Need help to decide Turbo versus N/A
ok guys need some opinions, advice, rants, and all around comments on something.
Heres the deal right now I'm doing mods that will be usuable if I go NA or turbo PROBLEM with this is I can't chose a header and that one of the best bolt ons one can get.
Now I really want to go N/A but concerns have come up and it may not be a very viable option anytime in the near future.
Now with a turbo build I have the following already, a blown turbo (will replace with BB cartradge), a Spearco intercooler (will need to change 1 end tank), fuel mangement (hondata s300 going in no matter if turbo or N/A), boost controller, boost gauge, AEM UEGO (going in no matter N/A or turbo), and oil pressure gauge (same). I would need to make new charge pipping(or find a kit which would probably be too small of pipping anyway) and find a manifold (probably find a good equal lenght or maybe a log style if I want to keep the price down) and pick up a koyo radiator. Charge pipping doesn't seem to hard I could piece some together pretty fast.
Now if I do go with N/A I would have to get an engine and build that up as I can't really have this car down for a few weeks while I'm building up an engine. This is one of the reason the turbo looks better I can mock everything up and have the car daily then get a long weekend off to install everything and get it on a dyno and tune it. Also with turbo I can always build the engine for low compression at a later date if I need to but I honestly think a lude with 6 PSI running through it is a pretty meanly quick street car.
as of right now I have a list of things to do before this even needs to be dealt with and ym current situation may even change before I need to decide. But I would kind of hate to see all that turbo stuff go to waste or to sell it all off, I really did love the turbo but I know I cna have that type of power with an N/A build but it would be a pretty long while to feel it.
so what do you guys think?
