No reason , just wanted people to not explain why, just wanted a simple boost or no boostOriginally Posted by Maníac
boost
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.

IN boost we thrust... lol.
voted
nothing in this world makes the hair on my neck stand up more than the shrill cry of a blow off valve. nothing.
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.

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.
I wanna know what that feeling is like, the blow off valve that is. One dayOriginally Posted by osnap

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

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
My car is factory....
Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
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.Originally Posted by JDMjoe86

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

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

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.
actually, there were two in the 80's, the honda city made from 82-87, and the acura legend with the C20AT made in 89....Originally Posted by JDMrequired
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.Originally Posted by JDMrequired
Personally I'm not gonna vote because I can't make up my mind, I'm split down the middle.

If you dont vote, you must stay NA FOOORRREEEVVEEERRRRRR!!Originally Posted by spacelion
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
BLOW ME OFF BABY!!!!!!!

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.Originally Posted by THX712517
Try not. Do or Do not.

Gimme a Subie that'll boost without lag and hit 8K on the clock and I'll be happy.
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.Originally Posted by THX712517
