Whos going the NA route?
Everybody is always talking turbo this and super that or the cheap and easy NOS, but I was jus wondering who here plans on staying NA? I find NA to be very interesting and fun. post up

RE: Whose going the NA route?
When I get my Civic, I'm gonna stay N/A because I don't wanna mess with the reliability of the engine. (With my job and home locations, I need reliable transportation because of the distance apart)
At one time I was thinkin of S/C, but I know I'd be tempted to "let it go" too many times, and even tempted to "give it just a little more psi".

RE: Whose going the NA route?
I'm definitely going to stay NA for awhile, since my car is brand new I don't want to mess with reliability too much; although I'm not really sure how much it is affected by FI. Do you need to have a heavily modded engine to turbo, or is it plausible to drop it onto a stock engine and expect long term reliability?

Going by what I've learned, if you stay 6 psi or lower, you'll be okay to turbo a stock engine. (again, I know I couldn't keep it below 6 psi with the temptation sittin there)

My SC is a friggin blast but my next project is gonna be NA. I know I could have broken 15sec if I had the patience and expertise. As a matter of fact, I am going smaller. I'm gonna build a JDM D15. Where does everybody order their JDM stuff?
