For speed? you're kidding right? obviously it will be more prone to problems, but with proper tuning and a good fuel management it can be quite reliable
because turbo is more meintenence and forced induction on a stock engine will make your engine turn to shXt faster then you think. Building up the head is the first step im taking,eventually i will build the block. I dont think i will ever do forced induction simply because of the damage it can do.
n/a is cool if that's what you're all about, but the lack of torque will own you... and you're building up a non-vtec which also hurts (ls/vtec perhaps?)
Anyways, I was trying to start **** or talk **** on your setup, we're all after the same goals more or less. I was thinking of going n/a when i was deciding on what to do, but i read enough posts, and talked to enough tuners and i finally decided on boost. Possibly not the best way to keep my car reliable, but you only live once and i love the feeling of getting thrown back into my seat whenever i punch it, and if i would have gone n/a, i'd still be $1000's away from that feeling
