BOOST VS N/A DEBATE: ROUND 1

[1civic]

Its funny how alot people would just put a Turbo kit on their car without thinking anything out... Alot does go into a build.. Both N/A and Boost..
Even if you don't have the Money to build a Monster...You could think of ways to be faster...Examples: Lighter car, Different gearing, Better tires, Your driving skills, Etc..... I myself own a Boosted car and a N/A car... One of the first things I think about is putting power to the Ground.. I like all around Power for the most part so Big Boost in my 240 would be no fun... It would make BIG power yes but only good for the nothing... I like driving my cars daily... .. With N/A you can be fast and I think we have people to prove this.. You have to have a Plan.. Its this a street car ? Are you going to drive it Daily ?...Is it your only car ? Etc... Alot goes into anybuild and I would take ether one.. You have to find a Happy Meduim.... For the most part people don't have a clue what it takes to make power and the rely on The internet or other people to copy off of.. Not saying its a bad thing because we all need help... You just can't expect your car to be what HIS is... Anyways IMO.. I see just as much in both N/A and Boost Monsters... Theres alot more to just bolting on parts And I hope poeple will understand this...

true, true

but on the turbo kit part - thats mostly the N/A crowd going turbo ( talking general here )

but generally speaking, people who buy an FI car already ( like me, 1439/2000, or ppl who swap to an FI engine ) - they build their own setup piece by piece


IMO, I think the largest plus about an FI over an N/A is that FI is adjustable by boost setting ( i.e drive @ 15psi everyday, go to the track/dyno, crank up to 25psi, rip off some nice 1/4s or HP #s, then turn it back down ) whereas N/A, you're stuck with what you got - which could result in a faster wear down on engine components
