Turbo vs. all motor
 
hi everyone, this is Coop's girlfriend, i'm using his name because i don't have one, and he's at Army Boot Cmp, and i need answers.
i was wondering if i should boost my Z6 and go with that, or to swap with a b16a, and to dress up that with the exterior and stuff. what would be better in the long run?? sorry if this seems like a "newb/noob" question, i'm still new at this stuff. thanx guys

p.s. i have a 95 civic ex coupe, nothing really going on engine wise but an aem sir.

Depends on your budget, and who would be installing the motor/turbo.

if turbo, coop and one of his friends, if motor, then a acura/honda spec company in nashville.

Then go turbo as it will be much cheaper, and you could get more power from a turbod SOHC than a stock B16. HEd save a decent amount of $ by installing his own turbo as opposed to haveing a shop do a motorswap.,

plus it will beat a stock b16.

but the b16 would probably last longer if it was kept relatively stock with just minor bolt ons

I'd say it depends on your goals, willingness to spend money

possibly, i mean i drive my car every single day, but its not like its constantly in boost. The tune has a lot to do with it.

The driver has alot to do with it also, even a honda engine will fail when it is beat on all the time no matter how good a setup or tune is.
