocha latte cupcake** · 10-21-2007, 08:47 PM

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.

**NAG2I** · 10-22-2007, 12:53 AM

i mean formula one being one of the highest classes of racing
and they are NA
not to mention they are 2.4 litre v8's that rev to 19 grand
