Being different vs. Making power

[BABY J]

yEah but babyj didn't build a na motor. He built a well rounded na engine to handle forced induction.

And no offense to babyj and I don't know the details of his build but I wouldn't classify his as "different". Maybe it's different in that it's reliable and uses good parts and was built well lol. But an na ls is hardly "different".

Different to me is an NA d series or a g23 or a k20 with s2k pistons or something else that is stupid haha

kiss= keep it simple stupid

There is nothing "diff" or strange about my setup - other than the GSR crank and custom length rod in a B18B block. The rest is textbook run of the mill stuff - small cams (403s) on stock cam gears (0,0). Compression isn't "too" crazy - pump-gas daily driver w/out VTEC. Nothing weird in my opinion. I've posted the setup on many forums - nothing to hide.

Either way, if you'd take all the money you put into building your NA motor, you could have left it stock & boosted if for MUCH less and made MORE power

skunk2s 330whp na rsx runs 9.6s, matt Keller ran 9.4 with 1000whp turbo

250whp crx runs 11.5-11.6s , almost no turbo car runs that fast with that little power.

Turbo is cheaper to achieve higher power numbers IN general. And it takes no skill

You don't get this discussion at all do you? Start your own thread if you want to change the topic - LOL

Only 556 words, I was expecting more than that from ya Mr. Vtec Killer. I'll respond back once I get some rest.

I'm not sure what to say. I can only speak for me - I can't defend the reasons why other people build "different" or "less popular" setups. I'll try my best to answer any q's you may have though man... although I think if you take yourself back to when you were modding the B16 you will get it. You were surrounded by many seasoned guys that have repeatedly said "b16s suck" yet you stuck with it. THAT is building what you want - and that's what I was trying to describe.
