so do you think i should bui;d just a n/a engine or do you think i should just put a smaller turbo on it?

 

Dude, no offense, but do you have a crazy good income, or are you just pipe dreaming??


IMHO, you've got a LOT of homework to do before you start spending this kind of cash, on these kinds of parts

 

So do you think i should go with a smaller turbo or just run a N/A engine? I wouldn't mind getting the stage 2 or the 2GT or the 3.

 

a fast N/A engine isnt cheap, then again neither is the boosted engine you're speaking of building, if anything go with a mid size snail (nothing like a T3 or that big) and run minor boost, if you feel like you want to blow some money sleeve your block , change the cams/valvesprings/retainers and go with some upgraded injectors (for low boost dsm injectors work well) All I can say is think realistically.

 

so, in a daily driver, what is more reliable? built n/a or turbo???????? seems to me that an aftermarket turbo as a dd adds to the can go wrong list? and as was mentioned earlier, just what kind of budget are you working with? and why do you keep that car that is not yours in your sig?

 

i am waiting to take a better pic. of my car for my sig!

 

cool, i was just curious....

 

Get the full race stage 1 kit. That will make more power then you know what to do with. I am boosting 8 lbs on a SOHC and when i made that first WOT pull I was like "WTF is that?" And the answer is??..........Torque. If you tuned for like 300WHP ud be amazed, and you will NOT need anything else. A 650 HP Civic can not "Cruise" and im pretty sure theyre tuned for WOT, and thats it.

 

i might get a Stage 1 kit from full race or i might just build a N/A engine.

 

if you want a N/A engine that will hold with a Full Race Stage 1 turbod engine the NA probably wont be daily driven. with a FRS1 you could probably make just shy of 400 without a tune.
